Welcome to Your Worcester Park Life As I write this introduction to our May issue London seems to be the hottest city in Europe and the grass and flowers outside look just beautiful, basking in the glorious sunshine – it’s so easy to forget the miserable wet days that we had over the Easter holidays, isn’t it. I’ve been planting bedding plants and this year I will remember to water them as it’s set to stay dry for a while. Fantastic weather for getting out and about on our bikes and up to our local beautiful parks. I started the couch to 5K programme (again) in January but running with excitable Matty-dog on the lead was a step too far and at the end of week 3 I was forced to retire as shooting pains had started in my left knee. After a few months of physio I’m back to square one so really enjoying some gentle cycling. However you’re keeping your fitness levels up, I’m sure you’ll agree, it’s much easier when the sun is shining… Please get in touch if your school, club or organisation is planning any events in June that we can help to promote - at no cost to you. Or if you have a local business and want to get the word out locally. In order to deliver the magazine to most of the KT3 postcode, we split the distribution over a two month period. So if you have had this edition delivered you probably won’t get the April one. There are a limited number of copies available from Waitrose, New Malden library, Tudor Willams and the Malden Centre but don’t forget that it is also published online - you can get the link from our website. Until next time, best wishes,

Jenny Jenny Stuart, Editor & publisher P.S. Please remember to mention the Worcester Park Life when replying to adverts, and get in touch by 17th May if you’d like your business, Club or event to feature in the June edition, and 17th June for July.

Worcester Park History by David Rymill

More memories of Longfellow Road Several readers got in touch in response to my January article, having enjoyed reading memories of childhoods spent in Longfellow Road in the 1910s-30s, so I thought this month I would give some more recollections of Longfellow Road, concentrating on the memories of Gladys Rutland née Ingram, who was born in 1911 and lived at no. 127 until her teenage years. Gladys described “my lovely field, at the back of our house [where Hazlemere Gardens was later built], full of flowers and little blue butterflies. I was very fond of wild flowers – I was always going back into the house with a bunch of flowers. I used to play cricket with my brothers out in the field. I used to get sixes, and I didn’t bowl under-arm, I used to go over-arm – oh, I used to love cricket. There were allotments next to our field, in Green Lane; my father liked his allotment: he used to grow a lot of lovely stuff there for us children – there were five of us.” Some of the family’s shopping was done “in Lanes’ shop down Longfellow Road [no. 105]; quite nice it was: two big counters, and kept nicely. He used to fold the bags round in a certain way – blue paper it was – and put the sultanas in. Ron Lane used to deliver, with things hanging on his bike – cornflakes, I remember.” The family also used the shops in what was to become Central Road, clustered around the junction with Longfellow Road, such as the corn chandler’s with “big bins filled with corn; it was beautiful bright orange, the maize, I used to let it trickle through my fingers.” Much of the main road was still undeveloped: “On one side was Beer’s Farm [officially known as Worcester Park Farm or Stoneleigh Farm, with a farmhouse on the site of Superdrug], where we used to get our milk.” There was no fridge at their home, but “we had a larder that had stone in it, and my mother used to have a big clay pot that she put the bread in, to keep it cool, with a cloth over the top.”

that he used to dip in and measure it out. And the muffin man used to come round during the daytime and weekends, with a bell, with lovely muffins and crumpets on a tray over his head.” Gladys was three years old when the First World War started – the first war in which civilians came under attack from the air, in German Zeppelin raids. “We used to have the policeman come round when there was an air raid on – they used to come round and say, ‘Take cover, go straight indoors.’ Seems very odd now [compared to air-raid sirens]: but they must have been very brave, those policemen.” Her father, Percy Ernest Ingram, “was a tailors’ superintendent in Savile Row. The Prince of Wales [later Edward VIII] used to go there, and he brought in an old jacket: he wanted the elbows patched with leather.” Mr Ingram “used to wear a big tail coat, like a beetle – and a buttonhole; I used to go down the garden and pick him whatever was going, rose or carnation. He used to go to the station every morning, he was up and out by 7.” On one occasion “there was going to be a strike and he said ‘Well, I’ll walk there’ – but fortunately that was the end of it. He was a rare one for work, he was there for 48 years. “At the bottom of the station steps, right on the main road, there used to be a trough where the horses used to drink. There used to be blackberries down there as well. I was a rare one for scrumping, and

