It is located near the border of the London Borough of Harrow, and accepts pupils from both boroughs. The school has had great success in recent years, offering highly valued GCSEs such as statistics and business studies with most of its students achieving 70% A-A*. Although predominantly Roman Catholic, the school accepts some pupils from other religions too, But mainly followers of catholicism. Previously a voluntary aided school, in January 2016 St Gregory's Catholic Science College converted to academy status and is now sponsored by the All Saints' Trust. In 2023, the school was found to have potentially structurally unsound buildings due to the use of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete as a building material.

Greyfriars Catholic School

Greyfriars Catholic School is a mixed Roman Catholic secondary school with academy status, located in Cowley, Oxfordshire, England. At the end of the 2021–22 academic year, the school was renamed from St Gregory the Great Catholic School. It is one of only two state-funded Catholic schools offering secondary education in that county, the other being Blessed George Napier Roman Catholic School in Banbury. The previous executive principal John Hussey, joined the school as acting headteacher in 2008. He later was appointed to the role of permanent headteacher in the spring term of 2009. The school converted to academy status in April 2013, and became the lead school in the Dominic Barberi Multi-Academy Company a month later. In June 2020 however, St Gregory's, along with several of the other schools formerly in the Dominic Barberi Multi-Academy Company joined the Pope Francis Multi-Academy Company. Previously, in January 2018 the school announced that the Principal and Vice Principal were "currently on leave", with a new temporary head standing in. Funding for new buildings Until funding for the new buildings was finalized in 2006, the school existed on two sites: the Cardinal Newman Middle School on Cricket Road, and St Augustine's, Iffley Turn, Oxford. However, after receiving a £20,000,000 grant from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Birmingham, the current buildings were built. Work began in March 2014 on the adjacent former Cricket Road Centre to convert it into the school's new primary school, for children aged 4–11. However, in October 2020 the primary phase of the school was formally split from St Gregory's, becoming St Frideswide Church of England Primary School. St Gregory's continues to be a Catholic school for secondary age pupils. Progress In a Section 8 Ofsted report, in December 2015, the Inspector found that 'senior leaders and governors are taking effective action to tackle areas requiring improvement identified in the March 2015 Section 5 inspection in order to become a good school.' In the earlier report published in April 2015, the school was described as "Requires Improvement", although Early Years provision and the sixth form were rated "Good". That report had cited low expectations of pupils as the reason for attainment being below the national average. GCSE results released in January 2016 show the school has the lowest GCSE attainment out of all state schools in Oxfordshire by percentage of students receiving 5A* to C including English and Maths. This fell year on year to 43% of students achieving the government's GCSE benchmark. In May 2017 the school was placed into Special Measures by Ofsted Inspectors found that a 'small minority of pupils seriously misbehave and a greater number regularly disrupt lessons'. In January 2021 the school applied for a "New Start" academy conversion, meaning previous Ofsted Reports and performance measures were disassociated with the new school. In October 2023, the school received a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. References

St Helen's Church, Wheathampstead

St Helen's Church is the oldest church in Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire, England, although the date of its origins is unknown. The wooden Anglo-Saxon structure pre-dated the Norman conquest of England, but no records survive which establish the date upon which it was founded. It is a Grade I listed building. Restoration was begun during the early part of the 13th century, the original Saxon church having become dilapidated. The chancel was rebuilt and lengthened in around 1238. The east window triple lancets which still survive in the structure today date from this time as do the window and doorway with its dog-tooth decoration on the north side of the sanctuary. However, from the Lincoln Cathedral Registry—Wheathampstead fell with the See of Lincoln until 1845—the building of the central tower dates to about 1290 AD, which is the first definitive date that can be ascribed to the church. St. Helen's is built of flint rubble, or Totternhoe clunch, with flint facings and limestone dressings. There being no stone of this type in the area, it is thought that the medieval builders used stone from the Midland quarries shipped down the Great Ouse to Bedford and from there conveyed by horse and cart along the Roman roads to Wheathampstead. Within the church is a statue dedicated to the memory of Apsley Cherry-Garrard, the polar explorer, who is buried in the north-west corner of the churchyard. Also buried in the churchyard is British journalist, author and WWI correspondent William Beach Thomas. References External links Official website

St Helens Fort

St Helens Fort is a sea fort in the Solent close to the Isle of Wight, one of the Palmerston Forts near Portsmouth. It was built as a result of the Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom of 1859, in order to protect the St Helens anchorage. The fort was designed by Captain E. H. Stewart, overseen by Assistant Inspector General of Fortifications, Colonel W. F. D. Jervois. Construction began in 1865 and was completed in 1878, at a cost of £123,311. It suffered badly from subsidence which forced many changes to the plans, ending up with two 10-inch 18-ton rifled muzzle-loading (RML) guns to landward and one 12.5-inch 38-ton RML gun to seaward. The other sea forts, all larger, are Spitbank Fort, Horse Sand Fort and No Man's Land Fort. The Solent Forts - often known as "Palmerston's Follies" - were built in response to a French invasion scare under Louis Napoleon III. This was due in part to the doctrines of the Jeune École of French naval thinking, which emphasised attacking ports with small craft, instead of fleet action, as well as the launch of the first ironclad warship, the Gloire. The threat of war with France receded after the Franco-Prussian War in 1870-71 ended in French defeat. The forts were later used for defence in both World War I and WWII, although the heavier armaments proved unpopular with local householders due to the concussion breaking windows during firing practice. A National Trust report states that during WW II, it was "used as a searchlight and anti-aircraft gun platform". Subsequently their main useful role has been as navigational lighthouses. Periodically (often in August), on one of the lowest tides of the year, there is a mass walk from St Helens beach out to the fort and back. At this day the causeway appears from the sea upon which the original materials were carried out from the shore at St Helen's Old Church, where there was formerly a quarry. Access is from this point, but also along the spit from Bembridge. It has become traditional to hold a barbecue on the beach thereafter. This event is entirely spontaneous but safety boat services are provided by local yacht clubs and the RNLI. The fort is now in private hands and not open to the public. It was offered for sale in 2003. Any private resident would not have access to local authority services, although it has its own artesian well. As of 2020, Spitbank, No Man's Land and Horse Sand Forts were also privately owned (by Clarenco); the first two had been converted into hotels after a major restoration.

St Hilda's Church, Hartlepool

St Hildas Church is the parish church of Hartlepool, County Durham, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. The church is located in Old Hartlepool on the Headland. It is one of the many visible buildings on Hartlepools skyline. Clifton-Taylor includes it in his list of "best" English parish churches and describes it as "a glory of Early English architecture in its earliest and purest phase" and as an "architectural gem". The tower contains three bells hung for change ringing, all cast in 1819 by Thomas II Mears, however these are considered 'unringable' as the tower is thought to be too weak to deal with the forces associated with change ringing.

The Diocese persuaded St Hilda's to become comprehensive in 1980 with a four-form intake, and numbers have subsequently increased to 863 with a large sixth form. On becoming Grant Maintained in January 1995, the school began a building programme to improve its educational facilities, and this continued after returning to Voluntary Aided status with the addition of a Drama Studio and new library, officially opened on 15 April 2005. For ninety years, St Hilda's only had women headteachers until 1980 when Mr Dawson arrived at the school, serving one of the longest periods. In 1997 he retired, leaving the school in the care of headteacher Christopher Yates. In 2009 Yates retired and Eleanor Benson, the former head of the sixth form, became acting headmistress. In 2016 Jo Code became headmistress. In September 2015 the school became a coeducational school with 56 boys and 94 girls in that year's intake. References
