GEORGE’S MARVELLOUS
MEDICINE
by Roald Dahl
George is left looking after his grumpy
Granny when his parents go out. She’s
mean and really doesn’t like small boys!
When it’s time for Granny’s medicine,
George has a brainwave - perhaps he

WHY WE SLEEP
by Matthew Walker
Leading sleep scientist Walker has
lots to tell us about sleep. Far from
it being desirable to survive on a few
hours, it may be damaging our health
and leaving us open to illnesses such
as Alzheimer’s, cancer, obesity and
diabetes if we don’t get a good eight
hours a night. He shows how TV and
internet-enabled devices before bed
can suppress levels of melatonin that
are essential for good sleep.

IN HER
bones
From junior doctor to Time Team’s skeleton expert, Alice Roberts
has found fulfilment and wonder in the world of Science
Were you always interested in
the sciences?
“I loved science at school and
particularly biology. I had an
anatomy pop-up book when I
was about seven or eight and
was utterly fascinated by the
structure of the human body -
and I still am!”
Did anybody inspire you?
“I was particularly inspired
by great science writers like
Steven Jay Gould, Richard
Dawkins and Steve Jones. David
Attenborough was an inspiration
to me too, of course. But my dad
was also an important inspiration
to me - he’s an engineer and
taught me a lot about critical
thinking and questioning the
world around me, as well as
instilling a love of tinkering and
taking things apart to find out
how they worked.
“I suppose that’s why I ended
up doing human anatomy - I’m
fascinated by the way the human
body is put together and the
best way to understand that is to
take it apart! My local museum
and the hands-on science centre
were places that inspired me as a
child. My mum inspired me too
- particularly instilling a love of
reading and art.”
Do you think there’s a gender
divide when it comes to careers
within the sciences?
“Yes - but it’s different for
different sciences! I think it’s
really important that girls aren’t
turned off from doing physics
and engineering because those
are somehow seen as ‘boys’
subjects’ but I think it’s equally
important that boys aren’t turned
off from subjects like drama,
psychology and biology.
“These gender stereotypes are
social constructs that have the
power to narrow our children’s
horizons and lower their
ambitions. I think there’s a
strong moral imperative to tackle
those stereotypes - for the sake
of our boys as well as our girls.”
Tell us about your findings for
the Horizon programme, Is
Your Brain Male or Female?
The main conclusion is that
the answer to that question in
the title is ‘no’! Sex differences
explain a really tiny amount
of the variation that exists in
neuroanatomy and psychology
between one person and another.
A lot of the differences we do
see between adults arise because
of cultural influences. Cordelia
Fine has written a fascinating
book called Delusions of Gender
about all this. What’s weird is
that people seem to want there
to be more of a difference than

INTERVIEW
“GENDER STEREOTYPES
ARE SOCIAL CONSTRUCTS
THAT NARROW OUR
CHILDREN’S HORIZONS
AND LOWER THEIR
AMBITIONS”

there actually is.”
How did your career path
progress from school onwards?
“I wanted to do something
which involved applied science
and medicine was the obvious
choice. After my medical degree,
I worked as a junior doctor in
South Wales, then took a job
at Bristol University, teaching
anatomy to medical students,
while still doing surgery some
evenings and weekends.
“I stayed on as a lecturer -
planning to go back to surgery
but I gradually became more
embedded in academia and
did a part time PhD alongside
teaching and doing research
on archaeological skeletons.
My TV work developed out of
my research interest, when I
became a human bone expert on
Time Team. I fitted that around
academic work. I left Bristol
in 2009 and went completely
freelance for a couple of years
before taking up a professorship
in public engagement at the
University of Birmingham,
where I still work. My various
roles now include a mix of
academic research and teaching,
writing and broadcast work and
I love the variety and the synergy
in these different areas.”
What advice would you give to
female pupils who are keen to
follow in your footsteps?
“Go for it - follow your passion!
And of course I’d say that to the
boys too.”

FUTURE FAMILY
Together, StemCellCare and Future Health Biobank are
making stem cell treatments possible. Giving you the resources
to help your loved ones when they need it most

