Oare Marshes

Oare Marshes is a 71.4-hectare (176-acre) Local Nature Reserve north of Faversham in Kent. It is owned and managed by Kent Wildlife Trust. It is part of The Swale Nature Conservation Review site, Grade I, National Nature Reserve, Ramsar internationally important wetland site, Special Protection Area under the European Union Directive on the Conservation of Wild Birds, and Site of Special Scientific Interest. Access Car parking is provided opposite the Watch House, near the sea wall at the end of the Harty Ferry Road. Access is restricted to the public footpath and nature trail to minimise disturbance to roosting, feeding and breeding birds. The whole reserve may be observed from the nature trail and viewing hides. For those who need to use a car or wheelchair, there is a disabled only car park 300m from the hide overlooking the east flood. This hide is wheelchair accessible, and reached along firm level paths. There is also good viewing from the road itself, especially over the east flood. A nature trail leaflet is available on request. Points of interest The reserve consists of over 81 hectares of grazing marsh with freshwater dykes, open water 'scrapes', seawall and saltmarsh on the mainland opposite the Isle of Sheppey. The land, which is known for its tranquil remoteness from nearby Faversham, was used from 1787 until 1916 for the manufacture of gunpowder and the remains of its jetty are still visible. The Harty Ferry to Sheppey previously operated from near the wild-life lookout point on the reserve. The muddy Oare Creek forms the eastern edge of the reserve and lead inland to the village of Oare. The Oare and Faversham Creeks are open for navigation at high tide. There is a history of boat building and repair of historic boats and Thames Sailing Barges in the creeks. Close to Oare village is the Oare Meadow, also operated, like the Oare Marshes reserve by the Kent Wildlife Trust. Birds The reserve is of international importance for migratory, over wintering and breeding wetland birds. Suitable habitat is achieved through manipulation of water levels and livestock grazing. The reserve supports an exciting and diverse range of birds. Amongst the breeding species found here are pied avocet, common redshank, common snipe, northern lapwing, water rail, bearded reedling, common tern and garganey. Migrating species include black-tailed godwit, ruff, little stint, curlew sandpiper and whimbrel. Overwintering species include brent goose, dunlin, Eurasian curlew, Eurasian wigeon, merlin, hen harrier, short-eared owl, Eurasian bittern and twite.

Oare Windmill

Oare Mill is a Grade II listed house converted tower mill in Oare, Kent, England that was built in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. History Oare mill was built in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. It was marked on the 1819–42 Ordnance Survey map and Greenwood's map of 1821. The mill was working until June 1919. There was a steam engine, the boiler of which once exploded and damaged the Mill Cottages and Windmill Inn. Photographs show that the cap was still on the mill in 1952, but the roof had gone by 1963. In that year the derelict mill was converted into a house, retaining some machinery. A new domed polygonal roof fitted to replace the original cap. Description Oare Mill is a five-storey tower mill with a stage at first-floor level. It formerly had four single patent sails carried on a cast-iron windshaft, and a Kentish-style cap.

Oasis Academy John Williams

Oasis Academy John Williams is a secondary school with an academy status in the Hengrove district of Bristol, England. Opened in 2008, it is run by Oasis Community Learning. The academy serves Hengrove and the surrounding areas. A small majority of the students are from one of the most deprived wards in the country, Filwood, and one third of students are eligible for free school meals and thus pupil premium. As of 2013, almost all students are White British and very few speak English as an additional language. History Before 2008, the school was known as Hengrove Community Arts College and then Oasis Academy Bristol, before adopting its current name in September 2010, in tribute of the school's founding Principal, John Williams, who had died of a heart attack. In 2008 the school converted to being an academy and joined the Oasis Community Learning multi-academy trust. The unexpected death of John Williams necessitated a management restructuring, and vice-principal Rebecca Clark became principal at the age of 31, and the youngest head-teacher in the country. The school opened in the former schools building then moved into new-build in July 2010. It serves a deprived area of Bristol. Rebecca Clarke took on the role of national education director and South West regional director for Oasis Community Learning, then in April 2016 became Ofsteds regional commissioner of schools for the South West of England. In 2013 Ofsted rated this a 'Good' school. In 2016 the governors decided not to run a sixth form (Key Stage 5): in a 'short inspection' in 2017, Ofsted confirmed it was still a 'Good' school. Curriculum Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum, and their success is judged on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'. Schools endeavour to get all students to achieve the English Baccalaureate(EBACC) qualification; this must include core subjects a modern or ancient foreign language, and either History or Geography. The academy operates a three-year Key Stage 3. Students arrive from the primary schools with lower than average attainment. In Year 7 and Year 8, they study all core National Curriculum subjects. After a transition period in Year 9, they are guided to select two non-core subjects that they will follow through to GCSE. At Key Stage 4, the focus is on the EBACC and the curriculum is narrowed further; Maths, English and Science plus two options. Spanish is the taught Modern Language. History or geography must be one of the options. Triple science is available by invitation only. References Further reading Clark, Rebecca; Blatchford, Roy (2016).

