Historic post-war pubs given listed status. Five English pubs built after the Second World War have been given Grade II listed status by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport on the advice of Historic England.
The pubs are valued for their architecture and history, including one designed around the nursery rhyme "This is the House that Jack Built", and one themed around the Romans in Britain. Their new listed status means they will receive special protection, so they can be enjoyed by current and future generations. In post-war years, thousands of pubs were built in areas such as housing estates, next to shops, community halls, churches and in cities damaged by wartime bombing. From the 1960s onwards, themed pubs became increasingly popular.

Last year I was part of the Improving Teachers Programme (ITP) where we were given an afternoon off every week for six weeks to study outstanding teachers in our school. We went on walk-rounds, dropping into their lessons for 20 minutes to observe specific tasks. Training.