PROMOTION
Stem Cell Banking: The Lowdown
WHAT IS IT?
Stem cell banking is a once in a lifetime
opportunity that many parents are utilising to
help protect their families against potential
life threatening conditions.
The most common form of stem
cell banking is for umbilical
cord blood and tissue. The
sample is taken at birth and
there are two types of stem
cells contained in cord blood
and tissue:
Haematopoietic stem cells
(found in the cord blood) – which
have numerous current applications –
HSCT (Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplants)
are common treatments for diseases such as
Leukaemia and Fanconi’s Anaemia
Mesenchymal stem cells
(found in the cord tissue) – which have more
future applications – potentially treating
conditions such as Cerebral Palsy and Autism.
“…in an average
person’s life (70 years)
there is a
1 in 217
chance of them requiring
a transplant of their
own or someone else’s
stem cells”
WHAT ARE THEY USED FOR?
There are currently around 80 conditions for which
the use of Stem cell therapy is now considered
relatively standard, with over 4,500 cord
blood transplants taking place every
year. However, the cost of using stem
cells even for these approved
therapies is high and, in some
cases, can be in excess of
£100,000. Making these
treatments accessible via an
insurance policy is a major
step forward in biobanking. In
the study by JJ Nietfield*, it is
forecast that in an average person’s
life (70 years) there is a 1 in 217
chance of them requiring a transplant of
their own or someone else’s stem cells.
WHAT ARE THE FUTURE
APPLICATIONS?
There are currently over 300 clinical trials underway
aiming to expand the standard therapies that
cord blood and tissue can be used for. The greater
number of potential uses, the more value your
stored sample will have to your child and family.
If you currently store stem cells for your child and are interested in getting more
information about StemCellCare insurance provided by Future Family, please visit
www.stemcellcare.co.uk or email us at support@stemcellcare.co.uk
In association with Future Health Biobank, the UKs largest and most accredited biobank

Science
Why the secret to success lies in
establishing a smarter sleep routine
Why are teenagers always tired when they need to
be awake and wired when they need to be asleep?
Most teenagers average around seven hours’ sleep
a night; however, studies have shown that they
should be aiming for an average of nine.
Why do teenagers struggle to get enough sleep?
Teenage sleep patterns, like all sleep patterns,
are set by our built-in circadian rhythm. During
adolescence there is a shift in circadian rhythms 1 ,
linked to the onset of puberty and its associated
hormonal changes.
Today, this is compounded by the extensive use
of technology. Growing use of blue light-emitting
devices in the hour before bed – is proven to
suppress the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin.
Exposure to blue light can also increase alertness
and shift our natural biological rhythm 2 .

In addition, we can’t underestimate the stress

Combined, this can make getting enough sleep a
major challenge, affecting the ability to learn and
retain information. Most importantly, it can affect
self-esteem, confidence and outlook on life.

At This Works we aim to help even our youngest
customers establish a good sleep routine, with
natural solutions that are proven to work.
Our deep sleep pillow spray is proven to help
teenagers fall asleep faster, enjoy a less disturbed
night’s sleep and also wake feeling less anxious the
following day.
We’ve also looked at the effect of our sleep plus

MAJOR TIM
Tim Peake is the charismatic astronaut who visited the
International Space Station (ISS) for six months on his historic
Principia mission. His book, Ask an Astronaut, answers all the
wonderfully funny and serious questions his avid fans have
asked him since his return to Earth
During his mission,
Tim conducted
numerous groundbreaking
science
experiments and
engaged the British
public in ingenious ways. Tim became
the first British astronaut to complete a
spacewalk and the first person to run the
London marathon in space. He spoke
to hundreds of thousands of school
children back on Earth via events such
as the Cosmic Classroom live from the
ISS, engaging over one million children
during the whole mission. He was also
involved in other memorable events, such
as presenting the BRIT Awards live from
space in a dinner jacket.
Tim is married with two sons and
enjoys skiing, scuba diving, cross-country
running, climbing and mountaineering and
he completed the London Marathon in
2006. His other interests include quantum
physics and aviation.
Here is a cosmic taster of
Ask an Astronaut…
What was your luxury item on board?
The item that I got the most pleasure from
was definitely my camera.
How long does it take to get to orbit?
The entire launch sequence took a thrilling
eight minutes and 48 seconds from launch
pad to orbit.
What surprised you the most when you
first got into space?
Just how black space appeared. It is the
blackest black you could ever possibly
imagine and it looks truly remarkable.
What is the best bit about floating?
It’s very relaxing and a wonderfully
liberating sensation, as you don’t have to
work against Earth’s gravity.
What was the worst thing about living
in space?
Ha, what a great question! By far the
grossest thing about living in space is
watching the soles of your feet disintegrate
during the first couple of months.

INTERVIEW
How do you wash your clothes in space?
There is no washing machine on the
space station and water is a very precious
resource, so we just wear the same clothes
for several days before we exchange them
for a new item.
How do you cut your hair and shave?
Cutting hair in space is actually
remarkably easy. We use a set of hair
clippers that have been modified; they
have a rubber-tube attachment to a
vacuum cleaner.
What was your favourite space food?
There were several foods that I really
enjoyed. Unsurprisingly, the food prepared
by Heston Blumenthal and his team
topped the list!
What was your most essential item on
board? I always carried a small torch and a
Leatherman multi-tool on me. I used both
items several times a day.
How do you become an astronaut?
There are certain skills and characteristics
that you need to possess. Some of these
attributes may surprise you - being good
at languages is extremely useful. Academic
requirements only get you so far. It is your
drive, your enthusiasm and above all, your
personality and character that will enable
you to succeed.

