Leicester Fencing Club

leicester fencing club

Leicester

Leicester Fencing Club originated from a merger between Huncote FC and Granby Halls FC in June 1989. The club was then known as the Granby Hall FC until it was no longer possible to continue fencing at the venue. Both Steve Wright and Jim Amberton had gone to Alderman Newton school at what is now Leicester Grammar School, Peacock Lane. They approached the headmaster to see whether to have fencing again on the site. Allowing his pupils free coaching, the club moved venue to the school premises. As the Club grew in size it was decided that we would have to find a larger venue. The City of Leicester School in Evington (formally Leicester City Grammar School for Boys) already had a history of fencing there, so the club moved again in 1992 and due to the change of venue a new name was required. CLUB ‘X’ was suggested but was thrown out for being too silly and finally the Leicester Fencing Club emerged from the ashes. The Deputy Head Master of the School (Alan Rudge) supported the move and growth of the Club at the School. We continued fencing there for five years but again had to move this time due to security reasons. Another venue was sought and we approached Aylestone Leisure Centre. They accepted us with open arms and the rest has been, as they say, history. The club not only looks after Foil, the club’s main weapon, but now Sabre and Epee are coached. The club provides beginner groups for youth and adults which are structured to the British Fencing Association’s Achievement Awards Scheme, all provided by a well-trained and qualified coaching team. We also support our more experienced members with weekly sessions available for further education towards higher grades or simply a safe environment to have a bit of fun. Our sessions run on Tuesdays for Foil (and Epee where in demand) and Fridays for Sabre Cadets (under 18s). Both groups meet from 7pm until 9pm during term times and occasionally run during the half term breaks and summer holiday, dependent on availability of coaches. For more information on beginner classes see the beginners section or if you are a more advanced fencer looking to switch to LFC then take a look at our membership page.

As sustainability issues have risen up the global political and corporate agendas, our roles as practitioners have only grown, both in scope and importance. This is a really exciting time to be involved in sustainability and I look forward to working with the Board to ensure that we continue to drive our profession forward and support our members to be brilliant at what they do." Victoria Taylor "This is such a fast-moving and critical time for sustainability within business and society. I am super excited to become Vice Chair of the ICRS – an organisation leading the way for CRS practitioners and the continued establishment of our profession.

Jatin Patel "The ICRS is operating in an environment filled with opportunities and challenges. Being a Director, and more importantly, being at the forefront of facilitating discussions which address the climate crisis, the importance of corporate responsibility and building inclusivity into the approaches which tackle these issues is a great honour and one I do not take lightly. And only through collaboration can we make collective gains. Collaboration and sharing of best practice is what we’re all about!" Andrew Wilson "I am delighted to be a Board Director of ICRS. It is the preeminent organisation representing the interests of professionals working in this area. What impresses me most is the power and influence of the ICRS which comes directly from the knowledge and wisdom of all our members – both individuals and organisations. I really appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this collective effort we are all undertaking to enhance the positive role of business in society." Nadia Al Yafai “I’m excited to be an ICRS Director at a time when our profession is not just ‘at the table’ but moving swiftly to ‘owning the table’. From community to sustainability to diversity, our agenda is recognised as central to driving change. The move to purpose-driven business is a key shift in the CR&S professional’s portfolio and one I want to drive alongside embedding a just transition/social impact focus, uniting the social and environment. I’m honoured to support the profession to thrive!”

Lion King Shirt: A Brand That Helps You Honor Your Family Legacy

lion king shirt: a brand that helps you honor your family legacy

Family forms the heart of our lives - we all know this. They raised us, educated us, gave us the memories and traditions that define who we are. Yet, as we grow up and have our own paths, modern life can weaken those family bonds. That’s why you have to make some genuine effort to preserve them. And that’s where the brand Lion King Shirt [https://lionkingshirt.com] comes in. As a famous POD T-shirt brand, this store has served so many families over the years, and they all share the same love and reverence for each other. The team commits to creating custom POD T-shirts that are centered around your family. From reflecting your lineages, to celebrating your memories, the brand’s talented designers make sure that your bond echoes for generations. LION KING SHIRT EXPLAINS: HOW POD T-SHIRTS HAVE BONDED FAMILIES IN AMERICA 1. Creating A Sense Of Belonging By wearing custom T-shirts together at reunions and holidays, you can reconnect the whole family, even families that have fallen out of touch for a long time. It is only natural: once all the members have united under the same fabric, it builds a sense of pride in your heritage, nurturing new and old bonds alike. Though times will change, these special T-shirts remind you of your shared roots, which run deeper than anything. No matter what your name is, where you come from or how you look, you are united by blood. By ordering a simple T-shirt design that says, “The Anderson family” or something, you remind all the members that their lives are sewn together, by invisible threads that far outlive the human memory. 2. Preserving Memories Through Clothing Not all families stay together through the years. In America, children usually move out when they’re 18, and only come back home once in a while. All the more reasons for your family to have some custom T-shirts, so your bond can transcend space and time. For example, when you send a POD T-shirt to a child studying overseas, that shirt is not just fabric anymore. It becomes a living archive of memories; it ensures that your kid has something to remember his or her roots. As they look at the design in the mirror, they’re instantly taken back to their first baby steps, and taken through a long path of memory. POD T-shirts can bring your folks together like never before. 3. Strengthen The Family Identity This usually applies to families with more “unique” traditions and identity. For instance, if you’re born in Texas, and your come from a long line of shepherds, a POD T-shirt with a sheep will certainly tug on your heartstrings. Thanks to T-shirts with unique symbols and elements, you can represent the intangible, yet unbreakable bonds in your family. The bond can be anything: from natural scenery, to names and dates, to images of your shared dreams. These T-shirts are much more than fleeting trends. They are the chronicles of your folks’ traditions, values and ideals. HONOR YOUR FAMILY WITH LION KING T SHIRT DESIGNS AND CUSTOMIZATION 1.

