In January three antipodean Gap students arrived in the form of Caitriona Cotter, Sam McKelvey and Laura Morton, TERRY LOWRY and they have been a lively presence ever since. As the year progressed there were new arrivals in the Davies and Thomas families, for which we offer them all our warmest congratulations. Marie Thomas has now decided to take a break from teaching, whilst her young son progresses and we wish her well for now, in the full expectation that such an innovative and enthusiastic teacher will return to the profession before too long. The end of the summer term also brought a number of other departures. These included Neil Price, who has been Head of Lower School for six years. Neil is a man of great energy and enthusiasm and these qualities have had a massive impact at Ellesmere. He loves sport and has fostered the success of Lower School teams tirelessly. For the Common Room he has been a stalwart of most sports teams that we run and I know that it gave him particular pleasure to open the batting for the Ravens this summer in their first ever victory over the First XI cricket team in the annual 20 over match. We wish him and his family success and happiness in Warwickshire, where Neil has become Headmaster of Bablake Preparatory School. Martin Digby OE returned to us for all too brief a period Terry joined Ellesmere College in 1993 following 30 years in the as Housemaster of St John’s for its first three years. A Armed Forces.

During the year Terry Lowry retired as Bursar and we are very pleased that he and Sheila are living in the area and we hope to see much of them in the future.

  • 2008 Year 11 School Leavers Going Into Higher Education in 2010
    Tracking Progression: 2008 Year 11 school leavers going into Higher Education in 2010 Staffordshire & Stoke-on-Trent March 2011 Introduction Analysis of entry to Higher Education (HE) by Local Authority, district and mainstream, maintained high school This report shows the proportion of all 2008 Year 11 high school students who went on to enter Higher Education (HE) at age 18 in 2010 (i.e. after two years of further education). Figures include those who have an unconditional place offer and are taking a 'gap year'. This study includes those who have entered HE from both the school and college sectors. The report sub-divides the Year 11 cohort into quintiles based on where they live. So Quintile 1 represents those areas in the County/City that are among the 20% most deprived in the country and identifies how many learners in the cohort come from this quintile, and how many of those subsequently applied to higher education. Quintile 5 represents those from areas in the 20% least deprived in the country. The deprivation of an area is based on the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) which is described below (see*). To provide some comparison year on year, data for 2008 entry to HE has been included in the analysis. * The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 (IMD 2007) is based on the small area of geography known as Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs). LSOAs have a population between 1,000 and 3,000 people, with an average of 1,500 people. In most cases, these are smaller than wards, thus allowing the identification of small pockets of deprivation.
