EDMONTON GIRLS CHARITY SCHOOL A Structure of Hope
I wonder how many of you have stood at the bus stop in Church Street waiting for a W8 to Enfield or Chase Farm and sheltered in the doorway of the old Girls Charity School and not been aware of its importance. Perhaps you have looked up and wondered why a statue of a young women in a blue dress stands in a niche above the door.

atymer school had been established for the poor boys of Edmonton in 1624 and a girls charity school had originated in Tottenham in 1735. It was not until 1778, however, that a subscription was raised to found a girls school in Edmonton. Subscribers who donated at least £1.00 a year could nominate one pupil and at the first meeting of the trustees a fund of £750.00 had been invested. Perhaps we should not be surprised that the initial thirteen guardians were all male however by the early nineteenth century women had outnumbered the men at trustees meetings by four to one. One trustee, Obadiah Legrew, granted part of his property to build the school but the noise of the children offended his ears so much that he changed the offer and agreed to purchase land in Church Street for the establishment instead. He later reneged on this deal also and the charity had to settle for a £50.00 donation from him. www.edmontongreenmag.co.uk

The function of the school was not to produce literate, academic graduates. There was no accent on the three “Rs”. The girls were taught to sew, wash and iron. At a later date knitting was introduced but mainly taught by the older girls. Work pro-

When they left all that the young ladies were fit for was to go into domestic service. An incentive for getting your child into the school was that she would be clothed as well as educated.

any of the strict rules she would be expelled and forfeit the garments. Parents would be anxious to keep their daughter at the school so presumably encouraged them to behave. An example of a child being expelled was when Elizabeth Parker went missing for the three days of the Edmonton Statute Fair. Any child caught visiting the Edmonton Theatre would also be dismissed immediately. Girls could be presented for entry between the ages of seven and twelve and expected to leave by fourteen. Occasionally school-

girls were allowed an extension particularly if they were helping teach the younger students. Classes were graded by ability rather than age but the system could be abused as when Mary Allen, one of the pupil teachers, was found guilty of taking bribes to unjustly promote some girls and hold back others who had crossed her. The school was brought under the control of the Anglican Church in 1815 but the Education Act 1902, drew education under the remit of local authori-
ties for the first time. This meant closure of the charity school and pupils transferred to All Saints Elementary. The building today is in poor condition and under threat. The Enfield Society and Historic England are monitoring the situation and a new tenant is required who can restore this important local structure. The plaque over the door reads “A structure of hope, founded in faith on the basis of charity”. It could do with all three right now.

NEW YEAR, NEW FAMILY
ADVENTURES Are we feeling a bit gloomy now what the Christmas Break is over and it is back to business as usual? Making plans and booking new things to do can add some excitement back into family life. WHAT DOES SOPHIAS DIARY SUGGEST TO DO? BOOK A LOCAL SHOW
We are extremely lucky what we have local theatres that produce fantastic family shows and with talented cast members too. Really young children would thoroughly enjoy Planet Play and Tales of the Shed at Chickenshed (on till 10th March). They are fantastic at being interactive and getting the whole family involved. 10

A Fairy Tale, will be on over half term at The Dugdale Centre (10th & 11th February). An unlikely Fairy earns the greatest honour that can be granted in all of the magical Kingdom of Enfield. She will go on a journey with Pixie and her friend Puck, as they help some familiar characters. Lost and Found will be shown at Millfield Theatre in Half Term Week too (15th February). Children will enjoy puppetry, songs and music in this tale about a boy that found a penguin at his door.
PANTO TIME
How lucky are we to have Easter Panto, Puss in Boots in Enfield (The Dugdale Centre 28th March – 15th April)? This creative pantomime will be packed with music, dance, comedy and of course audience participation, ‘Oh yes it will!
EXPLORE NEW INDOOR VENUES
Most of us opt to visit indoor places in the Winter, purely because it is currently freezing. Active children jump, run around and even do somersaults at a Jump In Trampoline Park, or Skate around, and even take lessons at Rollerstation. Softplay maybe more suitable for younger children. Happyland in Edmonton, Southbury Leisure Centre, and Fun Junction in Cheshunt are always fantastic choices. Some kids just like to sit down and be creative, so painting at Going Pottery or Messy Play at Pots of Art are good choices. For those that are willing to brave the cold, Forty Hall is a beautiful place to visit and they organise fantastic events too. www.edmontongreenmag.co.uk

