Located in the heart of Hampstead Heath, the Royal Free London Private Patients Unit combines the convenience, comfort and personalised attention of a private hospital with the very best state-of-the-art services, technology and professional excellence you would expect from a top London teaching hospital. Based on the 12th floor, the Private Patient Unit has a relaxed and friendly environment that is enhanced by a beautiful view. In June 2017, the Royal Free London Private Patients Unit opened a private outpatient, day-case and 23hr care facility which is conveniently situated off Barnet High Street, close to a wealth of shops, restaurants and other local amenities. Boasting eight consulting rooms, a minor treatment room, a dentistry room, an endoscopy suite, a radiology suite and two day case theatres, the new unit provides the very best environment to ensure patients experience the world class care that is synonymous with the Royal Free London. At both locations, each patient is cared for individually and treated with dignity, compassion, kindness and respect. Patients’ experience of care is a key priority and each patient receives the highest possible standards of quality care by efficient and competent staff, clinical and non–clinical. The Royal Free London Private Patients Unit is proud to bring the very best skills and standards of the NHS to the benefit of their private patients and, in doing so, support the continued development of the NHS and the Royal Free London through its success. All money generated from treatments is invested in hospitals and high-quality healthcare services. For more information about procedures, package pricing or to book an appointment at either location, please call a member of the Royal Free team on 020 7317 7751 Tri-Golf Festival for Hackney Youngsters a Huge Success Vibrant Partnerships and Lee Valley Regional Park Authority joined forces with Hackney Council and The Golf Foundation on Wednesday 21 November to host a Tri-Golf Skills Festival for local schoolchildren. Hosted at Queensbridge Sport & Community Centre (E8), more than 80 youngsters from the local area had the opportunity to enjoy a fun, exciting introduction to the sport led by qualified PGA coaches. As well as an introduction to golf itself, the enthusiastic youngsters also benefited from the opportunity to build vital life skills such as respect, teamwork and co-operation. Sessions will be introduced at Lee Valley Golf Course to allow more children to get a taster of the sport, whilst local schools will be provided with the training and resources to enable teachers, coaches and volunteers to spread the programme knowledge within the community. James Hetherington, The Golf and Accommodation Manger at Vibrant Partnerships said: “Vibrant Partnerships and Lee Valley Regional Park Authority were delighted to support the London Borough of Hackney Council’s Tri-Golf Festival. It’s vital for children to have access and engage in new sporting activities that they may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience. The Tri-Golf Festival provided the children with the opportunity to develop skills for life within a fun environment. We hope this is just a first of many golfing events in and around the borough.” For more information on Lee Valley Regional Park Authority and the Lee Valley Golf Course visit visitleevalley.org.uk/golf. Raising Confident Children with Perform Sara has two children, Honor (8) and James (6) who have both been attending Perform classes since they were 4 years old. “I’ve always wanted my children to feel confident speaking in pubic and chatting to all sorts of people. I think these are essential life skills these days” says Sara.

    EDWARD LEAR FOUNDATION 60 Bonham Road London SW2 5HG 020 7326 1811 Chronology of Disability Arts 1977- March 2003 by Allan Sutherland 1/6//05 Chronology of DisabilityArts 1/6/05 1 Introduction Context History is crucial to any culture, and it is essential to Disability Arts. It is through a sense of history that we define who we are, what journey we have undertaken and how far we have come. We also, implicitly, map out the future. By building upon the achievements of the past, as disability arts practitioners and the broader disability arts community, we can ensure that we are creating something solid that we hand down to those who come after us. But to be accessible to future generations, those achievements have to be documented. Otherwise, everything we do is transient, a superior form of occupational therapy. We might as well have been basket-weaving for the last twenty years. This process is particularly important for us as disabled people, because mainstream society devalues and marginalises so many of our achievements and struggles. We have to document our own culture, because it is not seen as significant enough to be documented in mainstream histories of the arts. We need to be able to hand something on to further generations that offers a vibrant view of disabled people, saying that there have been people like them before, and they created something of value, something that values them, something that is there for them to add to. And we can tell them the names of some of those people.

  • September 2019: Issue 2
    September 2019: Issue 2 What a great start to the new school year! It has been wonderful catching up with so many of you, hearing all about your summer adventures, at home and abroad. I would like to officially welcome all new families to Rhodes Avenue. The school doesn’t feel complete until our Nursery and Reception children are in school. I hope parents and carers managed to find the time to have a coffee with RAPSA at the Pavilion. RAPSA is a fantastic organisation that supports the school not only financially but also helps to create a wonderful sense of community. As a member of Rhodes Avenue Primary you are automatically a member of RAPSA. What’s new for this year? This summer we have developed many areas of school. I hope you have managed to find your way to our new pedestrian entrance. Please ensure this entrance is used to sign in and out of school between the hours of 9.05am to 3.15pm. We have increased our afterschool provision for Early Years and for Years 1 to 6 and have also increased capacity for our Breakfast club. The demand continues to be high and we will always try our very best to meet your needs. The extended school clubs have changed. We have a wider selection of clubs available: new clubs, new providers and in new spaces. Please visit the school website: https://rhodesavenue.school/parents/extra-curricular-clubs/ Continuing professional development The staff ended last year with great training by CLPE, Centre for Literacy in Primary Education, and explored the teaching of our non–core subjects, making curriculum links and developing language and vocabulary use.
