Independent Schools
Over the last few weeks, much has been written about independent school fees and by extension, independent school pupils and parents. I am always careful about not engaging with party politics; however, I do feel that many of the comments do not reflect Bablake and our community.
Our intake is not one that would be considered privileged or that all pupils come from rich backgrounds. One of the strengths of our community, and a cause of celebration, is the mixture of backgrounds that are represented. In fact, our pupils come from a far greater mix of households than most state schools. Around 30% of all our pupils have financial support to attend through bursaries and scholarships and many more will have help with fees from grandparents and other family members. What we all have in common is a shared belief in the importance of education. When we surveyed our parents, 50% had a two-income household total less than £60k. This means that they have prioritised education and made significant financial sacrifices to do so. It makes working here both a privilege and a great responsibility.
When we set fees, we are careful to be sure we charge only what is needed for the type of education parents expect from us. We understand the efforts our parents make to pay these fees, which are much lower than those quoted for independent schools in the national media.
Whenever there is a debate about independent schools, some commentators seem to forget that these are real young people that are being openly debated. I hope, therefore, as politicians consider the sector, they reflect that what happens in the South-East is not reflective of the situation elsewhere. We are proud of what we achieve, together, at Bablake for our pupils and in our wider role supporting education in the city.

Taking Great Photos in Classrooms.
As a school marketing photographer I shoot a really wide range of subject matter from classrooms, to sport, to music, drama, forest school and portraiture. I am often asked about the different techniques I use to capture these different genres so I thought it might be useful to share a few ideas and tips.
Today I am going to talk about Classroom Photography.
It goes without saying that my primary objective when taking photos of kids in a classroom is to produce images that grab the viewer’s attention. I want the viewer to look twice, three times at the photo and feel a connection with the subject. I try to achieve this in several ways:
Get Down! I make sure I am at the level of the subject. If they are on the floor I get on the floor. If they are sitting at a desk I kneel down to be at their eye level. A photo taken by an adult standing up with the camera pointed down at children is always going to feel like a photo taken by an adult looking down at children. Whereas if you shoot from a child’s eye level, as if from another child’s viewpoint, then you enter their world, feel closer to them and are more likely to make an emotional connection with them.
On a similar note, if I introduce a teacher to the photo I always ask them to get their head on the similar level to the children, allowing me to shoot them eye-to-eye. This creates an intimacy not possible if the teacher is standing up, and it often leads to plenty of smiles and giggles!
Use the Right Lens! I use a pretty long lens to shoot in classrooms, usually a 70-200mm. The long focal length, combined with a wide aperture of f2.8, blurs the background and foreground. Classrooms are often quite busy and cluttered so this technique helps to isolate the subject and make them stand out from the background.
My other go-to lens in a classroom situation is a super wide-angle lens. This allows me to be almost on top of the action and brings a really different perspective. I might use this lens is during a science experiment where there’s a line of test tubes or beakers in the foreground that will add nice colour to the photo. It’s not as effective as long lens but it does give a different perspective/feel to the photo.
Fill the Frame! I like to fill the frame with the subject, especially in classrooms. If I were shooting against a blue sky or green field I might compose the photo and leave space around the subject which can be useful if text needs to be added. But in a classroom it’s usually best to zoom in on the subject so that they fill the whole frame and any possible distractions are cropped out of the frame.
Use the Background! As you will have gathered I am keen on avoiding distracting backgrounds! But equally I am always on the lookout for interesting backgrounds that might add to the photo. These could be a lights or wall designs or photos. It's rare that they work but when they do they can add a lot to a photo.
Be Patient! I always have an idea of what I want each photo to look like but often have to be patient, waiting for the perfect, natural moment. And when it happens I shoot a lot of photos very quickly to ensure I capture exactly what I had in mind. I might sometimes ask a pupil to redo an action they had just done, but mostly I try to shoot without any interference.
I hope that these tips are useful to anyone working in school marketing departments. Hopefully you can adopt them and create some lovely images in the classrooms at your school.

