STAFF NEWS NEWS of PAST and PRESENT

TEACHERS

Former LUS History teacher, Julian Foynes’

recent book is a 200-page illustrated

paperback called East Anglia Against the

Tricolor 1789-1815 – an English Region against

Revolutionary and Napoleonic France.

It’s published by Poppyland Publishing.

Former Head of English, Chris Owens curates

the gallery at Southwark Cathedral in London.

It was lovely to have past teachers attend

the annual Latymerians’ Dinner in November:

Robert Orme (History of Art), Chris Hammond

(ex-Asst. Head & Chemistry), Graham Bearman

(ex-Head of History) Ian Barr (Chemistry) and

Mike PERCICK (1967), (ex-Head of PE) all attend

the annual Latymerians’ Dinner in November.

Stuart Dorrian, Principal of Latymer’s Prep

School, has announced his retirement for

next July. Anyone who has tributes or would

like to send him good wishes can send them

to him at the Prep or via the Development

Office. The Governors are pleased to announce

that, following a rigorous selection process,

they have appointed Ms Andrea Rutterford

as Principal of Latymer Prep for the next

academic year. Ms Rutterford is currently

Deputy Head at Devonshire House, a large

co-ed prep school in Hampstead.

The Latymer community has generously

supported the School over the years:

donations from alumni, parents, staff

and friends have helped us to increase

bursary provision and to improve

facilities, enhancing the education we

offer current and future generations of

Latymerians. We would like to make sure

that we can carry on this tradition of

philanthropy to ensure Latymer continues

to prepare young people from all

backgrounds to be happy and proactive

member of the global community.

In 2015 there was a great deal of news

coverage about the unfortunate Olive

Cook and charity fundraising practices

in general: in response, the Government

commissioned Sir Stuart Etherington to

review fundraising regulation. One of his

main recommendations, the creation of

the Fundraising Preference Service, will

give the public the opportunity to opt out

of communication from specific charities,

including post, email and telephone calls.

As we are a registered charity, we will be

covered by this new rule.

In addition to this, the new General Data

Protection Regulation (GDPR) will come

into force in 2018 and will replace the

1998 Data Protection Act. To comply with

the new law, the School will need your

consent to contact you. You will have to

opt in, rather than opting out, and will

have to let us know how you would like

us to communicate with you.

So that we comply with the GDPR by

2018, we will, within the next 12 months,

send you a form to complete or may

call you to confirm that you are happy

for us to carry on keeping in contact

with you: inviting you to events, updating

you about our fundraising priorities

and plans for the future, sharing School

news and sending you your copy of

Latymerian.

■ Lola Boddington-Rees, Julia Reinstein and Honor Granville (L6), will be attending the Round Square International Conference between the 10th and 16th of October in Germany, where Latymer Upper will be officially presented to King Constantine of the Hellenes as a full Global Member of Round Square.

■ Fencing champion, Josh Willcox (Yr 11) has been selected for Team GB’s Cadet Team.

LATYMERIANS AT WESTMINSTER Two Latymerians, Simon JOSIFFE (1985), Education Officer at the Supreme Court, and our local MP, Andy SLAUGHTER (1978), gave a party of our Sixth Formers a fascinating insight into the workings of daily politics last term when they visited Parliament and the Court; seeing parliamentary committees examining Brexit issues.

UGANDA 40 Latymer students, after months of preparation and fundraising £22,000, along with their 88 bags of luggage including donations of clothes arrived in Kampala, Uganda in the October half term to visit the M-Lisada orphanage, which is home to the eight pupils sponsored by Latymer. Our students received a wonderful welcoming dance show, concert and gymnastics display and they spent time getting to know the children. During the trip they visited the Hidden Treasure Primary School and the Mummy Foundation, which supports teenage mothers and their children. The students visited the new building, which Latymer helped fund in 2014. A highlight was the trip to the impoverished region of Jinja, on Lake Victoria. Here the students spent time at the Lukolo Primary School painting buildings and classrooms, taking part in art and craft sessions at the Soft Power Education Centre (SPEC) and visiting the Kyoma school for children with special needs to join in with their sport and games.

