Ibstock Place Stocks Review

From the Head

Dear Stocks,

It gives me the greatest pleasure to introduce you to the second ever edition of Stocks Review.

Over the last year, it has been wonderful to meet with so many members of our alumni community. Some of them have been familiar faces, having gone through our Sixth Form. Others have memories of Ibstock which go back much further – indeed, some of them have been able to tell us about the earliest days of the School in Roehampton. What has united them has been a universal fondness for our very special institution. The year ahead promises so very much as we draw ever-more fulsomely fromour past. 2024marks the one hundredand thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the School and already, plans are being made for a series of events to mark this milestone. Indeed, this summer, we are opening Phase One of our new School Museum and I pay special tribute to the work of Angela Platt, our brilliant archivist, in driving this project forward. There is so much of interest. Keeping in touch with the School has never been easier. The development of our new Marketing Department has seen a significant expansion of our digital presence and if you have yet to sign-up, then look out for us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I hope very much that you will be able to return to campus over the next year. Please do get in touch if you would like to visit. We are always delighted to see old friends and while there will be many changes for you to inspect, there will be much which is wonderfully familiar as well, not least, we hope, the same inclusive and warm atmosphere which means so much to us.

Simon’s are myriad, but they include raising his two children, one of whom he works with at Fields Entertainment. Also notable was his work on the popular music video with A-ha - ‘Take on me’ and Peter Gabriel’s ‘Sledgehammer’. Simon reflectedon howthese creative endeavours were fostered during his attendance at Ibstock Place. The progressive pedagogical style of the 1960s certainly contributed to ‘my sense of confidence and nurtured my creativity’, he noted. Music classes were fondly remembered, which facilitated his growing creative interests. Interestingly, one of his life changing moments occurred when he was on his way to School one day and noticed a film crew engaged in production in the grass adjacent to Clarence Lane. His interest caused him to miss, inadvertently, a whole day of school and contributed to his growing awe of the creative arts. These formative experiences led him to pursue creative enterprises in music and film.

co-founded production company, which produced music videos, commercials, and feature films. Within its remit were various well known feature films, including: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990), Serendipity (2001), Shall We Dance (2004), and Funny Bones (1995) – the last of which he was awarded a LondonCritics Circle FilmAward, along with Peter Chelsom, for Best Producer of the Year. After working together on Shall We Dance, Simon collaborated with Jennifer Lopez at the Nuyorican Production Company; he served as its president from 2003 to 2013. During his tenure, he worked as executive producer on many successful films including Bordertown (2006), El Cantante (2006), and Feel the Noise (2007). Nuyorican also produced a televised dance competition for MTV and South Beach called Dancelife (2007). Since leaving Nuyorican, Simon has continued to produce through his own company Fields Entertainment which he began in 2013. Recently, he has been working on a project called The Carbonaro Effect, and theWeight, a motion picture starring Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe. Limelight

Simon Fields Pupil at Ibstock 1960–1966

Simon Fields attended Ibstock Place School as a pupil from 1960 until 1966. Among his favourite memories of the School were the times he spent during break time at the end of the Orchard which was constituted ‘almost like a camp’. ‘There was a small push car’, he recalled, ‘that may have belonged to Maintenance… we would take turns riding it down the path to the pool’. On one occasion, he and his friends sneaked off the school grounds during the break and went to the sweet shop on the adjacent housing estate. He also fondly recollected the pet duck that Miss Palmer brought with her from her Finchley home. It was a favourite visitor amongst the pupils. Since leaving Ibstock Place, Simon has reaped much success. He finished his secondary education at Stowe School and then worked in television commercial production in London. In 1981 he, along with Steve Barron,

Pandora Melly (Vaughan)

