CASE STUDY Uppingham School Background Uppingham School is a co-educational independent school situated in the small market town of Uppingham in Rutland. The school was founded in 1584 by Robert Johnson, the Archdeacon of Leicester who also established Oakham School. Uppingham has a tradition of high musical standards and has recently opened a new music school; a fusion of new and old buildings named after the first Director of Music, Paul David. Uppingham School prides itself on blending heritage, forward- thinking, imagination and confidence to nurture young people who have a firm sense of self to achieve great things. Photo: http://www.lumoseducation.fr/schools-guide/uppingham-school-rutland/ The Brief We were asked to manufacture gates as part of alterations to the Thring Wall, which surrounds Uppingham School car park. The new gates needed to allow for smooth traffic flow, complement both the old and new architecture of the school and blend with the surrounding mature trees. The Result Working with Steele & Bray, we created a pair of automated asymmetrical, solid-bronze fabricated gates. Bronze was selected for its excellent corrosion resistance, and its ability to resist friction and wear. Also, bronze bridges the gap between heritage and modern architecture. Its warmth is welcoming, and when the light of the day changes, bronze adds a further colour dimension. The design of the gates created the perception of being backlit, and although they are a barrier to entry, they are still inviting to both visitors and staff. Render: Orms Architects.

2018 12 18 Item 7 Paper 4 Roads & Transport
Uppingham Neighbourhood Plan Review Paper 4: Roads and Transport Introduction In the earlier report (May 2018) two recommendations were made on roads and transport. - Request RCC to undertake traffic studies to inform transport policies, in the NP and for the Local Transport Plan), including potential longer-term routes around sections of the town. - Request RCC and the LEP to fund/undertake a feasibility study for a new means of exit for the Station Road industrial estate. These have been pursued but it has not been possible to obtain commitment at this stage. Understandably, RCC will need to consider the matters through a due process and may be willing to become formally engaged once the NP review is underway. In addition, as described in other papers, the LEP (Greater Cambridge and Peterborough) has become “The Business Board of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority” with a focus on the Cambridge-Milton Keynes-Oxford Corridor proposals. When the picture is clearer on the future LEP alignment of Rutland, the issue of Station Road can be promoted. However, to support the case that can be put to RCC and the LEP, this paper includes a review of the context (based on policy documents and studies) and current data (see Paper 1) and reference to the outcome of discussions with local businesses (See Paper 3). In addition, an informal discussion has been held with RCC Highways Officers. Main Conclusions 1 - The potential Ayston Road to Leicester Road is supported by the findings of the 2010 Strategic Transport Assessment/Feasibility Study and it could be facilitated by development in the preferred locations West and North of Uppingham, referred to in the emerging Local Plan.

The Magnetism of Edward Thring
The Magnetism of Edward Thring An edited version of the talk given to the Uppingham Local History Study Group July 2016 By Malcolm Tozer The Magnetism of Edward Thring Malcolm Tozer Introduction I started teaching at Uppingham 50 years ago, the World Cup summer of 1966; I left in 1989, 27 years ago. Where did all those years go? Raise a hand if you have read Sir George Parkin’s two-volume Life and Letters of Edward Thring from beginning to end. (No hands were raised.) No surprise there; it is hardly a thrilling page-turner. In choosing Parkin as his official biographer, Thring did himself a great disservice. It was written in Canada by a Canadian; it is based on late-night diary entries, Thring’s idiosyncratic publications, and terse correspondence. Parkin carried the lot home; he interviewed no-one; it took 13 years – that’s twice as long as the Chilcot report; and the world had moved on by the time of its publication. It is a lifeless memorial to a life-loving headmaster. Parkin’s Thring could never have created Uppingham. Parkin’s Thring is dour, dry, grumbling, boring, gloomy, frustrated. Where is the Thring who played charades, hosted parties, played leap-frog, built snowmen, danced all evening, played football, wrote fairy tales, acted in plays, taught tennis – and loved his boys? No-one would have been attracted by Parkin’s Thring. But they were. Thring had remarkable powers of persuasion. His magnetism drew influential men and women to work with him. Here’s my 1st XI from the formative years.

Uppingham Methodist Church and Kingswood School 1939 – 1946
THE STORY OF THE TWIN BOARDS UPPINGHAM METHODIST CHURCH AND KINGSWOOD SCHOOL 1939 – 1946 INTRODUCTION At the Trustees Meeting of Uppingham Methodist Church on June 9th 1946, Mrs Norah Stones proposed that: the ‘Address’ presented by Kingswood School should be fixed in the Church porch This was duly accomplished, and the first board shown on the front cover hung in this position until the late 1990s when the refurbishment of the Church began. A small copy now hangs in the Vestry. In 2003, following communication with the Archivist of Kingswood School Bath, it was discovered that the School possessed its’ twin – the second board on the front cover. It is nearly 60 years since these boards were hung, and little attention has been paid to Uppingham’s board in recent years. Any Church members who remembered the events have moved away or died and very little documentation is available. However, the events behind the words are well worth placing on record as a story of faithful service of those who have gone before, and a remarkable account of wartime courage and cooperation. OUTBREAK OF WORLD WAR II A.B. Sackett, Headmaster of Kingswood School in Bath, was informed on Christmas Eve 1938, that in the event of War being declared, the School buildings would be required by the Admiralty. Mr Sackett however was sworn to secrecy and had therefore to search the country for suitable premises without being able to inform his staff or anyone else what was happening. One boy did pick up a rumour, and during the summer holidays told his father, a Methodist Superintendent Minister, to which his father replied ‘Nonsense, laddie.