They visited the remote Kasozi Primary School, where six Latymer 6th Form girls lived for a month in 2014 while working with SPEC and our donations have funded the building of a new classroom block. Finally, the group visited the Tender Talents Magnet School, a secondary school specialising in music and performing arts near Kampala, where their students put on displays of art, science, welding, music, catering, sewing and sport. A finale Brass For Africa Concert, featuring students from M-Lisada, Tender Talents and Reading Blue Coats School was an absolutely joyous concert, with everyone joining in the singing and dancing. After their busy schedule the students enjoyed a safari at the stunning Murchison Falls National Park.

LATYMER HOSTS FIRST ‘FUTURE SKILLS’ DEBATE ON DYNAMICS OF 21st CENTURY WORKPLACE The Head welcomed a packed Main Hall to Latymer Upper’s inaugural Future Skills event last term. Latymerians, parents and pupils from Latymer and our partner schools gathered to hear a panel of Europe’s leading industry experts, entrepreneurs, investors, start-up specialists and academics discuss one of the big issues of our time – how will future careers be affected by new disruptive technologies? An impressive panel line-up led to a lively debate. Follow the debate at #LatFS16

SWIMMING Fantastic results for Latymer’s junior girls at the English Schools’ Swimming Association’s national relay championships! Our winning team put in an outstanding performance, taking Gold for their freestyle relay and Silver in the medley!

PREP SCHOOL Val Arnold-Forster who lived in the Prep’s Rivercourt House before it became part of Latymer visited her family’s former home with her niece, Sally Mitchison. Val was the youngest child of Naomi Mitchison, who owned the property and was a progressive thinker and author of many books in the mid twentieth century. Val spoke about the house at that time, revealing that she was born in what is now the Prep’s Assembly Room!

RECENT LEAVERS’ RECEPTION

In early September, the Classes of 2015 and 2011 met up in the Prep Garden for a reunion, which included tours of the new Sports Centre and hearing School news from the Head. It was good to hear all the news of university life from the Class of 2015 and of the exciting working lives of the Class of 2011. The Prep garden on a late summer’s evening proved to be a delightful venue for such events.

LATYMERIANS’ GOLF DAY 2016 Splendid weather and a course in fine condition contributed to an excellent day out at Hoebridge GC on 27 May. Gary Rose, a guest

TWENTY YEARS OF LATYMERIAN WOMEN

In 1996 the School made the momentous decision to

admit girls into the sixth form and has never looked back!

To celebrate this twenty-year anniversary, we held a party

in the newly refurbished Main Hall and many Latymerian

women returned to remember their time here.

We were entertained by the performer and singer,

Bishi BHATTERCHARYA (2001) and heard an

inspiring keynote speech by Francesca BORMAN (née

SALUSSOLIA 2000) who light-heartedly and fondly

remembered life as a sixth form student. The Head

and Chris Chivers (ex-Head of Sixth) both spoke of

the success of co-education at Latymer; a journey that

began two decades ago. It was a fun-filled occasion with

many women re-connecting with their former teachers

and with each other.We were entertained by the performer and singer,

Bishi BHATTERCHARYA (2001) and heard an and with each other.

CELEBRATING JOINING SCHOOL 50 YEARS AGO!

A lunch for the Class of 1973, who tipped up on their first day in September 1966, organised by Professor Jim SMITH was

held last September. Their reminiscences took place against a background of a downloaded mix of 1966-67 pop hits and

many had brought photos to share of those good old days, when long hair ruled. The School Archive was also visited and

helped many to recall amusing incidents, fond memories, and reminded them of some of their inspiring teachers.

NORTH AMERICA

A tour of 5 cities in 8 days; that was the itinerary that saw Latymer’s leaders meet around 100 Latymerians in the mid-west and on the east coast of North America in October. At each event the Head, David Goodhew spoke, updating guests on the School’s latest news and on our vision to increase our bursarial support, via means-tested awards, to ensure by 2024 that a quarter of the School will be supported. Whilst far from matching the halcyon days of the Direct Grant or Assisted Place Schemes it is an increasingly significant offer to ensure a rich diversity of young talent is recruited in to the pupil body.

