TRUSTEES The Trustees named in Appendix 1 have served throughout the year. Appointment of Trustees is governed by the Scheme of the Charity. The Board of Trustees is authorised to appoint Co- opted Trustees to fill vacancies arising through the resignation or death of an existing trustee. INVESTMENT POWERS The Scheme, as modified, authorises the Trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the Charity. They have power to delegate this authority to investment advisers. The Trustees have exercised this authority and, due to sound management, the investments have shown a considerable increase in market value over cost. CONSTITUTION, OBJECTS AND POLICIES The Charity is constituted by a Scheme as approved by the Charity Commissioners on 2nd March 1989 and modified on 4th October 2000, and its objects are to promote the education of persons under the age of 25 years who or whose parents are resident in the London Borough of Haringey or who have at any time attended as a pupil at a school in that London Borough and who are in need of financial assistance. Further objects are to provide benefits at any maintained schools and colleges in the London Borough of Haringey which are not normally provided by the Local Education Authority or Governing Body. The policy and objectives of the Charity continue to be fulfilled through the finances raised from its sound investment portfolio. DEVELOPMENT AND ACHIEVEMENTS The Trustees consider that the performance of the Charity this year has been satisfactory. Details of its achievements are set out in the Annual Report. FINANCIAL APPROVAL The financial affairs of the Charity are set out in the attached financial statements. This Report was approved by the Trustees on 27th November 2007 and signed on their behalf. M J McLellan Chairman - 3 - NINETEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOTTENHAM GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2006 - 2007 1 INTRODUCTION This, the nineteenth Annual Report of the Tottenham Grammar School Foundation, relates to the Academic Year 2006-2007. In 2006-2007 the Foundation‟s Trustees held one special and five ordinary meetings; the Awards Committee and the Finance Committee each held five meetings. During the course of the year Trustees visited schools and other establishments, concerts performed by Haringey Young Musicians and other events including athletic and other sports meetings in which young people in receipt of assistance from the Foundation have participated. These visits continue to form an important part of the Foundation‟s year providing as they do opportunities for informal meetings between staff and students and Trustees. Awards and Grants totalling some £1,245,992 were paid during the year and some examples of individual Grants and Awards authorised are given in the body of the Report. 164 Grants of £1,000 or more were made to schools and other institutions. In accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), as adopted by the Charity Commissioners, details of the 50 highest such Grants are given at Appendix 2 to this Report. 2 MEMBERSHIP The periods of office of Mr Michael McLellan and Mr Brian Howard as Co-opted Trustees came to an end during the year. In May 2007 Ms Irene Robertson resigned from her position as a Nominated Trustee. At a Special Meeting of the Trustees Mr McLellan was nominated and appointed to a further five year term. However Mr Howard indicated that he would not seek re-election. Mr Roger Knight, a former pupil of the Tottenham Grammar School, was appointed as a Co-opted Trustee for a five year term. He attended his first meeting in July 2007. In October 2007 the London Borough of Haringey advised that they had appointed Mr Andrew Krokou as a Nominated Trustee. He attended his first meeting in November 2007 and his period of office will be of four years duration. Mr Krokou had previously been a Trustee for many years, having been appointed as one of the „First Co-opted Trustees‟ when the Foundation was originally established in 1988-89. He was Chairman of the Foundation‟s Awards Committee prior to his resignation in 2002. There are currently no vacancies amongst the Trustees. 3 COMMITTEE STRUCTURE Mr Keith Brown and Ms Victoria Phillips were re-elected Chairmen of the Finance and Awards Committees respectively. No changes were made to the Committee structure which has continued to operate satisfactorily. - 4 - 4 CLERK TO THE FOUNDATION During the course of the year Mr Graham Chappell continued to serve as Clerk to the Foundation. He was appointed in May 2003 as the successor to Mr Peter Calvert who, having been clerk to the Foundation since 1988, retired from the position on 31 August 2003. 5 POLICY FOR AWARDS AND GRANTS The Foundation has two standard Awards for Haringey resident young people who have attended Haringey schools. The Somerset Undergraduate Award‟s current value is £650 and the Somerset (Further Education) Award is £250. A further increase in provision for Somerset Awards was included in the Foundation's Budget for 2006-2007. Awards totalling £629,674 were approved for the year of which some £540,602 was claimed. A comparatively small number of students, 42 out

