Bradford

Manningham Mills Sports & Community Association is a charity based in Bradford. For over 150 years, we’ve been bringing people together through sports at our Scotchman Road location. We started our journey as Manningham Mills Cricket Club, a branch of the Lister Mill Sports & Social Club. Originally built in 1838, Lister Mills was once the world’s largest silk mill. Over 7,000 workers had access to our fields for football, cricket and tennis and the social club for table tennis, snooker, bowls and ballroom dancing. After the Mill’s closure in the 1990s, the site was sold to property developers. Members of the Manningham Mills team (Andrew Shepherd, Michael Kaye, Jeff Slater and Delroy Dacres) asked for support from local MP Marsha Singh. Following some investigation, Marsha Singh discovered that a Lister Mills covenant meant the fields could only be used for sports and recreation. Once the property developers were notified, they agreed to sell the fields to Manningham Mills, who secured government funding. The new trustees placed the fields in a trust, protecting their use for sports and recreation for future generations – and changed the name from Manningham Mills to Manningham Mills Sports Association. In June 2006, following a £1.3ml investment, the club reopened with a modern and accessible clubhouse, an electronic cricket scoreboard, IT suite, players’ lounge and multi-function events space. An official opening took place with Gerry Sutcliffe MP, the Sports Minister at the time. In 2008, we became a charity and updated our name to Manningham Mills Sports & Community Association. The club’s legacy continues with a new generation of sports players, including cricketer Adil Rashid, part of the England team that won the 2019 Cricket World Cup.

WLC Ltd spun out of the University of Dundee in 2004, originally to commercialise the results of a major EPSRC funded programme “A Generic Approach to Whole Life Costing”. Its activities have subsequently expanded to encompass the commercialisation of all the intellectual property and expertise developed by the Construction Management Research Unit (CMRU). The CMRU was part of the Department of Civil Engineering which was consistently placed top in Scotland and in the top half dozen in the UK in successive national Research Assessment Exercises. Supported by the research carried out by the CMRU, the company is ideally positioned to realise the synergies between academic research and practising professionals. The company’s multi-disciplinary staff, all of whom hold or are working towards a PhD, include Civil, Mechanical and Environmental Engineers, Architects and Computer Scientists. Drawing on this cutting edge research, the company has specialist expertise in the fields of construction productivity improvement, labour forecasting, project cost and time modelling, whole life costing, value management, risk based asset management and sustainability assessment. Its four technical directors continue to hold part-time or honorary appointments in world class academic institutions. Together they have track records in winning research and consultancy funding approaching £10m from both the public and private sectors in the area of Construction Management. More than 25 PhDs in productivity, sustainability, risk based asset management, whole life costing and cost management have been completed at the Construction Management Research Unit under the supervision of Professor Horner (Chairman of WLC Limited), and the company has carried out commissions to a value in excess of £3m.

Hi there! I’m Karen Holmes, manager and owner of Play Academy. In the Summer of 2019, my life took a huge, exciting turn when I took on this wonderful club. Up until then, I had spent 20 years as a very happy & successful Primary School teacher. During my time as a teacher, I had the pleasure of working with many, many children across the primary age range. I also trained as a student mentor and worked alongside trainee teachers supporting & developing practice. In addition to this I was also responsible for the PSHE curriculum across the whole school, an area I am still massively passionate about. Whilst building my career as an educator, I was also bringing up my two gorgeous sons Toby & Zach. Because I was juggling being a mum with being a teacher, I fully understand the desire parents have for quality wrap around care for children; it’s something my husband and I accessed for our two lovely boys during their primary years. As my career progressed and opportunities were being put in front of me, I paused for a bit and realised that teaching was no longer for me. I was spending less and less time doing the things that had steered me into teaching in the first place; planning, creating & facilitating new and fun quality experiences for children. I wanted to get back to just having ‘fun’ with little people, blowing bubbles, building dens, playing boards games, enjoying the outdoors and most of all…….laughing! To allow children a comfortable, home from home space to practise being good citizens, develop key life skills and master the art of a two way conversation.

HARROGATE,

I’m Matthew and I’ve been helping my students succeed at school and university since 1992, including over 13,000 hours of one-to-one tuition to over 400 students. My philosophy is: more than higher grades. I teach A level Maths and Further Maths, A level Statistics, and A level Physics. At GCSE level I have worked very successfully with students aiming for a grade 6 and above. I also help undergraduates on courses with mathematical content, such as Economics and Business Studies. My focus is on achieving high grades through understanding the material. I tailor my approach depending on individual needs and interests and I believe in making the subject as simple and enjoyable as possible. I am enthusiastic, friendly and approachable. I really want my students to succeed and I’m very happy to be contacted for help outside of their lesson time. I was recently invited by Talksport Radio to be their “maths expert” to speak on the topic of coin tossing, in the context of determining who bats first in a cricket match. You can read a fuller version of what I said here. UCAS + OXBRIDGE ADVICE It is not enough simply to do well at A level, of course: students need to be given the tools to succeed at university. To that end I take a very full interest in their education generally. As one student recently put it, I am “so much more than just a maths tutor”. For example I give guidance and support with university entrance, including the UCAS personal statement, applying to Oxford and Cambridge, and interview preparation, and I have personal experience of working in both the legal and accounting professions. I’ve written a detailed guide for university applicants: Writing your UCAS personal statement. ACADEMIC HISTORY + TEACHING EXPERIENCE I have an outstanding academic record and over twenty-five years experience as a teacher and examiner, during which I’ve received excellent feedback from my students and their parents. I have tutored over 400 students in Harrogate: that’s over 13,000 hours of one-to-one teaching since I started tutoring in 2006. FEES My fees are £220 per month, which covers four one-hour lessons and ongoing continuous support and help outside of lesson time. I do whatever I can to help my students succeed: I’ve even answered messages from a frantic student at midnight, and I’m always happy to talk to parents and guardians. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Because I tutor full-time, I only teach from my home on Victoria Avenue, in central Harrogate, and online. I teach on weekdays from 4pm to 9pm. FREE RESOURCES In addition to my UCAS guide, I have produced a set of ‘cribsheets’ — revision flash cards for A level Maths students — and there is a whole section of the site devoted to the Solar System: part of my project to build a model solar system in Harrogate. I am also currently writing a book about Probability and Statistics. The text is available here.
