ITV To Mark NHS 70th Anniversary With Brand New Special Shows
Published: Thu 12 Apr 2018
ITV has announced a diverse line up of special programmes this spring to mark the 70th anniversary of the NHS. In association with NHS England and partners these unique programmes will celebrate this landmark moment and offer a vivid insight into the incredible, life-changing and life-saving work done by its staff across the UK.
In a brand new major television event, The NHS Heroes Awards brought to you by ITV and the Mirror, hosted by Paul O' Grady, will recognise the extraordinary achievements of NHS staff who work tirelessly to improve the lives of others. These real life heroes will be honoured at a glittering red carpet event for the vital service they provide everyday to help people across Britain.
The NHS Heroes Awards will be announced on Monday 14th May during a star-studded ceremony at London's Hilton Park Lane and the event will be screened as a prime time special on ITV.
Paul O'Grady said: "We've all experienced the NHS at some stage, myself included. I'm thrilled and delighted to be hosting the new NHS Heroes Awards as this wonderful institution celebrates its 70th year. We will be honouring the incredible medical staff and also the dedicated work of porters, cleaners and of course the army of volunteers without whom the NHS could not function."
With over 20 million patients a year, hospital Accident and Emergency departments are the beating heart of the NHS. Now, in a television first, new series A&E Live will tell the story of emergency medicine as it happens across one of Britain's major cities. Davina McCall will be embedded in the emergency department including the busy trauma unit at Leeds General Infirmary, which is the birthplace of emergency medicine.
This innovative live documentary will follow the frontline staff as they tackle emergencies from the initial 999 call, in the ambulance and through to treatment in A&E. A&E Live will focus on Yorkshire's finest - NHS doctors, nurses and paramedics - as we follow stories from call to cure. We will witness what they see as they see it, never knowing who or what is coming through the emergency room doors next.
Davina McCall said: "We all owe a great debt to the incredible NHS teams whose skill and commitment each and every day is focused on helping us whenever we're in need. They never know exactly what they're going to face, but they're always prepared to do their best and it's going to be fascinating to see them up close doing their vital work. This will be one of the toughest jobs of my career and I'm honoured and humbled to be joining them for this special week."
Love Your Garden: NHS Special sees Alan Titchmarsh and his team turn their attention to the hugely deserving cause of the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. The largest single-site children's hospital in the country does not have a designated garden, which is a hugely important and appreciated facility at any hospital, particularly one serving hundreds of thousands of children each year. After last year's bomb attack at Manchester arena, many of the young casualties were brought to the hospital with some still being treated there.
The Royal Manchester is a busy hospital run by a dedicated, inspiring team of nurses and doctors committed around the clock to making children's lives better. Now, Alan will set out to transform the hospital's outdoors area into a wonderful, state of the art, multi-functional garden that can provide a much-needed escape for the hardworking staff and young patients and their visiting families as well as assist with their treatment and healing.
Alan Titchmarsh said: "It's been a privilege to meet the amazing staff and brave children and parents at the hospital. Every child, no matter what their circumstances, deserves an outdoor space where they can play and feel safe. My team and I hope this garden brings joy to everyone who uses it for many years to come."
Sue Murphy, ITV Head of Factual Entertainment, said: "We're thrilled to be working with NHS England and some of ITV's biggest stars to celebrate the NHS on its 70th Anniversary. These unique programmes, from Paul O'Grady's star-studded gala to Davina's live documentary and Alan's amazing transformative show will honour the men and women who make a real difference in the service of one of Britain's greatest institutions and hopefully make us all think a little bit less about what our NHS can do for us and a little more about what we can do to help our NHS."
The NHS Heroes Awards [1x120] is a partnership event between and ITV the Mirror. It is produced by Shiver and is commissioned for ITV by Nicola Lloyd, Commissioning Editor, and Sue Murphy.
The Awards invite the public to recognise the stars of our health service by nominating them in a range of categories. Celebrating the work done to help people when they most need it, the 11 categories include awards for diverse roles across emergency care, hero nurses, doctors, volunteers, fundraisers, support staff and a special Aneurin Bevan Lifetime Achievement award. A full list of the categories is included below.
Lloyd Embley, Group Editor in Chief for Trinity Mirror, said: "The Mirror has a proud history of championing the NHS and these awards are an opportunity to acknowledge and honour those who make a real difference to the lives of families up and down the country."
Event television series A&E Live is produced by Optomen and is commissioned for ITV by Kate Teckman, Commissioning Editor, and Sue Murphy.
A&E Live [3x60] will show NHS staff at the frontline dealing with medical emergencies in a major city. Leeds General Infirmary pioneered emergency medicine and the series will show the experience of staff and patients on the ground across the city's two busy A&E departments. Access agreed with Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust means the series will bring viewers an up close look at life in A&E at Leeds General Infirmary, St James's University Hospital and with ambulance crews serving the city with the full range of cases that have to be dealt with as well as meeting the key characters across the service that keep everything running.
Love Your Garden NHS Special [1x60] is produced by Spun Gold Television and commissioned for ITV by Priya Singh, Commissioning Editor, and Sue Murphy.
The special show will see a state of the art, outdoor haven for the NHS's youngest patients and their families built at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. Gardens are a hugely appreciated place for patients to escape from the confines of the wards and a new outdoor space is much-needed at the Royal Manchester, which, with 371 beds, sees 220,000 patients every year and is the largest single-site children's hospital in the country.
Love Your Garden NHS Special will follow Alan and his team as they set about their mission to transform an area at the front of the hospital and meet patients and staff as they wait to finally get the facility they deserve and which can be enjoyed for many years by thousands of people.
NHS Heroes Awards brought to you by ITV and the Mirror - full list of categories:

Coaching Sessions 'Emotional Alchemy'
- Symbiosis by Autumn Skye Morrison.
Emotional Alchemy is a process, that I learnt in my 'Feminine Power Mastery Training' with Claire Zammit. Now I would like to share this wisdom and experience with you!