TECHNOLOGY
Appy KIDS
Get your kids coding, writing computer programmes
and even creating apps at a fun holiday camp
If you’re looking for a holiday camp with a twist for
your children, Cypher coding camps might just be
perfect for you.
Described by Elizabeth Tweedale, the founder
of Cypher as: “Camps with a perfect balance of
art, physical activities and coding,” children will
complete the week with a good knowledge of
coding and even more impressively, will be writing
their own apps.
In the future every professional will benefit from
a knowledge of code - the language of the future.
These camps can help get children ahead of the
game in a fun and inspiring environment.
Coding is the language of technology and with
this, children are able to understand the core
principles of computer science. Elizabeth, an
ex-gamer who went on to
study computer studies at
university, has been teaching
children to code for over
four years and firmly
believes: “Everybody is
going to need to understand
coding in the future.”
Amazingly, Elizabeth
says that children as young
as four can start learning to
code with the block-based
language, Scratch.
The UK is the third country in the world to
have included Computer Science in the national
curriculum and Cypher goes above and beyond
this to help children master coding and programming
- an impressive talent to add to any CV.
The Cypher camps focus on using coding for
different themes such as magic, fashion, architecture
and the world-building game Minecraft, which
ensures the week is fun, entertaining and relevant
for all interests and skills.
Elizabeth’s current book How
to Code 2.0 is a must-read for any
aspiring coders and covers the
basics of computer science through
to being able to create apps. Each
chapter is based on different
professions you can aspire to

HACKER’S
DREAM?
From smart home tech to sensitive
data, protect your home and family
with dedicated Cyber Insurance
from our experienced advisers

PROMOTION
It’s only natural to prioritise your home’s physical security but digital crime now poses
one of the most significant threats to high net worth families. Advanced home and
communications technology and ever-more sophisticated hackers can all spell trouble
for your safety and security...
COMMUNICATION TECH
PCs, laptops, tablets and phones are not
the only targets of malware and phishing
attacks. How many gadgets in your house
are connected to your phone or to your
bank account?
Smart home tech may have more access
than you realise, so check allowance
settings and change passwords regularly.
PHYSICAL SAFETY THREATS
Criminals may target a wealthy individual
through their family or other third parties,
including their personal assistants and
domestic employees.
Dangers can include extortion, online
harassment and even stalking. Remind
loved ones to review social media privacy
settings and contact police if worried.
DIGITAL ASSETS
Wealthy or high profile individuals
with access to sensitive and valuable
commercial and personal data can be
attractive targets to cybercriminals.
Bank account hacks, ID theft or leaked
financial information can cause both
private and business losses, so consider
your email accounts and cloud storage.
SECURITY BREACHES
Aside from hackers, personal data can also
be compromised by financial advisers,
household employees and trusted
confidants, often unintentionally; consider
a phone accidentally left on a train or
confidential data sent to a mistyped
email address.
Security breaches can devastate your
reputation, finances, IT networks and
physical safety, as well as leaving you
feeling vulnerable. Dedicated Cyber

How a tiny invertebrate inspired a life-long love of primates in
evolutionary biologist and broadcaster Ben Garrod
When did you realise you wanted to work in
the sciences?
“I was about three or four, staying with my
grandparents. My granddad took me for walks on
the beach. We returned home one day when it had
been raining and found lots of little red worms over
his garden path. I didn’t understand where they had
come from and my granddad told me they were
moon worms. I was fascinated by them and this was
the first step on my way to becoming a scientist.”
How did your school years influence your career?
“I loved school and learning; I still do. I was
probably a weird student. One day on a run on the
beach, I found a seven-foot long species of British
shark. I thought it would be great to dissect at
lunch time and took it back to school. I will never
forget the look on my biology teacher’s face!”
What are your feelings towards the way the
Sciences are taught within schools?
“It needs to be done properly. There are some
amazing science teachers out there already but I
would like to see more scientists teaching.”
When did you get your first big break?

was a waiter!) and by the time I’d served ice cream,
I had her email address. Weeks later, I was working
for Jane in Africa, looking after wild chimpanzees.”
What is an Evolutionary Biologist?
“The best job in the world. A biologist studies
living things; the ‘evolutionary’ bit means things
that evolve and change over time. My main area
of specialism is great apes, monkeys and other
primates. It’s a very cool job.”
Why do you love dinosaurs?
“They’re awesome! I think they are so popular
because they make you think about them–we have
a jigsaw with only a few pieces and have to go
hunting for the extra pieces to build a picture of life
millions of years ago.”
What is your favourite dinosaur and why?
“I’m a massive geek and think being brainy is a
good thing . . . it makes sense then that I’d go for a
brainy dinosaur. My favourite is Troodon. It has the
biggest brain of any dinosaur for its body size and
we assume it was a clever hunter.”
You worked with David Attenborough on
Attenborough and the Giant Dinosaurs; how was
it working with the great master?
“It was brilliant – not because of who he is
but because of how he is. David still has that
unstoppable passion that many of us have in
childhood. He has a great sense of humour.”
Has anything funny happened while filming?
“I once filmed with an emu that kept trying to
attack the soundman. I couldn’t stop laughing.”
What work are you most proud of ?
“Running a project with Jane Goodall working with
chimpanzees in Uganda. It was hard but I loved it
and I was able to make some small difference.”
What advice would you give to kids eager to
follow in your footsteps?
“Don’t follow in someone else’s footsteps – make
your own. Be proud of who you are and try as many
interesting side paths along the bigger journey –
you never know where you will end up or what fun
you’ll have along the way.”
What do you need for a career in the Sciences?
“A real passion for the work you do and a mind that

