The NSPCC visited the school recently, delivered a presentation to the whole school and then worked with Year 5 and Year 6 children to raise awareness of Childline and how to stay safe and get help if things get tough. The positive response from the children impressed the NSPCC – as did the amount of money they raised. They were full of praise for the school. Pupils also found the event interesting. Erin, from Year 6, said: “I thought the workshop was interesting I enjoyed learning about other people’s situations and how to deal with them.” Jack, also from Year 6, said: “I learnt the number for Childline and how to deal with situations like bullying and how to help my friends if they were in trouble.” 4 www.frodshamlife.co.uk May 2017 Village groups receive community grants FOUR groups who were awarded the parish to undertake projects funding from Kingsley’s first-ever which they could not afford to Community Fund received cheques fund themselves and which would at the monthly meeting of the parish benefit the residents and children council. within the parish of Kingsley.

    John Simm ~ 47 Screen Credits and more The eldest of three children, actor and musician John Ronald Simm was born on 10 July 1970 in Leeds, West Yorkshire and grew up in Nelson, Lancashire. He attended Edge End High School, Nelson followed by Blackpool Drama College at 16 and The Drama Centre, London at 19. He lives in North London with his wife, actress Kate Magowan and their children Ryan, born on 13 August 2001 and Molly, born on 9 February 2007. Simm won the Best Actor award at the Valencia Film Festival for his film debut in Boston Kickout (1995) and has been twice BAFTA nominated (to date) for Life On Mars (2006) and Exile (2011). He supports Man U, is "a Beatles nut" and owns seven guitars. John Simm quotes I think I can be closed in. I can close this outer shell, cut myself off and be quite cold. I can cut other people off if I need to. I don't think I'm angry, though. Maybe my wife would disagree. I love Manchester. I always have, ever since I was a kid, and I go back as much as I can. Manchester's my spiritual home. I've been in London for 22 years now but Manchester's the only other place ... in the country that I could live. You never undertake a project because you think other people will like it - because that way lies madness - but rather because you believe in it. Twitter has restored my faith in humanity. I thought I'd hate it, but while there are lots of knobheads, there are even more lovely people.

  • A Supporter of The
    SUPPORTERS NEWS NOVEMBER 2015 2016 A PROUD YEAR TO BE A SUPPORTER OF THE RSC “I think we are going to be very proud of the reopening of The Other Place and the Swan Wing, when they open to the public next year”. On a recent visit to our two building projects I was amazed by the progress being made and wanted to share with our Supporters the excitement of the work taking place. The two workplaces have completely different energies, each one appropriate to the project. The beehive at TOP hums with noise as dozens of workmen busy themselves, tearing holes for new windows in the outside walls, or punching holes for roof lights in the ceiling. The innovative recycling efforts, and the industrious repurposing of the old rusty box that was the Courtyard Theatre, is zooming towards its conclusion. Meanwhile the work process at the Swan Wing is altogether quieter, and more intensely detailed, focused as it is on the challenges of restoring the fabric of a building which has stood by the Avon for nearly 135 years. The Swan Theatre Photo by Stewart Hemley The Swan Wing masonry has all been cleared in a careful sequence, using differently techniques and has revealed again the three terracotta plaques that grace the front of the Swan. The oriel bay window which usually over looks Weston square, now reveals fairy sculptures that peer beneath the window. A perky imp sheltering under a large anemone, and a demonic little goblin sits cross legged in a corner stretching his bat wings. All over the exterior of the building, piece in repairs, mortar repairs, discreet pinning and lime consolidation have all been undertaken to restore the fragile carved and plain stone surfaces.

Other con- texts for Marlowe include history and politics, religion, and science.

  • The Impact of Thatcherism on Representations of Work And
    The Impact of Thatcherism on Representations of Work and Unemployment in Television Drama from 1979 to 1994 by Helen Louise Davis Institute of Education University of London June 1999 Submitted for Examination for Degree of PhD 1 Abstract This thesis argues for an analysis of popular television in relation to the dominant political ideas and values of Thatcherism. Examining the power of popular entertainment genres to inscribe and inform public understanding of political debates, the thesis offers an analysis of television realism in relation to genres such as situation comedy and drama serials. Using the work of Antonio Gramsci, Stuart Hall, Michel Foucault, Roland Barthes and the Bakhtin Circle, the methodology concentrates on a discursive model of interpretation which draws on elements of semiotic and discourse analysis. It refers to the field of hermeneutics in order to address some of the problems of textual analysis and considers the ontological problems of television realism, particularly as they relate to the representation of political ideas. The thesis also considers the role of realism as an important ideological feature of dramatic representation on television. The contribution of the thesis to the field of Media Studies lies in its engagement with the sphere of political discourse in relation to popular television programmes over a specific period of intense ideological activity. In choosing to examine Thatcherite discourse in relation to work and unemployment, the thesis considers issues of class and gender in relation to changing attitudes to unemployment as expressed through narrative and other discursive patterns in the medium of television drama. The thesis argues that television drama of the period responded to the dominant rhetoric of Thatcherite politics concerning work and unemployment with a variety of identifiable structures and dramatic strategies.
