  • The-History-Of-The-Minster-School PDF File Download
    The History of the Minster School I. Introduction The present Southwell Minster School came into being in September 1976 as an 11-18, co- educational comprehensive. One of its "ancestors" was a grammar school, established in the Middle Ages. No precise date can be given to the grammar school's foundation. It was always a small school - on a number of occasions in danger of ceasing to exist. It did not develop a reputation for producing pupils who became household names, nor did it set any trends in education. Yet, through descent from the Grammar School, the Minster School is part of a line of development which may go back further than that represented by any other English school now outside the private sector. And, precisely because the Grammar School, and the other ancestors of the modern comprehensive, were not too much out of the ordinary, their story is the more important. II. The Grammar School 1. The Origins of the Grammar School The earliest schools were linked to a monastery, cathedral or other large church, such as the Minster at Southwell. Such "grammar" schools were at first very small - made up of perhaps less than twenty boys. Pupils probably started to attend between the ages of nine and twelve. Southwell's grammar school may have been created at the same time as its Minster - to provide education for Minster choristers. The Minster is thought to have been founded soon after the Saxon King Edwy gave lands in Southwell to Oscetel, Archbishop of York, in a charter dating from between 955 and 959.

  • Reservoirs of Hope Full Report
    FULL PRACTITIONER ENQUIRY REPORT SPRING 2003 Reservoirs of Hope: Spiritual and moral leadership in headteachers How headteachers sustain their schools and themselves through spiritual and moral leadership based on hope. Alan Flintham, Headteacher, Quarrydale School, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire Contents Introduction 3 Summary of findings 6 Main findings: 8 1. The foundations of the reservoir: spiritual and moral bases of headship 8 2. Reservoirs of hope: towards a metaphor for spiritual and moral leadership 11 3. Replenishing the reservoirs: sustainability strategies in headship 15 4. Testing the reservoirs: the response to critical incidents 21 5. Developing the reservoirs: the growth of capacity 25 6. Building new reservoirs: the transference of capacity 29 Methodology 36 Acknowledgements 39 Bibliography 40 National College for School Leadership 2 Introduction The research concept “The starting point is not policy, it’s hope. Because from hope comes change” (Tony Blair, 2002) This research study seeks to test this statement against the leadership stories of 25 serving headteachers drawn from a cross-section of school contexts, phases and geographical locations within England. It is based on the premise that a school cannot move forward without a clear vision of where its leaders want it to reach. Without such a vision, clearly articulated, it remains static at best or at worst regresses, for ‘without vision the people perish’. ‘Hope’ is what drives the institution forward towards achieving its vision, whilst allowing it to remain true to its values whatever the external pressures. The successful headteacher, through acting as the wellspring of values and vision for the school thus acts as the external ‘reservoir of hope’ for the institution.
