London 1948 3 Headteacher’s thoughts ......... No Room for Complacency As always we are never short of anything to write, be it in ‘High Performance’ or ‘High News’: 2012 students and 260 staff with lots to say, lots to celebrate. This edition is no exception: without apology the emphasis is on the Olympics with the values and inspiration we will gain from their being the legacy that will go on long beyond the actual games themselves. We have just completed our new School Improvement Plan (SIP) which will frame the school’s WOW development and improvement over the next three years. Steve Munby, Chief Executive of the National College for School Leadership, recently commented ‘These are interesting times and the educational landscape is shifting. We must continue to debate the fundamental issues and, in doing so, constantly challenge ourselves to ensure that every school gives children the best possible start in life’ (Times Educational Supplement March 2012). He’s right but all new governments get bogged down in lists of operational and functional changes, thinking that this will make the difference without remembering that the characteristics that make successful schools have changed little over the last 30 years: The Specialist Schools and Academies Trust summarised these, as others have done before, in a list in 2010: . Strong leadership and an emphasis on the school’s future direction and improvement . Development of life skills: values, responsibility, respect . Strong and positive engagement with students: clear expectations . ‘Outstanding’ teaching supporting students to develop their skills for lifelong learning . A continual focus on improving the quality of teaching: enabling teachers to learn too . Use of data for school and individual improvement . An emphasis on specialism: the school as a centre of excellence to promote achievement . Effective links between school and parents: families informed and engaged . An excellent range of extra-curricular activities lifting aspiration, pride and success . Partnerships with other schools, local businesses and the wider community . Awareness of global citizenship and an understanding of diversity and sustainability At Wilmslow High School this is the list that comes first and it is very evident in our new SIP: we are confident that we lead on education and manage the organisation. Despite an ‘outstanding’ Ofsted (April 2011) we are never complacent, we always aim to improve and there is much to do. We have a vibrant, well qualified, specialist staff that is determined to provide the best for the students at Wilmslow High. Despite the ‘interesting times’ we will continue to design a curriculum that meets the needs of all our students; we will continue to enable our teachers to engage students through innovative and creative teaching and learning; we will continue to offer students an endless list of opportunities and we will remain accountable to those who matter, our students, parents, governors and the community. Education is a privilege, a career in education is an honour and successful schools stay focused on the delivery of an ‘outstanding’ education for the young people in its care. There is much resonance between the Olympic and Paralympic values and those of Wilmslow High School: I am sure as you read this edition of ‘High Performance’ you will see evidence of ‘Friendship, Respect, Excellence, Determination, Inspiration, Courage and Equality’. Happy reading! ‘Be very strong and be very methodical in your life if you want to be a champion.’ 4 Montreal 1976 Alberto Juantorena Cuban athlete. Get ready for 2012........

Mrs Finemore-Lunn, Year 13 Student Manager and co-organiser of the Opportunities Fair said, “This year’s Fair had a real buzz; it was very pleasing to see the Sports Hall full of students excited at the prospect of getting involved with such a wide variety of activities.

  • I Was So Much Older Then, I Am Younger Than That
    MONDAY MULLIGAN "I WAS SO MUCH OLDER THEN, I’M YOUNGER THAN THAT NOW" By Ron Sirak • @ronsirak Sept. 19, 2016 Anyone old enough to remember the ‘60s, or curious enough to study history, especially that of music, will recognize those words as the work of Bob Dylan from his 1964 song My Back Pages. What he was saying was that he used to live in a world of limitations created by over-simplified ideas. But as he got older he came to appreciate the unlimited possibilities of imagination. We may be on the verge of re-imagining what is possible in golf. Recently, Jim Furyk shot the first 58 on the PGA Tour. And over the weekend, In Gee Chun broke the major-championship scoring record in relation to par for men and women at Evian by finishing at 21 under par. Are they the Roger Bannister of golf? After the Englishman broke the 4-minute mile in 1954 the floodgates in running opened. The unbreakable barrier was broken again and again and now the world record is 3 minutes and 43 seconds. Will we now see scoring records in golf go lower and lower? My friends Lynn Marriott and Pia Nilsson teach VISION54. That’s the peak- performance approach to the game that makes the goal not a par on every hole, but a birdie – a 54 on a par-72 course. It’s all about imagining the impossible and making it your reality. Furyk and Chun have redefined what’s possible. One of the many things I love about sports is that it speeds up the time frame of human existence and tears down the walls restricting imagination.

  • Our Part in Four-Minute Mile History
    Our part in four-minute mile history Bruce McAvaney addressed a dinner in Melbourne recently, to commemorate Australian John Landy's first sub-four-minute mile and world record, run 50 years ago, six weeks after Roger Bannister first went under four. This is the transcript of his speech. "Here is the result of event No.9, the one mile: No. 41, R G Bannister, of the Amateur Athletic Association and formerly of Exeter and Merton Colleges, with a time that is a new meeting and track record, and which, subject to ratification, with be a new English native, British National, British all-comers, European, British Empire and World Record. The time is 3…." That's arguably the most famous cue, let alone understated announcement in athletics history…3 Minutes, 59.4 seconds! He was a formidable character, the announcer. Norris McWhirter died earlier this year, unfortunately just before the 50th anniversary of the first sub-four minute mile. McWhirter apparently had rehearsed assiduously the night before, in his bath, and it was through him that the BBC, the newsreel camera and most of the print media were present that day. McWhirter, and his twin Ross, who was gunned down in 1975 by the IRA, were joint founders and editors of the Guinness Book of Records. McWhirter had a sense of humour. Here in Melbourne at the 1956 Olympics, he told the story of a middle-aged Australian woman who, observing distressing scenes at the finish of the marathon exclaimed, "Cripes, how many qualify for the final?"… Back to Bannister, and the race: is it the sport's finest achievement? How does the 3.59.4 stack up with other athletic landmarks? Classics such as our own Ron Clarke's 27:39.4 in Oslo in 1965, a 35 second improvement on the previous mark.

SANDBACH ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT Vince Devine & Jo Clark 1. SUMMARY Although the manor was recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086, very little is known about Sandbach during the early medieval period. However, the survival of elaborate pre-Viking sculpture, in the form of crosses and grave slabs, indicates that Sandbach was an important religious centre during this period. By the late 16th century the town was granted the rights to hold a market and two fairs, all of which have continued into the present century. During the 19th century, a silk and shoe industry were established, and their commercial success was a significant factor in the growth of the town.