Pupil at Ibstock, 1966–1971

Pandora Melly (Pandora Vaughan) attended Ibstock Place from 1966 to 1971. She fondly remembers her primary school teacher, Mrs Wilmshurst, who taught History and Geography. One lesson on Ancient Egypt was especially memorable. Mrs Wilmshurst livened up the lesson with ephemera and photographs from a recent trip she had taken to Egypt with her husband. Pandora recalls one particular photograph in which ‘our teacher [was] looking dusty and exhausted… the husband’s long shadow snaking across the rocks upon which she sat’. She had brought an orange from Egypt for the pupils to sample and a bottle of coloured sand-art with a camel and a pyramid crafted into its design. Wistfully, Pandora remarks upon the considerable impact this teacher had on her life: ‘Her pupils have grown into elderly men and women who may or may not remember oranges and camels painted in sand, and an afternoon of extraordinary photographic slides shown in the dark, wood-lined sarcophagus of our classroom’. Since leaving Ibstock Place, Pandora has embraced several different roles, precipitated by her omnivorous appetite for learningand experience. In the early 1970s shewas involved in farming and horse husbandry. She attended art school in the late 1980s and cultivated creative skills which were utilised in many later roles. Indeed, she wrote and taught courses for adults and children on and off over the last thirty years, includinga successful course for students at the Royal College of Surgeons on ‘The Art of Reconstruction’. In this class, students dived into anatomy through art as they learnt to draw and recreate what they saw. She taught a companion course at the Royal College of Art on ‘Art and Anatomy’ which looked at the form and function of heads and linked creative representation to neurological function. Besides her educationalist interests, Pandora has also worked as a journalist for The Independent and other publications. She has, further, created voice-overs for commercials, started a law conversion course and worked as a dog-trainer. Her careers, like her academic interests, have been varied and enriching. Her interdisciplinary interests were especially facilitated by her education at Ibstock Place in her primary school years. She notes, ‘Ibstock taught me to question “how” and “why” which I believe are two of the most important questions from pupils, and I wish all education was that good’.

Dominic Alldis Pupil at Ibstock 1969–1973

Dominic Alldis was a pupil at Ibstock Place School from 1969 to 1973. He enjoyed a recent visit to Ibstock Place, during which he had the opportunity to explore the grounds and reminisce about his former teachers and his classmates. He remarked that it would be most interesting to rekindle a connection with pupils from his year group. During his recent visit, he explored Archives and toured the campus, rekindling memories of his time as a pupil at the School. He remembered the the gentler pace of life in his school days. Contrasted with the pressures of today, it was ‘slower and more forgiving’. Time was given to enjoy and explore the vast natural environment of the campus – most of the School was surrounded by orchard or forest in those days. He enjoyed breaktime playing in the woods and navigating the tree-top walkways. These opportunities for play, he suggested, stimulated a ‘feeling of being energised when I came back into the classroom after the break’. One of his fondest memories is that of his ‘formidable Headmistress’ Mrs Sheila Macleod. He noted, ‘she was authoritative, but also approachable, warm, and had a twinkle in her eye.’ Indeed, he fondly recalled all of his teachers as being diligent and engaging with their lessons. Whilst he enjoyed all his classes, he developed a special fondness for musicwhich extended into adulthood. After he left Ibstock Place, Dominic continued to cultivate his interest in music at Leigton Park School. His whole family had been musical – his father was a renowned conductor and his mother excelled in teaching violin. Dominic initially studied classical piano and cello, but developed a fervent passion for jazz. Upon finishing his school years, Dominic studied music privatelywith a variety of teachers and subsequently enlisted himself into the ‘Paris jazz scene’. Whilst in Paris, Dominic also began to teach jazz to classical pianists, establishing his interest in teaching. This was an important turning point in his career; he added, ‘The fusion of these two musical worlds, classical and jazz, went on to have a profound impact on my professional life.’ Dominic began teaching at the Royal Academy of Music in 1991 - a career he has enjoyed for nearly forty years. His teaching has been further marked by this fusion, as he advocates the value of classical traditional learning and excellence alongside the creativity and spontaneity which characterises jazz. His proudest moments include conducting orchestras, teaching gifted musicians, and the

foundation of his company Music & Management in 2003. Through this platform, he has provided musical learning for teammeetings and conferences. His time at Ibstock Place was crucial to cultivating his life long creativity and ambition. The Froebelian roots were beneficial, he said, as they ‘promoted kindness, tolerance, creativity, and relationships’. This style also encouraged a slower pace of life which gave him the space to ‘be a child and discover one’s own path in life’.

which remains to this day. Of Dr Martin, George fondly remembers his kindness: ‘I particularly remember him always saying “how are you doing George?” before coursework meetings which, although might seem trivial, made all the difference’. After he left Ibstock Place in 2016, GeorgefirstlycompletedhisBachelor’s degree in Computer Science at Newcastle University –including a placement year with General Electric. Besides this formative work experience, George also worked as an investment analyst during the final year of his undergraduate career. Upon completion of this degree, George worked on his Master’s in Artificial Intelligence at King’s College London a pursuit which, as he notes,

George is further exploring his academic interests with a PhD at City University of London within the Research Centre for Biomedical Engineering. His work looks at traumatic brain injury (TBI) investigating the research hopes to produce the first real-time non invasive ICP measurement algorithm device aiding in the reduction of the cost and complexity of ICP monitoring, consequently reducing the barrier to entry to efficacious monitoring and intervention for patients and healthcare systems.