you’re already halfway there.”
You presented Hyper Evolution, Rise of the Robots,
do you think robots could take over the world?
“Nope.”
What is your greatest concern for our planet?
“People. We are the reason it’s in trouble but we are
also the solution and we need to remember that.
Why do you love your job?
“My mum once said to me: ‘look for a job that
means when you wake up most mornings you are
looking forward to the day ahead’. That’s exactly
what my job does and I love it.”
Do you still have Lola as your pet?
“Ha ha, I do. Lola is a skeleton of a monkey I’ve

who found her in the Amazon. She sits on a branch

WEALTH
Safeguarding the current and
future lifestyle of you and your
loved ones isn’t simply a matter
of wise investment. Planning for
the future means asking some big
questions about where you are
now and where you want to be
So, how do you chart a course towards a more
certain future for yourself and your family?
1. o c to ic
Before getting into the details of your assets,
liabilities, income and outgoings you need to
remind yourself of what you want to achieve and
what’s important to you. It’s about articulating your
personal goals. For example, do you want to retire
in five years’ time? Would you like to move abroad?
Is there a personal project you’d love to focus on?
When you’re clear about your aspirations – for
your family as well as yourself – you can start to
plan how to achieve them, bearing in mind the
‘winds of change’ that might blow you off course.
2. no ou ot
Cash-flow may not currently be an issue for you
but prepare yourself. Many wealthier families are
surprised when they take a closer look at how much
they spend. Be thorough when analysing the net value
of your estate and cash-flow. Don’t kid yourself!

PROMOTION
“You need to
remind yourself of
what you want to
achieve and what’s
important to you”
3. Think about the unthinkable
While it’s impossible to plan for every eventuality,
there are some scenarios you need to consider to
ensure your plans aren’t completely derailed. These
are the hard questions to face. How will your family
fare if you’re not around? What happens if your
company fails or you lose your livelihood?
You need to weigh up your Will as well as
insurance options – not just to give yourself and
your family basic reassurance but to ensure their
standard of living can be maintained. Think about
medical insurance, income replacement and life
assurance for you and your spouse.
4. Don’t put off the Inheritance Tax
question
There is no escaping death or taxes. Inheritance
Tax (IHT) planning can certainly mitigate some of
the burden on your loved ones. Particularly, given
the rate of tax is set at 40% on an estate above
£325,000 on death.
Making significant lifetime gifts and surviving
seven years from the date of the gift is perhaps the
easiest route to lowering the IHT bill. However, you
need to be clear on how much you can afford to
give away without affecting your current standard
of living and without ‘spoiling’ your children/
grandchildren.
5. Be smart with your specialists
Whether drafting a Will, creating trusts or buying
overseas property, your plans may be complex and
multifaceted. You may already have a family lawyer,
an accountant or tax specialist that advises you.
However, you need to be sure that they have the
breadth and depth of experience appropriate to
your current level of assets and your current needs.
At HSBC Private Banking, we have the knowledge
and experience to understand your goals and help
you plan to achieve them.

NEW scientists
Having ambitious vision, creating a strong curriculum and a
sense of fun ensures that girls can excel at the sciences, says
Dr Felicia Kirk, Headmistress, St Mary’s Calne
“Women are woefully underrepresented
in science university
courses and in science careers. A
staggeringly low nine per cent
of engineers are women. There
are huge opportunities for girls
in science and I have found that
girls love the subject. We know
that girls in an all-girls school are
more likely to take science subjects
because in our environment, they
are liberated from stereotypes
which teach them that science is
‘a boy thing’. Girls consistently
do better in science subjects
in girls’ schools and they are
particularly more likely to study
Physics. If we are to address the
under-representation of women
in science, then we as a girls’
school have a vital role to play
in providing a stimulating and
inspirational science programme.
The Science Department at
St Mary’s Calne has ambitious
vision and strong strategic
direction. Science teachers are
constantly evaluating how they
deliver the curriculum, looking
for ways to develop the students’
ability to draw links across the
disciplines and to gain a deeper
understanding of the Big Ideas
in Science. Their approach is very

lead small group meetings and
National Science Week is an

Simply
MARY
With five million copies of her books sold so far, Mary Berry seems
unstoppable. We explore her views on how to inspire the next
generation and delve into her latest cookbook, Classic
Mary Berry can be
described as the person
who single-handedly
brought baking back into
fashion and it seems her
personal mission is “to get
everybody baking.” Having taught the nation how
to cook over the past four decades and with over
75 cookery books and several television shows
including The Great British Bake Off under her
belt, Mary is hands-down the country’s favourite
baker and she appeals to all age groups. She was
first encouraged to pursue cooking at school:
“Mrs Date my Domestic Science teacher greatly
inspired me, it was one of the only lessons I
enjoyed!” she reveals.
Mary went on to study at Le Cordon Bleu in
France before landing a series of jobs in catering
that led to her first book, The Hamlyn All Colour
Cookbook in 1970. Her Baking Bible of 2009
became a best-seller and she became Food Editor
of Ideal Home in 1970.