The aim of the practice is to consciously look and listen to our deepest feelings and needs. You can learn new skills in holding and containing your own inner process to fully step into an empowered relationship with the whole of yourself and with life.
Very often we disconnect from difficult feelings and emotions because they are too overwhelming or we are just used to pushing them away since childhood. The effects of these feelings and emotions manifest in the body and will often get in the way of being deeply present and focused. As adults, we may then find it hard to really connect in our relationships and can feel a lack of fulfillment in our lives.
The practices of 'Emotional Alchemy' can simply help us to heal and nurture ourselves. Now is the time! We don't anymore want to live a life being limited by our past experiences and we don't want to wait until somebody comes and saves us. It's time we take self-responsibility and learn to harness the power within ourselves. Using these skills you can soon feel empowered to turn your story around, so that you can start becoming who you really are.
'Emotions are the gateway to Divinity'
The work with Emotional Alchemy is a powerful tool to help us connect with our deepest feelings and emotions, sometimes for the first time ever. This can be overwhelming, especially when we are used to pushing those feelings down or distracting ourselves from them.
I offer private 1-to-1 coaching for people going through some kind of life challenge or crisis, to get a healthy sense of integration and to support a journey of healing. I also teach how it's possible to maintain secure self-containment in order to come into an empowered relationship with yourself.
I charge £60/hour for private coaching, which can take place in person or via telephone/skype.
If you wish to book an appointment please call 07722 403863 or send an email to .
Client Testimonials:
"I was going through a very difficult time in my life... I experienced my stress level rising up until I was getting all sorts of physical symptoms. I felt ill even though the doctor said all the tests were ok. At this point I realized, thatI had to look deeper in order to get to the real issues which were behind those symptoms. I found your meditation sessions really helpful because you taught me how to connect with that younger self of mine and try to hold and contain him with the resourceful adult self, which I am. I learnt how to be with whatever happened or came up to the surface. I also learnt that feelings and emotions do not just exist in our mind but all over our body; that's why my body got ill. Now I see that those unresolved feelings I was actually carrying around for a very long time. I felt really understood and comfortable with you from the very beginning. Thanks to your support I could look even deeper and got to understand old trapped feelings and emotions and their influence on my current behaviour. After just a few sessions I am much more confident to face any difficult situations that occur every day!"

The two candidates for Seattle City Council Position 8, Jon Grant and Teresa Mosqueda, agree housing is too expensive. They disagree on how to approach the problem.
Seattle's housing problem looks different from Teresa Mosqueda's window than it does from Jon Grant's door.
Grant points to a pair of new town houses near the Rainier Valley home where he lives with two rent-paying roommates. He says developers are making the neighborhood less affordable by demolishing small, older houses like the one he owns.
Mosqueda nods at the new McMansion next door to the Queen Anne building where she and her husband rent an apartment. She says the city should have allowed a condominium to be built there instead, giving families like hers an opportunity to buy.
The two candidates for Position 8 on the City Council agree Seattle is too expensive, but Grant talks more about the loss of housing that ordinary people can afford, and Mosqueda talks more about building it.

He promises to "push the boldest agenda and see how far we can drag other folks along," while she pledges a more collaborative approach.
Rivals for the citywide seat Tim Burgess decided to vacate after 10 years, Grant and Mosqueda teamed up last year on an effort to raise the state minimum wage, with Mosqueda leading the bid and Grant working for her.
But their council race has grown increasingly fierce in the run-up to the Nov. 7 election.
"We're going up against the political class … a lot of the usual players," Grant said in a recent interview.
"I'm not just out there on the streets with my bullhorn, though I am," Mosqueda countered. "I'm not just pounding on the table demanding that we address injustices. I've actually sat at the table and convened diverse groups for policy change."
Early influences, careers
Ferry rides across Elliott Bay were responsible for Grant's political awakening, says the 35-year-old raised by a lawyer and a teacher on Bainbridge Island.
"It was shocking and galling to me that a city as wealthy as Seattle could have such a rampant homelessness problem," he said, recalling what he saw. "At a very young age, I committed myself towards the work of becoming a homelessness advocate."
College took Grant to the University of Redlands in California, and activism took him to Washington, D.C., where he says a local organizer gave him his mission.
"I asked her, 'Homelessness, gosh, what's the answer?' and she was like, 'Housing. We need affordable housing.' It was so clear and concise," he recalled.
The urge to help, Grant says, later led him to the Tenants Union of Washington State, where he served as executive director from 2010 to 2015.
During that time, Grant says he pushed the City Council to adopt a rental-inspection law, helped stop Seattle Housing Authority rent increases, and battled the eviction of working-class tenants by real-estate speculators.
He spent time living in Wedgwood, Greenwood, Georgetown and Beacon Hill before buying a house in 2013 off Rainier Avenue South, near Hillman City.
Grant, who is now campaigning full time, charges his roommates $450 a month each.
"There's a lot of housing that's affordable this way — shared living situations," he said, comparing his arrangement to the new town houses up the street, of the type he says sell for more than $500,000 each.
He worries that looser zoning rules will speed up demolitions.
"Development like that, in and of itself, isn't going to create housing for low-income people," Grant says.
Growing up activist
Maybe not. But development done right, with creativity and community involvement, can help newcomers and longtime residents who are being priced out, Mosqueda says.
The daughter of an Evergreen State College professor and an education professional, she spent her childhood in Olympia, where her parents were advocates for social justice.
"My parents were renters until my senior year in high school," the 37-year-old said. "I grew up with books by Marx and Chomsky and Naomi Klein on the table."
Mosqueda says she jumped into politics with other members of a Chicanx students group at the University of Washington, protesting in solidarity with the Zapatistas and against the World Trade Organization.
She then turned to local service, helping seniors secure health insurance and other assistance through Sea Mar Community Health Centers. Mosqueda earned a master's degree while working for the state Department of Health, sought insurance for undocumented-immigrant kids at the Children's Alliance, sat on the state board that oversaw the rollout of Obamacare in Washington, and is now political director for the Washington State Labor Council.