George Bradley attended Ibstock Place from 2010 to 2016. His fondest memories include both academic and social life. The opportunities to make friends were supported through the Sixth Form Common Room. Regarding academia, George especially enjoyed his History classes with Dr Martin which he describes as ‘informative and enjoyable’; these classes, ignited his passion for history

Social Spaces of Dining

From the Archi ves

Dining was often highlighted as a much-enjoyed part of pupil life. In the early 1900s, Headmistress Annie Yelland sent a note home to parents asking that dinner be reserved only for thosepupils not local to the School (then, inWest Kensington). Ostensibly, the dining room was oversubscribed, which created additional work for matrons and mistresses. ‘Miss Yelland thinks that perhaps it is not quite clearly understood that dinner is only provided for children living at a distance…’ The joy of dining was of course, not restricted to the aforementioned dining spaces at the School. In the annual School Magazine pupils often commented on their love of dining and cuisine.. In 1959, 12 year-old David identified his favourite dish (which he shared with his family) as a German dish called ‘katofalm coucken’. In a short essay, he instructed readers how they might create this delicious meal for themselves. ‘…first you peel some potatoes and then grind them on a lemon grinder then put the ground potatoes through a sieve to get the potato flour out; after this add some plain flour, then make this mixture into pancakes and fry them. It is best to eat these pancakes when they are still hot. You can put sugar or jam on them but I find them too sweet so I put mashed apples on them; this is called “affel nose” in German. When I am at home and we have it we have about three fat ones each. I like them more than any meat even chicken or chops.’ A couple years earlier, in 1955, 12 year oldRichardsharedhis love forporridge and stew, two meals he enjoyed to eat, and cook, while camping with his classmates. He confidently - and cautiously – recommended himself as a reliable cook for either dish. ‘

Dining at Ibstock Place School

In 2020, the new Ibstock Place School refectory was inaugurated; with a design which was acclaimed for its naturally-ventilated timber structure. This stunning facility, undoubtedly, has providedanenjoyablespace forpupils and staff to congregate and socialise (albeit, in a socially distanced manner at that time). It joins its predecessors in the School Archives which are replete with documents showing the value of the dining experience. Indeed, dining held an important place with its physical, social, and moral value in the School’s past. The first official dining hall at Ibstock Place School was opened a year after the School began its residence at Ibstock Place House. Indeed, Ibstock Place had been purchased by the Froebel Institute with a view to moving its Demonstration School from

its temporary ‘evacuation’ location Denison House in Little Gaddesden) into Roehampton, directly across from the Froebel Training College (now Roehampton University). The School purchased the house from Major John Paget in the Summer of 1945. However, the property remained under possession of the Ministry of Supply, which had utilised the space during the Second World War as a headquarters for the first British Radio Observatory. While children moved ontothecampus inOctober 1946, itwas not until July 1947 that the Ministry fully removed itself, leaving the temporary huts to the School’s disposal. One of these huts became the newdining hall. This dining hall remained in place until the 1990s, when it was replaced by the current refectory’s predecessor.

way with stew and porridge. I do not know what it is but they always seem to turn out with me. I do not know whether it is a natural gift or if it is because I have learnt through experience, or what, but it always turns out. Although I suppose I should not count my chickens before they hatch.’ Clearly, eating well has physical benefits. However, the experience of dining also imbued certain ‘moral’ characteristics, as noted in the Archives. Important decisions about diet were emphasised in relevant lessons, unsurprisingly. These can be sensed in the writing of 13 year old Timothy, who reflected upon the subject in 1954. Timothy concluded that moderation was a key factor in identifying what to eat. He began his short essay for the ‘School Magazine’ noting the tendency for some people to consider eating as a hobby. ‘These people,’ he asserted ‘do nothing but look forward to breakfast, lunch, tea and supper in rotation.’ Alternatively, Timothynoted, youmight find the other extreme in which pupils are far too busy to engage in proper meals: ‘These people treat meals as a boring habit, that has to be kept to keep fit, or shall we say alive’. Timothy argues in favour of moderation, though he is apprehensive to reveal whether or not he judiciously follows this advice himself… ‘Then there are other people who find the happy medium. Those people enjoy their meals, they take them philosophically and do not grumble at having to have their food. I personally try to belong to the latter group, although whether I succeed or not will not be brought into this essay.’ Dining as a moral experience

