All of your web sites have gone since you left the school. I have "hit" the chairman of the SCA with everything I have found and all the information you have alerted me to. Is there any more up to date news other tham Boulas being arrested that i can use.  A number of the SCA members are asking for more information.ض.   Dd

 Hi

I never did get to the bottom of all that corruption in Sudan. I got called to court today to fight yet another case against the church. I just cannot do it. I have other battles to fight and maybe even win. It is just so sad that I was never really taken seriously and that Bishop Gwynne had so little of what he wanted for all that he put in. One consolation is that he expected it and would not be so surprised.  As a non Christian I seem to be the most shocked.

Interesting to hear from you, even more so as I didn’t send you that email. If it had been dated 2012 it may have been correct, but certainly not from me recently. 
Investigations were carried out by both the SCA and the Diocese of Bradford, but neither found any “wrong doing” (surprise, surprise). Its all now in the past.

 Regards

Len Whittaker

    The corruption in the ECS is one of the most disappointing aspects of this case. There were many good Christians connected with school in the past who would be horrified about this. Good luck and keep digging!

    Yes, it is very sad that so many who profess to be Christians, show so little regard for the basic tenets of the faith they claim to belong to, and thus tarnish those who are genuine in their commitment. I am sure Bishop Gwynne himself would be horrified at what has happened at his school.

An Email Received from Razan Elshazili of @womenofsudan Instagram Account - 5th August 2020

Hello,   Hope you are well. My name is Razan Elshazali, and I'm the owner of @womenofsudan on Instagram. I used to go to Unity High School as a student, however, I do not think we ever crossed paths. I just wanted to thank you infinitely for your work on the UHS archives. It makes me so happy knowing our vast visual history is preserved, digitalised and easily accessible. I use the website regularly to find content for my page and future website, so I really just wanted to contact you to let you know, on behalf of everyone that has ever attended Unity, that we appreciate your efforts immensely! Thank you for your dedication and for your time. Reply from Steve Gooch: Dear Razan, Thank you so much for your email which is very much appreciated. The Unity High School Archive has been a labour of love for many years now, though somewhat silent in recent years. I am glad that you find it to be of use. There are other materials still to be posted to the Archive that have been collected ov...

An Email Exchange Between the Principal Dr Marina Hitchen and the Ex-Trustee Rev. Charles Bonsall - March to May 2011

The following is an email exchange between the Principal; Dr. Marina Hitchen and the former school Trustee Charles Bonsall. Although it was originally decided to honour the request of Charles Bonsall not to publish his correspondence in full so as to protect Pat Clague's reputation, this decision was reversed when it was discovered that Bonsall's testimony could not be fully relied upon and that he had lied over his signing of the 1995 Trustee appointing letter, which can be found here: A Letter Purporting to be From a Meeting of the Trustees in Which New Trustees Were Appointed - 7th June 1995 . Any future correspondence between Dr Marina and Charles Bonsall will be added here as it becomes available. Dear Sir, I thought you would like to look at the archive file we have set up for Unity High School and its history. I know you have all worked very hard to preserve documents in Durham University but they are not accessible to all those interested in the school. Here is the link...