picking flowers – marguerites and cornflowers and all sorts. “At Malden Green Farm they used to do clay pigeon shooting, and the Prince of Wales used to go there. I didn’t see him – my father did.” Gladys would later come to know Malden Green Farm much better, after her sister Grace married into the Parker family who acquired it in 1932. Gladys went to Cheam Common Infants’ School, and then to the Church of England Junior School which was located where the curving parade The Broadway Market is now at the top of Central Road, opposite the present schools. Empire Day was observed at both schools: “I used to go with a bunch of flowers and a Union Jack and dance round the maypole – in our best attire; my mother made me a little pink dress for that.” The Junior School “was a lovely little school, just for girls, and had a lot of lime trees, and we used to have lessons under there sometimes. Miss Carette used to say ‘Unter der linden’ and out we’d all go.”

Gladys later lived in several other roads in the district, spending most of her married life in Elm Way. “When we lived down Donnington Road we had a bedroom that overlooked the fields; I used to watch the field of corn and it used to waver like the sea when the breeze came; I was a proper country girl for flowers and grass and all that, but it did change very quickly.” Our illustrations this month take us on some 40 years from Gladys’s time in Longfellow Road, as they show a mug produced by Fordham Pottery of Cambridgeshire for a Longfellow Road street party to mark the Queen’s Silver Jubilee in 1977. But was it the Longfellow Road in Worcester Park? It seems likely, as the mug comes from a local source, and the WP Longfellow Road is known for its street parties – but can any WPL reader confirm this?

Ruth Jemmett Writes Time For Chelsea Again By Ruth Jemmett

At LAST! The rain has gradually eased off, and buds are popping everywhere. At this time of the year, there is a feeling of expectation. As Mark Twain put it: “It’s Spring Fever! …. You don’t know what it is you DO want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache you want it so!” The plants and trees feel their sap rising, and we humans start mowing lawns, decorating our homes, and brushing up our act. The strengthening rays of the sun highlight cobwebs (Aaargh!), and DIY stores are run off their feet. People actually LOOK happier at this time of the year, as they tentatively peel off their winter woollies, and bear their pasty flesh for the first time in months!

we were brave young things back then. Health and Safety? Pah!

The 1st of May is marked worldwide as a celebration of the struggles of the working people. Labour Day, as it is also known, originated in the USA in 1867, when a ten hour working day was reduced to eight hours. This is the origin of our own May Day Bank Holiday, which was instituted in 1978. We will have two Bank Holidays in May - one on 7th and one on 28th. May also marks the end of the football season in this country. May husband, an avid support of Plymouth Argyle, goes into official mourning mode until the season recommences. On the 2nd of May it will be the birthday of Prince Charles, and also a man beloved of lady gardeners everywhere - Alan Titchmarch!

The word May derives from Maia, a Roman Goddess of springtime, and the mother of Mercury, the winged messenger of the gods. The Gaelic name for May is Bealtaine. In the farming world it is the time between sowing and reaping. However excited we get about the prospect of warmer days to come, we must never forget the old saying “”Ne’er cast a clout ’til May be out”, and as Shakespeare reminded us - “Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May.” As a child living in this area in the 1950s, I remember playing on a field next to The Hogsmill River, and finding that the inside of a blossoming May bush made an ideal den for a child with a vivid imagination. I would disappear inside the prickly shrub for ages on summer days, sporting a bottle of water and a slice of bread and margarine. Butter was a distant dream in those days of post-war rationing! I once had a painful encounter with a May thorn, which I couldn’t remove. All these years later its remnants stare at me from my thumb! We had adders living in the field, but To advertise email jenny@maldenmedia.co.uk or call 020 8336 2915

