  • THANET COUNTRYSIDE TRUST Registered Charity No
    THANET COUNTRYSIDE TRUST Registered charity No. 285972 1971 – Founded 1982 – Charitable Status Conservation and Education Report on Education Activities January – December 2014 This is a summary of the activities that have been undertaken under the ‘education’ strategic aim for the first twelve months of our successful grant application to Nineveh (Jan to Dec 2014). It details the relevant statistical information for the period, and highlights the key issues and difficulties that have been encountered in trying to engage with schools. 1 Relevant Information 1.1 Database of school contacts Now fully complete, this records the school name, contact telephone number, e-mail address and postal address for a total of 241 schools in East Kent, broken down as follows: • Primary (Reception, Infant and Junior Schools): Thanet District = 30; Canterbury = 40; Dover = 34; Swale = 49. • Secondary Schools: Thanet District = 10; Canterbury, Dover and Swale Districts combined = 26. • Independent schools: for all four districts = 40. • Other schools (including ‘special needs’): for all four districts = 12. 1.2 Marketing to schools At c.50% completion of the database, in March and April 2014, all schools for which we then had e-mail addresses (c.120) were contacted via e-mail, providing them with a letter of introduction and a copy of our Informal Guide, stating who we are and what we do. The response to this campaign was disappointingly poor, with only 10 or so schools from a marketing spread of 120 (i.e. c.10% of them) making contact to obtain further information. Of these 10, it has not been possible to determine if this mailing influenced their decision to visit the Monkton Nature Reserve.

    KENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY MARGATE CAVES CLIFTONVILLE © 2009 R. F. LeGear MAAIS AIFA This paper has been downloaded from www.kentarchaeology.ac. The author has placed the paper on the site for download for personal or academic use. Any other use must be cleared with the author of the paper who retains the copyright. Please email [email protected] for details regarding copyright clearance. The Kent Archaeological Society (Registered Charity 223382) welcomes the submission of papers. The details can be downloaded from the website. Introduction The set of chalk caves known as Margate Caves have been a popular tourist attraction since the 1860s when they were first opened to the public as ‘Vortigern’s cavern’. In 2004, the Caves were closed due to Health and Safety issues and access to the site is now prohibited, the long-term future of the Caves being uncertain. This short paper is based on a report prepared for the Heritage Developments Advisor of Thanet District Council by the writer in December 2008. Methodology As the Caves are not currently accessible this report has been prepared primarily from notes made during 1993 when the manager of the Caves at the time, Nikki Martin, planned to remove the accumulated debris that had been deposited down the well and clear out the shafts [or sumps] at the bottom of the so called dungeons. A small party of Kent Underground Research Group members volunteered to undertake these tasks and spent several weekends at the site¹. The writer was invited to attend and used the opportunity to conduct a modern underground survey using standard cave survey techniques [Fig 1].

This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.
