Regent Estate

Regent Estate is a housing estate in Hackney located in the London Borough of Hackney. The estate is named in reference to the nearby Regent's Canal, which was commissioned by the Prince Regent who later became King George IV. It is adjacent to, but distinct from, the Regents Court Estate. Housing The estate comprises council housing built in the late 1970s and early 1980s and owned or by the London Borough of Hackney. The estate is a mix of terraced houses, purpose built flats in smaller blocks, with 3 large blocks of flats on Broke Walk, Marlborough Avenue and an additional block on Brownlow Road that was included as part of the estate in 2006. As terraced houses have been sold under the right to buy scheme, this has resulted in a mixed ownership of freeholders, long leaseholders, council tenants and Housing Association tenants. Facilities The estate has three community buildings: The Regent Estate Community Centre/Hall, The Regent Estate Pensions Club/Hall and The Regent Estate Community Office. The latter is used by Hackney Homes Cleaning Services. The estate is served by the Ozen Supermarket. The estate houses the Workshop 44 gallery, based in a shop space which stood shuttered up for over a decade. After petitioning by the Tenants and Residents Association and with the help of Hackney Homes Residents Participation office, and the London Olympics Arts in Derelict Spaces funding the space was turned into a multimedia arts gallery run by Rolemop. Clear Village were then invited to perform a study for the estate and then also took over the management of the shop as Clear Villages first Small Works initiative. References

History Salesian education in Battersea There is a history of Salesian education in Battersea. St John Bosco College is situated on the site of its predecessor school Salesian College which was founded in 1895 in Battersea, London by the religious order of the Salesians of Don Bosco. They had first arrived in Battersea in 1887 as part of Don Bosco's dream to establish a Salesian presence in Great Britain and the British Empire, with its missionary potential. The parish church of Sacred Heart adjacent to the school was first built in 1875 and the first Salesians who arrived in 1887 were Fr. Edward McKiernan, Fr. Charles Macey and Br. Rossaro. Salesian College closed in August 2011, under the Headship of Stephen McCann, to open St. John Bosco College A new Roman Catholic School for Wandsworth The school was established to provide a single, co-educational, Roman Catholic School in the Borough of Wandsworth by its joint Trustees; the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark and the Salesians of Don Bosco. St John Bosco College opened in September 2011 with Dr. Simon Uttley as Headteacher. Dr. Uttley was succeeded by Mr Paul Dunne as Head in January 2017. The school was initially located on the site of the former John Paul II School while the new building was constructed in Battersea. The school moved to its present site in October 2015. The move came under criticism due to the use of the old site for housing developments instead of a new primary school as campaigners had sought, citing the shortage of huge numbers of school places in the area. The Salesian Family St. John Bosco College is part of the worldwide family of Salesian schools. The Salesians have over 3000 schools in more than 130 countries worldwide. St. John Bosco College has five sister schools in England in Bolton, Bootle, Chertsey, Croxteth and Farnborough.

Summerhill School, Kingswinford

Summerhill School is a mixed community secondary school located in Kingswinford, West Midlands, England. History The school was built by Brierley Hill Urban District Council in 1961, and serves an area of Kingswinford which was mostly developed after the Second World War. The catchment for the school is bounded in the south by Lawnswood Road (Wordsley), in the east by Stream Road and Moss Grove (Kingswinford) and in the north and west by the county boundary between West Midlands and Staffordshire. The 1961 buildings became increasingly dilapidated during the 1990s but by September 2003 the entire school had been rebuilt. One remaining building from the old complex, built in 1993 and known as C Block remained after the demolition of the old school and was the subject of a bid to save it from demolition and reopen as a community arts centre. The plan was developed but opposition from Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council prevented the plans from going ahead. C Block remained standing for five years until 5 November 2008, when the roof was destroyed in an arson attack. The building was finally demolished in 2011 and now acts as a parking area. Positioning of the county boundary sign on the A4101 in the early 1980s gave the impression that half of the tennis/netball courts and 2/3 of one of the football pitches were in the county of Staffordshire rather than West Midlands. The sign was moved sometime in the 1990s, aligning it with the west edge of the school grounds. Had this not happened, it would have meant that the new school building would have appeared to be in two counties. The school had a sixth form until July 1991. Performance It is among the best performing secondary schools in the Dudley borough, with 78% of GCSE students gaining 5 or more A*-C grades in 2010. This placed it higher than any other state school in the borough, only exceeded by Old Swinford Hospital state boarding school. References External links Summerhill School official website
Russells Hall Estate

The Russells Hall Estate is a residential area of Dudley, West Midlands, England, approximately one mile to the west of Dudley town centre. On Ordnance Survey maps the area appears as Russell's Hall. History The estate was once the grounds to Russells Hall, a large country house. The hall stood on the land until the early 1800s, where Grange Park is now. The area was extensively mined for coal during the Industrial Revolution, which meant the district became highly industrialised in the heyday of the Black Country's industrial past. This process ceased in about 1950 when the local council earmarked the area for housing development, to rehouse hundreds of families from the dilapidated 19th-century terraces in the town centre around The Inhedge and Stafford Street. The land at Russells Hall was then made safe and allowed to settle until house building commenced. The first house was completed and let in 1958, and by 1966 the estate was complete, consisting of several hundred council houses and flats as well as some private houses, mostly around Scott's Green Close on the south side of the estate. Several more private and council properties, including about 30 council bungalows, were added in the 1970s around Middlepark Road. Until the creation of the traffic island near Russells Hall Hospital, it was possible to see part of the blocked-up portal of a bridge which took a railway line under Kingswinford Road. Services and facilities The estate is served by several schools including Russells Hall Primary School on Overfield Road and the Pegasus Academy on Scotts Green Close. Sutton School, a special school, is also on Scotts Green Close. The area is served by Russells Hall Hospital, a general hospital which stands on Pensnett Road to the south of the estate. A large area of public open space, known as Russells Hall park, exists around the centre of the estate and in 2005 was earmarked by Dudley council as a possible site for mass housing development. The park has a children's play area, skatepark and a non-turf cricket pitch. See also Gornal Wren's Nest Estate Kates Hill Estate Kingswinford Guest Hospital Old Swinford Hospital School References
