Sir Patrick Geddes Memorial Trust

sir patrick geddes memorial trust

WHO WAS PATRICK GEDDES? Sir Patrick Geddes (1854-1932) was a lively and original thinker, a polymath of world significance, a botanist, biologist, town planner and landscape architect, and a pioneer in sociology, environmental education and the arts.Words he devised such as ‘conurbation’, ‘megalopolis’, and ‘habitat’ seemed revolutionary during his lifetime, but are now common currency. His injunction to “think global, act local” has become an environmental catch phrase. His insight that cities are constantly-evolving organic entities launched the urban and regional planning movement around the world. He was one of the first biologists to stress the prime importance of habitat in what would now be called ecology, using a method of survey and synthesis based on the principle of “Place-Work-Folk”. THE TRUST Many organisations use Patrick Geddes’ name to boost their environmental credentials, but the Memorial Trust has a unique position as the ONLY institution which still has a direct connection back to Geddes himself. We promote the study of living society in its environment according to Geddes’ principles and practice. On our website you will find information about his life, work and lasting legacy.

Cook Stars - Hull East and Holderness

cook stars - hull east and holderness

I have 2 amazing children Noah and Phoebe who love to help me out in the kitchen and join in with classes and workshops whenever they can. My wonderful husband Andy shares my passion for cooking and enjoying good food. He has been a sweet chef in a Michelin star restaurant but these days he is kept busy preparing ingredients and washing the pots from the Cook Stars sessions. I come from a family of foodies and food lovers. My mum Marion, introduced me to cooking from a very early age when I would often "help her" in the kitchen. She even used to come into my junior school to volunteer to teach baking and ended up doing this for 25 years!! My brother was also inspired and now owns his own Michelin star restaurant! My degree is in Psychology and Sociology but I have always had an interest in learning about food, cooking and sharing my knowledge and skills. I worked in the hospitality industry as a waitress for many years from part time while going through my education to full time as restaurant supervisor and back to being a waitress while starting out in my teaching career. After graduating I moved to Romania for a short time doing charity work in Gypsy villages particularly working with the children within the communities and helping to feed the villagers by making soup twice a week with one of the heads of the village and distributing it to villagers in need. I worked in a local secondary school for 15 years first as a teaching assistant working in a variety of subjects with students with a variety of needs. I completed my training as a Food teacher in 2005, I have taught a variety of food courses in KS3 and KS4. I was head of the D&T faculty and also worked alongside some local primary schools on a variety of projects. On my return to work after having Phoebe I realised that I needed to look at different avenues to regain my work life balance. Cook stars is the perfect opportunity for me to do this. I can do what I truly love which is teaching Kids to cook and encouraging children to enjoy cooking and learning about nutrition.

Selecting a secondary school is one of the biggest decisions you will make as a family. I’ve been working at Lutterworth College since 2005. I live in the community, and my children attend one of our feeder primaries. In time, they’ll be attending the College. We know that your children are central to your life – and they carry just as much importance to us. I firmly believe that, if something isn’t good enough for my children, it certainly isn’t good enough for yours. I want Lutterworth College to be a great school, but without any tricks or stunts. We prioritise the things we believe matter the most: a broad and enriching curriculum that comprises both academic and practical learning; well-taught lessons that ensure students enjoy coming to school; exceptionally high expectations that prepare them for life beyond the classroom; and a wealth of opportunities for them to flourish. It is an honour to work at the College. We’re building a school for Lutterworth and its surrounding communities that delivers a high-quality education and helps shape our students into mature, responsible and respectful young adults. I hope you enjoy learning about the College and, if you decide that we are the right school for you, I look forward to working with you over the next seven years.
