  • Proposals Regarding a Federation of the Three Schools from 1St September 2013
    Working together for success: proposals regarding a Federation of the three schools from 1st September 2013. Where we are now Dilhorne Endowed C. E. (A) Primary School and St. Werburgh’s C. E. (A) Primary School agreed to work in a collaboration (sometimes called a Soft Federation) from September 2011 to August 31st 2012 which was subsequently extended to August 31st 2013). In April 2012 the two schools were joined by the Valley Primary School to complete the existing partnership of three schools which share an Executive Headteacher and work closely together in the very best interests of all our children in all three schools. Our experience of this collaborative arrangement has enabled us to make the following judgements and observations on the advantages and challenges of working in a collaboration with a ‘shared’ Headteacher during a time of fast educational change and increasing demands on Governing Bodies.

  • Quakerism in Staffordshire 31
    Quaftemm in A. G. MATTHEWS, M.A., of Oxted, formerly of Tettenhall Wood, near Wolverhampton, has written a useful book, The Congregational Churches of Staffordshire, with some account of the Puritans, Presbyterians, Baptists and Quakers in the county during the seventeenth century (London : Congregational Union, 7^ by 4$, pp. 275). Under the heading of " Henry Haggar, of Stafford," is recorded a dispute in 1654 at Harlaston, between Thomas Pollard, Baptist minister, of Lichfield, and Richard Farnsworth, the Quaker, with a reference to the resultant discussion in print by Farnsworth, Pollard and Haggar (p. 35. see Smith, Adv. Cata.). " The activity of the Quakers was chiefly directed, though by no means confined, to the Moorlands about Leek/' Richard Hickock, of Chester, was at Leek in 1654 and Thomas Hamersley, of Berry Hill, a Baptist, became a convert (pp. 36, 38). He went to Newcastle (Staffs.), and was the means of detaching Humphrey Woolrich from the Baptist to the Quaker persuasion (p. 39). Sir Bryan Broughton ( - ), of Beaudesert, was a leader in the county and arch-opponent of dissent; he set himself to unravel plots and destroy plotters believed to be at work in the district and elsewhere. At first he included Quakers with Baptists and Independents, but he later cleared the Quakers as refusing to fight and being only well wishers to the rebels (p. 60). Under the heading of "A Quaker Funeral," we have the account of the attendance of John Gratton, when " prisoner " at Derby, at the funeral of Robert Mellor, of Whitehough, in the parish of Ipstones, in 1684 (p.