The Canadian Latymerian Council hosted a brunch in Toronto’s Cricket, Curling and Skating Club. Then flying on to Chicago, where an evening gathering was held and enjoyed in a restaurant, Club Lago. The party then split: Nigel was joined by Jennifer Evans Casey at ChangSho in Boston’s Portman Sq., whilst Head, David Goodhew and Amanda Scott (Director of Development) attended a dinner at Washington’s University Club hosted by Joel POZNANSKY (1976). The finale was all recombining for a drinks reception at Manhattan’s Links Club, hosted by Jamie GRANT (1976).

Trevor JONES (1955) aided by fellow council members Hugh GRANT (1960), David HAVARD (1955), David STILES (1957) and Jimson BIENENSTOCK (1982) laid on a sumptuous brunch in Toronto attended by 24. Medal of merit goes to Evan LANGMUIR (2015), a McGill undergrad, who endured a five-hour rail trip to join this event. Rory CURTIS (1981), representing US Friends of Latymer (USFOL), travelled over from upper NY State to join the fun.

The Council has a trust, Canadian Friends of Latymer, which allows Canadian tax payers to donate towards Latymer’s bursary programme in a tax efficient manner.

In America, the Board of USFOL sponsor a sixth form bursary, via their 501(3)c, which allows tax-efficient giving.

The Chicago gathering was the first on the US schedule and it played out against the back drop of the first play-off game between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians in the Baseball World Series.

Both teams had not reached this final for decades so all of Chicago was focussed on the ball game. Nevertheless, a really enjoyable gathering was led by Michael FREEMAN (1969) at our own fourth base.

A mixing of ages was achieved at all the gatherings as veterans socialised with more recent leavers. For example, in ChangSho conversations engaged a range of Latymerians from Nat BALLARD (2015), studying at Boston College where he is on their soccer squad, to Derek LANE-SMITH (1952) who joined Latymer in 1945 and is now President of Durridge Engineering in Billerica, Massachusetts. Jennifer Evans helped Nigel host this evening and we were pleased to have former parents Barry and Dixie Morse present.

In Washington DC Joel had set up a private dining room where conversations were lively. Nigel, son of the late Robert OGILVIE (1933) attended to meet with Latymerians.

New York saw a large turn out with over 50 enjoying the palatial ambience in the Links Club before hearing speeches from USFOL Chair, Jamie GRANT (1976) and the Head.

CAMBRIDGE DINNERThis year’s event was presided over by Sophia PADT (2015) at St Catharine’s College and guests enjoyed a lovely meal and good company and lovely meal, at which the Head spoke. It was a delight to be joined by Fellow of Christ’s, Professor Jonathan GILLARD (1982) and by Professor Nancy Lane-Perham OBE.

ANNUAL DINNER

The annual dinner is always well attended and this year’s

attendees were treated to an outstanding and moving

speech from Georgie GRUNDY-CAMPBELL MBE (1998)

who recounted some of the work she has undertaken with

families facing the aftermath of the Ebola crisis in Sierra

Leone and with women displaced by the conflict in Syria.

Georgie was one of the first girls at Latymer when the Sixth

Form went co-ed and she happily recalled some memories

from her time at Latymer. She is the first ever ‘girl’ to

speak at the dinner during its long history stretching back

over a hundred years. Any apprehension by traditionalists

was misplaced and Georgie spoke eloquently describing

the inspiring work she has been involved with and was

received by all with a prolonged standing ovation.

The Bursaries Appeal 2016/17 kicked off in normal Latymer style at the end of September with a drinks reception in the Main Hall celebrating another record breaking year thanks to over 5,000 gifts large and small from across the School community to the 2015/16 appeal. Of the 22 young people who began their secondary education at Latymer this September thanks to a bursary, five owe their 100% means tested awards to the generosity of donors to this appeal. These children are all bright and talented boys and girls who excelled in the entrance exam but whose families could not otherwise afford to send them to Latymer.

During the evening two Latymerians Adam (2007) and Mickey (2008) BOUKRAA spoke about the impact their Latymer education had on their lives; an education made possible thanks to the 100% bursaries that they were given at entry. The Head, David Goodhew, introduced a short film showcasing the range of fundraising activities that took place last year. The film aptly demonstrated the key to the success of the annual Bursaries Appeal – the collective generosity of the Latymer community! To watch the video and the inspirational speeches, please visit the Bursaries Appeal page on the School website www.latymer-upper.org.

