READERS with long memories, especially former students of King Alfred’s College, the forerunner of Winchester University, will surely recall Martial Rose, principal of the college from 1967 to 1984. He died on January 30 after a short illness at the age of 98. Dynamic, creative, bold and inspiring, he did more than anyone to lead the institution through stern, challenging times in the late 1970s when higher education and teacher training were going through major reorganisation. Less ably led and less adaptable institutions in Southampton and Salisbury simply foundered. Not so King Alfred’s. Under Martial Rose’s guidance KAC successfully reinvented itself as a liberal arts college offering BA as well as BEd degrees and developed the firm foundations of what is now the innovative, research active and highly respected University of Winchester. It is entirely fitting that the university library bears his name.

My husband, Gareth Young, who has died of an undiagnosed cardiovascular condition aged 46, was a teacher and trade unionist who had recently become deputy general secretary of the NASUWT teaching union.
He was born in Solihull to Mike Young, a local government officer, and Sandra (nee Robinson), a civil servant, and attended Smith’s Wood school in Solihull, a challenging experience that inspired him to dedicate his professional life to education and equality of opportunity and sparked a passion for lifelong learning.

Jump: Sustainability engagement schemes prevent 4,200 tonnes of carbon emissions in 2020
One of the UK s biggest sustainability engagement schemes captured three million positive changes from employees and students during 2020, which collectively mitigated 4,200 tonnes of CO2e emissions.
The approach is based around gamification, with participants using an app to log actions and claim points
Green Rewards, the organisation behind the popular ‘Jump’ scheme, revealed its 2020 results earlier this week. While staff and students at many of the organisations using Jump - which include NHS trusts, universities and corporates – were working or studying from home during 2020, engagement remained high and results remained sizeable.
