Tower Hamlets Local History Library and Archives

Tower Hamlets Local History Library and Archives is a facility provided by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets to enable members of the public to consult books and records in their collection. It is located at Bancroft Road Library. The facility is located in a building which was formerly the Mile End Old Town Vestry Hall built in 1861. The building was converted into a library in 1902, then adapted with an extension in 1906 with money from Andrew Carnegie. Threat of closure in 2008 The lending library vacated the building in 2005 with the opening of the first Idea Store in Whitechapel. In 2008 the Library and Archives were then under threat from a proposal to close the library. A community campaign was started to save the library with a meeting held on 27 September 2008 to urge Councillors not to proceed with the plans. This was addressed by Stan Newens (local historian and former MEP), Bernard Kops and Jerry White. The campaign was ultimately successful. References External links Official website

Buttershaw Business and Enterprise College is a co-educational secondary school located in the Buttershaw area of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. History It opened on 3 September 1956 as Buttershaw Secondary School, with only one three storey teaching block as it was only half built. The initial intake was 300 children and 12 staff. Mr H E Cooke was the first headmaster. Over the next seven years a house block, theatre and swimming pool were added with an official opening in 1964. The school was built to accommodate the baby boom caused by the large number of children born after the end of the Second World War. It was renamed Buttershaw Comprehensive School, and over the years it evolved into an Upper, then High School, removing its pool for an AstroTurf field. On 23 September 2006 over 100 pupils from the first intake of 1956 met at the Cedar Court Hotel, Bradford to celebrate the school's Golden Anniversary. In the 2007 Queens Birthday Honours list David Kershaw, the school's first head boy (1956), was made a CBE for his services to education. 2008 saw the opening of the new building. As the new building was opened the school was renamed Buttershaw Business and Enterprise College because of its new specialist status. Buttershaw Business and Enterprise College became a foundation school administered by the Buttershaw Learning and Achievement Trust and Bradford City Council. However, in September 2016 the school converted to academy status and is now sponsored by the Bradford Diocesan Academies Trust. Academics 'There is variability in the experience of pupils at the school'. Unfortunately, Buttershaw routinely underperforms in national examinations, with a progress 8 score of -0.83 (well below average) and a grade 5 GCSE pass rate of 21.4%, just over half of the national average. Buttershaw offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, however the sixth form is now closed.

This is an improvement from the previous inspection grade of 'Inadequate'.