The pupil led RAISE club has had a fantastic year so far raising over £2,500 for the Bursaries Appeal thanks to some very enthusiastic and committed pupils aided by the Development Office Intern, Freya CAZALET (2016) and a very generous matching donation by a local business. Fundraising activities have ranged from bake sales, making badges for Founder’s Day, selling Christmas Cards designed by current Latymer students and running a very popular gingerbread

decorating stall at the Christmas Fair, to organising “pop up” music performances across the School during break time and, just as term broke up, delivering sweets to friends and teachers spreading some holiday cheer!

BURSARIES APPEAL EVENTS

A group of parents, alumni and friends attended the out-of-hours private view and breakfast at Sotheby’s in November raising over £700 for the appeal. There are a range of other events planned by the Bursaries Appeal for the Spring/Summer including two events in memory of Alan RICKMAN (1964). The first of these will take place on Sunday 5 February “Alan Rickman: Director & Playwright” and the second on Sunday 14 May “Alan Rickman: Actor & Friend”.

He received a full scholarship to Latymer and maintained that it truly changed his life; he attended during WWII when the school was evacuated to Slough. John was awarded a Physics Exhibition to the University of London but this was deferred in order for him to join the RAF, where he eventually flew Spitfires. He also flew in the Berlin Airlift and Suez Crises, where he was taken prisoner but managed to escape and fly back to London. He was a pilot trainer in the RAF until 1964, then he worked for IBM in the early days of computers before retiring in 1986 to Somerset.

■ Colin EMMINS MBE MA (1954)

Colin also worked as a freelance writer and researcher and had been Secretary to the Ealing Historical Association. Colin loyally supported the School and its alumni events where he was popular with his peers and he was a member of our 1624 Society.

■ Derek GREENHOUGH (1942)

From 1942 Derek served as a Merchant Navy navigating officer in ocean-going tankers until 1951, when he began work in the fuel industry. Immigrating to Canada with his family in 1958 he joined BP Canada, moving to Toronto until his retirement in 1984 as Director of Safety, Health and Environmental Affairs. Then Derek and his wife, Betty, became Florida snowbirds for the winter months, actively producing and directing amateur variety shows both in Canada and Florida, interspersed with ocean cruises.

■ Henry Edgar HALL MA PhD FRS (1946)

Henry was the son of a physicist and started at Latymer 14 September 1937 in class 1B.

He was awarded the Institute of Physics Simon Prize in 1963 and the Guthrie Medal and Prize in 2004. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1982. He died in December 2015.

■ William John HAYWARD (1963)

Bill was a noted pianist and organist as a pupil at Latymer. He left after O-levels to study at the Royal College of Music where he met his future wife Wendy Reardon. Though they later divorced, they remained close friends. Bill trained at the London Opera Centre after graduating from the RCM. At the age of 21 he was the accompanist for the soprano, Kiri Te Kanawa in a recital in the Royal Festival Hall Purcell Room.

His career in music included the roles of operatic répétiteur, concert organist, composer, song arranger, and conductor. He became the musical director for the popular tenor

Russell Watson, for whom he made numerous arrangements and conducted the orchestra, regularly conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. He travelled with Russell Watson on tours to America, New Zealand and Japan. Bill also worked and recorded CDs with forces sweetheart Katherine Jenkins.

Bill died in December 2015 following an illness from a severe lung infection. He is survived by two daughters and nine grandchildren.

■ Philip Francis DavidHODGES FCA (1964)

David lived in Madeira and sadly passed away last September leaving his wife and children. Before retirement he had been Financial Controller for Yellow Pages. Golf was one of his interests and he was a regular in recent years at the Latymerians’ Golf day, winning the title in 2016. His late father, Cyril (1928) had been at Latymer too.

■ Roger Harry JAY (1940)

Roger was only at the School briefly during WWII, in the class of 1947. He later joined the RAF and spent 14 years as a navigator where he flew in Transport Command squadrons in the Far East during the Malaya Emergency and in Europe helping take VIPs such as government ministers and NATO senior staff to meetings. Roger then worked in the civil service as a technical officer for the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich before becoming a customs officer for HMRC retiring in 1986.