She and her husband want to buy a home, but took a step back about a year ago, she says, when they used savings to help his mother as she fought breast cancer.
"That's what happens for so many people," Mosqueda said, lamenting Seattle's shortage of options for families without the money to buy a single-family home.
Decades ago, Seattle allowed apartment buildings to rise on her Queen Anne block, she says. Were that still the case, condos might have replaced the single-family house next to her building, rather than the McMansion — and 10 families might be housed rather than one.
"Our city has taken so many steps in the wrong direction over the past decades," Mosqueda said, arguing for zoning changes. "We need to be a city that meets our community's needs."
Low-income housing
Since Mosqueda entered the race in January, she and Grant have been debating: How much low-income housing should the city require developers to build or fund?
And because the candidates agree on so much (both say the city should ban employers from using salary history to set pay for new hires, for example, and both say the city should adopt rent control), their answers to that question could help voters decide the election.
With Seattle allowing taller buildings in and around its urban villages, Grant says he would demand that developers devote 25 percent of their projects to low-income housing — rather than the 2 to 11 percent required under the city's existing framework.
He's proud to have been the only person on a panel convened by then-Mayor Ed Murray to vote in 2015 against the framework — Murray's "grand bargain."
Mosqueda calls Grant's pledge an unrealistic, "bumper-sticker" slogan, saying it could cause construction to "grind to a halt." She points to San Francisco, where voters last year approved a 25 percent requirement. City lawmakers this year reduced it to 18 percent after some developers said the mandate made building infeasible. At the time, two private projects had agreed to move ahead with the 25 percent requirement.
"Jon says 25 percent because it sounds good," Mosqueda said. "I also think it sounds good. The community thinks it sounds good. But it won't work."
According to Grant, the San Francisco case shows that some developers will swallow tough requirements and it demonstrates the importance of setting high goals.
"They started at 25 percent and ended up with 18 percent. We started out by meeting with developers and asking what they would give us," he said.
Mosqueda says she would press for higher requirements where appropriate while pursuing other solutions, such as building low-income housing on vacant public land and using community-land trusts to help renters convert their buildings into condos.
Had the city known and alerted her and her neighbors to the impending sale of their building a year ago, maybe they could have made an offer. She says she's seen neighbors struggle as rents have gone up.
Grant says 25 percent is "aspirational." When the council upzoned the University District this year, he joined other activists to push for a more modest goal.
"You campaign in poetry, and govern in prose," he said.
The Position 8 race has been overshadowed at times by mayoral matters. But the winner will play a key role on the council in replacing Burgess — a moderate by Seattle standards. So the stakes are plenty high.
Councilmember Kshama Sawant and her Socialist Alternative Party have backed Grant, along with the Democratic Socialists of America, Councilmember Lisa Herbold and Real Change director Tim Harris.
Every local Democratic Party group and virtually every union has endorsed Mosqueda, whose supporters also include U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, state Attorney General Bob Ferguson and nonprofit leaders such as El Centro de la Raza's Estela Ortega.
You can hear tension in the candidates' voices when they talk about each other, and their surrogates have for months been warring on social media.
After The Seattle Times Editorial Board recently endorsed Grant, joining The Stranger in backing him, Mosqueda's campaign released an open letter from her backers calling on women "to get credit for the work we do." Since then, hundreds of local women have signed on.
Mosqueda says Grant has been wrong to brand her an establishment candidate and developer shill, in part based on donations to her campaign from some in business.
She points to her support from the unions, from housing advocates who have worked with Grant in the past, and from women's- and immigrant-rights groups.
"He's coming at me with that because he doesn't have anything else to come at me for," she said. "Now he's saying I'm in the pocket of big labor. Is that a thing?"
Here's what Grant says: "We need a robust labor movement, but in Seattle there's a tendency for labor leadership to get really close to the powers that be."
Mosqueda supporters point out that Grant's parents helped him buy his house, which was a foreclosure.
"I've been very upfront about my privilege," Grant said. "A lot of people need help buying a house in Seattle."
He says voters care more about where the candidates stand on the issues than about their personal lives.
"Is this a race between progressives who are interchangeable or (a race) between somebody who, in my view, represents the political establishment … and a person who represents the interests of the community? I'm in the second race, in my mind," he said.
Mosqueda says her résumé and experiences matter.
"I'm still working. He doesn't have a job."
Sometimes it appears women of color must prove themselves twice as much, Mosqueda said.
"I hope voters look past the top of the ticket. I hope they take the time to look at this race," she said.
The community leaders supporting her, she says, "have decided that our city needs someone who's going to be progressive, principled, effective and collaborative."
The other City Council race on the ballot is the Position 9 contest between incumbent M. Lorena González, a civil-rights attorney and former legal adviser to ex-Mayor Murray, and longtime South Seattle activist and businesswoman Pat Murakami.

Plaça de la Ciutat de Bruges, s/n, 46001 València.
Opening times Monday – Saturday from 07:00-15:00. Subway: Metro Xativa
Today I am going to show you around one of Valencia's treasures, sometimes you need to be away, Berlin in my case, to look on the bright side and start appreciating more the city where you come from, because Valencia becomes more beautiful once you come back.
Valencia central market is one of the most symbolic places of the city, located in the city center between "la plaza del Mercado" and next to "La Lonja de la Seda" also a great touristic badge of the city.
The Construction of Valencia central market began in 1914 and was not fully completed until 1928. The style blends a modern Art Nouveau style but mirrors some of the architectural influences of nearby buildings such as the Gothic Llotja de la Seda and the eclectic Gothic-baroque church of Sants Juanes. It recognizes the power of iron and glass to allow the construction of open spaces.
|Valencia Central Market
|Magic of Spanish architecture, market dome,
|Worldwide spices, بهارات من جميع انحاء العالم
|Olives and different kinds of Olive oil,زيت زتون من عدة مناطق مختلفة في اسبانيا
It was fully renovated in 2004, and it has been used as a market since, the place is famous not only because of the quality and freshness of her products but also because of the friendly character of the market sellers.
