  • General Information for Applicants Facilities Manager the Princethorpe Foundation the Princethorpe Foundation, Which Is Administ
    General information for applicants Facilities Manager The Princethorpe Foundation The Princethorpe Foundation, which is administered by lay trustees, provides co-educational, independent, day schooling in the Catholic tradition for some thirteen hundred children from age two to eighteen years. The senior school, Princethorpe College, (HMC 11 - 18) is about 7 miles from Leamington, Coventry and Rugby, with the junior schools, Crescent (IAPS) about seven miles away in Rugby, and Crackley Hall School (ISA and IAPS) and Little Crackers Nursery about nine miles away in Kenilworth. The Foundation’s schools are characterised by their strong Christian ethos and pride themselves on providing a caring, stimulating environment in which children’s individual needs are met and their talents, confidence and self-esteem are developed. The Schools Princethorpe College opened in 1966 and occupies a fine former Benedictine monastery which was built in the 1830s in 200 acres of parkland. The origins of the school date back to 1957 when the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart opened St Bede’s College in Leamington Spa; the subsequent move to Princethorpe gave an opportunity for expansion. The school became a lay foundation in 2001, when it merged with St Joseph’s School in Kenilworth, resulting in the consolidation of a junior school and nursery on the Kenilworth campus. Crackley Hall is a significant feeder for Princethorpe. In September 2016, The Crescent School, a stand-alone prep school for seventy years in Rugby, also merged with the Princethorpe Foundation. Princethorpe life extends well beyond just exam preparation. The gospel values of love, service, commitment and forgiveness are central to everything which the school does, underscored by the school motto, Christus Regnet – may Christ reign.

The summer weather has not lived up to expectations. Who mentioned climate change? England have continued to make great progress in Test matches but their performances in One Day Internationals still leaves a lot to be desired. The difficult tour to South Africa this winter will be good preparation for next year’s Ashes series. Is the Aussie team growing old together or will they come up with some interesting replacements? Perhaps there are a few playing in the Championship this summer!! At the time of writing Worcester are struggling. After a reasonable start, relegation is on the cards in the Championship, whilst promotion in the Totesport League is in the balance.

What do you enjoy doing outside of school? I am an active member of the School’s Combined Cadet Force, which has given me the opportunity to try things I wouldn’t have been able to otherwise, and taught me new skills. The social aspect is also great fun, as is helping out with D of E as an assessor. I enjoy travel and am looking forward to spending more time doing that when I retire. Family and friends are important to me, and I hope to see more of them once lockdown is fully lifted and we can have proper get togethers again. I enjoy cooking, gardening and photography too, so look forward to having more time to spend on those pastimes as well. Oscar Montgomery What’s your favourite song of all time? Oscar was one of those pupils who come along from time to time and make an indelible and unforgettable impact on our community.

  • Fiestas and Fervor: Religious Life and Catholic Enlightenment in the Diocese of Barcelona, 1766-1775
    FIESTAS AND FERVOR: RELIGIOUS LIFE AND CATHOLIC ENLIGHTENMENT IN THE DIOCESE OF BARCELONA, 1766-1775 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrea J. Smidt, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Dale K. Van Kley, Adviser Professor N. Geoffrey Parker Professor Kenneth J. Andrien ____________________ Adviser History Graduate Program ABSTRACT The Enlightenment, or the "Age of Reason," had a profound impact on eighteenth-century Europe, especially on its religion, producing both outright atheism and powerful movements of religious reform within the Church. The former—culminating in the French Revolution—has attracted many scholars; the latter has been relatively neglected. By looking at "enlightened" attempts to reform popular religious practices in Spain, my project examines the religious fervor of people whose story usually escapes historical attention. "Fiestas and Fervor" reveals the capacity of the Enlightenment to reform the Catholicism of ordinary Spaniards, examining how enlightened or Reform Catholicism affected popular piety in the diocese of Barcelona. This study focuses on the efforts of an exceptional figure of Reform Catholicism and Enlightenment Spain—Josep Climent i Avinent, Bishop of Barcelona from 1766- 1775. The program of “Enlightenment” as sponsored by the Spanish monarchy was one that did not question the Catholic faith and that championed economic progress and the advancement of the sciences, primarily benefiting the elite of Spanish society. In this context, Climent is noteworthy not only because his idea of “Catholic Enlightenment” opposed that sponsored by the Spanish monarchy but also because his was one that implicitly condemned the present hierarchy of the Catholic Church and explicitly ii advocated popular enlightenment and the creation of a more independent “public sphere” in Spain by means of increased literacy and education of the masses.
