The Teachers’ Day, part of the 6th formers Summer School at Reading –15-17th July 2013 The 6th formers Summer School was held in the University of Reading from the 15th till the 17th July. It was sponsored by the IFST and various food companies. The 6th formers spent three days in the University and took part in a very intensive programme of activities including a series of demonstrations about various aspects of food and nutritional sciences (day 1), talks and practical experience in different areas of food and nutrition (day 2) and an informative session on careers in the food industry by industrialists (day 3). The Teachers’ Day was held on the second day of the Summer Course (16th July) in parallel with the sixth formers’ course. This year we had seven teachers attending from St Crispins school in Wokingham, Cox Green School in Maidenhead, Kendrick girls Grammar school in Reading, Tring School in Herts, Claires Court School in Maidenhead, Westgate School in Slough and Park House School in Newbury. All except one Science teacher were teaching Food Technology and/or Nutrition. The teachers attended the morning talks together with the sixth formers on various research areas the department is very active on: (i) probiotics and (ii) flavonoids and their impact on health. These are very topical areas and of interest to teachers as found out by talking to them in previous courses. Then they were taken for lunch to the University Senior Common Room together with the morning speakers and other members of staff from the Department. This was a unique opportunity for the teachers and members of staff to exchange concerns and ideas about the Food Technology curriculum in secondary schools and recruitment to degree courses in Food Technology/Nutrition. The teachers found this also a fantastic opportunity to exchange information and ideas about their teaching. In the afternoon they took part in an interactive session with one representative from IFST and one from RSC. In this session the representative from these two organisations were able to inform the teachers about their online resources for teachers. Then the chair of the Outreach group and the Head of industrial training talked on degrees in Food and Nutrition and career prospects. Finally the teachers were taken by one of our undergraduate helpers to see the practical sessions held in the laboratories and pilot plant. Overall they were very happy and complimentary on the day as they found the course interesting and informative. Some commented: ‘Was excellent in all ways’ ‘I'll recommend it to other teachers and 6th formers for next year’ ‘I mostly enjoyed the probiotics lecture’ Paula Jauregi 28th July 2013 .

School Admission Arrangements PDF 510 KB
Report Title: School Admission Arrangements Contains Confidential No - Part I or Exempt Information? Member reporting: Councillor Airey, Lead Member for Children Services Meeting and Date: Cabinet - 23 February 2017 Responsible Officer(s): Alison Alexander, Strategic Director of Adult, Children, and Health Services; Kevin McDaniel, Head of Schools and Education Services Wards affected: All REPORT SUMMARY 1. The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead is the admissions authority for all community and voluntary controlled schools in the borough, and sets the admissions criteria for these schools. The borough has a duty to determine the arrangements for 2018/19 by 28 February 2017. There are no proposed changes to the admission arrangements from the current arrangements 2. The Local Authority also has a statutory duty to formulate a scheme to co- ordinate admission arrangements for all publicly funded schools within their area for phase transfer, e.g. primary to secondary school. This report recommends a revision to section 6 of the co-ordinated admissions scheme to ensure it is compatible with the schemes adopted by neighbouring authorities regarding the allocation of school places from the waiting list. This will mean that following the initial allocation of school places, late applications will be added to the waiting list before further offers are made. 3. It is recommended that a similar variation is made to the co-ordinated admissions scheme for 2017/18, which was determined on 15 March 2016. 1. DETAILS OF RECOMMENDATION(S) RECOMMENDATION: That Cabinet notes the report and: i) Approves and thereby determines, the admissions arrangements for 2018/19 by the 28 February 2017 national deadline.