■ Howard LYONS MSc (1963)

Howard Lyons passed away on the 27 December 2014, aged 67. For more than 30 years Howard was a lecturer at Sheffield Business School, lecturing in marketing, planning and strategic planning. He also worked for a time as a research associate at the Eden Project and was a Visiting Fellow at Sheffield Hallam University.

He moved to Hayle, Cornwall, several years ago and joined the town council in 2013 as a councillor for the north ward. He became involved with the local business community and with many other organisations in the town. For example, as Chairman of Save Our Sand he campaigned tirelessly against the dredging of sand in Hayle and St Ives Bay, instead calling for the reintroduction of sluicing to the harbour. Howard also held the post of Vice-chair of Hayle Chamber of Commerce and had taken on the role of Chair of the Friends of St Michael’s Hospital.

■ Nicolas John MAHY MB BS FRCPath MRCP (1972)

Nick was a dedicated cross-country runner for Latymer, winning the Briault Cup in 1972. He studied medicine at Middlesex Hospital, University of London. He was appointed Consultant Cellular Pathologist at the Horton Hospital, Banbury and later at the John Radcliffe, Oxford. After taking early retirement, he retained a very keen interest in science.

■ Donald NAPPIN BSc (1952)

David

■ Dr John M STEWART BA PhD (1961)

John read Mathematics at Jesus College, Cambridge and entered academia gaining his doctorate and working in the field of Gravitational Physics. John was a Junior Research Fellow at Sidney Sussex College, subsequently moving to Munich where he was Research Associate at the Max Planck Institute. On his return to Cambridge in 1975, John was appointed Senior Research Fellow, then subsequently Fellow and Lecturer at King’s College in 1978, two years after his appointment as University Lecturer in Applied Mathematics. Latterly he was an Emeritus Reader and had only recently retired as a Fellow working in the Relativity and Gravitation Group in the University’s Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (the group included Professor Stephen Hawking). In 1991 he published Advanced General Relativity.

He leaves behind his wife, Mary.

■ Gerard George SULLIVAN BSc MA (1954)

Gerard left Latymer aged 16 and completed his National Service in the Royal Navy, studying his A’ Levels by correspondence. He later graduated in Economics and took a Masters in Economic Planning and obtained his teaching qualification from Dudley College.

Gerard taught Economics and Politics to sixth form students in Uganda from 1965-1969, was Senior Lecturer at Oxford Brookes University from 1973-85, and held various consultancies as a development economist in Saudi Arabia, Swaziland, Bangladesh,

South Africa, Malawi, Ethiopia and Uganda. In the 1980s he was Principal of the Commonwealth Development Corporation’s management training centre. In his later years, Gerard served NHS committees concerned with training, ethics and management. In 2011 he published a memoir, The Making of a One-Handed Economist (Book Guild), and was active throughout his life in advocating policies supporting social and economic equity.

Gerard ran a marathon in under three hours in 1983 and was a loyal participant in the annual Latymerians’ ‘Geriatric Jog’. He frequently trod the boards with his local dramatic society, Banbury Cross Players, and he loved to play piano, especially in the style of jazz pianist Dave Brubeck. Gerard greatly valued Latymer and regularly contributed to the Bursaries Appeal. He is survived by his wife, Mary, with whom he celebrated his Golden Wedding Anniversary in 2015, and his two daughters, Sian and Ruth.

Rivercourt House on The Mall facing the Thames was built in 1808 on the site of a country lodge used by Queen Catherine of Braganza, wife of King Charles II. Interestingly, the King’s Jeweller Isaac le Gooch, the second great benefactor to the Latymer Foundation, lived a few yards away at Hyde Lodge. Having been a girls’ school for a time, Rivercourt House was the residence of the novelist Naomi Mitchison between 1923 and 1939. She built a reading & writing room at the rear of her beautiful garden and included a squash court.

The building was ornately decorated with friezes and features with a nautical theme by the sculptor Gertrude Hermes, a highly considered artist of the time, and

its wavy south facing wall is quite an unusual piece of architectural design.