Interestingly, this ethical view of eatingharks back to thepedagogical roots of the School. The moderate and, indeed, intentional consumption of ‘good food’ was highlighted in pedagogical literature for teachers – as well as for parents. In 1879, Froebel advised his readers of the imperative to teach children to discern between good and bad food for the body. ‘Show them that the use of unripe things is contrary to Nature. Lead them to understand that the use of what is unripe is dangerous alike to physical, intellectual, and moral life – is destructive both to the individual and to society.’ He further asserted an extant link between discerning what food is bad for the body and other consumables which might wreak havoc on the soul. ‘The taste of a thing tells whether the thing itself is beneficial or baleful, life giving or life-destroying. Indeed, all the senses exist in order that through them the soul of things may be known to the soul of the sensitive being.’ In teaching children to hone their ‘tasting’ skills, Froebel believed that educators were preparing children to discern moral characteristics. This theory, perhaps, best translates with a classroom example. Froebelian educationalist Elizabeth Harrison, in 1890, described one lesson in her school in which she used the Froebel blocks – and an imagined ‘breakfast table’ – to inculcate moral skills. ‘One morning, while giving a lesson with the building blocks, we made an oblong form which I asked one of the children to name. “It is a table – a breakfast table”. Let us play that they are all breakfast tables, said I. I will come around and visit each one, and see what the little children have to eat. What is on your table, Helen? “Oh!” exclaimed she in eager

delight, “my children have ice-cream and cake, and soda water, and…” Oh dear, oh dear, cried I, holding up my hands; poor little things, just think of their having such a thoughtless mamma who didn’t know how to give them good, wholesome food for their breakfast! How can they ever grow strong and big on such stuff as that? What is on your table, Frank? “My children have bread and butter, oatmeal and cream, and baked potatoes” said the discreet young father. Ah! said I, in a tone of intense satisfaction, now here is a sensible mamma who knows how to take care of her children! “Oh!” broke in little Helen, “my children’s mamma came into the room, and when she saw what they were eating she jerked the ice-cream off the table”.’ which accompanied the emphatic tone, told of the sudden revolution which had taken place in the child’s mind as to the right kinds of food for carefully reared children.

An Hi s tor ic Prof i le

Iris Murdoch Pupil at Ibstock, 1924 to 1932

The award winning writer and moral philosopher Iris Murdoch is perhaps our most noted alumna, having been a pupil at the Froebel Institute (the school before it became Ibstock Place) from the age of five until she left to attend Badminton School in 1932. Iris described her days at our school as entirely happy ones. We will enjoy more of her recollections of school later on.

Between saying and doing, many a pair of shoes are worn out.

Iris Murdoch was born in 1919 in Ireland. Fowling her school years she went up to Oxford to read Classics at Somervile College. In the War years she worked for the Treasury and afterwards for a brief time Iris worked with the UN, rehabilitating people displaced by the war. Iris then went to Cambridge where she studied for a degree in Philosophy. Iris returned to Oxford to take up a place firstly as a tutor then subsequently as a fellow at St Anne’s College, teaching Philosophy. It is here she met and married her husband, and lattery-day carer, John Bayley. Iris’ literary breakthrough came from the publishing of her first novel The Net (1954) and she then managed to produce a book every 18 months or so for the next forty years. Her books often took “dramas of the human heart” as their subject. She described fiction as a hall of reflection, which “can encompass every form of tragedy and comedy”. Whilst some critics suggested her books might have benefited from some judicious editing thereby giving them a more immediate appeal to the masses, many have proclaimed Iris Murdoch as the foremost author of the post war generations. For someone with such a moral brilliance, such a good kindly nature, her final years succumbing to the indignities and vicissitudes of Alzheimer’s were hard to bear. John Bayley published his memoirs of these final years, inwhich he recalled his wife Iris sitting in her armchair, her rapier like intellect crumbling, enjoying watching the children’s TV programme Teletubbies. He also recalls that during one of her final lucid comments she uttered “I’m sailing into the darkness”. His memoirs of these final years were made into a powerful film starring Judi Dench as Iris Murdoch and this poignant yet unflinchingly honest portrayal garnered many awards. Sailing into the darkness

The snowdrop hangs down her head. Why?