Our Chocolate lovers must get the date in the diary now. Forty Hall have organised a fantastic Easter Egg Hunt from Friday 30 March – Monday 2 April. Families will follow an exciting Easter egg picture trail and enjoy a chocolate treat.
EAT OUT AT A FAMILY FRIENDLY VENUE
The Plough in Crews Hill is absolutely fantastic for families as there is an outdoor area for kids to play. The Winchmore have regular classes for children, and a few books and toys to keep them amused. Families can also enjoy a lovely lunch, coffee and cake or afternoon tea Aroma Tea and Coffee House and they also offer a kids menu, and are extremely hospitable to children.
FIND A NEW HOBBY OR CLASS FOR YOUR CHILD
After School activities are so popular in Enfield, and we are extremely lucky that there is so much choice for any group each day. Whether you child is interested in Art, Learning a Language, Sport, Dance, Music, or you want to find a Baby or Toddler Group, there is so much listed on Sophia’s Diary.
BOOK A HOLIDAY OR A WEEKEND AWAY
Isn’t it a fabulous idea to book a holiday early in the year so we have something to look forward to? We may also benefit from better deals when availability is higher, and pay a lower deposit too. A UK break in a cottage or Spa hotel can also be such a treat at this time of year too.

Review of the Puss in Boots Pantomime at Hoxton Hall, January 2018 Pantomime is not just for Christmas! The Dugdale’s Easter pantomime is returning for the third year running and this time it’s Puss in Boots! The light-hearted family show promises laughter, singing, dancing and plenty of audience participation. It is brought to you by the same creative team behind the previous Easter pantomimes and also the Christmas pantomimes at the Millfield Theatre. I took my children aged 3 and 6 years old to see the show during its Christmas run at East London’s Hoxton Hall and we can safely say that Enfield viewers are in for a treat! Based on the lesser known fairytale of the same name, Puss in Boots tells the story of poor Colin who has been left penniless after his father dies. He inherits just a tabby cat named Puss. Fortunately, Puss is a sort of Fairy Godmother, though blessed with cunning not magic. She has a big 14

plan to help Colin turn his fortune around. It involves Colin marrying Princess Alice (handily, the pair have already met and taken a shine to each other) and for Puss to trick the Ogre into giving up his palace so Colin can claim it. Queen Doris (the classic Pantomime Dame) and Igor the ogre’s henchman (BOOOOO) try to hilariously get in the way but is no match for Puss. All of the classic pantomime sayings such as “It’s behind you!” and “Oh no it isn’t!” make an appearance. Writer and director Marc Day does have a unique pantomime style and the ruse where one by one a character is taken away by a ghost during a dance routine (which appears behind them obviously) features here too. There is an audience rousing round of “If www.edmontongreenmag.co.uk

There are plenty of other opportunities for the audience to get involved too, somewhat reluctantly for the grown-ups but something the kids usually love to do - mine certainly did, especially with the dancing fun. The show is aimed at families with children aged 3 and over and has a running time of 100 minutes including an interval. It is a smaller and shorter production that a usual pantomime (the Christmas

Interview
How long do you live in Edmonton? What are your memories? I’ve lived in Edmonton for twenty one years. My memories are how friendly and lively the Market was (and is) - Steve the Cobbler who I always have a chat with, my neighbours Dee Marchant and Del Dennister who used to run the wool stall - (Dee is a great knitter and Del was a wonderful accordionist) my next door neighbours Marie and Tunde Nwagwe-Moylan, who became very close friends and were a great support to me in my musical career, coming to gigs, taking publicity photos, and making me Sunday dinners! (They have now moved to Ireland where Marie comes from), and All Saints Church. When and why did you start playing? I started playing recorder at school and used to teach myself tunes from the TV by ear, and I had piano lessons in the village where I grew up 18

with a lady called Daphne Webber, then Leslie Boreham and then Howard Gregory, who I had to audition for, from Leicestershire Schools of Music. I learned flute with Jenny Brooks in Leicestershire, and Robert Winn in London, both great teachers. I should add that apart from those early piano lessons, I never had to pay for a music lesson, music lessons were free in Leicestershire and at Middlesex. Which instruments do you play? I play flute, (Classical and Irish) piano, sax and Uilleann pipes (which I’m still a novice at. They say it takes 21 years!) Which musicians do you admire? Why? There are so many! I admire the flute player (I don’t like the term flautist) Michael McGoldrick for his great energy and sensitivity, and I admire my friends and colleague Najma Akhtar for her wonderful improvisation and singing, and the saxophonist Tony Kofi who hope to be collaborating with soon, and the vibraphone player Martin Pyne (likewise!). Which musicians have you learned from? All of them. Jimi Hendrix, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Louis Armstrong, Describe your first instrument. It was a cardboard box! My sister and I wanted to learn the piano so much we used to make pretend ones from cardboard boxes from the co-op! My mother is a natural musician who plays the piano by ear, although we didn’t have a piano in the house to begin with, and www.edmontongreenmag.co.uk

