Wyedean School

Wyedean School and Sixth Form Centre is a secondary school with academy status in Sedbury, Gloucestershire, England, just across the border from Chepstow, Wales. Wyedean School was rated 'Good' by OfSTED in January 2018. The school is close to the A48 road and less than a mile from the Welsh border and as such, it accepts students from across the border. Wyedean School is a mixed comprehensive school, with 1,100 students, including 300 in the Sixth Form. It was first set up in 1973 and was then moved in 1976 to its present location. The school is located in Gloucestershire, and falls within the English, not Welsh, education system. Although the majority of its students live in the Forest of Dean area of England, a significant number travel from within Wales. It was also the school of J. K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series. Facilities The school has a sports hall which can be rented in the evenings; a learning resource centre with IT facilities; a canteen, where hot and cold food can be purchased; a music suite, equipped with computers linked to recording equipment; and a Design Technology Block. The Sixth Form block has been built to accommodate increased numbers of A-Level students. The Big Bean Café opened 2016, which allows students (including one apprenticeship) to learn how to become a barista. Admittance to Wyedean School and Sixth Form Centre is non-denominational and Wyedean accepts both male and female students between the ages of 11 and 18. Wyedean currently has around 1,100 students (02/2019). Staff The Principal of Wyedean is Gwennan Jeremiah. Julie Smith is the Vice Principal (Academic) Jodie Howells is the Vice-Principal (Finance and Business) and Dai Thomas is the Vice-Principal (Pastoral). Sixth Form The Sixth Form has two Head Boys and two Head Girls, known as 'The Team Leaders'. Every year a new set of team leaders is elected to represent the students, by the students. The Team Leaders also head a network of teams within the sixth form. Notable students J. K. (Joanne) Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books, was Head Girl in 1982. Her mother, Anne Rowling, had worked there as a technician in the Science Department from 1978. During July 2006, the school library was dedicated to J. K. Rowling. Although she has made it clear that she did not always enjoy her time at Wyedean, citing teachers and loneliness, her website states that she and her sister "both loved their school days" there. She has stated that the character of Professor Snape was partly based on a chemistry teacher who taught at the school, understood to be John Nettleship. One of her teachers, Tim Ryan, has also said that he believes that other teachers were a direct influence on some of her characters. When she returned to the area in 2001 to film part of a biographical TV programme, she visited the nearby Tutshill Primary School but did not pay a visit to Wyedean. Welsh actor Owain Yeoman, who stars in the US series, The Mentalist, was a student at Wyedean School, as was singer and songwriter Violet Skies. References External links Official Website

Wythburn Church

Wythburn Church is situated in an isolated location beside the A591 road, on the eastern bank of Thirlmere in Cumbria, England. It is an active Anglican church in the deanery of Derwent, the archdeaconry of West Cumberland, and the diocese of Carlisle. Its benefice is united with those of St Mary, Threlkeld, and St John, St John's in the Vale. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The poet William Wordsworth described it as a "modest house of prayer". History A church is recorded as being on the site in 1554. It was rebuilt in 1640, and again in 1740. A chancel with an apse was added in 1872, possibly by C. J. Ferguson. The size of the local population was greatly reduced when the adjacent valley was flooded to create Thirlmere Reservoir by the Manchester Corporation. However, the church remains in active use. Architecture Wythburn Church is small—only approximately 585 square feet (54.3 m2) inside—with whitewashed walls, and small square side windows. It is roofed in green slates. The plan consists of a three-bay nave, a slightly taller apse at the east end, and a north vestry. On the west gable is a bellcote. At the west end is a triple lancet window, and the apse and vestry contain narrow round-headed windows. Inside the church is an open timber roof. The altar, choir stalls and screen are in the Arts and Crafts style. The stained glass in the west window, dated 1889, was designed by Temple Moore. The centre window in the apse, dating from 1892, was designed by Henry Holiday for Powells, and the glass in the windows to the sides of this is dated 1906 and was designed by Hugh Arnold.

