Pupils from the two Sixth Form Schools, QE College and the Faculty of Queen Ethelburga’s, celebrated another year with a 100% pass rate for all Year 13 pupils, studying both A-Levels and BTECs, as well as fantastic grades and results. Last year QE College was ranked 7th in the independent boarding schools’ league table,
QE Principal, Steven Jandrell, was delighted with the news for both schools: “Once more it has been another highly successful year, with excellent A-Level and BTEC results. Our pupils and teaching teams have worked hard to produce brilliant grades and they should all be very proud of what they have achieved.”
Yorkshire youngsters jumped for joy on results day at Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate near York. drawn up by the Sunday Times. It is the top school in the North of England and its impressive results this year should guarantee a high ranking again. The College has seen another outstanding year with its A-Level results. 81% of grades at A-Level were A*-A and 98% were A*-B. The Faculty of Queen Ethelburga’s, which offers students the opportunity to do more vocational subjects at BTEC, celebrated some of its best results ever. 81% of grades at A-Level were A*-A (up from last year’s 76%) and 97% of grades were A*-B (up from last year’s 90%). The Faculty’s 88% Distinction*-Distinction pass rate at BTEC (equating in UCAS points to an A/A* grade at A-Level) shows equal strength in these qualifications.
“These results will again confirm our place as one of the top schools in the independent sector in the country, but it is also very satisfying personally to know that our ethos to work with every student individually, finding subjects from our wide range which they enjoy and can excel at, really achieves such fantastic outcomes.” “It is another great results’ day and we are extremely pleased for our students, not just because of their grades but because they will now go on to study at some of the most prestigious universities in the world,” added the Head of QE College, Dan Machin. Faculty Head, Kevin Oldershaw, agreed: “We are particularly pleased with the grades that our students achieved at A-Level, as
well as our BTEC results. I am delighted to see so many of our pupils gain their places at some of the best universities, places that were studiously worked for and are now richly deserved.” 18-year-old Ben Steward from Selby is delighted to have been offered a place to study History at Oxford University. “It’s meant a great deal of hard work and determination from me but a matching commitment from my teachers at QE. I am really pleased with this opportunity.” 18-year-old Mary Fesenko will head to Oxford University in the autumn to study Biology. Mary, a student at Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate near York, gained A* in English, A* in Russian, A* in Chemistry and A in Biology and was delighted by her achievements. “I logged onto the UCAS website to see whether I had been offered a place or not and when I saw that I had been assigned Magdalen College I was pretty speechless,” she said. “I know it sounds like a cliché, but this really is an amazing opportunity and if I can survive the rigours of three years of study at Oxford, I think I can get through anything.” Mary has high ambitions with her further studies. She hopes to work in the area of public engagement and science, or as a scientific advisor to the government or even work in scientific research exploring the use of stem cells. “My time at Queen Ethelburga’s has been fantastic and has really helped prepare me for life at Oxford. I have had a brilliant opportunity getting to know lots of people from different backgrounds and different cultures and won’t forget my time here.” Mary’s fellow students at the two Sixth Form Schools, QE College and the Faculty of Queen Ethelburga’s, were also celebrating an excellent set of A-Level and BTEC results. The schools welcomed another year with a 100% pass rate for all Year 13 pupils, studying both A-Levels and BTECs.

Strange of London Luxe jewellery brand Strange of London attracted our attention particularly for its ethics. Emerging designer Matthew Strange has created a range of stunning yet wearable pieces inspired by elements of British nature in a fusion of art and design. The message is awareness of the natural world and collections such as ‘Honey Bee’ aim to make people ‘Bee Aware’ of the plight of the British Honey Bee whilst highlighting the creature’s beauty in a timeless piece of jewellery. Whilst for honey bee fans the jewellery symbolises their importance, the jewellery is sure to inspire admiration from non-naturalists for the immaculate detail and exceptional quality of each hand made piece. Sienna Miller is just one celebrity fan seen recently in her honey bee pendant on the set of her up-coming film as Matthew specialises in film set and TV jewellery design and bespoke special commissions. Strange of London designs are intricately made by hand in London and a range is available to shop now at www.MODEforLuxury.co.uk

Pure Natural Beauty Box All things bright and beautiful can be found in a Pure Natural Box.We go out of our way to feed our bodies the good stuff to ensure inner beauty and if you’re filling your daily diet with organic goods it makes sense that you pay the same care to the potions and lotions you use on the outside. So when we were given the opportunity to review the first totally green beauty box, how could we possibly say no? But our love for the green and good Pure Natural Box didn’t run out with their Summer offering. We’re just as smitten with their latest second edition box which is packed full of fabulous organic beauty products including three full size items! We’ve got high hopes for the Bodhi & Birch Rosa Rosa Clarifying Cleanser and Green People Age Defy+ 24 Hour Brightening Moisturiser. Head online to find out why buying one of their boxes could be the best beauty investment you make with our full review of the first edition box and interview with founder and creator Rebecca Lannon at www.MODEforLuxury.co.uk