The School Governors bought Rivercourt House in 1951 and it was shared by the Prep Department of some 50 boys under the care of Mrs Wiggans and also used by Sixth Formers.

In recent years we no longer use the squash court and have refurbished the building to include a performance space and a computing suite, as the photos show, renaming it the Seahorse Studio in keeping with the finial that sits on its Western turret.

The Seahorse StudioReaders will be interested to know of our Seahorse Studio, better known to most of you as the School’s squash court!

Dear Editor,

Half-forgotten names in your last issue from the remote

past! I remember Peter DRYSDALE and John CARNE, but

they are shadows. Mr Bott I remember very well and his

introduction as Mr Bottamongstus. The years immediately

after the War were a time of rapid change as masters came

and went. Mr Bott was the first of five Biology masters

who taught me. In spite of this seven from Mr Blayney’s

form went on to read Medicine and two others, Michael

BUSH and, now I learn, John CARNE, did so as well. Nine

from one year must be some sort of record?

The impact of Aisla Fryer in a boy’s school is well-described.

The second girl was Marion, but I cannot remember her

surname. I thought they were from Godolphin rather than

Twickenham, but I could be wrong. They were a portent of

the value of coeducation because, with the arrogance of

boys, we were surprised to find that they were as bright as

we thought we were. I too acted in the production of Julius Caesar and

remember particularly well the superb costumes that Wilf

Sharpe acquired from the Rank Production of Bernard

Shaw’s Caesar and Cleopatra. Brian WATKINS, as you

might expect, was a super Brutus and streets ahead of the

rest of us in professionalism. I remember one particular

incident when the serving boy Lucius missed his cue and

Brian, without pausing, saw someone else in the wings and

said, ‘Decius, bid Lucius bring a bowl of wine,’ the blank

verse indistinguishable from the Bard’s.

It seems to be expected that these contributions should

include a few words about one’s life. They might be of

interest to some but 1950 is so long ago. After training

as a radiologist I spent two years in a research post in

the USA and then nearly thirty years as a consultant

at the Neurological Centre in Southampton. In 1957 I

married Christine, the first Sister I saw in my first job after

qualifying and, we have two sons, both now in their fifties.

I have had MS since 1970 and have been in a wheelchair

for 25 years, but I have had an immensely fulfilling life and

enjoyed every minute. I wouldn’t recommend MS, but if

you’ve got to have it, mine is the sort to have.

What a debt to Latymer, not merely an education but so

much that one would not expect. Who would think that

a lifelong interest in History would stem from ‘Beery’

Sopwith, or that Wilf Shape would endow my love of

the theatre?

Professor Peter COOK (1951)

Letters to the Editor…

Dear Editor,

Many thanks for the latest Latymerian. I can confirm the earlier arrival of young ladies in the Russian class. Also I was

a general in the Julius Caesar production for the ‘Madd Evening’ in the town hall. John STILLWELL and I made the

props for the production. John BUNN and John MacKENZIE did the lights. I loved the Gild evenings and especially the

Jantaculum. I am pleased to still find some names that I remember in the newsletter.

Best wishes to all from David BAINES (1951)

Dear Editor,A group met in France in August to sing with John Poole, former Latymer teacher and later for many years BBC’s Director of Choral Music. We had a splendid week together and gave a concert in the grand church close to his present home in Bellac, near Limoges.

I was pleased to read memories from another brilliant musician Alan BLACKWELL (1963) in the Letters of the last edition. I remember his performance of the Beethoven concerto.

I would like to mention my close school friend

Left to right: David RICHARDSON (1960), Steve JOHNSON (1961), John POOLE, Keith BENNETT (1960), David Till (teacher) and Steve RICHARDS (1965)

Stephen WYATT (1965). We lost contact until a few years ago when we met at a Latymerians’ reunion. He is a renowned writer with many broadcasts works to his credit. Last December his substantial drama Finlandia was aired on BBC Radio 3, dealing with the later life of Sibelius. This was a fascinating play interwoven with music and featuring Tim Piggot-Smith and Barbara Flynn. By chance, I had planned to visit the Sibelius House Museum near Helsinki in late July and I was able to give a CD copy of Stephen’s drama to the delighted Archive Curator. Steve RICHARDS (1965)