Do you teach music? Yes, I teach at the Irish Cultural Centre and the English Folk Dance and Song Society, and I teach at Morley College and Leeds College of Music (on the new Folk Degree course) my Father loves Irish songs and music which is where my interest came from. His parents emigrated from County Clare. Years later, I actually DID play a cardboard box on Television as part of Contemporary Music Group Collective Title with great musicians and friends Howard Haigh, Sarah Walker and ian Willcock.
Do you perform in public? Yes! I’ve performed all over the world, and I have an album out called “Silver and Wood” which toured the UK with the support of Arts Council England. I’m performing at Forty Hall in February, then the day after I fly to Norway to attend and perform at the Winterfestival there, and in March I’m playing support for Michael McGoldrick with my trio (Steph West on harp and Sarah Mooney on guitar - also musicians who I admire very much!). Have you been in competitions? Do you get nervous before a performance or a competition? I don’t really believe music should be a competition although I respect those who are involved in that way.

A return to education
Returning to education as an adult learner can be a daunting prospect. There is so much that one needs to consider before finalising enrolment. “Can I afford to return to education? Can I continue to work full–time alongside studying? How do I maintain that balance between work life, student life and family life? How many hours of study time a week do I need? How long is the course for? Do I have what it takes to be a student at this age? What support will I get from college?” Although there is so much to think about, your questions should not become your stumbling block. Education is far more easily accessible today than ever before, thanks to the introduction of online courses, flexible learning, evening courses and work based learning to mention a few. I am a product of adult education and I benefited from having access to flexible learning opportunities, including 22
Edmonton Green Magazine | #9
a close-knit family network to help with baby-sitting duties, excellent breakfast and after school clubs, and paid study leave. All of these factors played, and continue to play, a part in my journey as a dedicated advocate of life-long learning. In comparison to younger counterparts and/or those with unbroken years of learning, returning to education as an adult can sometimes www.edmontongreenmag.co.uk
mean that you are out of practice and a bit rusty. Things can prove challenging when it comes to producing assignments, report writing, doing presentations and making use of IT packages. However, practice makes perfect. Nothing is impossible! Before embarking on your level 2 or 3 diploma, HND and/or personal development course, you must have a plan in place as to how you are going to manage your new life as a student, whether full or part time education is involved. Naturally, you must ensure your childcare is organized if you are a parent. Furthermore, it is imperative that you have a budget in place, just in case your finances have to take a hit whilst you’re studying. Agree your study days/time off with your employer in advance. Timetable your activities, lectures and study days as soon as possible. Lastly, don’t forget yourself: plan for recreational time away from the books, studying, research, report writing, etc.

To be successful at anything in life, you must plan well and plan ahead. The excitement of becoming a student should serve to propel you forwards, so that you don’t get off on the wrong footing, and to ensure that your confidence doesn’t suffer. You should not be left questioning yourself or having doubts about your ability to succeed. We found these to be the concerns of some of our students past and present. As a private educational establishment, we are not privy to the resources that state colleges have, but we have worked hard to ensure our students do not lose out.
At ECC we have laboured hard to develop a culture that facilitates the needs of the adult learner, with the hope that the extra support provided will encourage them to complete their courses, and be able to balance college, work and family life proficiently. Our vision is to ensure that our students leave ECC with excellent skills and knowledge, and with more confidence than when they arrived.

Think about what you post online, and why.
Everything you share online can be shared on by others, and taken out of your control. Content can stay on the Internet forever, therefore, only share things that will not cause you embarrassment now, or in the future. Protect your online reputation (and those of others), by seeking out positive opportunities to create, engage and share online.
Courtesy and Respect
Be courteous and respectful to others online, much like you would, if you were meeting them face-to-face. If we all do this, then we can eliminate bullying, and the other negative aspects of using digital technology and the Internet.

Parents and carers
As a parent or carer, you play a key role in helping your children stay safe online. You do not need to be an expert to support your child to use the internet safely, responsibly and positively. Make sure to activate the parental filters on your home and Wi-Fi network, and install good antivirus on all your devices. Finally, make time to talk with your child, and have conversations about using technology safely, responsibly and respectfully.
