  • HT Newsletter February 2018
    Diocese of Portsmouth ST EDMUND’S CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL Radley Road, Abingdon, Oxfordshire OX14 3PP Tel: 01235 521558 Fax: 01235 532778 e-mail: [email protected] www.st-edmunds-rc.oxon.sch.uk Headteacher: Mrs M Delany-White 23rd February 2018. Dear Parents, Lenten Fundraising As Lent has now started we are now planning our Lenten charitable focus for the school. As many of you are aware last year I received the following email from Omar, an ex St Edmund’s pupil: I am a St Edmund’s Catholic Primary School ex-pupil (2004-2011). I am half Sudanese and I made my first visit to Sudan in 2009, when at St Edmund’s. Now, seven years later I am going to Sudan in December, for the second time. Now that I am older and more mature I realise how fortunate I am to have been able to attend two great schools, with great values and a wonderful sense of community. However, Sudan is a country in which there are 3.2 million children between the ages of 6 and 16 who do not get the opportunity to go to school. Therefore, I decided to take the initiative to try and make a difference, and so I am now in contact with one of the most disadvantaged primary schools in Khartoum, which is run by the Catholic Salesian Sisters of Don Bosco. However, the school is in the poorest area of Khartoum and neighbours the Mayo camp, and so it therefore, lacks resources and essential schooling materials such as pencils and exercise books.

  • HANBOROUGH GATE Long Hanborough, Oxfordshire
    HANBOROUGH GATE Long Hanborough, Oxfordshire Made for life. Join our legacy. Since 1927, Pye Homes has always taken the same pride in the homes and communities we have built in Oxfordshire. Although many things have changed in that time, our values have stayed the same, because so much of what was true then is still true today. That way, we know your home is made for life. We always take the same care in how we build, because that care ensures that your home is built to last. It means that everything about your home is perfectly placed, from the moment we lay the foundations, to the moment we open your door to show you around. By combining the best innovations in design and materials which have stood the test of time, we build in harmony with nature and the local legacy, so that new homes simply belong as part of a community, right from the start. It means always giving the same kind of personal care and integrity that our founder Jack Pye would recognise and be proud to acknowledge with his famous handshake. Those values, and that same regard for legacy, has led us to join with Blenheim and to make our commitment to their Legacy Principles. Together we share a desire for progress alongside a deep-rooted sense of place and enduring connection to our neighbours and local communities. Pye Homes. Made for life. 2 3 “Unlike many new developments, Hanborough Gate has been thoughtfully designed with plenty of green spaces and a feeling of openness which was important to us.

  • September 2017
    September 2017 The Curiosity Zone was the first zone of I’m a Researcher, Get me out of here. It was funded by the European Commission under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions, which is an EU funding programme to support research careers. The Zone ran for three weeks, connecting secondary school students in Oxfordshire with 22 researchers from the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University. The aim was to engage students with the wide variety of local researchers and to encourage students to attend to the live final at the Curiosity Carnival on 29th September. Among the researchers online was an archaeologist looking at the DNA in chicken bones to see how ancient people travelled, a sociologist interviewing families about moving to huge cities in China, a psychologist figuring out why people like to take part in rituals, an engineer working out how to stop jet engines melting, and a medical ethics researcher asking whether you own your own body. In total, researchers answered 133 approved questions sent in by students in ASK and, there were 14 live chats with classes. The majority of the students who took part were in Science classes. There were also Geography and Psychology classes who contributed 30% of the total questions in ASK. The majority of the activity took place in the second two weeks, as the start of the event coincided with the first full week of the new academic year for students and teachers. Many of the researchers engaged well, with 18 of the 22 attending a live chat and all of them answering questions in ASK.