25 years, Newson has teamed up with Danish firm Georg Jensen to create a sterling-silver tea set. Limited to just 10 sets, each stamped with a distinctive Marc Newson makers mark, the contemporary tea-service requires more than three months of hand hammering and is priced at £82,000.
Let the games begin... Backgammon is one of the oldest games in existence. Popular among Emperors from Zeno to Nero (who supposedly gambled the equivalent of $10,000 on one game…) and still played today, it’s a game that has stood the test of time and Angry Birds, so it seems only fair that the old favourite should get a makeover. Enter Alexandra Llewellyn. The British designer has been playing backgammon all her life, with her love for the game reaching back to her childhood as she strolled through the streets of Cairo with her Egyptian step-grandfather, hearing the rattle of dice on large wooden crate-boards. Now she has turned her hand from playing the boards to designing them and aren't we glad. Working with an incredible network of British craftsman, Alexandra has a collection of 8 boards each centred around a theme, we particularly love the Carnival edition. Whether you’re a novice or an old hand at backgammon, a beautiful board will surely cement your fondness for the game and backgammon boards don’t get more beautiful than Alexandra’s. 31

Hamilton Conte Founded in 2009, Hamilton Conte Paris is a high end furniture and home accessories brand, creating nostalgic and yet entirely present pieces, each with their own unique story. It draws inspiration from the diverse backgrounds and complementary talents of its two founders – Ross Hamilton Englisbe and Fabián Pellegrinet Conte. Combining passionate creativity with pragmatism, both designers approach their craft with originality and warmth. Devoted to artisanal production and attention to detail, their artistic approach takes inspiration from a variety of styles and cultures. They merge design movements from the 1950s and 1970s, the Americas and Scandinavia, and all with a touch of Parisian flair. The recent presentation at Maison & Objet Paris continued the 2015 line with several extension products and a completely new fabric range. The idea of relaxed luxury is reinforced by this new range with an exciting array of solid and print fabrics in velvets, chenilles, satins, contract grade fabrics, and a wide variety of weaves. Brass and brass effect products play an important role in the range. Hamilton Conte Paris have brought in some subtle colours but are predominately focused on elegant neutrals. There is a complete new collection of artworks by Fabian Pellegrinet Conte in both large and small formats. Their creations offer all elements of an interior space: furniture, seating, lighting, and objets d’art. “For me, luxury is about being able to work with craftsmen, taking the time to care about details as well as pleasure in doing so” says Fabián Pellegrinet Conte.

Featured Designer: Ochre Founded by two British women with enough ideas in common and enough independence to inspire each other to start a company, Ochre is a small design company which despite it's growth has remained true to its underlying principles: to use high quality materials and flawless craftsmanship to create objects of style and beauty which are both timeless and contemporary. Now a team of three (extremely talented) women, sophisticated lighting remains at the core of Ochre’s collections but an expanded portfolio now offers the possibility of an even more complete Ochre interior which is something we couldn't be more excited about.

at L’Escargot After a skillfull restoration, L’Escargot is now one of London’s most eccentric and lavish restaurants and members clubs. Housed in a 280 year old town house, this famous Soho landmark was established in 1927 by M. Georges Gaudin and rapidly became the favourite rendezvous of the French émigré community, socialites, and stars of the local theatres. There is now a sense of history repeating itself with the creatives, artists, foodies, and bohemians making it their new home. We had the pleasure of dining at the famed and revered restaurant in the heart of Soho on a recent trip and were awed by its intimate atmosphere, decadent décor and impressive menu. Sat at a table for two we couldn’t shake the feeling that we were in fact privileged guests at an elaborate dinner party, basking in a warm energy which had enveloped us from the moment we walked through the door, but perhaps the welcome glass of Laurent Perrier had something to do with that?