possible: “I think it should
really start in secondary
schools. In primary
schools, it’s difficult to put
the equipment in but in
secondary schools it
really makes a difference.”
She continues: “Parents
can start baking with
children when they are
younger and you can talk
to them about nutrition
in a simple way and
do a bit of simple food
preparation. They are
never too young to start
cooking and it’s better to
have a scone or bread mix to play with, rather than
Play Doh!”
Mary feels that cooking in schools is not given
the priority she feels it deserves but is pragmatic:
“The schools don’t have the facilities anymore and
that’s sad - but it is getting better. Parents often
run after-school clubs and teachers offer Saturday
morning cooking classes. We’re really lucky that
they help.”
Mary knows how important it is to enthuse
children and to encourage their love of creativity:
“The more they can do the better but they must
cook things that they enjoy eating! It’s no good
doing recipes they are not going to like or that are
too expensive. When children leave home to study
or work they should be able to cook at least 10
different meals that are nutritious and that don’t
cost too much.”
Continuing to foster a love of baking is also key,
Mary says: “It’s never too early to let them help
you cook their meal, which helps them learn all
about food. Take them to a farm shop and help
them understand where their food comes from -
it’s all a part of their education.”
Cooking is also a great way for children who are
perhaps not so academic to shine. “It’s something

explains. “The science

rewarding and those
children also get praise
from their family when
they have created
something delicious,
which is important -
perhaps especially so
when they have not done
so well at science or
maths. An understanding
of the nutrients in their
recipes gives them
lifelong lessons on the
importance of eating healthily as well.”
Mary was impressed by the skills of the
contestants on the Junior Bake-Off, who were
aged between nine and 12: “The kids were
absolutely amazing. They had been very well
taught and had a great interest in food and were
keen to learn. They were very good at analysing
and fully understanding what they were doing to
get to the final product. Children nowadays also
have a much more sophisticated palate and enjoy
a variety of curries and spicy foods, plus food like
couscous and quinoa which used not to be popular.
And they are brought up on chilli and curry!”
Mary’s new book, Classic is out now and it
showcases 120 favourite recipes. Mary admits
to cooking many of them regularly: “The book
includes updated recipes that everybody wants to
make that are great for families. There’s a French
Onion Soup, Haddock and
Spinach Pie, Chicken Curry,
Kedgeree and some vegetarian
recipes as well. Of course,
there’s a bit of baking too!

Delicious! These don’t
contain any flour,
so are perfect for
anyone who can’t

MARY’S CLASSIC TIP
It’s best to leave the cooked
brownies in the tin, rather than
trying to turn them over and
peel off the baking paper. They
are so gooey, the beautiful
crust will be crushed if they
are over-handled. Slice straight
from the tin, and use a palette
knife to remove each square.
Warm Fondant Brownies
MAKES 16 brownies / COOK TIME: 30–35 minutes, plus cooling
Ingredients
• 350g (12oz) dark chocolate,
broken into pieces
• 250g (9oz) butter, cubed, plus extra
for greasing 300g (11oz) dark
muscovado sugar
• 6 eggs
• 75g (3oz) ground almonds
Prepare Ahead
Can be made up to a day ahead and
reheated to serve warm.
Freeze
The cooked brownies freeze well.
Instructions
1. You will need a 23 x 30cm (9 x 12in)
traybake tin. Preheat the oven to
180°C/160°C fan/Gas 4, grease the tin
with butter and line with baking paper.
2. Place the chocolate in a heatproof
bowl, add the butter and set over a
saucepan of gently simmering water.
Heat through until runny and melted.
3. Measure the sugar into a bowl, add
the eggs and whisk until all the sugar
has been incorporated. Carefully pour
in the melted chocolate mixture and
stir until evenly mixed, then fold in
the ground almonds and gently stir
to combine.
4. Pour into the prepared tin and bake
in the oven for about 30–35 minutes or
until a light crust forms on top and the
mixture is firm around the edges but
still soft in the middle.
5. Leave to cool in the tin, to let the
brownies set, then cut into squares
and serve with ice cream.