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

  • Shaping the Future of Secondary Education in Haringey Consultation on Adjustment to Haringey’S Secondary Community Schools Published Admission Number (PAN)
    Shaping the future of secondary education in Haringey Consultation on adjustment to Haringey’s secondary community schools published admission number (PAN) The consultation period will run from 7 November 2016 to 16 December 2016 This document: Has a series of responses to FAQs (Frequented asked questions) Demonstrates why we expect to need to change our PANs (published admission numbers) Shows the consultation timetable Explains how you can let us have your views and comments on this consultation from this page on the Haringey website: www.haringey.gov.uk/secondaryconsultation2016 1 FAQs (Frequently asked questions) – Consultation on adjustment to Haringey’s secondary community schools planned admission number (PAN) What are we consulting on? The Council is consulting on a possible adjustment to the borough’s community secondary school PANs (published admission number1) to numbers wholly divisible by 30. This would bring the authority into line with the majority of schools across the country where PANs are all set at multiples of 30. Haringey’s community schools are: Gladesmore Community School Highgate Wood School Hornsey School for Girls Northumberland Park Community School Park View School We also have other types of secondary school in our borough: Academy – Alexandra Park School, Greig City Academy, Heartlands High School, St Thomas More Catholic School, Woodside High School Foundation – Fortismere School Free School – Harris Academy Tottenham The governing bodies of academy, foundation and free schools are responsible for setting their own PANs. At present the majority of secondary schools in Haringey have PANs that are wholly divisible by 27. The exceptions to this are Harris Academy Tottenham and Woodside High that have PANs divisible by 30 and Alexandra Park School that has a PAN divisible by 29.

  • Times Parent Power Schools Guide 2020
    Times Parent Power Schools Guide 2020 Best Secondary Schools in London London’s grip on the very top of the Parent Power rankings for both state and independent schools has been loosened in the past 12 months. This time last year, the capital had 10 of the top 20 schools in the independent sector and nine of the top 20 state schools — figures that have declined this year to eight and five respectively. The overall number of London schools in both rankings has remained broadly the same, however, (down by just three in both the state and independent sectors) while the southeast region is dominant. The capital encompasses the best and worst of education. London primaries are hugely disproportionately represented in our primary school rankings, published last week, with 181 junior schools in the capital among the top 500. However, too many of the children from these schools go on to get lost in underachieving secondaries that are a million miles — or rather several hundred A*, A and B grades — away from the pages of Parent Power. There is cause for some optimism, however, as recent initiatives begin to bear fruit. New free schools, such as Harris Westminster Sixth Form, are helping to change the educational landscape. Harris Westminster is a partnership between Westminster School, one of the country’s most prestigious independents, and the Harris Federation, which has built up a network of 49 primary and secondary schools across the capital over the past 25 years, sponsored by Lord Harris, who built up the Carpetright empire. Harris Westminster sits fourth in our new ranking of sixth-form colleges, with 41% of students gaining at least AAB in two or more facilitating subjects — those that keep most options open at university, including, maths, English, the sciences, languages, history and geography.

  • LYG Report School Shield 2015 HARINGEY RETAIN the SCHOOL
    LYG Report School Shield 2015 HARINGEY RETAIN THE SCHOOL SHIELD Haringey have become the first borough to successfully defend the Balfour Beatty London Youth Games School Shield title. The trophy goes to the best performing borough in the secondary schools competitions at Europe’s largest annual youth sports event. Haringey took top honours helped by gold medals in athletics and basketball and strong showings in tennis and badminton. Their victory was confirmed following the School Games finals at the National Sports Centre, Crystal Palace on 24-25 March which saw St Thomas More School win gold in the year 8 female sportshall athletics title and silver in the year 7 male sportshall athletics. Alexandra Park School also finished a creditable fourth in the key stage 4 female badminton competition, up five places on last year. Aligned with victories earlier in the year for Greig City Academy in the hotly-contested basketball female under 16 and under 14 competitions, it steered Haringey to the title. David Thomas, Borough Team Organiser for Haringey said: “It means a huge amount to us to retain the prestigious Balfour Beatty LYG School Shield. It not only reflects the talented youngsters in our schools but also the structure for school sport in the borough and the commitment of our PE teachers. Most importantly though we have a very supportive group of headteachers who understand the importance of top notch PE and School Sport; it's not a coincidence that all Haringey's secondary schools are currently rated good or outstanding." Underpinning the successes are some very fine performances by Haringey’s Primary Schools in both the spring and summer games led by Muswell Hill Primary School taking silver medals in the Girls’ Kwik Cricket at Richmond Cricket Club and Tetherdown Primary School’s bronze medals in the best team Football.