Nowadays, Valencia Central Market it has a big impact in the touristic flow of the city, locals and visitors are bewitched by its charm, the products are fresh and high quality and also extremely attractive to the view, the products become object of desire of every visitor.
But buying groceries is not the only thing we can do in the Market, we can also eat and enjoy the place also restaurants where you can enjoy the food, the most famous one is Central bar by Ricard Camarena, a local cook with a Michelin star, in his bar we can enjoy amazing sandwiches, dishes and desserts elaborated with the best products of the market.
Besides in the façade of the market we can also appreciate the dishes elaborated with the best products of the market together with almost always present Spanish sun in the several terraces and restaurants around the market.

The Gift of Hope
Rukundo International's "Kids Sunday" not only provides children in the community with education, food, and spiritual growth, it has also brought hope to the entire community. Each Sunday, we open the grounds of our school and welcome any child from the community. The children are given a meal, the opportunity to attend a school-type lesson, and use of the recreational facilities with organized activities. Since the launch of "Kids Sunday" earlier this year, attendance has grown to well over 100 children per week!
At a recent meeting with Kids Sunday staff, growth was reported in every development area. Staff and community members are noticing a change that is sweeping through the area. It has all begun with the children and an outpouring of love. Love from sponsors like you, who continue to keep us at Rukundo pushing toward our goal of affecting change in an entire community. Seeing the amount of growth that is possible with such a small budget is truly remarkable.
When the program launched in January of this year, many of the children in the community who attended were without morals and guidance. Since many of the children who come to "Kids Sunday" have not attended any formal school or other organized activity, many feared that proper use of the facilities would be an issue; stealing from neighbors and abusive words were reported. However, the staff has been sensitive to the needs of the children and concluded that many of the children merely lacked the confidence and faith in themselves to make responsible decisions. The most tragic element in the lives of the children was their lack of hope. When they were asked about what they wanted to be when they grew up (perhaps the most common childhood question to ask), many children replied that they had no money for school fees and so there was no hope to "become" anything. No hope to be anything… take a second and imagine what it would be like to have no hope that you would ever be anything. No dreams, no aspirations, no meaning in life.
But then God began to work. The teachers and program workers began to work and invest in these children and the changes are miraculous. The children who had hardened their hearts to the cruel reality of their circumstances began to soften and molt. The rough exterior fell away for them to become new beings through love and guidance. Parents now seek the advice of staff when dealing with misbehavior at home. A trust and a bond has formed within the community because they have witnessed this change.
The children are no longer skipping the spiritual and school lesson portion of the Sunday session and are taking advantage of the entire program- not just the free meal. Their palates and bodies have adjusted to the food provided. Since many kids in the community are only able to eat once per day, having a healthy and balanced meal is an added bonus and an important addition to support their growth and development.
Children have also been instructed on the use of our toilet facilities and are able to use them properly even though many other schools do not have facilities that are widely acceptable as up to standard. The majority of schools and homes in the area where we work have what is known as a pit latrine- a hole in the ground, where one urinates and defecates. There is no running water at most homes and schools in this community, which makes proper hygiene a challenge. Open defecation is still commonly practices in rural areas, leading to many preventable health problems. Our school is teaching children and their parents how to be healthy, by demonstrating proper hygiene standards, such as always washing hands, to reduce sickness.
In less than a year of Sundays, these kids have been able to gain the confidence to clean and take care of themselves. Their handwriting and English have improved. Some "dropouts" have even returned to school to better "fit in" with the high standards of the program. But perhaps most importantly, they now have hope for themselves in the future. They dream about what career they will have in the future. They now stand confidently to answer questions in class and hold themselves accountable for their behavior, dress, and learning. The confidence and trust in the "Kid's Sunday" program is growing daily.
Moving Forward…
In order to move forward, the program needs to make sure it can meet the needs of all students. This means that paper, writing utensils, and textbooks that are appropriate for the students' ages should be purchased. The children who attend "Kid's Sunday" are taking advantage of a free program. For these families, school fees and basic school supplies are simply not within their financial reach.
There is also need for televisions and requests for small field trips in order to offer more recreational opportunities for the children. A dance and song instructor has also been suggested. The staff is also ready to begin expanding the program to include Wednesday evenings as well. In the future, we would hope to make the program available on a daily basis, but with sensitivity to their household responsibilities. Expansion of the program to include medical clinics and other community resources is also everpresent.
We are thankful for your constant support and continue to be amazed by the hard work of our staff and the blessings the way that God allows us to be used for His purpose.

Covid 19 - update - 3rd April
Friday 3rd April 2020
Coronavirus (Covid-19) - Update for Parents/Carers
Dear Parents/Carers,
I hope, wherever you are, that this finds you, your families and friends, well and safe. We have reached, believe it or not, the end of term. It has arguably been one of the most challenging and unpredictable terms that we have experienced in recent times. I hope to give you an update on the steps we have taken so far and our current plans going forwards.
Year 11 & Year 13 students
Today, Ofqual have published their guidance to schools on the grading of A levels and GCSEs this summer. They have written a letter directly to students to explain the process and that can be found here. It is important to note two points that come out of the guidance:
- We will be assessing the students on the work they undertook up to March 20th to create the grade we believe they would have achieved in the exam. We will take into account all of the work that we have seen and our wider knowledge of them. No work undertaken after 20th March will be considered.
- Schools are instructed not to inform students or parents/carers of the internal grades we will be generating. Students will receive their results from the exam boards in the summer.
We will now be working over the next few weeks to compile the necessary information for the exam boards. As I have said before, the best reassurance that I can give the students is that we know them very well and will do everything that we can to ensure that they receive the right grade for them.
Government advice
I managed to meet up yesterday with two of our local police officers. They were positive that the public in our area, including our students, are generally following the government advice and staying at home. We know this is a challenge and so I thank you for all that you are doing to follow the need for these lockdown measures.