HISTORY
Leading Architect Ken Shuttleworth tells us how his thirst
for adventure inspires the buildings he creates
How did you first become
interested in architecture?
As a child, I loved drawing; it
became something that defined
me. Building, visualising and
putting objects in a space was
fascinating. As I grew older, my
interest spanned both Arts and
Sciences and at seven, I decided I
wanted to be an architect!
What are the biggest challenges
in designing a new building?
It’s a bit like being on a see-saw;
on the one side, you have
practical constraints, like putting
in the air conditioning and the
building being able to stand up
properly - but on the other side,
one must focus on the right
aesthetics to please people, so
they enjoy being in
the space. You need a
physics background
to understand the
basic science but
you also need an eye
for creative design.

human achievement. As a child,
I lived through the Apollo
Missions, putting the first human
into space and the first man
on the moon. I find inspiration
around me all the time and I
never want to stop learning.
How did your school days shape
your outlook on your work?
I didn’t really enjoy school in
the early days; I was finding my
way until I reached my GCSEs
and A Levels. It was then that I
succeeded in gaining good results
in the arts, which spurred me on
and encouraged me to pursue my
dream of becoming an architect.
“AS A CHILD I LOVED DRAWING
AND IT BECAME SOMETHING
THAT DEFINED ME.”
Describe your architectural
style in three words?
Exploratory, pragmatic, joyful.
Tell us about ‘The Gherkin’.
It’s really called the St Mary’s
Axe Building, but I think it’s
a great nickname for it! The
original building (The Baltic
Exchange) on the site had been
destroyed in a terrorist attack in
1992. At Foster and Partners,
we won a competition to build a
tower and the idea was to make
the building as high as the Tower
42 (the former NatWest Tower,
41 storeys, around 180 metres
high). The key was to create the
maximum amount of ground
space with an interesting top
section that you could see from
a distance, a bit like St Paul’s
Cathedral. It doesn’t have a
front or back, so you can see the
whole of London from inside.
The shape becomes ‘stretched’
towards the top to make it more
elegant. It was a fantastic process
and we knew it was going to
become an iconic building
for London.
Who are the young architects to
watch out for?
There are many good people
working their way up. Experience
is hugely important in this

things with different projects.

Making
the right
move
Q & A with Lorna Woolley, Independent Educational Adviser,
who explains why the right school can be transformative
for a child with learning challenges
How did you first discover the need for specialist
educational advice?
Even as an experienced primary school teacher,
searching for the right educational setting for my
dyslexic sons was very stressful. Now I’m passionate
about helping other parents of children with
learning challenges.
Where do parents typically turn for help?
I feel strongly that for young people with dyslexia,
dyspraxia, ADHD, ODD, ASD, Aspergers, or other
learning difficulties, the focus should be on their
education. But I meet parents who have put their
faith in complex diets or expensive ‘therapies’, and
been disappointed that their child has still not
made significant progress.
How is your approach different?
I help parents find the most appropriate educational
setting for their child. Through extensive research
I’ve identified many independent schools
with talented staff dedicated to giving careful
consideration to each pupil’s own perspective,
and providing resources which match their
needs. I’ve seen, time and again, how when the
potential barriers to progress are removed in the
right school environment, pupils can truly thrive
and reach their potential.
When is the best time for parents to benefit from
your advice?
I support children of all ages: from as early as
starting school, mid-way through pre-prep or prep,
as well as at the transition into senior school or
even into post-16 education.
How would you summarise the support you offer?
My aim is to reduce the time and stress involved
in finding the best-fit school where a child can
really flourish, whatever their unique needs and
learning style. If necessary, I organise assessments
with experienced professionals. Based on this
information and on parents’ preferences, I suggest
options which might include moving school,
or sourcing the right extra support at the
current school.

with an incurable brain tumour
at the age of five and continues to
battle the effects of the disease.

There are six teams taking part

and “Toby’s Team” is being led
by Toby’s mum Tanya, together
with six close friends and fellow
Twyford mums - Lucy de Laszlo,
Bebe Corbett, Tiggy Corben,
Emily Bray, Sarah O’Gorman
and Philippa McNeil.
They are driven by Toby’s
courage in the face of his
diagnosis and gruelling
treatment. This has included
18 months of chemotherapy at
Southampton General Hospital
and two major brain surgeries,
most recently in 2016 at King’s
College Hospital, London.
Surgeons successfully removed
over 50 per cent of Toby’s
growing tumour. However postop,
Toby had to learn to walk
and function again. He is now
back at school and as Tanya says:
“He achieves so much – he is
inspirational, determined and
very gutsy. I hope we can all
show the same resolve during
Everest in the Alps.”
Tanya says that staff at
Twyford school have ensured
that Toby can take part in
normal, everyday school life:
“They do their utmost to make
sure he fits in and they adapt
things to make sure he doesn’t
get too tired. When Toby is at
school, he can be like any other
child and he loves that.”
Over 26,800 children and
young adults are diagnosed with
a paediatric low-grade brain
tumour every year. For many,
this means years of gruelling
chemotherapy, radiotherapy and
surgery. For those that survive,
62 per cent are left with lifealtering
disabilities. Despite
this, treatments have advanced
little and only 1.99 per cent
“We are thrilled that the money raised
through Everest in the Alps is being
used to establish The Everest Centre.
This pioneering research will allow
scientists to accelerate progress
towards finding more effective
treatments for the disease and could be
revolutionary in improving the lives of
children living with low grade tumours.”