Come down to the brand’s website and start ordering a wedding design. You can add as many elements as you want, from flowers to chocolates to rings. Or if a member’s expecting a child soon, go ahead and print the toddler’s name and sonograph. The same goes for anniversaries, holidays, and everything in between! Because the designing and printing process is so quick, the brand can make sure you won’t miss a beat in celebrating your family’s events.

Highcliffe School

highcliffe school

Dorset,

We believe this atmosphere stems from the ethos passionately promoted by the Governors, school leaders and staff. Our Prospectus aims to give you an insight into the ethos which animates everything we do and how we do it. Caring, Supporting and Encouraging Firstly, we believe young people learn best when they feel safe, supported, and encouraged. Our pastoral care system, alongside our approach to behaviour management and to Rewards, creates a ‘one big family’ feel among students and staff where negative behaviours are not accepted and positive attitudes and successes are celebrated daily. Students say that ‘this is a friendly school’. This view is endorsed by parents who are extremely positive about their children’s safety and the care and guidance they receive. - Ofsted Passionate about Learning Secondly, we believe a first-class education will make a huge difference to every Highcliffe student, opening their minds, developing their powers of reasoning and deepening their knowledge and understanding of the complex world around them. We believe education changes lives and that educated people can change the world. We are passionate about learning, and we communicate our passion for learning and its benefits in everything we do. We encourage students to throw themselves into the experience of secondary school and achieve excellence. We use education to prepare our students for life and equip them with the intellectual powers and personal awareness to aspire to make a difference to the world around them. Our daughter has embraced starting at Highcliffe School. The experience has been extremely positive and most importantly she is very happy. - A Highcliffe Parent The academic rigour of learning at Highcliffe underpins our students’ excellent examination success. Our year groups always achieve well above the national average in GCSE and A Level results. We believe in 2013 and 2015 the proportion of Highcliffe students achieving at least 5 GCSE Grades A*-C including Maths and English by the end of Year 11 was higher than any other nearby Dorset, Bournemouth or New Forest comprehensive school. Our Sixth Form students regularly achieve the top grades, often gaining places on the most academic degree courses at the most prestigious universities. We have an exemplary record gaining college places, apprenticeships or employment for our vocationally talented students at age 16 or 18. As a consequence according to government figures we have one of the very highest proportions nationally of former students now securely in further education, training or employment compared to schools similar to Highcliffe.

Hinchingbrooke School

hinchingbrooke school

Cambridgeshire

It is my privilege to welcome you to Hinchingbrooke School; a remarkable school in many ways Hinchingbrooke is set in acres of beautiful grounds and adjoining a country park. Hinchingbrooke House was formerly the family home of the Cromwells and of the Earls of Sandwich. The school finds inspiration from its heritage and gives both staff and students a very special pride and a sense of identity that we capture in the phrase: We are Hinchingbrooke. Our Mission is a clear statement of why the school exists; our Values provide solid foundations for our work to develop our students as great people; and our Key Focuses make clear that we understand well what matters most in school – you will find the detail of our Mission, Values and Key Focuses below. School is about much more than examination results, important as those are. Our students’ wellbeing is paramount: we aim to know every one of our students, we want them to be happy, and we also want every one of them to feel there is someone in school to whom they can turn, if and when they need to. Our strong sense of community is captured in our pastoral work through HBK.COM. Beyond the classroom, we aim to provide a wide range of high-value extra-curricular opportunities for our students to meet their needs and interests, to develop them as well-rounded young people and, crucially, to enable them to have fun! The educational experience at Hinchingbrooke brings change, challenge and opportunity. Our students’ personal response to these goes a long way to determining their quality of life after leaving school, which is why from day 1, we emphasise Hard Work, High Standards, and Kindness. The school is well served by a team of highly committed teachers and support staff, working in partnership with governors and parents to provide the very best possible education for our young people. There is an immense vitality here and a real sense of togetherness. Hinchingbrooke students develop their confidence and skills to become well-rounded young adults, ready to take their next steps, whatever those may be. By being a part of history they develop a sense of heritage and, by looking forward and preparing for their very different and exciting futures, they develop a sense of destiny too. We are proud of our students and if you take the opportunity to come and meet us, we believe you will see why.