A parent asked me yesterday whether we knew more or different information about what might come next. The answer is that we are following the national picture in the same way that everyone else is. No statements have been given to schools about the longevity of the closures. From my discussions with other schools and the local authority, we are all assuming that it is highly unlikely that we will be back in school before May half term and it may be longer than that. As you will have seen from the news, the government's scientific advisors are tracking the impact of the actions that have been taken and waiting to see those results before deciding what to do next.
It is worth repeating the message I sent out last week from Sharon Baker, Chief Inspector & Local Police Area Commander for South Somerset & Mendip, who also happens to be one of your governors:
Whilst your local Neighbourhood team are still out in your local towns and villages, parents can help us by directing all non-urgent enquiries through our website, Facebook and Twitter accounts rather than 101.
We are adapting to new ways of working ourselves and have started holding online beat surgeries via our local Facebook profiles:
PC Darren Pearson for Wells
PCSO Mel Rowlands for Glastonbury
PCSO Amanda Ware for Shepton
Policing has needed to adapt, and whilst we will be dealing with more over the phone, I want to reassure everyone that if you need us in an emergency please do call 999, we will be there.
Easter holidays
We are endeavouring to keep to some form of normal rhythm and so the school will be closed for the Easter holidays from the end of today, except for the small number of students who need to be looked after because of the critical work their parents are doing. We will not be setting work online during those two weeks, as much to give everyone the space to look after themselves and their families as anything else. We will, however, be maintaining an enrichment challenge over this time that we hope will engage the students.
I do not intend writing to you in the next two weeks unless further announcements from the government make that necessary. Should you need to contact us, for example if your work circumstances change, then please email Mrs Stitch: email@example.com. Our phones will be staffed intermittently, but the email will be checked daily. The Sharp system for reporting safeguarding concerns will remain in operation on the front page of our website.
We say goodbye at the end of this term to Miss Vowles and Mr Butler and thank them for their contributions to our school life. We wish them well in their new ventures. We will welcome Mrs Gibson (PE) and Miss Allen (maths) to the school at the start of the summer term.
Home learning: summer term
Our Guide to Home Learning has been updated and is available on the school website here. We have planned to continue our home learning via google classroom after the Easter holidays with some amended expectations based on the experience so far. Those expectations will be set out in the Guide.
As I have said before, we appreciate that organising home learning in your households is not an easy task. That is particularly so when you are likely to be balancing your own work and care commitments. Our task is not to pretend that we can deliver the normal school curriculum at this time; that would be an unreasonable expectation. Keeping our students engaged in learning is far more important. That is why other activities you will be organising, such as cooking for the family and helping in the house and garden, are just as important.
Protective equipment
I am pleased to report that we have donated our supply of goggles and disposable gloves from our school stock to Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group who will distribute it to those who are in real need of it at this time.
School site
A reminder that our school site is closed to everyone except the very small number of individuals for whom it is essential that they come to school. This includes our playing fields that are not open to members of the public.
This term
There is a danger now that history will remember this term and this year for one thing only. That would be a shame given all that was achieved in the first 9 or 10 weeks of term before the close down began. For those that were part of or saw the Hairspray production, I am sure that it is still bringing a smile to your faces. Thousands of pounds were raised for Sport Relief; students and staff visited the battlefields of France, alongside department trips to the likes of London and Bristol; we hosted the first Somerset schools' eco conference; our Duke of Edinburgh and Ten Tors students carried on their training; numerous companies came into school to help our students plan their careers.
I mention these events, but they also sat alongside the vast swathe of 'normal' life that made up the school day. I suspect that there is now an appreciation of what it meant to us all and how we gained pleasure from the more simple aspects of our lives. I have been in school this week and I can assure you that the buildings are still there, the grounds look glorious in the spring sunshine and the daffodils are in bloom. They are all waiting there for the time when, together, we are allowed to return.
Take care of yourselves, your families and your friends.
Yours faithfully
Mark Woodlock

This is definitely a fantastic selection for women that have lately made recent lifestyle choice, have actually lost some weight and also feel great adequate to bare all of it in a big method. Fishnet lingerie is the best in over-the-top hot lingerie, because it reveals virtually everything. Fishnet is understood for being totally translucent, and also is typically made from mesh. Fishnet lingerie additionally comes in all type of various shades, which is fantastic for convenience if you especially enjoy this style. The most preferred kind of fishnet is the classic set of bra and lingeries. This includes all the varieties of lingeries that there are, from child shorts, swimwear cuts and bands. You can additionally, of program add a set of standard fishnet pantyhose or upper leg highs. These are the best thing of lingerie for females who do not wish to make the delve into head to toe fishnet lingerie, yet want to rather experiment or just add an elegant touch of this sexy product.
When acquiring any kind of kind of fishnet lingerie, whether it is lingeries or bras, bear in mind that you should surf around in order to locate the excellent lingerie items for you. This might include seeing a variety of shops, including some that you might not usually see, because fishnet items are sometimes tough to find. Likewise, you should not be scared to invest in top quality items that will last you a long period of time, instead of affordable lingerie that will break down quickly. This especially relates to fishnet selections of lingerie, which often tend to be quite fragile and also need to be dealt with thus. Curvy figures function to the benefit for ladies looking for big size lingerie.

There are, nevertheless, some fishnet body stockings that are focused on a curvier figure which work well. You also need to make certain that you locate lingerie that fits appropriately, considering that there is absolutely nothing that looks even worse than lingerie that is too limited or as well huge.

Jewel tones really fit darker complexion, while tones of red, green and blue fit redheads with lighter skin tones. Pastel and coral reefs shades fit brunettes with darker skin, while paler tones will look fantastic on blonds with light skin.

Being of Italian heritage I absolutely love anything that's hot and spicy. Yes, before you say it, that also includes women.
But, this is NOT about hot and spicy women today, but about jalapeno peppers. Which apparently can cause you to go ballistic and do things that normal people would not do.
Not that "I" have ever done anything violent after eating a jalapeno pepper, unless you count the number of times I've bolted to the bathroom after woofing down quite a few of them with my butt on fire.