On the 4th of the month we can remember that in 1979 Margaret Thatcher became our first female Prime Minister. She was loved and disliked in equal measures, and certainly made her mark in history as a strong leader. On the 12th May International Nurses Day will be celebrated. It was instituted in 1965 to mark the contribution nurses make to our world. As a regular attendee at The Royal Marsden Unit at Kingston Hospital I have nothing but praise for these wonderful people - the majority of whom are women. Their kindness, compassion, and incredible knowledge and efficiency, have, together with the incredible support of my cancer specialists, have made it possible for me to write for you four and a half years after diagnosis of breast cancer that had spread to several other sites. Whatever nurses are paid it’s not nearly enough!!! You may or may not know that this is National Walking Month The aforesaid husband does his bit by pacing to the ’fridge at regular intervals …..! Medics tell us that regular walking every day adds years to our life, and is a good way to lose weight - so get those trainers on and grab that dog to haul around the park! The 14th- 20th of this month marks Mental Health Awareness Week. At last people are admitting that a fair proportion of the population - and indeed the world - are plagued by issues regarding their mental well-being, either by reason of genetics, life-style or drugs. Thank goodness that Prince Harry and Prince William have brought the subject to the forefront of our consciousness. Very few of us get through life without suffering things like anxiety, panic attacks, bipolar-disorder, etc. Also, sadly, many individuals can suffer from paranoia due to their excessive cannabis use, which is becoming more commonplace. Most illegal drug use is a method of escaping from the reality of life. For years people would feel ashamed

of feeling vulnerable when they felt unable to cope, and would retreat from life. At last we are beginning to acccept that the majority of us have been affected by such issues, or have members of their families who deal with these stresses on a daily basis. The big message is that there is nothing to be ashamed of. If you need help in any area of mental health issues, there is help out there. Visiting your G.P. can be a good starting point. Do you have your blooms ready for The Chelsea Flower Shower, which will be opening its doors from 22nd to 26th May? Even if you aren’t exhibiting it will be a glorious feast for your eyes and nose. Tickets are on sale now, via the internet. My own garden, as lovely as it is, now seems a little empty. My lovely next door neighbours recently lost their gorgeous cat, Ossie. He lived until the ripe old age of eighteen, and was much loved here in Salisbury Road. He was a very frequent visitor to my garden, I will miss his furry inquisitive orange head appearing under my arm as I plant things this year. Cats, and indeed other pets, can become almost like family members, and leave a big gap in our lives when they leave us. My garden is certainly saying a big hello after a long wet winter. Fish are swimming up from the bottom of my pond, and looking perky. Things are looking healthy in the greenhouse. I have potted up geranium and hydrangea cuttings, and am delighted to say that the raspberry cuttings are in full leaf, and ready to give to friends and neighbours. I still have a large bag of frozen raspberries from last year’s crop in the freezer, which are dipped into at regular intervals!. The writer Anthony Trollope told us “Let no man boast himself that he has got through the perils of winter ‘til at least the seventh of May - so start counting those days!

View from the City Why do I need a will? Justin Urquhart Stewart, Co-founder and Head of Corporate Development

I am always staggered to read that apparently some 60% of people don’t have a will. Quite apart from the mess that this leaves matters in when one of life’s certainties takes place – to misquote a US founding father in Benjamin Franklin – it could present your family with a big tax bill. When someone dies without a will in England, the first £250,000 is paid out to the surviving spouse (or civil partner of course) and then the rest is distributed 50:50 between the spouse and the children (and/ or grandchildren). Nothing would be paid to any godchildren or the other family members who are often recognised in a typical will. Now I can understand why people might want to avoid the difficult conversations that may accompany drafting a will. It can often upset family members if your view about how

