As some of you will already know, Tina Jamieson is retiring from her post as our LRC manager at half term.
Tina started working here in September 1988 and since then has very much made the LRC and its activities her own. She was involved in the initial transformation from an old-fashioned and under-utilised library to a modern resource centre combining access to books with the ever increasing use of technology. Throughout her twenty-five years, Tina has welcomed all pupils to her domain while ensuring that it has remained the best kept and most appealing space in the school. She has encouraged children to read, developed their leadership skills through the LRC assistant posts and provided care and support where necessary. She has also been the provider of spare uniform and a salesperson for various small but essential items of school equipment as well as revision guides and other resources to aid pupils and parents with their preparedness for school. 
Tina has also been responsible for maintaining the school archives and other records, a task she has undertaken with meticulous attention to detail.
Tina has been passionately committed to our school and its community and truly exemplifies the spirit and practice of the “Lanfranc family”. Her son Alan and daughter Claire, who is now a teacher in a Croydon secondary school, were successful pupils here and her husband, Jim, remains an active and supportive school governor.
Tina’s ever positive presence will be sorely missed by everyone at the school and her contribution will be cherished and highly valued by many generations of Lanfrancians.
Thank you, Tina. |

Aimhigher Universities Week 2013
This year the Aimhigher group of Year 10 students visited Kingston, Oxford, Royal Holloway and Roehampton Universities. They were yet again a credit to Lanfranc School wherever they went. The behaviour was always exemplary and their intelligence and contribution to each day was outstanding. The group produced a synopsis of the main points that they themselves felt were significant in the course of the week. The content of the week did not involve which courses they might choose but a multitude of issues that would surround going to University.

I left Archbishop Lanfranc in 2008 and I'm currently in my second year at the University of Nottingham studying Architecture. I have been lucky enough to be chosen to take part in designing and building a school in a rural township in Limpopo, South Africa this April. |

On 23rd April I went with Ms Nixon into London to collect my prize for winning the Croydon Borough Fourth Plinth Art Award.
We set off from school early and caught the tram and train into London. It was a beautiful, sunny day so we walked along the river past HMS Belfast taking a few photos and finally reached City Hall.  
We went through security and collected our passes and walked up the spiral walkway to the conference hall. All along the wall was the display of winners art work. When I looked up I saw my design high up on the wall. I really enjoyed looking at all of the art work by the other London Borough winners.
In the hall I sat with the other prize winners and went up when my name was called. When the title of my work ‘I Love You My Darling’ was read out there was an 'Ahhh' from the audience.
After the prize giving ceremony we had the opportunity to take some more photographs. We were given a packed lunch and sat outside City Hall enjoying the sunshine and the view of Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. Mehran Sarwar (Year 9) |

With the cancellation of the South of England championships because of the heavy snow earlier, the indoor season came down to two consecutive weekends either side of the half term holiday. Three new young athletes made their individual debuts in club competition at the Surrey Championships and Creston Harrison resumed his progress after a long spell recovering from injury.
