As you can see, this year’s Chronicle has followed more or less the usual format and we continue to OQA News from Sub Sections 28-73 make it available in hardcopy only to those who have requested it in that format, otherwise it is online. However, it is probably time for a refresh and some new ideas! At the risk of repeating myself, this will be my last year as Editor and I am putting a call out to anyone who has ideas for how the Chronicle could evolve to meet the changing needs of the OQA. We already have a range of communication channels alongside the Chronicle, whether the News Bulletin, or social media channels, but the Chronicle has remained core to our OQA networking and communications. With such an impressive pool of OQ talent, I believe that there are plenty of you with the right skills and creative ideas, who could help to take the Chronicle forward, in the same way that the School is advancing. So, please do contact me, or Lindsay Smith, or the Foundation Office, if you would like to volunteer your services.

  • The Farnborough Society Recent Events
    THE FARNBOROUGH SOCIETY preserving the past, shaping the future Newsletter: Issue 15 February 2016 RECENT EVENTS Recycling: The Never-ending Story with Ruth Whaymand We were delighted to welcome Ruth along to tell us what more we can all do to boost Rushmoor’s poor recycling rate. She gave a very informative and self-assured presentation, and it was clear that the audience had a real determination to understand the problems and to make sure they were doing all they could personally to improve matters. Ruth began by outlining the service currently provided: weekly general waste; fortnightly recycling, glass and garden waste; bulky waste upon request, and charged; clinical waste weekly/on request. She emphasised that the quality of the collection service is very high, even in severe weather, when RBC uses a 4-wheel drive vehicle with snow plough to reach more inaccessible areas. Rushmoor’s collection cost, at £54 per household, is the highest in Hampshire, mainly due to the retention of weekly general waste collection. At the same time, we achieve only 26% recycling, placing us firmly in the bottom quartile nationally, which leaves us woefully short of the 40% target that was set by the Government to be achieved by 2010 and even farther adrift of the 67% target by 2015 set by Waste Strategy 2000. At the moment, therefore, it looks extremely unlikely that we will achieve the target set by the EU of 50% by 2020 and failure will incur penalties against RBC. Ruth went on to explain the ‘waste hierarchy’ which aims to reduce the amount of waste going to the incinerator.

The range of these Regulations, which replace those first introduced on 1 September 2003, can be viewed on the website www.legislation.gov.uk.

The inspection of the school is from an educational perspective and provides limited inspection of other aspects, although inspectors comment on any significant hazards or problems they encounter which have an adverse impact on children.