This young man has been homeschooled, road-schooled and world-schooled for 8 years and we're currently in the process of looking at, applying to and interviewing for Independent Schools. What an incredible experience it is to watch my child grow into the person that he was created to be. Homeschooling and travel have prepared him to show up and put his best self forward. I must admit that I was extremely proud today while we sat through a high school English class and I listened to him analyze a stanza of a poem. #Parenting #ReadyToLaunch #IndependentSchool #SuffieldAcademy #AvonOldFarms (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVy1MB2s6yW/?utm_medium=tumblr

イギリス新型コロナ、学校再開に向けた実務ステップ
昨日5月15日金曜日に娘の学校から、政府が発表した優先復帰学年であるレセプション、Year1、Year3、Year6に加えてナーサリーの保護者向けにオンラインアンケートのリンクが送られてきました。
私が受け取った実物のアンケートをそのまま添付することは致しませんが、質問項目は、例えば、どの程度積極的にお子様を学校に戻したいと考えますか？、従来通り食堂での給食、各家庭からのランチボックス持参、学校がランチボックスを配布するの何れが望ましいと考えますか？みたいな内容です。
アメリカのオンラインアンケートのソフトウェア開発会社のSurveymonky（サーベイモンキー）の仕組みを使っています。リンクの同社のホームページには学校法人のみならず、今まさに旬のトピックのコロナウィルスに関わる様々なアンケートのテンプレートが掲載されています。

An Insider’s Look at Thaden School’s New Permanent Campus
Above: The new Thaden School permanent campus was unveiled this past July, with three brand-new buildings. In 2020, three additional buildings will be completed.
For students at Thaden School in Bentonville, the new school year has meant a brand-new downtown campus that inspires learning through the beauty, history, culture and ecology of Northwest Arkansas. This school year welcomed students to the new campus, with more to be unveiled in 2020. The recently completed permanent campus at Thaden School is a collaboration between the local architecture firm Marlon Blackwell Architects in Fayetteville and New Orleans-based Eskew+Dumez+Ripple (EDR) with support from The Walton Family Foundation.
Gardens are an educational platform at Thaden School. Above, students learn through the Meals Program that teaches science, economics, sustainability, and culture of the plate through gardening and food preparation. The gray house in the background is the McPhetridge House (the childhood home of Louise McPhetridge Thaden – aviator and Thaden School’s namesake).
This award-winning architectural team has translated Thaden School’s educational philosophy and programmatic innovations into inspiring forms that have deep roots in the history, culture, and ecology of Northwest Arkansas. The rooflines also “pitch and roll” in ways that are evocative of flight and the school’s connection to the history of aviation. This is a campus with roots and wings.

“It matters to us that the land upon which we are building our school was the home of the Benton County Fair for nearly 80 years. True to this history, we hope that our campus will be an amenity and gathering place for the entire community. We love that it is situated in the middle of Bentonville’s downtown district, just a short walk or bike ride from the square and a number of cultural venues. I have found that learning is most vibrant at schools where the students have abundant opportunities to make and discover natural connections to their surrounding neighborhood. Thaden is bursting with this potential.” - Dr. Clayton Marsh, Founding Head of Thaden School
Back to School Ice Cream Social in the breezeway between the Great Hall and the Library before school started for the year. The buildings have breezeways and lattice work that is evocative of barns and other types of agrarian spaces in NWA.
We have a feeling enrollment numbers will go up now that these glorious grounds have been unveiled. Thaden School is currently accepting applications for admission for students entering grades 6-12. Students and parents can learn more about applying for admission for the 2020-21 school year here. Inquire at the school for more information or schedule your own tour of this stunning new campus.
The state-of-the-art buildings are spread out throughout Thaden School’s convenient, downtown Bentonville location giving students an open campus feel and ample opportunity to get outside.
