  • Headlines by Rachel Mcgowan Mobile Phone Protocol Mobile Phones Are, to Many People, an Essential Feature of Everyday Life. in L
    Issue 90 Working together to promote & celebrate achievement Friday 8th February 2019 Name & Tutor Group: Headlines by Rachel McGowan Mobile Phone Protocol Mobile phones are, to many people, an essential feature of everyday life. In light of the recent media attention about mobile phones in schools I wish to reiterate what has been Plashet School policy for over six years. I am aware that many parents want their daughter to have a phone on their journey to and from school to help ensure her safety. Within school students are safe and are able to contact home should they need to through reception. Similarly, parents/guardians can send messages to students by telephoning the school. Whilst on school site students are not allowed to use their mobile phones or have them visible at any time. This rule is in place to ensure that students concentrate entirely on their studies and, in unstructured time, they are not engaged in activities with a mobile phone that could put them or others at risk and they instead spend their break and lunchtimes talking rather than looking at a screen. If a student is seen using a mobile phone on school premises it will be confiscated and held in school for three working days. A letter will be sent home alerting parents/guardians of the confiscation. The confiscated mobile phone will be returned to the student’s parent or guardian after three days. If a parent wishes their daughter to have a mobile phone for the journey to and from school, the phone remains the responsibility of that student and the school does not accept any liability for any mobile phone lost or stolen in school whilst in the child’s possession.

  • The Industrial and Community Heritage of Silvertown and North Woolwich Introduction
    The industrial and community heritage of Silvertown and North Woolwich Introduction The Islanders is a project that aims to preserve the industrial and community heritage of Silvertown and North Woolwich. It is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the Royal Docks Team. Volunteers and local participants have contributed significantly to the project. Thames Festival Trust thanks Newham Archives (The Islanders’ Heritage Partner), London Metropolitan Archives and Eastside Community Heritage. In the nineteenth century, London’s eastern boundary was at Bow Creek, where its noxious industries began to congregate. From shipbuilding, to silver, iron, oils, soap, rubber and manure, London’s industry was developing on the fringes of the city. By the completion of the Albert Dock in 1880, Silvertown and North Woolwich had effectively become an ‘island’. It was bordered by the Thames to the south, and by the Royal Docks and its lock entrances to the north, east and west, the only way in or out was by bridge, ferry or tunnel.

September 2021 Left: Goad Fire Insurance Plan, May 1900 (The British Library) 3 The origins Prior to the nineteenth century, Silvertown and North Woolwich was an uninhabited marshland called Plaistow Level used for grazing cattle, and frequented by smugglers, prize fighters, and high tide flooding, sat between Bow Creek and Gallions Reach. In the 1840s, the area was sold cheaply at an ‘agricultural price’ to a consortium of developers.