The trust have guided forty schools out of special measures. 19 per cent of the 52 Oasis academies classified as failing. The trust's founder Reverend Steve Chalke says "Turning round a school is sometimes a quick fix, it really, truly is". Oasis Academy Shirley Park was judged an outstanding school in 2013 and again in 2018 it was a good school but with potential to speedily become outstanding again. Curriculum Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum, and there success is judged on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'. Schools endeavour to get all students to achieve the English Baccalaureate (EBACC) qualification. This must include core subjects a modern or ancient foreign language, and either History or Geography. The academy operates a three-year, Key Stage 3 where all the core National Curriculum subjects are taught. This is a transition period from primary to secondary education, that builds on the skills, knowledge and understanding gained at primary school, and introduces youngsters who are starting from a lower than average base to wider, robust and challenging programmes of study needed to gain qualifications at Key Stage 4. At Key Stage 4 the focus is on the EBACC, and there are daily Maths, English and Science lessons. Spanish is the taught Modern Language. EYFS Key Stage 1 Key Stage 2 This is an all through school where the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) provides stimulating environments where 3- and 4-year-olds can play, explore, experiment, develop confidence, be curiosity to learn through play. The primary section is equivalent to a Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2, or a Primary School. Key Stage 1 is about accustomising the children to the practices of the classroom, number bonds and phonics. The revision of 2014, made the English syllabus concentrate on formal grammar, this is all tested by Key Stage 2 SATs. This is alleged to prepare the student to subject oriented Key Stage 3, and is inspected by Ofsted, but remains controversial. References External links Oasis Academy Shirley Park official website
Bristolská observatoř

Bristolská Observatoř, původně mlýn, nyní využíván jako rozhledna, je umístěna v parku Clifton Down blízko Clifton Suspension Bridge v Bristolu v Anglii. Budova byla vystavěná v roce 1766 jako větrný mlýn na kukuřici, později na šňupací tabák (v angličtině "snuff"), odtud známý jako 'The Snuff Mill'. Ten byl zničen požárem 30. října 1777. Poté byla budova opuštěna 52 let do roku 1828, kdy si ji William West, místní umělec, začal pronajímat za 5 šilinků (25 pencí) ročně jako svůj ateliér. Camera Obscura William West nainstaloval teleskopy a cameru obscuru, které byly používány malíři z Bristol School při tvorbě jejich maleb útesů rokle Avon Gorge a lesa Leigh Woods na druhé straně rokle. Mnoho z těchto obrazů jsou k vidění v Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery. Obrazy, které vznikly použitím camery obscury nazval 'fotogenickými kresbami' a byly založeny na práci Williama Foxe Talbota. Jeskyně West také vybudoval tunel z observatoře do St.Vincent's Cave ('Jeskyně Sv. Vincenta', také známá jako Ghyston's Cave nebo Giant's Cave – "Gystonova/Obrova jeskyně"), která se otevírá na skalním útesu St.Vincent's Rocks ve výšce 76m nad dnem rokle Avon Gorge a 27 metrů pod vrcholem útesu. Vybudování tunelu, který je 61m dlouhý, trvalo dva roky a stálo £1300, poprvé byl otevřen veřejnosti v roce 1837. Jeskyně byla poprvé zmíněna jako kaple v roce 305 n. l. a vykopávky odhalily, že byla považována za svaté místo a úkryt v různých obdobích historie.