you want your affairs handled differs from their purview of the world – particularly since families can become quite complicated. However, writing up that will means that you’ll overcome those challenges and at least everyone will understand what your wishes are and your reasons behind your decisions. I have never, however, believed that people want to give the government any more of their family’s hard earned savings than is necessary. While HMRC does some sterling work, I am not entirely sure that their efforts would ever prompt you to tip them! And this could happen if you died intestate i.e. without a will. For example, if you leave 10% of your net estate to a charity the inheritance tax rate reduces from 40% to 36%, a difference that can quickly become quite meaningful. Of course, tax matters are very individual and you do need to speak to a professional tax adviser to really dig into the details, and which would be beyond the support that 7IM offers. But even this example shows that it is worth a conversation (and writing a will) so that your heirs get to keep more of the family money. It will also save your family quite considerable heartache. For anyone who has ever had to wade through the painful process of probate for a loved one, making it easier for them should surely mean you can find a couple of hours to put pen to paper. And while I am conscious that not every family may become the 21st century version of the Jarndyce court case at the centre of Charles Dickens’s Bleak House, I am equally quite confident that they all got along very amicably before the initial ancestor died. There may be some skimming this article who are feeling slightly smug as they have a will. And I am very glad you have. I would, however, ask here that you check it’s up-todate and indeed valid. Last but not least, I want people to stop procrastinating about a document that you could categorise as meaningless while you’re alive because it is a great start to some proper financial planning. Drafting it makes you realise what is included in an estate (e.g. an ISA) and what is excluded (e.g. a pension). And that is where the best family conversations can be had. You’ll also be able to structure your affairs to be far more tax efficient to your own benefit and not just to the benefit of a loved one to enjoy when you’ve departed this world. Where there is a will there is a way, or rather make a way to have a will. Seven Investment Management LLP is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

STATISTICS Two of the biggest lenders in the country have just published their views of the current property market. The Nationwide state that house prices have risen 2.7% year on year, whilst the Halifax figures indicate a 2.1% rise. The difference in the figures is quite likely an indication of the fact that some lenders are more active in certain parts of the country than others and therefore reflect different markets. Central London prices, for instance, are reported to be slightly reduced whilst there are areas of the country, such as Northern Ireland, where prices fell dramatically a decade ago and are still well short of their peak. Averaged across the country the figures are no doubt correct but are not so useful when considering a specific area. Our experience is that prices are remaining fairly steady with the occasional surprise.

As their children grew a larger garden was needed and they could move somewhere less central to enjoy having some of the wonderful local countryside on their doorstep. Time has flown by and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem that long ago, but of course children keep growing while grandparents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any younger and start to need a little more assistance. The latest move brings the family back within a few roads of their first home, and within easy reach of older relatives to give the ongoing care they need.

It helps that we really know the local property market but there is more to an area than roads and buildings. Understanding people and the homes they need, often means that as soon as we are called for a valuation we have a good idea who will live there next. Sometimes that person is already looking but recently we helped a couple who made a comment over 10 years ago that if a particular type of property came OLD FRIENDS up they would be interested.

Sweet Recipe Chocolate Fondant Puddings Don’t overcook these divine chocolate puds or the centres will set and you’ll lose the gooey molten middle. You can prepare them a couple of hours in advance and bake them just before serving.

Ingredients: • 175g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing • 175g caster sugar • 175g good quality plain chocolate, broken into pieces • 3 large eggs • 50g plain flour • Cocoa powder and icing sugar, to dust • Whipped cream and strawberries, to serve

Serves 4 Ready in 45 minutes

TIP

If you don’t have ovenproof ramekin dishes, you can use small metal pudding basins or ovenproof teacups.

1. Preheat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas mark 5.

Lightly butter four 300ml capacity ramekin dishes (see Tip) and sprinkle with a little of the caster sugar.

2. Place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof

bowl set over a pan of simmering water and leave until melted. Remove from the heat and stir until smooth. Cool for 5 minutes.

3. In a large bowl whisk the eggs and remaining

caster sugar together for 5 minutes until very thick, pale and creamy, then whisk in the chocolate mixture. Sift over the flour and gently fold in using a metal spoon.

4. Divide the mixture between the four dishes. Place on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the puddings have risen and are just set on the outside – the tops should still wobble when pressed lightly. Run a knife around the edge of the puddings and turn out onto plates. Dust with cocoa powder and icing sugar and serve immediately with whipped cream and strawberries.

