I shall focus on some of the creativity we have valued in Bucks SACRE this year both from our members and during our visits to schools. In addition, we receive wise counsel from our Education Officer at Bucks CC, Katherine Wells and our RE Adviser Bill Moore. At our meeting in October we learned that Suma Din our Muslim deputy had become a school governor and would no longer fulfil her role with SACRE. However, her legacy to us is her book published by the Institute of Education Press entitled ‘Muslim Mothers and their children’s schooling.’ See SACRED 7, for a review. (For this and all other references to SACRED see the website at the end of this section). In her contribution to SACRED 6 Suma wrote; From the Qur’an, I understand my role as being a ‘steward’ on this earth; one who will take care, take responsibility and hand on a legacy to those who come after them.

  • Chesham Grammar School, Buckinghamshire
    DETERMINATION Case reference: ADA3300 Objector: A member of the public Admission Authority: White Hill Schools Trust for Chesham Grammar School, Buckinghamshire Date of decision: 29 August 2017 Determination In accordance with section 88H(4) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, I do not uphold the objection to the admission arrangements for September 2018 determined by White Hill Schools Trust for Chesham Grammar School, Buckinghamshire. I have also considered the arrangements in accordance with section 88I(5) and find there are other matters which do not conform with the requirements relating to admission arrangements in the ways set out in this determination. By virtue of section 88K(2) the adjudicator’s decision is binding on the admission authority. The School Admissions Code requires the admission authority to revise its admission arrangements within two months of the date of the determination. The referral 1. Under section 88H(2) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, (the Act), an objection has been referred to the adjudicator by a member of the public, (the objector), about the admission arrangements for September 2018 (the arrangements) for Chesham Grammar School (the school), a selective academy for girls and boys aged 11 to 18. The objection is that the selection test used by the school appears to disadvantage high attaining children who come from disadvantaged backgrounds and those of Asian Pakistani ethnic origin. 2. The local authority for the area in which the school is located is Buckinghamshire. The local authority is a party to this objection. Other parties to the objection are the objector and the White Hill Schools Trust (the trust) which is the admission authority for the school.

  • ADA3483: Dr Challoner's Grammar School Buckinghamshire
    DETERMINATION Case reference: ADA3483 Objector: A parent Admission Authority: The Academy Trust for Dr Challoner’s Grammar School Date of decision: 31 August 2018 Determination In accordance with section 88H(4) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, I partially uphold the objection to the admission arrangements determined by the academy trust for Dr Challoner’s Grammar School in Buckinghamshire for admissions in September 2019. By virtue of section 88K(2) the adjudicator’s decision is binding on the admission authority. The School Admissions Code requires the admission authority to revise its admission arrangements within two months of the date of this determination. The referral 1. Under section 88H(2) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, (the Act), an objection has been referred to the adjudicator by a parent whose identity is known to me, (the objector), about the admission arrangements (the arrangements) for Dr Challoner’s Grammar School (the school), a selective academy school for boys aged 11 to 18 in Amersham, Buckinghamshire for September 2019. The objection is to the school’s definition of “normal home address”, which is said to be objectively unreasonable and to operate unfairly. Jurisdiction 2. The terms of the academy agreement between the academy trust and the Secretary of State for Education require that the admissions policy and arrangements for the academy school are in accordance with admissions law as it applies to maintained schools. These arrangements were determined by the academy trust, which is the admission authority for the school, on that basis. The objectors submitted their objection to these determined arrangements on 10 May 2018.

  • The Misbourne School, Great Missenden. Chair: Andy Garnett
    Chiltern Community Forum – 27th November 2019 – The Misbourne School, Great Missenden. Chair: Andy Garnett Introduction from Andy Garnett and from the 20 attendees. Police report – Sergeant Roy Evans (RE), PC Gavin McVeigh (GM), PC Matt Cumming, PCSO Lucy Sandford & PCSO Lucy Groves From September Community Forum – Top 3 1; Burglary 2; Drug dealing 3; Speeding Burglary Area CID review all burglaries and lead on investigations considering forensic and CCTV opportunities. Victims of burglaries will receive crime prevention advice from NHP. This includes cocooning with neighbours and victims being offered SMARTWATER property marking kits. Neighbourhood Policing has been tackling burglaries by being involved in a number of cross border operations with other forces targeting criminals whilst they are travelling into our area from predicted locations. The Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NHPT) continue to attend events, conduct Have Your Says (HYS’s) and raise awareness of burglary. Figures show that Chiltern & South Bucks is the most targeted area in the force area by burglars. In response to this, peak seasonal trend analysis was carried out and the top 6 hotspot locations in Chiltern and South Bucks were identified. Surprisingly figures showed that roads were rarely burgled repeatedly in the same year. Identified areas included Hyde Heath, Amersham and Chalfont St Giles. Working with Neighbourhood Watch (NHW), a push was done to get residents of the roads affected by burglaries to join NHW and become more self-resilient. Crime advice was also given to them. 1 A number of events have been arranged to promote burglary reduction over the next two months, this will include additional crime advice at local Have Your Say events, commuter events and stalls at the Amersham Christmas Market Event.
