Mrs. Cadd was educated in Lancashire before gaining a B.Sc. from Newcastle University in Computing Science and Mathematics. She taught at Arnold School, in Blackpool, and Kent School, in Hostert, West Germany, before lecturing in Business Computing at a College of Higher Education in Lancashire. Mrs. Cadd has also had industrial experience as a computer pro­ grammer, a considerable asset in these days when co-operation between School and industry is so important. Starting in September, were two young men who had both completed their P.G.C.E. courses at Durham University last year. Mr. Philip Joyce who was educated at St. Joseph’s, Hebburn, gained a B.Sc. degree in Applied Physics from University College, London. He has represented the English Universities Rugby XV and will be an assistant House Tutor in Langley House. Mr. Jeremy P. Morris who was educated in Gwent and Plymouth, has a B.Sc. degree in Geography and will become the resident House Tutor in The Caffinites. The resident House Tutor in Pimlico is Miss Victoria Turton, B.A., while Mrs. Cadd will supervise the new annexe for girls at No. 7 Pimlico.

  • The Use and Abuse of Cambridge University's Ten-Year Divinity Statute

    The Use and Abuse of Cambridge University's Ten-Year Divinity Statute

    Ambition, Anxiety and Aspiration: the use and abuse of Cambridge University’s Ten-Year Divinity Statute. This paper examines the market for and motivation of those who made use of a little-known Cambridge University statute which, in effect, offered a low-cost distance learning degree until 1858. It shows how non-graduates, both clerical and lay, attempted to use its provisions to enhance their status, facilitate career advancement and insulate themselves against status slippage, a problem that became acute in the second decade of the nineteenth century as the reinvigorated universities reasserted their role as educators of the clergy and as the bishops increasingly denied ordination to those educated outside their sphere. In doing so we can observe how the desires of non-graduate clergy to take degrees, and the attempts of liberally-educated non-graduates to enter the pulpits of the established Church, were responded to both by the university which received them and more broadly by the print discourse which critiqued their ambitions. The tensions revealed are relevant not just for understanding something of how the clergy were developing as an occupational group, and the tensions caused by the changing supplies of graduates, but also reflect more generally the status anxieties of the elites and middling sorts as they faced down fears of competition for cultural and economic privilege appendant to educational opportunities. The ten-year divinity statute: interpretation and reputation. Distance learning has a long pedigree at Cambridge University. A papal dispensation allowing monks and friars to proceed to the degree of bachelor of divinity, without first taking a degree in the arts was, in spirit, to survive the reformation.

    Cabinet 6 February 2019 School Admission Arrangements Academic

    Cabinet 6 February 2019 School Admission Arrangements Academic Year 2020/21 Report of Corporate Management Team Margaret Whellans, Corporate Director, Children and Young People's Services Councillor Olwyn Gunn, Portfolio Holder for Children and Young People’s Services Electoral division(s) affected: Countywide Purpose of the Report 1 The purpose of this report is to ask Cabinet to consider and approve the proposed admission arrangements and oversubscription criteria for Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools for the 2020/21 academic year. Executive summary 2 There is a proposed additional criterion to the current oversubscription criteria for admission to Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools. The Government wishes admission authorities to introduce oversubscription criteria to give children who were previously in state care outside of England, and have ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted, second highest priority for admission into school. This is because the Government believes such children are vulnerable and may have experienced abuse and neglect prior to being adopted. 3 Consultation has been carried out with schools, other admission authorities, Governing Bodies and parents on the council's admission arrangements in accordance with the national School Admissions Code as it is 7 years since they were last consulted on. Recommendation 4 Cabinet is asked to agree the proposed oversubscription criteria for admission to Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools; and to agree the following in respect of Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools, when determining the admission arrangements for 2020/21: (i) That the proposed admission numbers as recommended in Appendix 2 be approved. (ii) That the admission arrangements at Appendix 3 be approved.

Executive summary 3 Previous Cabinet reports have outlined the funding challenges that all schools face which are particularly pronounced for schools in rural settings which have fewer than 600 pupils (the Department for Education threshold for viability), which includes Wolsingham School and Sixth Form. 4 Of a wide number of options set out in the report of November 2017, and subsequently assessed and reported upon, the only viable options facing the school (short of closure) were federation with other schools or for governors to agree to a decision to join a multi-academy trust. 5 The option for Wolsingham School to federate with other schools was fully considered but too few schools agreed to form a federation, leading officers to conclude that the savings achievable would not be sufficient to eliminate the in-year and accumulated deficit of Wolsingham School.

  • Apostolic Succession

    Apostolic Succession

    Apostolic Succession Episcopal Seal of the Most Rev. Richard A. Kalbfleisch, STL, DD, NOSF Through the Catholic Apostolic Church of Brazil (Igreja Catolica Apostolica Brasileira) Old Catholic Church of Utrecht Russian Orthodox Church The Church of England & The Episcopal Church in the USA Catholic Apostolic Church of Brazil Archbishop Carlos Duarte Costa, ordained a priest within The Church of Rome on 1 April 1911, was consecrated to be the Roman Diocesan Bishop of Botucatu, Brazil, on 8 December 1924. His public statements on the treatment of the poor in Brazil (by both the civil government and the Roman Church) resulted in his removal as Diocesan Bishop of Botucatu. Bishop Duarte Costa was subsequently named Titular Bishop of Maura by Pope Pius XII (Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, Vatican Secretary of State until 1939 under Pope Pius XI). Archbishop Duarte Costa's criticisms of the Vatican, particularly the policy toward Nazi Germany, were not well received. He was formerly separated from the Church of Rome on 6 July 1945 after his strong and repeated public denunciations of the Vatican Secretariat of State for granting Vatican Passports to some very high ranking Nazis. Some of the most notorious Nazi war criminals (e.g., Adolf Eichmann and Dr. Josef Mengele, the "Angel of Death,") escaped trial after World War II using Vatican Passports to flee to South America. The government of Brazil also came under the Bishop's criticism for collaborating with the Vatican on these passports. Bishop Duarte Costa espoused what would be considered today as a rather liberal position on divorce, challenged mandatory celibacy for clergy, and publicly condemned the perceived abuses of papal power (especially the concept of Papal Infallibility, which he considered misguided and false).