But, apparently jalapeno peppers, combined with bacon and macaroni CAN cause others to lose it. Big time!
Such was the case when Luke Gatti, 19, of Bayville, New York completely lost it on October 4th and went into a tirade at the University of Connecticut's student union and was charged with breach of peace. Or….breach of jalapeno. Whatever.
According to a news report by "The Hartford Courant," Gatti will appear in Hartford Superior court on Monday to face charges that also included first-degree criminal trespass with regard to the jalapeno incident.
I guess you could call it, "assault and jalapeno."
Further proof that eating or craving jalapeno peppers can make you do nutso things. Like lose it in front of a lot of people who have cameras and decide to film your tirade and then post it on You Tube and then, yes….then…..have bloggers like myself not only write a blog about it, but also post that YouTube video.
Is this kid gonna be famous or what!
In living color and with all the "F" words included, (cover little children's ears) here's the actual video of the jalapeno bacon incident. I might add that the tipping point, so to speak, was at about 6:14 into the video when Gatti pushed the manager who was attempting to calm the kid down. (not for the faint of heart)
So, besides the point that Gatti may have had a bit too much firewater to drink, further proof that jalapeno bacon sandwich cravings can make you do strange things. Gawd knows what this kid would have done if he actually ate that sandwich.
Gatti has since applied for accelerated rehabilitation. Which I guess means he must seek out rehab counseling and stay away from any jalapenos, or at least opt for home delivery.
According to the "Courant," "when a defendant applies for accelerated rehabilitation, the court file is sealed. Gatti will have certain conditions to meet if his application into the program for first time offenders is accepted. They can include community service or getting counseling, according to state law."
So now, all because he was pissed off no one would serve him a jalapeno bacon and macaroni sandwich, he's got to go into rehab. Oh, and using all those "F" words and shoving the manager….that too.
I can see where this is all going. The kid got his 15 minutes of jalapeno fame on YouTube. Next, possibly an appearance on some late night TV show where he demonstrates how to eat a jalapeno bacon sandwich and go berserk in front of the cameras. And then, pushes the host off of the stage.
SEE folks. It doesn't take much to get your 15 minutes of fame. Just go jalapeno commando.
Oh….and don't forget the bacon and macaroni.
Then again, wasn't it yours truly who went berserk over not getting chocolate on my lemon filled Krispy Kreme donut.
HEY! Where TF is MY 15 minutes of fame ya damn idiots?
Oops…..does this mean "I" have to go into accelerated rehabilitation too?
Soreeeee……………..for my outburst.

British Council organized a 2 days Creative Industries Conference and Export for the 26 and 27 April, 2016. They recognized the need to improve the cultural relationship between Nigeria and UK. Another reason was to engage practitioners to understand where the gaps are.
A cross section of the participants were drawn from the Government, writers, actors, film makers, musicians, dramatists, sculptors, media practitioners and the like.
The conference was quite engaging and people were empowered with information and experiences from those who have walked the path and succeeded.
After Lola Soneyin spoke on how she created, runs and gets Ake Festival funded, somebody sitting next to me whispered to me; 'this is just what I needed to kick start my festival in Abuja.'
Dike Chukwumerije inspired a lot of people and they began to think of how they can grow and ply their artistic businesses without waiting for government.
The Day one of the conference was moderated by Mo Abudu, the founder of Ebony Life TV.
The British High Commissioner to Nigeria welcomed the participants and declared the conference open.
Mr. Graham Sheffield the Global Director Arts and Member Executive Board, British Council also spoke on the importance of the Creative Industry the economy.
The Honourable Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, spoke extensively on how the government values Creative Industries and recognizes it as a major income earner and the plans his administration have for the industries.
Unfortunately, he left soon after even before the creative can engage him on some of the issues he raised and questions they wanted him to respond to.
The topic for the second session for the first day was Building Blocks for a successful Creative Industries.
The session which was moderated by Ms. Nkiru Asika had on the panel; Mr. Folarin-Coker, the Commissioner for Arts, Culture and Tourism, Lagos State, Mrs. Eugenia Abu, Executive Director Programmes NTA and Dike Chukwumerije, Performance Poet and Creative Director Night of the Spoken Word (NSW).
The Commissioner of Lagos State who wished the Honourable Minister for information was around, stated that there was something to appreciate in the culture of every tribe. Nigeria has no choice than to embrace the Creative Industries considering the dwindling oil prices and the high unemployment rate in the country especially among the youths. Creative Industries can cover these gaps.
He posited that Nigeria had the Human Resources and there was need to train all stakeholders to make Nigeria's Creative Industries competitive.
On its part, government has to ensure infrastructure was in place and functional. That the copyright laws are enforced. It must also provide institutional funding as a way of encouraging investment in that sector.
The media needs to support the Creative Industries to grow but advised everyone to make use of social media to advertise their businesses as it is free.
Eugenia Abu stated that the Creative Industries in Nigeria is untapped and bursting. She however noted the challenge was the ability to manage and take it to the next level.
She recognized the importance of Creative Industries for wealth generation.
She advised parents and guardians not to kill talents of their children and wards because only when people do what they love, that is when they are happy and it becomes easier for them to get to the top.
There was need for people to take up other skills and axillary services in addition to what they already have.
She advised participants to brand their businesses and not do or say things on social media that would tarnish their brands.
She advised against frivolity and urged people to use the media to push themselves up.

Dike stated that the problem most artistes have was space. Space was important for creativity. He took the participants through the process of starting the Night of Spoken Words. He emphasized that the first three editions were free before he 'summoned' courage to introduce ticket.
The second day began with a panel discussion on CREATIVE EDUCATION AND SKILLS AND HOW IT UNDERPINS COMPETITIVENESS.
The panel was moderated by Dr. Tom Fleming, Director Tom Fleming Creative Consultancy (TFCC), UK, Dr. Ike Obiaya, the Dean, School of Media and Communication, Pan Atlantic University, Nigeria, Dr. Paul Nwulu, Programme Officer, Advancing Public Service, Media, Ford Foundation West Africa.
