Following the Henley Review of Cultural Learning, film is now part of this remit. This report is based on the findings from research carried out early in 2013 in response to a commission from CapeUK. The remit was to map the current film education provision in Yorkshire and the Humber, identifying strengths in the region, gaps in provision and opportunities for development. In addition the report asks how a stronger regional infrastructure, also linked to national initiatives, could be developed to support the expansion of film education for children and young people.

After over twenty five years as postmasters at Kirkheaton Post Office on St Mary’s Lane, Lynn and Michael Whitehouse are preparing to stick their last stamps, weigh their last parcels, close the PO and retire. Fortunately, Kirkheaton is not losing its PO. If all goes to plan it will relocate to the newsagents at the corner of Shop Lane and Town Road in the near future. However, this has caused some concern among residents as parking and pedestrian access are serious issues in the area. But on the plus side it will have two Bumper open counters and will be open for longer hours six and half days a week. Various other venues were considered but have issue! had to be discounted for varying reasons. NCS SUCCESS Michael became postmaster in April 1998 after a career as a mining surveyor. He commented “ When Margaret Thatcher THIRTY YEARS ON! closed down all the pits, my job disappeared, so I did what I always fancied doing - run a PO - which I’ve really enjoyed.” DALTON WARD During his 25 years at the job he has seen many changes. WEEKEND “Business has changed. At one time there were OAP’s queuing out of the door to collect their money on pension days. All that has gone now as pensions are paid directly into bank accounts. The government has also moved many of its services online so many people no longer renew their car tax or buy their TV licences etc at the PO.

We are all aware of the story of Guy Fawkes’ attempt to blow up Parliament, and that the lighting of celebratory November bonfires seems to have started as early as 1605 once the Gunpowder Plot was foiled. However, the earliest effigies on the fire were usually those of the Pope and the Devil, burned on Gunpowder Treason Day, as it used to be known. In 1677, one particularly grisly Pope effigy had its belly filled with live cats which “squalled most hideously as soon as they felt the fire,” which shows that not only was the tradition of Catholic effigy burning by then well-established, but that it was also getting rather out of hand. Indeed, in 1683 bonfires and fireworks were banned as liable to cause civil disruption. The tradition was revived with the accession of William of Orange in 1688, and over the next two centuries November 5th became Guy Fawkes’ Night and the effigies burned were of the traitor himself. So far, so familiar.

  • See the Accessart Stars!
    See the AccessArt Stars! AccessArt thinks we should all be shouting a little bit louder about the good work we all do. For this reason we recently launched the AccessArt Star – a way to highlight and celebrate the work taking place at grassroots level, by individuals, to support visual arts education. If you think YOU deserve a Star, or know someone who you think should have a Star, then please find out more and make your nomination here. Here are the AccessArt Stars so far! Tracy Pilkington I am currently a teaching assistant at Shirland Primary School in Derbyshire, a post which I thoroughly love! Before this I was a graphic designer for 15 years with a small design and print company and have always had a keen interest in promoting creativity. In school I run an after school art club for all our KS2 children where I try to inspire the children I work with to investigate artists, styles, materials and whenever possible use natural and recycled materials to help create their artwork. I am very much a believer that there is no right or wrong way to make art so really try to encourage all that I work with to have a go! I am very proud of my Access Art Gold Star and would like to say a big thank you. http://www.shirland.derbyshire.sch.uk/art-club-our-fantastic-a rtists/ Megan Stallworthy I am a part-time specialist art teacher atSticklepath Community School in Barnstaple.