Clifton Observatory

Clifton Observatory (grid reference ST564733) is a former mill, now used as an observatory, located on Clifton Down, close to the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England. History The building was erected, with the permission of the Society of Merchant Venturers, as a windmill for corn in 1766 and later converted to the grinding of snuff, when it became known as 'The Snuff Mill'. This was damaged by fire on 30 October 1777, when the sails were left turning during a gale and caused the equipment to catch alight. It was then derelict for 52 years until in 1828 William West, an artist, rented the old mill, for 5 shillings (25p) a year, as a studio. By 1842 West had converted the building into an observatory incorporating reflecting and achromatic telescopes and a camera obscura, charging one shilling for visitors or an annual membership of 10s. 6d. In 1977 the Merchant Venturers sold the observatory to Honorbrook Inns; however, they were obliged to maintain public access to the camera obscura whose ownership was retained by the Merchant Venturers. That same year it was designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building and was on the Buildings at Risk Register from 2011 until its removal from the list in 2014. In February 2015, the observatory was bought by Ian Johnson, a local Clifton-born entrepreneur, who also owns the Clifton Rocks Railway. Camera obscura West installed telescopes and a camera obscura, which were used by artists of the Bristol School to draw the Avon Gorge and Leigh Woods on the opposite side. Many examples of these paintings can be seen in Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery. The pictures which originated from images within the camera obscura he called 'photogenic drawing' and were based on the work of William Fox Talbot. A 5-inch (13 cm) convex lens and sloping mirror were installed on the top of the tower; these project the panoramic view vertically downward into the darkened room below. Visitors view the true image (not a mirror image) on a fixed circular table 5 feet (1.5 m) in diameter, with a concave metal surface, and turn the mirror by hand to change the direction of view. It has been placed on the top of Clifton Tower since 1828. Cave West also built a tunnel from the observatory to St Vincent's Cave (also known as Ghyston's Cave or Giants' Cave), which opens onto St Vincent's Rocks on the cliff face, 250 feet (76 m) above the floor of the Avon gorge and 90 feet (27 m) below the cliff top. The tunnel, which is 200 feet (61 m) long, took two years to build at a cost of £1,300, and first opened to the public in 1837. This cave was first mentioned as being a chapel in the year AD 305 and excavations, in which Romano-British pottery has been found, have revealed that it has been both a holy place and a place of refuge at various times in its history. Although the cave is in limestone, there are few formations in the natural passages. See also Grade II* listed buildings in Bristol The Downs (Bristol) References External links Clifton Observatory
Ockbrook School

Ockbrook School was an independent coeducational day and boarding school for children aged 3–18 years situated in rural Derbyshire between the cities of Nottingham and Derby. Boarding was for boys and girls from age 11–18 years. On Monday 7 June 2021 the school announced it was closing at the end of the summer term. Ockbrook was founded by the Moravian Church and its Christian heritage is evidenced by its school emblem, which features the Agnus Dei, and the school motto, which is also the motto of the Church. History Ockbrook was founded in 1799 by the Moravian Church and continued to maintain a Christian ethos. The school was originally a ladies' school and the boys' school did not open until 1813. It became a girls-only school in 1915. The primary section later became coeducational, although this was later extended throughout the school. The Church continued to be responsible for the school but in the later years responsibility was exercised largely through the school's local board of governors. A history of the school was published in 2000 as part of the bicentenary celebrations (1799–1999). In March 2012 the board of governors announced the decision to extend the 11+ intake to boys beginning in September 2013 as a step towards coeducation. The school was fully coeducational from September 2016. Buildings The main building in the school, referred to as "main school" was used for most lessons and housed the English, Maths, Humanities and Languages departments, along with other smaller classrooms for 6th form use. The main school also provided form rooms for years 7–13. The Grange was a primary building located near to the main school, next to the Birtill Hall (named after a previous Head Teacher.) The Mount was a further primary building, housing nursery and years 1, and 2. Pupils moved over to The Grange for years 3, 4, 5 and 6. The school also had a Sports Complex, Arts and Technology complex (named Mallalieu Centre), Music block, Lecture Theatre and Science complex (opened in 2003). The school also operated 3 boarding houses: Mews, Liley House and Broadstairs located on the campus. Closure On 7 June 2021, the school announced to staff, students and parents that the school would close at the end of the summer term. On 8 June the school announced that it remained "significantly loss-making", a situation made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic As of 31 March 2024, the school's former grounds are set to be converted to encampments for the Over The Wall charity starting in 2026.