This is the second Everest in

• Brain tumours are the biggest cancer
killer of children and adults under 40.
• In the UK 11,000 people are diagnosed
each year with a primary brain tumour,
including 600 children and young
people – that’s 30 people every day.
• Over 5,000 people lose their lives to
a brain tumour each year.
• Brain tumours reduce life expectancy
by an average of 20 years.
• Just 19% of adults survive for five
years after diagnosis.
• Over £500 million is spent on cancer
research in the UK every year; less than
two per cent is spent on brain tumours.

Toby’s diagnosis and to change
things for others in the future, is
truly inspirational.”
The Brain Tumour Charity is
at the forefront of the fight to
defeat brain tumours and aims
to make a difference to the lives
of children who suffer from the
condition and also their families.
Its pioneering research increases
survival rates, raises awareness
of the symptoms and effects
of brain tumours and provides
support for everyone affected.
The charity’s goals are to double
survival rates from brain tumours
within 10 years in the UK and
to reduce by half the negative
impact that brain tumours have
on quality of life.

SPOTLIGHT
Loving THE LAB
We asked Broomwood Hall, a co-ed Pre-prep and girls’ Preparatory
school and Northcote Lodge, a boys’ Preparatory school, about how
they encourage a love of the sciences at all levels of learning
“Science is fundamental in the
curriculum - differentiating between
fact and fiction, especially in today’s
age of bombardment from social
media, is an essential skill. In science,
we learn to challenge our ideas by
investigation. Skills including testing,
making predictions, recording and
interpreting results and drawing
conclusions are honed. These skills
develop our sense of the world and get
the children thinking for themselves.“
Amanda Holland, Head of Junior
Science & Physics Teacher
Broomwood Hall
At what age can you first fire the
imagination for Science?
Children are natural scientists,
exploring the world around them
from birth, tasting, touching and
exploring. The science curriculum
starts from EYFS and continues
through to KS3.
What’s the first area you explore?
Science starts in Reception with
lessons on understanding the
world. We discuss dinosaurs,
which they love and later, homes
and habitats.
What scientific experiments
can be done safely at school?
With the correct precautions,
most can be done. In biology,
this includes dissection and in
physics, the children make their
own electromagnets, investigate
electrical circuits and find the
energy in food.
What is the children’s favourite
activity in the science lab?
Year 6 children love doing
investigations, using Bunsen
burners and finding mini-beasts.
How does science help in a
child’s understanding of life?
Differentiating between fact
and fiction is fundamental. In
science, we learn to challenge our
ideas by investigation. The skills
of testing, making predictions,
recording and interpreting
results and drawing
conclusions are honed.
What do children think about a
world with less plastic by 2042?
They were all very
wholeheartedly behind this
idea. They are concerned about
dolphins and whales suffering
because of our plastic.
Do girls and boys approach
Science differently?
In our view, no
Is there a famous scientist that
the children aspire to be?
David Attenborough, Einstein,
Newton
Do you have any famous
scientist alumni?

SPOTLIGHT
Northcote Lodge
At what age can you first fire the
imagination for Science?
From the youngest pupils! Year
4 boys are thrilled by building
circuits, Year 5 by dissecting
flowers. They love the practical
work as it’s fun but it also
teaches them how the world
works. Any five-year-old peering
under a log is enchanted by
the squirming bugs under it.
Fascination with nature and how
the world works is pretty innate.
What’s the first area you explore?
Habitats: organisms, adaptations,
food chains and we include a
much-loved trip to the zoo.
What scientific experiments
can be done safely at school?
We can perform most
experiments, though nothing
as explosive as the boys would
prefer! Lab Safety is the first
lesson we teach.
What is the children’s favourite
activity in the science lab?
“The purpose of science – to
understand the world – means it has
extraordinary reach. The benefits of
developing critical thinking, scepticism
and problem-solving skills are difficult
to overstate. We aim for a broad
approach inside the classroom and out.
Boys have been thrilled (and victorious!)
in building and programming First Lego
League competition robots, we hold
a very popular annual science fair, we
bring in Apollo lunar rocks for boys
(and similarly awestruck teachers!) to
examine, we have visitors bring pop-up
planetariums and demonstrate the birth
and formation of the solar system, we
have a STEM club, extra enrichment
lessons and science trips to Greenwich
Observatory, the Science Museum, a
whole week in the South of France and
plenty more besides. We are proud of
what we offer and the
boys love it!”
David Luard,
Northcote Lodge
Dry ice and flame testing
are firm favourites!
How does science help in a
child’s understanding of life?
Science is about how the world
works and helps boys enjoy a
deeper understanding of life:
pond life, eclipses, what fire is,
how lights work, the digestive
system (making bread-poo is a
favourite!) – and so much more
– all fascinates them. We tie
everything to everyday life.
What do children think about
a plasticless world by 2042?
That it is fundamentally a good
thing although they are light
on specifics. They have a
very clear appreciation of
the importance of being
environmentally considerate.
Do girls and boys approach
Science differently?
Maybe but it’s a moot point:
we’re an all-boys school!
Is there a famous scientist that
the children aspire to be?
Steven Hawking is a popular
one although usually their role
models tend to be sportspeople.
Though some of them do aim to
be the next Brian Cox!
Do you have any famous
scientist alumni?
Not yet but we are pretty
confident we will soon!

