    The report of Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills 2013/14 South West regional report Tewkesbury Gloucester Gloucestershire Cirencester South Gloucestershire Swindon North Bristol Somerset Chippenham Weston- Wiltshire super-Mare Bath & N.E. Somerset Trowbridge Minehead Warminster Somerset Taunton Salisbury Bideford Yeovil Tiverton Devon Dorset Bridport Exeter Dorchester Poole Bournemouth Weymouth Newquay Bodmin Cornwall Torbay Plymouth Truro Penzance Isles of Scilly South West regional report 2013/14 regional South West 2 South West regional report Summary The South West is a region of inconsistencies. A family with children aged three, seven, 11 and 16 would not be able to find a high-performing local authority where children of all those age groups do well.1 Progress between ages seven and 16 in both English and mathematics is not good in any local authority.2 In 2012/13, attainment of pupils eligible for free school meals was weak between ages seven and 19.3 Inspection outcomes are stronger in the early years and primary phases than in secondary schools. Eighty-five per cent of further education and skills providers were judged good or outstanding at their latest inspection. However, too many children live in areas where the arrangements for child protection are not yet good. Despite good and improving leadership in some areas, too many weaknesses remain in students’ achievement and in responses to the increasingly diverse needs of all children and young people, especially those who are looked after by the local authority. Leaders must improve the quality of teaching to drive up achievement.

  • Swindon Borough Local Plan 2026 Pre Post Submission Document
    Swindon Borough Local Plan Pre Post Submission incorporating proposed modifications September 2014 June 2013 Draft Swindon Borough Local Plan 2026 Pre Post Submission Document incorporating Proposed Modifications June December 20132 September 2014 Swindon Borough Local Plan Pre Post Submission incorporating proposed modifications September 2014 June 2013 Draft Swindon Borough Local Plan Pre Post Submission incorporating proposed modifications September 2014 June 2013 Draft FOREWORD This is a time of challenge and opportunity for Swindon Borough. Whilst the building blocks for successful economic growth remain, against a background of economic recession and public sector spending cuts, the need to plan responsibly and realistically is of greater importance. We have a responsibility not only to deliver the much-needed regeneration of the Town Centre but also plan for growth in a way that benefits existing and future residents of the Borough. Sustainable development is not just about providing homes, local jobs and a vibrant and successful Town Centre; it is also about creating inclusive, cohesive, safe and healthy communities. Fundamental to this is the timely provision of infrastructure. This Document has been produced following on from Royal Assent of the Localism Act 2011, which includes measures to revoke Regional Strategies and to allow local authorities to set their own targets for economic and housing growth through the development of a Local Plan. The National Planning Policy Framework (2012) states that one of its key principles should be a proactive approach to driving and supporting sustainable economic development in order to deliver the homes, business and industrial units, infrastructure and thriving local places that the country needs.

  • It's That Time of Year Again and I'm Sure You Will All Be Relieved The
    It’s that time of year again and I’m sure you will all be relieved the SATS and GCSE exam period is over. Although term 6 is fairly short, with all the disruption of bank holidays, I know it is the most stressful school term for teachers. Managing exam season, planning / hosting transition of the new intake, organising sports day, school trips and trying to prepare for next academic year - it’s a lot to squeeze into 6/7weeks. However, the sunshine and the long awaited summer break will soon be with you and another school year will be over. Healthy Schools would like to thank you for all your hard work in supporting the young people of Swindon. The work you do is invaluable, today, tomorrow and in the forthcoming years. I am very pleased to announce that our partnership is always improving and increasing, we are seeing more and more commitment from schools to the programme. More than 50% of Swindon schools are now engaged with the new Three Tier Award. We also have four schools working towards achieving the Silver level. Recently we conducted a Social Norms survey with 9 Secondary schools and the results were very positive and encouraging, showing our young people are making positive life choices. So we all have a lot to celebrate and we will do that at the schools celebration event on July 14th at the Steam Museum. Once again our newsletter provides information, resources for you to use and share. I am trialling a new format for our newsletter and I would appreciate some feedback.

Prevent crime and keep people safe 2. Protect the most vulnerable in society 3. Put victims, witnesses and communities at the heart of everything we do 4. Secure a quality police service that is trusted and efficient Introduction Neighbourhood Policing remains the cornerstone of policing within the County of Wiltshire. The aim of achieving safe communities is dependent upon successful engagement and consultation with the whole community to produce local priorities that are meaningful and key to their quality of life. Neighbourhood officers and staff are at the forefront of delivering public confidence and building trusted relationships to their respective neighbourhoods. They are the leaders for exchanging knowledge, encouraging engagement and providing quality high visibility policing. This document is to be used in conjunction with the Wiltshire Police Public Engagement Strategy and the College of Policing “Neighbourhood Policing Guidelines” which details the process of consulting with the local community and setting local Neighbourhood Priorities. The process is designed around using the relationships, skills and knowledge of police/partners and the community to reduce crime and disorder, addressing community concerns and promoting public confidence. In line with the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, Wiltshire Police have a duty to work with Statutory partners to; reduce reoffending; tackle crime and disorder; tackle anti-social behaviour; tackle alcohol and substance misuse; and tackle any other behaviour which has a negative effect on the local environment.