Voice for Wildlife by Carol Williams By the time you read this, Shadbolt Park pond will have a new notice board - the old one, which was a handsome creation made for us at St Ebba’s soon after the pond was restored, has done sterling service but has been in a state of disrepair and shabbiness for some time. It got beyond being able to be smartened up with a lick of paint when somebody vandalised the perspex frontage last year. Funds to replace it were allocated by the Cuddington Residents Association from the money raised through the recent Tesco scheme, which successfully secured finance for the park. A big thank you to all those who shopped at Tesco and voted for our little park. Well done everyone! Frogs have spawned and tadpoles have hatched - we are hoping the presence of the unwanted, dumped fish in the water will not impact too seriously on breeding success, but at the moment we don’t know. Last year seemed to be a low success year, and this may have been because of the fish, which, until their numbers increased, went undetected by us. It is a great shame that some people cannot have more respect for wildlife than to simply tip their unwanted pets into ponds, regardless of the negative impact this could have on a small ecosystem. We have have displayed a notice in our board for many years, which clearly states ‘No Fish’. The pond is there mainly to help native amphibians, which, because of pond draining, struggle to survive in urban environments. The best thing anyone can do for local wildlife is to build a pond. And now for something completely different - a national disaster - the death of the Ash woodlands. I am a member of The Woodland Trust. The following information comes from Issue No 91 of their magazine (Broadleaf ). Britain has 128 million ash trees - and most of them are dying from a disease we know as ash dieback. The Chalara ash dieback fungus first appeared in the UK in 2012 and since then its spores have spread exponentially across the country, killing ash trees. Dr Ruth Mitchell of the James Hutton Institute writes this: “Ash has been completely taken for granted, so it was a shock when we discovered that 955 mammals, birds and insects, fungi and lichens use the tree and more than 100 species either rely on ash completely or are heavily dependant on it. The spotted flycatcher is one bird that’s rapidly declining and loves ash woods, but our list runs to wrens, wood mice, bats, you name it.” She goes on to say that although oak and beech do support many of the same species, the Ash canopy is important because it is sun dappled, providing glades for wild flowers - good for butterflies and bees - and the leaf litter breaks down quickly, providing rich nutrients for the woodland floor.

flood mitigation and public health and well being. But unless there’s a big incentive for landowners to replace the ash - and quickly - the classic British countryside will disappear. Sadly it isn’t just ash - the number of pests and pathogens attacking Britain’s treescape is multiplying. Sweet chestnut blight - coming from the USA - and Phytophthora alni and ramorum affecting junipers and larches. The problem is plant imports. Dutch Elm Disease came here via a load of logs from Canada. Hundreds of tonnes of plants are shipped to the UK every year, mainly from the Netherlands, and they bring pests and diseases that Britain’s native flora have no defences against. Phytophthora ramorum arrived on rhododendrons for the nursery trade, then jumped onto larch. So, that’s the bad news - what can we do about it? The Trust has a few ideas and innovative schemes which we can support. Firstly we can plant native trees - as many as we can, to offset the ash epidemic. The Woodland Trust is offering tree packs - from bundles comprising 45 saplings to tiny packs with just 4 to 15 trees. Some are free. We should be favouring native plants in our gardens, as this is the best way to create a thriving ecosystem and we can support the idea of a national nursery assurance scheme by filling in the plant buying survey produced by Defra’s Forest Research body - at smartsurvey.co.uk/s/plants. Asking the garden centre if the plants are from UK sourced seed, rather than imports, will also help spread awareness and create demand for fewer non- native species. In addition we need greater biosecurity in all ports - inspections are currently woefully inadequate. Some lobbying of government could be useful here. Join the Trust’s citizen science effort - Observatree (observatree.org.uk/volunteers). It’s the first line of defence against tree disease. Keep an eye out on your daily travels and flag up suspect trees via the Forestry Commission’s TreeAlert website which has a guide to five priority pests and user -friendly report forms ( treealert.forestry.gov.uk). Donate. The tree disease fighting fund has already raised £275,000. This fund is also helping investment in new hedgerow planting with dedicated ‘Tree Disease Recovery Packs’ to replace lost ash nationwide. To join The Woodland Trust, visit www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/ membership - or just google ‘Woodland Trust’ - where several options for joining are to be found. If you aren’t techy savvy write to the Trust at Kempton Way, Grantham, Lincs NG31 6LL . Alternatively, ring 0330 333 3300. Please do what you can to help save trees and increase tree cover. Trees are just so important - for wildlife, and for us.

