Since then Design and Technology teachers, volunteers and a small number of pupils at Tapton School Academy Trust, have been busy making PPE for Key Care Workers. As well as making a request to suppliers to donate polypropylene sheets, clear acetate, polycarbonate and PVC, the Trust has also made an appeal for crowdfunding donations via the virgin money giving website; with over £6500 kindly donated so far. In addition to the Academy’s Design and Technology teams making and delivering in excess of 1000 face shields to one of our local hospitals, Tapton has produced over 30 sets of scrubs with hand drawn Thank You notes, made by key worker’s children, thanking frontline staff for all they are doing in the fight against the coronavirus. A recent posting on the school news website from Trust CEO David Dennis said:- “I think this is a brilliant initiative from our teams and use of the expertise and resource of our schools. Thank you to all staff involved and all our communities who are supporting in contributing to the effort to support front line staff". Thank you to the staff, pupils and volunteers at Tapton who have contributed, they have been amazing. School Term Cut Short As the Coronavirus took the country into unparalleled times, and the closure of schools brought the school term to an abrupt end for the majority of children, a loud groan was heard from the children at King Edwards lower school as they were told the news by Assistant Head Cath Jackson at her final assembly. After the dismay of students having their lives turned upside down overnight. The Students worry now, is that after months studying and coursework and all GCSE, “A” and “AS” level examinations being cancelled, how it would affect their future prospects, college and university assessments . Students who were due to sit GCSE, “A” and “AS” level exams this summer will receive a calculated grade. The calculated grade process will take into account a range of evidence including; non-exam assessment and mock examination results. To ensure that grades are fair between schools and colleges, exam boards will put all central assess- ment grades through a process of standardisation, using a model developed with Ofqual, the inde- pendent qualifications regulator, whose overriding aim is to make sure arrangements are as fair as possible for all students. To enable students to progression to higher and further education in the normal way, results will be published as originally planned; “A” and “AS” levels on 13th August and GCSE results on 20th August. This will also allow students time to decide whether they wish to sit exams in the autumn, and to pre- pare for those exams if necessary. Good luck to all children at our local school. Page 4 Crosspool Clarion Glimpses of past epidemics 1666 - Mineral spring-water of “great repute” was obtained “from Fullwood Spaw in the tyme that the sickness was att Eam [Eyam]” - but after the Plague years the site was all but forgotten as a clean water source - even when Sheffield was ravaged by waterborne diseases like cholera. 1737 - Dr Thomas Short of Sheffield reported: September full of great Changes; hence that sudden and general Catarrh in October; succeeded in the latter End of the Month, and all November, by a fatal Diarrhoea among the Poor. This visitation of cholera continued until December 5th, when he spied an auspicious meteor which "restored general health, till the next epidemic." 1832 - the first stone of a new Cutler’s Hall was laid by John Blake of Upperthorpe - only for a new chol- era outbreak to cut short his run as Master Cutler. The first victim was interred in haste at St. George’s Church, late at night: We lament to state that a fatal case of Cholera...has occurred in this town. The patient was a tailor, named Foster, who had recently left Thorne. (Sheffield Courant) Clothing was thought to spread the contagion, and just as folk histories of the Plague at Eyam blamed George Viccars, tailor, for handling contaminated clothes in 1665, it was no surprise that the entry of chol- era to Sheffield was imputed to a tailor. A Public Dispensary opened on Tudor Place, where Dr Charles Fox Favell tried mercury, mustard, potash and poultices, bleeding, brandy and “blisters to the spine” to no avail. He even applied Galvanic current to two patients, who were, in his words, “discharged cured”. 1837 - John Acton, Union Street druggist, noted in his diary: I have not had such a brisk physic trade for years. Nearly every house in Sheffield is visited with Influenza....Every newspaper I look into has a remedy in it. 1842 - Mary Hutton, working-class poet of Cotton Mill Row, saw the unequal impact of epidemics ('when pestilential vengeance sternly swept its thousands to the grave') and the higher death-toll among the poor. When a bereaved mother applied to the Parish Overseer for the burial costs of her child - and was told to sell the body to the surgeons - Mary imagined a better world: No baneful workhouses were there; The rich were not alone protected; Nor yet the poor sold and dissected..

  • Are You Looking for Something Fun and Exciting to Do Over the Spring Half Term Holidays?
    Spring 2018 Easter 2015 Are you looking for something fun and exciting to do over the Spring half term holidays? There are lots of fun and exciting activities taking place outside of normal school hours in different places across Sheffield and beyond where children and young people can collect learning credits. These credits will be added to the ones some children collect in some schools to earn Children’s University Awards. To collect these credits, they need a Passport to Learning. These are available to purchase at Sheffield libraries and some Learning Destinations. Remember, the credits lead to a series of 30 special award certificates and badges. …and at those intervals up to 1000 hours! Do you have your Children’s University Passport to Learning yet? If the answer is yes, then that’s great news! BUT, to make sure you are awarded the credits you have earned, the Learning Destinations in Sheffield MUST put your details on a register AND send that register into us! If they don’t, we won’t know where you have visited and can’t award your credits. It might be that their staff are really busy and they’ve forgotten, or they might be new to the organisation and have simply forgotten that we need the register. So, every time you visit a SHEFFIELD Learning Destination, remind them to keep a register AND send it into us! Remember, if there’s no register, it means no credits! They can always contact us for help and we can visit them to explain the process if we need to.

Held in high regard, and a valued member of the community, Malcolm was a prominent member of the trustees committee for many years, and very much involved in making sure that we are still able to benefit from the very much appreciated Sports facilities at Coldwell Lane . “It is a great pleasure to know that the Crosspool community is thriving and has such an active spirit. As I stand here my mind goes back to the time, over 50 years ago now, when the idea was born to buy a field Malcolm Clements for the use of the children of this area- an open space for sport and recreation among the buildings going up. Prime movers in this project were Ron Peck, Head Teacher at Lydgate School, Dr Marjorie Rushbrook of Manchester Road Surgery, Revd. Alan Jockel, Vicar of St. Columba’s and Revd. Norman Webb, Minister of Stephen Hill. Because I was the Youth Council Secretary of Stephen Hill at that time they invited me on to the Committee and, when the Trust was formed, to be one of the first Trustees of the Crosspool and District Sports Trust with them. I worked with the Trust for over 20 years. Within a year or two the money, £6500 was raised to buy this field from St.