Iris began writing at an early age, partly she believed as compensation for having no siblings to play with. “I’m the only child in search of an imaginary brother or sister. That is probably why I like to invent characters”. We are very fortunate to have in our archives a letter from Iris Murdoch which recalls her time at our school. She describes herself as a very docile child and the concept of attention to detail was acquired very early. Her pictures of school at this age were “of light, of freedom and happiness. The great greedy pleasures of learning, the calm kindly authority of teachers, the mutual amiability of children”. She also recalls the importance of competition within all of this play and discovery, so espoused by Froebel’s philosophies. She talks of how “a spirit of courtesy, of dignity, of standards, of care for others were so painlessly induced”. Her love of classics started here with her learning of Latin under the tutelage of Miss Burdett. It was here also that she learned her love of writing and throughout her life she eschewed any formof mechanical aid, choosing towrite all of her books by hand. The first model sentence she ever wrote remained with Iris throughout her life. “The snowdrop hangs down her head. Why?” Why indeed she said! A thought provoking question; a good introduction to a world that is and remains full of mysteries.

his daughter Winifred recounted in the early 1930s how he read the palm of Mrs Wallis-Simpson then a guest, prophesying that she would be ‘Queen of England’ in all but name. The house was originally owned by the Duchess of Sutherland and she was responsible for adding the Ballroom where many lavish events were held. Winifred (aged 19) had been presented to Queen Mary after her debutante year in which she held her own ball at Ibstock Place and later herwedding reception also took place at the House. The photo shows James standing at the doors of the ballroom with his maids. It was very poignant for me to standing at the same spot all those years later when I visited Ibstock - a granddaughter he never knew. The Paget family were very kind to my grandfather and his family; they allowed his four children - Reginald, Frederick, Kathleen and Joan - to regularly swim in the pool in the garden. It was one of the first private outdoor pools in Britain but, sadly, without the knowledge of the benefit of chlorine the pool quickly became polluted with algae. This didn’t stop the Clare family using it frequently; many photos were taken of their exploits in which the maids would also join. James was treated as part of the Paget family as the photos of his time at Ibstock Place House indicate; there is a photo of him pouring champagne into Anne Paget’s mouth! The house was run with a staff of 15 –James Clare, my grandfather, was the Butler. His first-born son, Reginald, went on to marry the Chauffeur’s daughter Pamela Luddington at the local church. This marriage did not last andmy father Regwent on tomarrymy mother Elva Andrew in Haifa, Palestine in 1947, having attained the status of Major in the Royal Army Service Corps.

Shottesbrooke today remains a private home to the Vansittart family. In 1916, after turning 35, my grandfather marriedTheresaSpenceron15thJulyat the ParishChurch St. MaryMagdalene, Holmwood; they went on to have four children and lived at Enmore Gardens, East Sheen not far from Ibstock. His sons Reg and Frederick attended Richmond Grammar school. James served as Butler to Major John Byng Paget of Ibstock Place Roehampton. There are many photos of him there looking very content in what was likely to have been his final position as Butler.

My grandfather, James Thompson Clare, served as the Butler to the Paget family whilst they lived at Ibstock Place House in the 1930s. Sadly my grandfather died before I was born which has made finding out about his life very important to me. With all the advances made in accessing history over the years it has been exciting discovering his life. He was born 29th November 1880 at 133 Sotheron Road, Watford, the first-born child to John and Esther Clare. In the 1901 census his occupation was recorded as Stewards Room Boy at Middleton Stoney, Oxfordshire, the home of Victor Childs Albert Jersey (7th Earl of Jersey). James was aged 20 but may have well been working there before that date. Ten years later, as noted by the 1911 census, James (aged 30) was recorded at Acton Reynald Hall, Shawberry in Shropshire, the home of SirWalter OrlandoCorbet (4th Baronet).

James died on 19th May 1953 at his home in Edgmond, Shropshire.

It is possible that my grandfather may have also served as the Butler to Basil