#MODEstays
At the Ayana Resort... All the must-have elements of a Balinese getaway come together at one of the island’s most lauded—and lavish— properties, a cliff-top resort in the heart of upscale Jimbaran Bay on 190 acres, with several swimming pools, an award-winning spa, and a private beach. Famous for its breathtaking sunsets, world class facilities and legendary service, formerly a RitzCarlton, the award-winning hotel was relaunched as the AYANA in 2009. With guest suites offering views across lush botanical gardens to the Indian Ocean beyond and 15 restaurants, cafes and bars across the resort including the famous Rock Bar and 11 pools (the River Pool was our personal favourite) to enjoy, not to mention the on-site World class Thermes Marins Bali Spa, we felt transported to a rare paradise. Spoilt for choice (and with attention) our memories of the AYANA and our Balinese adventure are some of our most cherished and decadent. Read the full review online at www.MODEforLuxury.co.uk

GETTING AROUND
#MODEdrives
Rolls-Royce Wraith Power, performance, prestige. The Wraith is not only the most technologically advanced RollsRoyce ever built, it is also the most powerful. This is a car for the curious, the confident and the bold. Outstanding performance is married with exuberant luxury, all delivered in a style that exudes a sense of glamour and poise. Every aspect of the car’s purposeful design creates an alluring sense of something very special. Intended to push the boundaries of design and engineering, Wraith is the embodiment of Sir Henry Royce’s vision: “Take the best that exists and make it better. When it does not exist, design it.” This model has all the luxury refinements one would expect from a Rolls-Royce, yet it is designed and built to perform. A potent 6.6 litre, turbo-charged V12 engine delivers an incredible 624 bhp, powering the car from 0-60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. While the Wraith is both bold and unique, it is still a Rolls-Royce through and through. The principal design statements that set this prestigious marque apart are present in the classic 2:1 proportions of wheel to roof height and the signature rear-hinged coach doors. This car challenges and pushes Rolls-Royce’s aesthetic boundaries. When seen in profile, its elegant fastback design gives it a unique, dramatic silhouette. The deeply recessed vertical front grille accents the car’s power and purpose while the twin exhausts are instantly dramatic. Even the Spirit of Ecstasy, which is angled further forward to give it a bold stance, adds to the drama. The combined effect is a car that creates a unique sense of theatre and arrival wherever it goes. We absolutely loved this car which is the pinnacle of luxury and speed combined perfectly.

#MODEdrives Bentley Flying Spur W12 In the MODE Motors Special I was very impressed by the Bentley Mulsanne Speed so I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to get the keys to the Bentley Flying Spur with its huge W12 engine. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappointed. The Flying Spur is an exceptional big luxury car. It simply offers everything from the incredible power, acceleration and top speeds on tap to satisfying those who demand unrestrained luxury. It delivers the ultimate motoring experience, for driver and passengers alike. This is a car to drive and be driven in. It offers limousine comfort in the back but some say the best seat is in the front. I totally agree. It is an absolutely thrilling car to be in control of on the open road. I spent many hours driving and covered many miles but every minute felt very special. I found myself leaving the house a couple of hours before dawn on a beautiful dry Sunday morning to make the most of quiet roads heading for Derbyshire then Manchester through to Cheshire and then at sunset realising I should head home to Yorkshire. I love this Car. Go online now to read the full review at www.MODEforLuxury.co.uk

Lotus Evora 400 Faster, lighter and worthy of supercar status. The Lotus Evora 400 is the fastest Lotus road car of the New Millennium. Its lightweight chassis has been lowered and widened to make cockpit entry and exit to the 2+2 composite body easy. The Evora 400 exudes the Lotus spirit of lightness and driving purity so succinctly. Despite producing 400hp from its 3.5-litre supercharged V6 engine and with its comfortable cabin having many new features, the overall weight of the Evora 400 has been reduced over its forebear. As a result, its exquisite power to weight ratio, combined with an aerodynamic package that maintains zero lift but increases downforce at high speeds, simply enhances its supercar appeal. The exquisite 3.5-litre V6 engine has been modified significantly to achieve the supercar performance. Its induction system has been supplemented by a revised supercharger and a water-to-air chargecooler, that raises the power output. Select the first of the six, close-ratio, manual gears and the acceleration is very exciting. The max speed is 186mph. Underpinning the Evora 400 is a brand new, and low weight extruded and bonded chassis-tub. Based on more than 60 years of Lotus racing and sportscar developments, its torsional rigidity is outstanding. As one of the strongest chassis available, it allows the suspension to work more efficiently, to provide unparalleled grip, amazing comfort, supercar dynamics and an overall balance that is totally engaging. Yet, it is 48lbs (22kgs) lighter than the outgoing Evora model, features more equipment and literally doubles the downforce available. It is stylishly attractive, beautifully designed, yet purposefully aerodynamic. From its aggressive new front cooling intakes, past the fascinating lateral graphics, to its more prominent rear, 5-blade airflow diffuser and new three-element tail spoiler, it is every inch the purpose-built supercar.