A report by The Tree Council reckons that nearly 100,000 kilometres of hedgerows are dominated by Ash. Research tells us that trees repay society at least ten fold for the cost of planting them, not just in benefits for Nature, but in clean air,

Gardening Striking Sunflowers Pippa Greenwood Sunflowers are one of the most stunning and impressive flowers you could have in your garden, and are easy to grow too. Sow them this month to achieve a fantastic flowery display in just a few months’ time. So which ones should you choose and how do you go about getting the best crop of flowers? There are fast-growing and potentially very tall varieties such as ‘Russian Giant’ and ‘Titan’, with the latter reaching a potential height of up to 360cm or 12ft and having heads of up to 60cm (2ft) in diameter! There are some delightful miniature or dwarf varieties. The F1 variety ‘Little Dorrit’ grows to about 60cm (2ft) and has rich yellow flowers with very dark centres. Another favourite is ‘Little Leo’ at just 45cm (18in), which makes lots of impact with golden yellow heads on multi-branching stems. Nowadays there are many colours other than yellow readily available, such as ‘Black Magic’, which has maroon flowers and is multi-branching, reaching a height of about 180cm (6ft). Grow yourself a few for cutting too, and you’ll have a vase or more full of flowers that would cost a fortune in the shops. Many varieties are suitable, including the orangey-brown ‘Velvet Queen’, ‘Black Velvet’ and the bi-coloured and pollen-free ‘Magic Roundabout’. For containers, ‘Pacino Colada’ is a compact variety growing to just 40cm (16in) and has 10cm (4in) wide golden-yellow flowers, making a wonderful plant for a sunny patio, sheltered balcony or in the flower beds. Children love a competition to grow the tallest plant and varieties like ‘Russian Giant’ and ‘Giant Single’ are perfect for smaller gardeners, and as they reach heights of about 180cm (6ft) will soon dwarf them! Sunflowers make a cheap and cheerful addition to a garden boundary, adding splashes of colour to a dreary fence line or helping to mask a garage or shed. You should get a good crop of blooms if you sow sunflowers between March and May, depending on the weather and where you live. You can sow them straight into the soil or into pots of compost. I like to use RootTrainers to encourage really well-developed

and deep roots to develop, and make it easy to plant out the sunflowers with minimum root disturbance; see www.pippagreenwood.com/products/grow-great-crops for more information. As their name suggests, sunflowers need plenty of sunshine to thrive. However, although many are tall, each plant does not actually take up much space at ground level. Slugs and snails love sunflowers so I always grow them in small individual pots and plant them out when they’re a few inches tall. This means they’re bigger and tougher and better able to resist attack. As an added precaution, put a ring of slug-deterring material around the base of each one – crushed shells, crushed eggshells, coco-shell or pine needles for instance. If you’re growing sunflowers on anything other than a protected site, it may be necessary to give the taller varieties some support in the form of a sturdy bamboo cane or slim stake, just in case the wind blows too strongly! Visit Pippa’s website www.pippagreenwood.com and you’ll find some great gardening things: ‘Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood’ (where you receive your chosen garden-ready vegetable plants in May accompanied by weekly advice and tips from Pippa) plus RootTrainers, Nemaslug, bio-controls, gardening tools, raised bed kits, Grower Frames, signed books and more!

Cuddington Community Primary School stands out in Surrey with flagship inclusion quality mark Cuddington Community Primary School joins around 100 schools in the country and is the only primary school in Surrey awarded the Flagship status. The school, based in Worcester Park, already holds the Inclusion Quality Mark and during its recent review as a Centre of Excellence the assessor was so impressed with its excellent practice on inclusion and its sharing of good practice with other schools that the Flagship status was awarded. During the review, which took place in March, the assessor highlighted how the school works in close partnership with parents and provides workshops for them on various aspects of the curriculum, such as Singapore Maths. Parents spoke very highly of the school and the exceptional support it provides pupils with SEND. One parent commented that ‘they have very high expectations’ and another said she liked the way the school and parents work together on the children’s targets stating ‘They know what suits each child, it feels right, it’s not them and us’ whilst another parent said ‘All the children in the school know each other and they are all very accepting of differences’. The report stated that ‘The school has very high expectations of its pupils who are nurtured and cared for on an individual basis by all staff’. All the children at Cuddington Community Primary take part in lunchtime clubs which strengthens their relationships and further develops the inclusive ethos. Pupils were keen to articulate their enjoyment of learning and the school values, with one pupil saying ‘We do our best at everything’, and another saying ‘It’s probably one of the friendliest schools in the world’. The assessor was also

