Independent School St Teresa’s Effingham

In order for our overseas boarders to achieve the most from their time at St Teresa’s, we limit the numbers of girls coming from any single country to ensure maximum integration into boarding school life. And while our international boarders learn all about life in the UK our British girls love hearing about life and culture in other countries. About a century after their last big fight, Britain and France formed a friendly agreement called the Entente Cordiale in 1904. This showed that banglabet app download the “First” and “Second” Hundred Years’ Wars were truly over.

The term was first used by a historian named John Robert Seeley in 1883. Beginning in about 1689, a series of wars swept across Europe and around the world, all of which involved both the British and the American colonies. Those wars were fought all over the globe in some cases, and virtually every one of them saw fighting in America, pitting the British and Americans against their French and Spanish neighbors in the Western hemisphere.

The last of these wars, the Seven Years’ or French and Indian War, was important for several reasons. First, the American contribution was substantial, and many Americans, including a young Virginia planter named George Washington, received combat experience that would serve them well in the coming revolution. St Teresa’s Eventers Challenge team (Electra B, Lilly S & Rosie C) won their 80 cm class, qualifying them for the NSEA Eventers Challenge Championships at Hickstead in May. Lilly S came second individually in the open preliminary class which crowned her Surrey County Champion and qualified her for the Inter-county Championships at Hickstead in May and the NSEA National Championships at Addington in October.

The Indian threat, which had been made worse because of the Indian alliances with the French, was significantly reduced, and the Americans in 1763 could feel secure within their borders. From fighting in these wars the Americans gained military experience as well as a sense of strength. Though they were not ready for any sort of union by 1763, they had begun to realize that in serious matters they had more in common with their colonial neighbors than they had previously believed. The two countries remained continual antagonists even as their national identities underwent significant evolution.

The long series of wars began when William III, who was Dutch, became King of England in 1688. Before him, English kings had tried to be friends with Louis XIV of France. Colonial American history was greatly affected by events in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries. King Louis the XIV of France came to power in 1660, and as part of his strategy to increase French power in Europe he began what became a series of dynastic and imperial wars. In America, the aim of these wars was defense against Indians and against other colonial powers, especially France. The NSEA team have had a very busy and incredibly successful time competing over the Easter period.

He began his career teaching Economics and Business at the Godolphin School in Salisbury, taking up the position of Assistant Head at Headington School in Oxford in 1997. In 2003 he was appointed Principal of Kilgraston School in Perthshire. He transformed the school to achieve the highest growth rate within the sector and also topped the Scottish academic league tables. In 2011, Kilgraston gained national recognition by being named the UK Independent School of the Year. Some people in Europe used to compare Britain and France to ancient cities.
