    INSPIRE ACHIEVE SUCCEED Page 4 Page 8 Page 14 Page 28 April 2019 Volume 10 Issue 4 Mr P Adams Hello again, Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate my Deputy, Dr Jane Tinker, who has been appointed as headteacher of the school from September 2019. I‟m sure she will be a great success and I know she is looking forward to the new challenges in September with the aim of delivering the very best education and experience of school for the students that we have in our care. I do hope you saw my e-mail regarding the Shropshire Council Local Bus Service Consultation, proposing a reduction from a 1 to 2 hourly service as well as the removal of the peak journey service to Oswestry in the morning. This has already caused great consternation in many more rural parts of the county. The 576 service that runs from Shrewsbury to Oswestry via Bomere Heath, Walford, Baschurch and Ruyton XI Towns is going to be particularly hit. Under the proposal the early morning bus that goes from Shrewsbury to Oswestry will be cut. This will make it very difficult for students to travel to Oswestry for post 16 study or to undertake apprenticeships. The bus service between Baschurch and Shrewsbury will become once every two hours and not once an hour as it is now. This will affect young people who travel to Shrewsbury for college and work. The cuts will also have an effect on the elderly who rely on the bus. I find it hard to understand when Shropshire Council is keen to see increased housing development in Baschurch and other local villages that they are then seeking to reduce the bus service.

Proceedings of the Shropshire Geological Society , 15, 28–43. Randall is best known as a Shropshire historian, of especially the Madeley area. He earned his living as a china painter (one of the best at Coalport - which brought him into contact with local raw materials - which he described in his Clay Industries book of 1877), then printer, postmaster and local councillor.

E-mail: [email protected] RANDALL’S CAREER AS AUTHOR Randall's career as an author started in 1850 with the Worcester Literary and Scientific Institution (hereafter WLSI) of 1829. This had grown out of an earlier WL and Philosophical Society of 1821 1, after it had opened its Worcester Athenaeum, also founded in January 1829, on the model of a Mechanics Institute. Their building was a gift from William Laslett, erected in 1834 2, and it lay behind the equally new Museum of Natural History in Foregate Street; being approached by way of the 'Athenaeum Court'. The building contained a lecture hall, 40 ft by 28 ft, which being lit from above, was used for exhibitions of paintings. There were a library, reading rooms, and rooms where evening classes in music, French, Figure 1.

    Ellesmerenews Shropshire Champions Page 13 Exam Success History Essay Prize Hockey Call Up Page 3 Page 10 Page 15 Ellesmere College Newsletter Autumn Term 2014 Another Great Year of Exam Results Another Great Year of Exam Results GSCE Results Celebrations he first results of the summer were those of the International TBaccalaureate Diploma, where our students’ average overall score equated to three A grades at A Level. As a challenging alternative to A Levels the IB requires students to study six subjects, a course in the Theory of Knowledge, and produce a university standard Extended Essay as part of their assessment. Universities around the world value the course as an excellent preparation, so much so that the pass level of 24 points is given the equivalent value of BCC grades at A Level. In fact 57% of Ellesmere students achieved the higher level Diploma by gaining more than 30 points, which is equivalent to 3 A* grades at A Level. In August our A Level students were also celebrating with a 97% pass rate including quite a number of outstanding performances. Despite a consensus amongst schools nationwide that marking standards had been set much higher, 50% of all grades awarded to Ellesmere students were in the top A*/B grades, with the girls notching up 60% of grades in the top A*/B Whilst heartfelt congratulations go to all students there were several particularly notable performances that are worthy of specific mention. The supply of medics each year remains constant with Emily Palmer (Shrewsbury), Head Girl, achieving A* and A grades to read Medicine at Birmingham and finding time to do the Extended Project and securing an A* in that too.

It was emphasised that an alcohol licence will be needed if alcohol is to be served. Concern was expressed re booking stalls at short notice. Arrangements would also need to be considered re litter and use of the pavilion toilets; it was noted that the toilets are not in ideal condition and portaloos were suggested.