Wyvern College, Eastleigh

Wyvern College is a coeducational secondary school with academy status for students in the villages of Fair Oak, Bishopstoke, Horton Heath, Upham and Durley in southern Hampshire. The college is for students aged 11–16 and post-16 students go on to local sixth form colleges such as Barton Peveril and Eastleigh College, which are located in the neighbouring town of Eastleigh. It currently has over 1300 students, 95 teaching staff and 80 support staff. History The original village school in Fair Oak at Fair Oak Court catered for pupils aged 5 to 14. In 1935 a new school was built on the Infants School site, and pupils continued at this school until 1958 when it was decided that the 248 pupils should attend a newly created secondary school in Eastleigh. They were joined by Bishopstoke pupils as other Eastleigh secondary schools were overcrowded. As the school was now sited outside its catchment area, all pupils had to travel to and from by bus. Originally, the new school was known as the Eastleigh Secondary School, but within a year the new Headmaster, Robert Blachford, chose the distinctive name of Wyvern with the motto "Advance". This heraldic dragon has been connected with Wessex since Tudor times and formed the crest of Sir Francis Drake; it also featured on the badge of Blachford's Wessex regiment. However, accommodation became a problem at the Wyvern County Secondary School, and in 1966 the Wyvern arose again at Fair Oak, in the centre of the catchment area which also included the villages of Colden Common, Durley, Horton Heath and Upham. The number on roll had risen to 750. The new school buildings, designed for 450 pupils, were not large enough and the old school in Eastleigh became known as "the Annexe", with a whole year group being bused to and fro each day. The school leaving age was increased to 16, new courses were introduced and Fair Oak became an increasingly popular residential area. By 1976 the school roll was 1200 and the teaching staff had increased from 10 to 60. However, it was in 1978 before there was sufficient accommodation and "the Annexe" was no longer needed. Subsequently, throughout the 80's and 90's, all departments were gradually enlarged and suited to facilitate the delivery of the changing curricula. In 1985, the then headmaster George Davies achieved community status for the school. Information Technology then developed rapidly and started to form an integral part of every student's learning experiences and in September 2000, the school was awarded specialist school status and became Wyvern Technology College. The college converted to an academy in June 2012, changing its name to Wyvern College at the same time. Wyvern College has been credited in the past with several national achievements in music, drama and art such the Music for Youth semi-final place earned by the Wyvern Soul Band in July 2015.

Xscape Milton Keynes features a 170 m (560 ft) long real-snow ski slope, a 16-screen cinema, a number of shops and restaurants, a casino and a trampoline park. The two large funnels on the front of the building are sometimes mistaken for lifts or part of the cooling system; in fact they are stairs. Located directly behind the Xscape building is the iFLY indoor skydiving centre. Xscape Yorkshire Xscape Yorkshire is in Glasshoughton and opened in October 2003 with a footprint of approx 5,500 square metres (59,200 sq ft).

Yalding House

Yalding House is a building at 152–156 Great Portland Street, London, United Kingdom. It was formerly owned by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), and from 1952 until 2013 housed the corporation's music department. The BBC Central Music Library was located on the ground floor and basement: the building's former role as a car showroom made it ideal for the heavy shelving required to store the collection. The BBC Third Programme, later renamed Radio 3, was also based at Yalding House. It became the home of BBC Radio 1, together with Newsbeat, in 1996 when the Radio 1 studios were moved from Egton House. BBC Radio 1Xtra was launched at Yalding House. On 14 December 2012, Radio 1 broadcast its last show from Yalding House which was The Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw. Studios Yalding House contained five studios which were used to broadcast shows on Radio 1 and 1Xtra. Studio Y1 - used mainly for production. Studio Y2 - used by The Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw, The Official Chart with Reggie Yates, Scott Mills and Greg James. Studio Y3 - used by Fearne Cotton, Zane Lowe and Huw Stephens. Studios Y4 & Y5 - used mainly by 1Xtra, but occasionally by Radio 1, as needed. References External links Egton House and Yalding House information at Radio Rewind
Yalding Organic Gardens

Yalding Gardens were demonstration gardens open to the public near Yalding, Kent in April 1995. Originally established by the organic gardening charity HDRA (now called Garden Organic), the gardens were established to show a range of organically maintained kitchen and other garden types throughout history. Visitors could explore the history of gardening through 18 gardens set in five acres of Kent countryside. The 13th-century apothecary's garden and Victorian artisan's glasshouse demonstrated the unique results yielded through organic gardening methods. In 2007, the gardens were closed due to lack of funding. However, in 2008, the site was leased by its owners, the Congelow Trust, to Maro Foods, but it was closed again in December 2009. The gardens re-opened as “The Yalding Gardens and Bushel Box Farmshop and Cafe” on 12 June 2010–only to close again in October 2011. Since 2017 it has been a spring and summer wedding venue The Gardens Yalding. The 'Friends of Yalding Organic Gardens' (FOYOG) has been formed with the aim of trying to secure a sound and sustainable future for the Gardens, and their website can be found at www.foyog.org References Garden Organic Official Site - 'Our Gardens Page' Archived 24 July 2010 at the Wayback Machine About Britain - Yalding Archived 2 June 2008 at the Wayback Machine Land Register Online Archived 12 November 2008 at the Wayback Machine Garden Friends' Website Official Website Archived 7 June 2010 at the Wayback Machine
