Our tributes to Henry Leeke, Queen Elizabeth I and other founders included a fine performance of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the formation of the 450 Parent Choir, a splendid Easter Anniversary Concert, the special Commemoration Service in Southwark Cathedral, and culminated with the fascinating exhibition, including Dr Carrington’s canes which stirred a few memories! The year also concluded with the best public examination results in the school’s history at A level, AS level and GCSE, and a running total of nearly 90 Oxbridge successes over the last 3 years. It was pleasing, if not surprising, that we were ranked as the country’s No. 1 State school with mixed 6th Form at Advanced level, and the 2nd best Boys’ school at GCSE, by The Times and The Telegraph newspaper league tables. Against a backdrop of some of the worst Public Sector funding cuts to hit education since the 1950s, we can be proud that our students have not only achieved these impressive levels of scholarship but have also engaged in international cultural activities from New York to Namibia, ancient Greece to Ecuador, as well as Chess, Fives, Music and Drama at National competitive levels. My thanks go to our Latin Master, Mr Craig, for once again skilfully editing this magazine which, I hope, will provide you with much interesting and entertaining reading. Aydın Önaç Headmaster 4 – Olavian 2012 am very conscious for the need for variety and this year’s Editorial magazine will represent a shift from the norm. What Ihowever has not changed is the constant achievements of our pupils both academically, theatrically, sportingly, forensically, artistically and in numerous other activities. Of these you will be able to read in abundance but there has been a real growth in terms of cultural enrichment especially in the Faculty of Modern Languages with new trips to Spain, Germany and France. It seems that our pupils have been kept very busy in places as far removed as Costa Rica and Botswana. This is not to distract from the very significant academic achievements here at the school but to stress that the school is not merely a place of academic preparation but a provider of vitally important opportunities to enrich their experiences through scholarship and cultural diversity. My hope is that Old Olavians will enjoy reading this magazine and the current students will give some time to reflection on how blessed they are to be at a school of such stature. David Craig Editor About the redesign n September 2012, I was in the unusual position of up with my endless comments, suggestions, requests for being the Assistant Student Editor both for a second change and short deadlines, at the same time as remaining Iyear, and for the issue celebrating the year in which calm and amicable, and producing a brilliant design. the school’s long history was commemorated. When a Thanks are also due to Olly Plumstead, who very kindly friend reminded me that we had previously discussed took some of the photos at extremely short notice. And, re-designing the Olavian, I agreed that this should go finally, thanks are due to all my friends, various members ahead (unaware of quite how much work we would be of staff, and my family, who were, at some point over doing at A2). October, given chunks of the magazine whenever they saw me, and asked for an opinion. Thus it will be noted that this year’s Olavian has been refreshed and re-designed, the order shuffled slightly, and Peter Leigh generally (it is hoped) made more accessible. The photos Assistant Editor have increased in number, the articles span a yet wider range of subjects, we have enlarged the creative work N.B. It may be that some people reading this will section, and it is our hope that this edition will (whether consider that the design is not as much to their taste because of, or despite, the changes!) appeal to its wide as the previous was. The previewers, however, seemed to audience of school pupils, parents, staff, Governors, Old like it. De gustibus non est disputandum! Olavians and others. Huge thanks are due to William Dalton, who has spent so many hours on the re-design of this magazine, putting Olavian 2012 – 5 SCHOOL NOTES 2012 Admissions Olave’s Olympiad, 4 of our students – Antony Barker, Duncan 011-12 was a complicated year for admissions and, Bell, Alistair O’Neill and Thomas Saunders - were following changes to government legislation, we had awarded distinctions, with Duncan gaining a coveted 2to handle admissions for September 2012 as well as Gold medal and an invitation to join the training camp bringing forward the Open Day and application round in Budapest.

  • The Dover Pullman Boat Express
    No. 7 - The Dover Pullman Boat Express First published in the Meccano Magazine July 1927 What the real name of the train is I could not say. For many years past the “Eleven o’clock” service from Victoria has been familiar to travellers all over the Continent but our train this month cannot rightly be called the “Eleven o’clock,” because it starts at 10:45! It is, in fact a first portion of the 11 a.m. train, designed to give its fortunate passengers the choice of places on the boat at Dover. Sometimes it is called the “Golden Arrow,” but that name belongs to the French express that runs in connection on the other side of the Channel, and which was described in the May article. The rudest name that I have heard bestowed upon the 10.45 down is that of the enginemen who, in joint recognition of the beautiful cream and umber livery of the Pullmans and the enormous weight of the train, have nicknamed it the “White Elephant.” It will be agreed that so famous a train as this needs a name of its own, and one day perhaps the Southern Railway authorities will think out some telling designation, to rank with the “Southern Belle” and the “Atlantic Express.” Meanwhile it is difficult to write an article of this character in description of a train without a name! 1 Popularity of the Train So far from being a “White Elephant” in reality, the 10.45 a.m. from Victoria is one of the best-paying trains on the line.

  • Rail Devolution Business Case Narrative
    Submission to HM Government Date: 14 October 2016 Title: Rail devolution business case narrative 1 Summary 1.1 The purpose of this paper is to set out the case for further transfer of responsibility for the provision of some rail passenger services from the Department for Transport (DfT) to the Mayor and Transport for London (TfL). Significant improvement in the quality of services for passengers 1.2 Further devolution of inner suburban rail services within London will deliver significant economic, financial and customer benefits by 2020 through: More reliable and better services for passengers, delivered through a concession contracting model where the provider of train services focuses purely on reliability and customer satisfaction TfL’s proven ability to work with Network Rail sharing resources between them and London Underground Seamless and integrated fares, ticketing, branding and information for passengers across public transport services in London, which not only encourages more people to use public transport, but also reduces fare evasion A greater ability to plan and deliver the cost effective provision of public transport and associated projects across all local services, including buses, walking and cycling 1.3 Taken together, one impact will be to generate additional demand and revenue. On the recently devolved West Anglia services this has increased 27 per cent since devolution in May 2015. TfL expects an increase of 14 per cent in southeast London. The additional revenue can itself be re-invested in service enhancements 1.4 The package has a quantified benefit cost ratio of 4.3 : 1, based on railway passenger benefits, which shows that this offers high value for money.

  • ECB Yorkshire South Premier League Newsletter
    ECB Yorkshire South Premier League www.yspl.co.uk Newsletter – 6 July 2017 Last weekend On Saturday, the top-of-the table game resulted in a 29-run win for Sheffield Collegiate at Whitley Hall; the visitors leap-frogging their opponents to move six points clear at the top of the table. Man-of-the-match Azeem Rafiq proved the difference between the sides, rescuing the visitors from 24-3 with a fine 103, and then taking 3-45 in 15 overs to put the brake on the home side’s response. After ending Neil Longhurst’s resistance, Josh Varley completed the job for the visitors with 5-37. Wakefield Thornes’ crushing win over Wickersley left them just 16 points behind the leaders and these three look destined to fight it out for the title. Hallam took advantage of Treeton’s slip-up at home to Cleethorpes to move up to fourth with a comfortable win over Sheffield & Phoenix; whilst Barnsley slipped into the bottom two after losing out to Appleby Frodingham in a very tight finish at Brumby Hall. On Sunday, the Rudgate Brewery trophy brought disappointment for Sheffield Collegiate and Treeton, who both lost out against Yorkshire League North opposition. Our sole representative in the semi-finals, and the first YSPL side to reach that stage, will be Wickersley, who beat Appleby Frodingham in a low-scoring game at Brumby Hall.
