  • George Bodington 1799-1882
    Dr George Bodington 1799-1882 A Victorian physician ahead of his times Pioneer in treating Tuberculosis Provided humane and positive care for those with Mental Illness Twice Warden of Sutton Coldfield Andrew MacFarlane Chapter One INTRODUCTION Overview TB is one of the worst of all diseases to have afflicted humanity. At least 20% of the English population died after contracting TB in the early Nineteenth Century. Very few sufferers expected anything but a hopeless decline. Although the disease was known from prehistoric times, the accepted medical treatments, developed over many hundreds of years, were harsh, unpleasant and rarely successful. They also weakened the bodily strength needed to resist its advances (1) In 1840, George Bodington, a relatively unknown general practitioner from Sutton Coldfield, startled the medical world by publishing an Essay claiming dramatic success in treating patients with TB. He described methods that differed sharply from conventional treatments. Today, Bodington’s Essay has a very special mention in the history of medicine. He was the first recorded physician to use the “fresh air” or “sanatorium method” to treat TB patients. At the time, most critics greeted Bodington’s Essay with scorn. He was so stunned by harsh and humiliating reviews that he eventually gave up treating patients with TB and also retreated from general medical practice. In later life, he did gain some satisfaction from knowing that his ideas and treatment strategies for combatting TB were being accepted and practised. By the 1860s, other pioneering physicians began to adopt the “sanatorium” method, which became the accepted means of treating patients with TB, until the discovery of antibiotics.

  • Primary Schools
    Appendix 2a Proposed Published Admission Numbers - September 2019 Birmingham City Council (the local authority) is the admissions authority for community and voluntary controlled schools in Birmingham. This document is a record of proposed Published Admission Numbers (PANs) for these schools. A PAN figure for a school does not include places reserved for pupils with a statement of Special Educational Needs (SEN) or an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Reserved places are admitted in addition to the PAN. Admission to these reserved places is coordinated through a referral process by the Birmingham City Council Special Educational Needs, Assessment and Review service (SENAR). For a full list of schools offering Resource Base provision please see: Schools with Resource Bases for SEN . Due to the continued changes in Birmingham’s school population as a result of fluctuating birth rates and increased levels of cohort growth, we continue to engage with a number of schools throughout the year to discuss proposed changes to PANs. Any proposed changes to admission numbers or creation of Resource Base places are consulted on as required in accordance with due guidance.

  • George Bodington 1799-1882
    Dr George Bodington 1799-1882 A Victorian physician ahead of his times Pioneer in treating Tuberculosis Gave humane and positive care to those with Mental Illness Twice Warden of Sutton Coldfield Andrew MacFarlane Chapter One BODINGTON THE PHYSICIAN Introduction Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the worst of all diseases to have afflicted humanity. At least 20% of the English population died after contracting TB in the early Nineteenth Century. Very few sufferers expected anything but a hopeless decline. Although the disease was known from prehistoric times, the accepted medical treatments, developed over many hundreds of years, were harsh, unpleasant and rarely successful. They also weakened the bodily strength needed to resist its advances. (1) George Bodington’s international reputation as a physician is based upon his pioneering treatment of patients suffering from TB (Pulmonary Consumption), described his classic Essay written in 1840. It is unfortunate that medical historians have largely ignored other very significant aspects of his life and work. Typical is a comment by Richard Cyriax, who was a TB Treatment Officer in Warwick and Coventry. In a very well researched and informative article about Bodington’s treatment of TB, Cyriax ended with the comment that “little needs to be said of the remainder of Bodington’s life after 1840.” (2) This statement was quite wrong, but it reflects a commonly held view that Bodington’s later career does not merit investigation. Even his 1882 Obituary gives only a passing reference to his long career caring for mentally ill patients. (3) For thirty years, Bodington worked with compassion and ingenuity, treating patients in his Driffold House Lunatic Asylum.

  • Freedom of Information Act 2000
    Our ref: 2584033 17 September 2018 David Honey ??? Account reference:[email protected] Freedom of Information Act 2000 Dear Sir I can confirm that the information requested is held by Birmingham City Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you. Request I am writing to make a request for the school spend for all primary schools with a Birmingham postcode for academic year September 2017 - July 2018. Response The following figures represent the actual Gross expenditure for the period September 17 to August 18 as requested. It doesn’t reflect the actual published accounts of Birmingham City Council which run on a financial year ending this year in March 2018. The figures therefore do not take account of any accruals for that period of time as BCC do not report on an Academic year and are just the figures in the BCC ledger for the period requested. Information is only available for Birmingham LA schools only. We don’t have other Authority information who have Birmingham post codes such as Solihull. We don’t have any Academy/Free schools financial expenditure. Please contact individual organisations directly.

  • Admissions Arrangments
    DETERMINED ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS FOR COMMUNITY AND VOLUNTARY CONTROLLED SCHOOLS FOR 2022 / 2023 ACADEMIC YEAR FOR THE YEAR OF ENTRY AND IN-YEAR ADMISSIONS 1. Birmingham Local Authority (community and voluntary controlled infant, primary and secondary schools) over-subscription criteria 1.1. Any child with an Education, Health and Care Plan is required to be admitted to the school that is named in the plan. This gives such children overall priority for admission to the named school. This is not an oversubscription criterion. The local authority is the admission authority for community and voluntary controlled schools. Children are admitted to schools in accordance with parental preference as far as possible. However, where there are more applications than there are places available, places at community and voluntary controlled schools will be offered based on the following order of priority except those schools set out in paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 below. 1.2. Looked after children or children who were previously looked after (including previously looked after children from outside of England). 1.3. Children with a brother or sister already at the school who will still be in attendance at the time the child enters the school, excluding those children attending nursery, in year 6 or attending a sixth form. 1.4. In the case of Voluntary Controlled Church of England primary schools, children whose parents have made applications on denominational grounds. This will be confirmed by a letter from the Vicar / Minister of the relevant Church. Details of schools that use denominational criteria can be viewed at section 6.

  • Three Hundred Years
    THREE HUNDRED YEARS OF A FAMILY LIVING, BEING A HISTORY OF THE RII.1ANDS OF SU1'TON Col,DFIELD. BY THE REV. W. K. RILAND BEDFORD, M.A. BIRMINGHAM: CORNISH BROTHERS. 1889. PREF ACE. "Brief let n1e be." It is only the necessity of stating plainly and candidly that the idea of placing family records before the public would never have occurred to the compiler of this book, had not the curiosity evinced by friends and neighbours led hi1n to conclude that a selection from the letters which lay before hi1n might have its use in gratifying the laudable interest now so generally felt in local history and tradition : it is this alone which makes a preface excusable. The greater part of these letters are comprised in the latter half of the last century and the comn1ence1nent of the present, but the predecessors and the successors of the re1narkable family group of the Rilands of Sutton are not unworthy of record for their own sakes, as well as in their relation to the Levitical race, four of whom, fron1 1688 to 1822, were rectors as well as patrons of the "family living."