impressed with the excellent integration of pupils from the Jubilee Centre into mainstream lessons where appropriate. The school was praised for its ‘very interesting developmental work’ to ensure strategies meet the needs of pupils and The Howard Partnership Trust was also commended for allowing its schools to keep their unique features whilst providing them with support and consistency around strategies and systems. Lee Herdman, Head of School says “I am proud to lead Cuddington Community Primary School, it is such a fantastic community, where every member of staff is committed to bring out the best in its children and staff. The school is made even more fantastic by its diversity and passion for inclusion.” For more information on Cuddington Community Primary School please see the website at cuddington.surrey.sch.uk

Parkin' some thoughts by Nick Hazell

Faith I’d almost forgotten about Nigel Farage. Having inspired political and economic chaos of epic proportions I thought he had abandoned the listing ship of the British Isles to its fate. But no. A recent cab ride revealed that someone, clearly not of sound mind, has given him a slot on a Talk Radio station from which he can engage with the public on a range of Daily Express headline grabbing topics. The results, if my listening was anything to go by, are normally car crashes of an insurance underwriter’s nightmares and enough to question one’s faith in humanity. I mentioned this to Mrs H who, being a bit of an authority when it comes to females with a talent for running and then in the final stages of training for the Brighton Marathon, referred me to the work of Katherine Switzer. I’d not heard of her and my admission was the cause of such eye rolling as would have made our teenager proud. A swift bit of research though revealed that in 1967, she became the first woman to run the Boston Marathon as a numbered entry. This was at a time when such things were just not done and the words “diversity” and “training” were distant cousins liable to meet infrequently at family weddings and bicker over the vol au vonts, rather than the conjoined twins they are today. It therefore had to be done in disguise. Such an audacious venture was not without risk. In fact, as a result of the prevailing lack of enlightenment, a race official thinking that such a feat of stamina was beyond the capabilities of the “fragile sex” and seeing through her not so cunning disguise of a bad wig and oversized jogging pants, attempted to grab her race bib and forcibly remove her from the course. In doing so, he not only sealed his reputation as a total arse but also ensured the future eligibility of female numbered runners. Although an interesting story of itself, it was a subsequent observation of its heroine to which Victoria was alluding. She said that “if you are losing faith in human nature, go out and watch a marathon” and whilst spectating events unfold in Brighton I

realised it’s truth. Marathon crowds don’t distinguish between ability, gender or age. Theirs is just a universally good natured desire to see everyone succeed and finish unscathed. The crowds scream the names of runners they don’t know, encouraging them, cajoling them to make it to the finish and providing a source of extra strength to make it across the line. It’s infectious too. Whereas my natural inclination might be to politely clap on the sidelines and mutter encouragement in a very otherwise British way, I found myself shouting at strangers, cheering them on, telling them to keep going, convincing them they could do it when they looked physically spent and assuring them that they were nearly there. I realised afterwards that as I was standing at the half way point, this last phrase was perhaps misleading at best. Still, in a world where Farage can still find a forum and almost every day there’s a report of some atrocity or crime having been committed by some government, group or lone nutter, standing amongst a few thousand people whose collective desire was simply to see the assortment of athletes of different colours, creeds, shapes and sizes succeed was instantly refreshing. Katherine also said something else in the context of marathon running that I’ve had to try and apply to life generally in these past few years. She said “all you need is the courage to believe in yourself and put one foot in front of another”. That’s actually not bad advice for us Parkies even if at times doing one is a lot simpler than the other.