ADVERTISING FEATURE
A Head Start for the
children in your life
Funding school fees is one of the biggest financial commitments a family can
make. As a result, it can be a source of considerable concern for some parents.
Providing a good education can
be one of the most valuable gifts
parents or grandparents can give
to children.
Parents continue to recognise the
value that independent education
can offer – but it isn’t getting any
cheaper. Private school fees have
increased by 3.5% in the last year
(ISC Census 2017).
Latest figures from the Independent
Schools Council (ISC) show that the
average fee at an ISC school was £5,562
per term. (Source: ISC Census 2017).
The financial implications can be daunting,
the key to affording school fees is to plan as
early as you can.
Generally, parents looking to fund school fees
fall into three categories – those who want
to invest a lump sum, those who would like
to spread the cost of fees, or parents wanting
to set up a regular savings scheme to provide
funds to cover future fees. There are several
schemes available to help make school fees
more affordable, and an experienced wealth
manager can draw up a bespoke investment
plan that can be both tax-efficient and
flexible. For example, you could consider
using your annual tax-free ISA allowance.
By investing the maximum amount permitted
in an ISA and selecting funds run by full-time
professional investment managers, a tidy
sum could be accumulated in the space of
ten years.
For grandparents, trust * planning can
be a useful tool if they wish to make
provision for school fees and achieve
Inheritance Tax (IHT) benefits at the
same time. If they make regular payments
from their income without reducing
their lifestyle, then these gifts are not
counted as part of their estate for
IHT purposes.
Grandparents might also want to consider
other solutions, such as life assurance,
to help increase the funds created for
grandchildren. This can be very useful
when there is more than one child you
wish to provide for. You might also be
looking at ensuring your estate is correctly
structured and protected in the event of
death, illness or incapacity.
With interest rates still low it is
important to make your investments
work for you.
The value of an investment with St. James’s
Place will be directly linked to the performance

HEAD SPACE
Who or what inspired
you to teach?
I loved my own school
days. I had some fantastic
teachers who inspired
me and opened my
mind to all manner of
opportunities.
What sort of music do
you listen to? Favourite
piece or song?
I have eclectic tastes
in music which range
from opera (bel canto)
through to contemporary
folk sounds including
Bear’s Den and
Mumford and
Sons. I’ve been
fortunate enough
to teach members
of both bands!
Favourite play or
musical?
I know this might not
be terribly highbrow, but
with my background in
French and History I
would have to say Les Miserables.
What’s your personal motto?
There are no such things as
challenges, only opportunities.
If you could only bring three
things to a desert island, what
would they be?
My phone (but only for the
music!), a pen and some paper
- I’m counting these as one; a
Swiss Army knife.
If you were invisible for a
day, what would you do?
I would sneak into the
Oval Office to see what’s
actually going on in the
White House.
HEAD space
Paul Vanni, incoming Head of
Kensington Park School, tells us what
makes him tick at school and beyond
Your top three phone Apps?
BBC, as I’m a news junkie,
Wordbrain for a bit of mental
gymnastics and Star Chart
because my son got a new
telescope for Christmas!
Favourite food?
Monkfish wrapped in pancetta,
preferably served with a nice
white Cotes du Rhone.
Your greatest
movie of all time?
There are so
many fantastic
ones! Schindler’s
List, Dances
With Wolves,
Interstellar, Forrest
Gump... these would
all be close to the
top of my list.
Something you always
have on your work desk?
A lovely photograph of
my children.
Why, in your opinion, is
your school the best?
Kensington Park School
offers flexibility and a
personalised approach
to education through
small classes, as well as an
exciting and innovative
co-curricular provision.
Our domestic and
international partnerships,
our tech-rich approach to
education and the proven
track record of our
teachers (many of whom
have taught in leading
independent schools)
ensures our students are
equipped to make the
most of opportunities the
future offers.
What three things do you need
to be a successful headmaster?
1. A committed team of people
around you whom you get on
with and trust 2. Resilience 3.
A good sense of humour.
Best advice you would give one
of your new school joiners?
Embrace all the opportunities on
offer and enjoy yourself. Work
hard but remember that a good
education is about so much
more than just what goes on in
the classroom. If you have any
difficulties or concerns, make
sure you tell your tutor.