Tom Fleming noted that in the UK the industry is structured sector by sector but in Nigeria all the creative sectors come together and work seamlessly. He also noted that despite the large population of Nigeria, the Creative Industries is a small community and everyone seems to know everyone. That means there are a lot of people who the Creative Industries is not reaching to.
Though Nollywood and all other creative works are growing but the skill is not there. There is need for skill education so the best can come out.
On his own part, Dr. Obiaya reiterated that gaps exist in the Creative Industries as per skills. There must be things that should be done to make the sector more competitive e.g. training of service industry.
He mentioned that one of the things militating against the Creative Industries was the negative perception against the arts and humanities in general. That mindset must change.
He noted the need for talent certification and licensing.
Government should be concerned in developing curriculum that is relevant and necessary to the industries. The Creative Industries also can come together to develop what is relevant and must be in the curriculum.
There is need for the industries to be technologically based. The industries as it is now, is not teaching people to think. People must engage in creative thinking, innovative thinking.
Creative Entrepreneurs need business plans to convince business people to decide on whether they should or should not invest in any creative venture.
There is need for Creative Entrepreneurs to form a pressure group to get what they want from government.
The Creative Entrepreneurs must create network for knowledge sharing.
Creative people must be ready to go through internship to make them better at what they do.
Private organizations can play a role in funding training.
It is necessary to set up creative cities.
There is a two way relationship between education and skill
Paul Nwulu noted that copyright laws needed to be revised to bring them up to date.
He enlightened the audience on how Ford Foundation functions and the trainings they have sponsored for documentaries and the like. He stated that the interest of Ford Foundation is on young people.
He believes that there was a need to address the skills and capacity deficit that is in the country.
He noted that the sector was informal and advocated that it must be structured or formalized in such a way as to get returns on investments.
This has led to the no data or accurate data situation. No one knows exactly how much the Creative Industries is contributing to the GDR since a lot of the creative people are not even registered!
The next panel discussion was on The Role Of Festivals In Developing Cultural And Creative Industries.
The moderator of this session was Ms. Yemisi Mokuolu, director, Hatch Africa, UK while the panelists were Mr. Michael Williams, MD, Cross River State Tourism Board, Ms. Lola Shoneyin, Founder Ake Bok and Arts Festival and Tom Porter, Director of Arts Sub Saharan Africa, British Council.
Yemisi stated that festivals were important as they are used to present arts in very formal way. She emphasized that festivals can be money spinners and was a win win situation for everyone; restaurants, cab drivers, job opportunities etc.
Apart from the economic value of festivals which we must capitalize on, festivals make for social cohesion. Festival is a place to develop skill, nurture ideas. Festivals need enlightenment and event management.
She noted that in Nigeria, festival sector is at infancy and needs everyone's support.
Mike spoke about the history of the highly successful Calabar festival and urged participants to think of festivals in terms of sustainability. He said the best and easiest way to make money in festivals was to charge for tickets and grade the tickers in terms of VIP and others.
Lola spoke of how in the course of promoting her book, The Secret Lives Of Baba Seyi's wives, she discovered that there was a need for festival in Nigeria where conversations can be held on African writing on African soil.
She spoke of the challenges in hosting this festival every year. The festival incorporated her immediate environment and outlined the various value chains. In the last festival, she noted that they broke a record of selling over N5m worth of books.
Tom advised that in order to break even and make money from festivals, all costs must be borne and covered by sponsorship so that whatever is paid on the ticket is your profit. However he said people only pay for good quality stuff.
The next panel; Investment and Funding Models for the Creative Industries in conjunction with Music Week Africa was chaired by Mr. Audu Maikori, founder Chocolate City Group, Music Week Africa.
The panelists were Ms. Emem Ema, Director One Management, Mr. Tom Fleming of Tom Fleming Creative Consultancy, UK, Mr. Akin Oyebode, Executive Secretary, Lagos State Employment Fund and Mr. John Osadolor, Executive Director Business Day Newspapers.
This session attracted a lot of attention because it addressed the issue as aptly described by Audu Maikori, 'where is the money?'
Audu stated that entertainment industry had done more for African unity than African Unity. He noted that there was a fusion of music, fashion and film.
He noted that there was need for more education and more enlightenment as financial people do not understand creativity.
He assured participants that if they brought value, money will come.
He wanted the government to fix the infrastructure gap.
Emem Ema spoke on where the value is in the Creative Industries. She stated something that caught everyone's attention, 'we take small small eye dey look our industry,' meaning that we are underestimating the potentials in the Creative Industries.
She urged government to provide the enabling environment.
She insisted that for progress to be made, public and private sectors must work together. She noted the multifarious opportunities in the system.
Tom stated that in order to marry money with creativity, the creative people must bring only our best foot forward. There was a need to reach out to the regulators, government, commissioners, directors of culture etc.
Akin stated the need to fund Creative Industries because it is creating value. It is currently employs a lot of labour. He stated that one of the major challenges in government funding is that there are too many organizations doing similar things now or in the past that it has become counterproductive. There must be a strategic framework for government's projects as most of them were not designed properly.
He gave an example where one of the bodies giving the funds, (wrongly) insist of the persons being provided with loans must collaborate with the company they are funding. They do not leave people to carry out their projects the way they deemed fit to enable them achieve results.
He advised people to build and brand their businesses. They should also learn not to think grants all the time as grants actually make people lazy and kill their creativity as people can no longer think outside the box.
He advised government to channel a lot of the funds they give as loans to building infrastructure.
There is need to support capacity as a lot of things are done outside the country.
There is need to recognize where the value chain is going to. There was also great need for collaboration.
He advised that Nigerian creative people not be concerned with just dominating Nigerian market. They should throw their products outside to compete internationally. They should for instance to first of all dominate the African market.
John emphasized that the only reason Business Day will support you is that you are in business.
He emphasized the need for strategic collaboration.
Bank of Industry enlightened the participants on the loans which are available and which they can assess.
At the end of the conference so many things were obvious;
Nigerian Creative Industries can provide the needed income for the country in line with the dwindling oil fortunes.
Nigerian Creative Industries can mop up a lot of unemployed but ready to work youths.
Government must create enabling environment to assist the Creative Industries.
The Creative Industries need space to operate and government can assist greatly in this area.
There is need for excellence on the path of the Creative Industries practitioners.
There is need for collaboration to move the industries forward.
Creative Industries must do all it can to ensure it survives and gives the best value.
Creative Industries practitioners must see their business as money yielding; business that should survive and not see it as 'charity' or not too serious.
By the time the two day conference came to an end, the participants were grateful to British Council for the opportunity to learn and network.
Their only regret was that the Honourable Minister for Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed left almost immediately after giving his talk. One participant hoped that the report can be forwarded to the Honourable Minister for further actions.

U.S. Attorneys for both Oregon and Washington are publically stating that each state's illegal cannabis market is lacking enforcement. Both emphasized that more needs to be done to combat illegal grows and diversion to other states.
In mid-May, Billy Williams, U.S. Attorney for Oregon, issued guidelines in response to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions' decision earlier this year to scrap an Obama-era policy that largely tolerated cannabis in states where the drug is legal. The memo represents the first cannabis policy announcement by a U.S. attorney in a state that has a legal market after Sessions' decision.
Later in May, Annette Hayes, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington, wrote an editorial in The Seattle Times titled, "Washington is breaking its promise to keep the illegal pot market in check." U.S. Attorney Hayes continued by offering a solution directed at the Legislature: "Washington state lawmakers must set aside an increased share of marijuana tax dollars to specifically address combating sophisticated illegal marijuana grow operations." U.S. Attorney Hayes went on to say that Washington needs to show that a regulated cannabis marketplace can address the harms associated with cannabis—such as underage use, substance abuse, and organized crime.
We are tracking this issue closely and will keep you informed as more information becomes available.

Saudi pivot to Europe
LONDON - A week after visiting St Petersburg and signing a number of agreements with the Russian government, a high-level Saudi delegation, led by Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdul-Aziz, travelled to France where arms deals worth $12 billion were signed. Paris also pledged to study a Saudi request to build two nuclear reactors in the kingdom.
In May Saudi Arabia and France set up a committee to finalise a series of projects worth billions of dollars across sectors ranging from defence to transport infrastructure and civil aviation.
Because of its tough stance on Iran, France has been able to maintain strong ties with the Gulf Arab region, particularly with Saudi Arabia. Speaking during the June 24th visit to Paris, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir stressed the importance of Saudi-French ties, describing them as historic and strategic. "We are trying to take them even higher," he said.
The meeting between Saudi and Russian officials a week earlier was a greater source of speculation by analysts because of the current regional situation and inconsistent relations between the two countries. Many viewed the meeting between Mohammed and Putin as a thaw in Saudi-Russian relations.
A number of key agreements, including cooperation on nuclear energy and Saudi Arabia contributing $10 billion to the Russian Direct Investment Fund, were signed during the St Petersburg meetings. The Saudi trip was kept under wraps for months and preceded by a number of phone calls between Putin and Saudi King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud.
Analysts hypothesised on the tone and nature of the St Petersburg talks and the subjects covered, particularly Saudi oil policy and the situation in Syria. Analysts claim that Saudi Arabia's policy of oversupplying the oil market is designed to neutralise the US oil fracking industry but also Tehran and Moscow, which favour oil prices of about $100 per barrel.
"I don't think the Saudis or the Russians are under any illusions that they will be able to negotiate on [oil] price. However, In terms of technical cooperation, that is possible," said Nikolay Kozhanov, a Chatham House analyst.
"First of all. it's not all about oil. The agreements that were signed between Russia and Saudi Arabia [have] mostly to do with technical cooperation. It's about the Saudis investing in the development of Russia's oil and gas sector, while the Russians will be involved in the development of the energy sector in Saudi Arabia."
Kozhanov emphasised that Russia has experience working with Saudi Arabia, for example in the Lukoil project in Rub al Khali, which has been successful for both countries. The Chatham House analyst said that cooperation with the Saudis is important to Moscow because "the Saudis are one of the key players in the region.
Secondly [Saudi Arabia] is one of the key countries in the Muslim world; they also have leverage to affect the situation with Muslim communities in the post-Soviet space.
"So the support of the Saudis or at least their neutrality in questions related to situations in the Russian ummah is also important."
Other analysts see rapprochement as a logical step for both countries.
"I think that, given its eminent position in the Islamic world and the key role it plays in international energy markets, Saudi Arabia's foreign policy has long been global in its orientation," said Fahad Nazer, a terrorism analyst with JTG Inc.
"Therefore it is not a surprise that given Russia's military prowess, and the fact that it is an influential player in the world energy markets in its own right, that the Saudis would want to strengthen their relations with it."
Nazer pointed out that while divergence over Syria led to frosty relations between the countries, the Saudis see Russia as an important global power with which it needs to have solid relations to keep oil prices stable and because it could be a reliable weapons supplier.
"In addition, Russia has shown willingness to assist Saudi Arabia with its civilian nuclear energy programme, for which it has committed close to $80 billion," he added.
Mohammed and Putin also addressed the situation in Syria.
Kozhanov says he does not see Moscow abandoning the Assad regime just yet. "For now it is not an option that's on the table," he said. "In order to stop supporting him, the Russians need a viable alternative that would guarantee the interior integrity of Syria and not have it be overrun by Islamists like a repeat of the Libyan scenario."
Kozhanov said dialogue with the Saudis probably addressed options on how to settle the conflict, mainly the process of government transformation in Syria and the gradual distancing of Russia from Assad.
Regarding whether improved Saudi-Russian relations would be reflective of lingering rift with the United States, Nazer said, "I don't necessarily see it that way.
"While some Saudis have advocated strengthening relations with Russia because they do not come with 'preconditions' — a clear reference to the US — I think the Saudis realise that no single power can replace the US in the region. Its ability to project its military power is proven and remains to be unmatched."
