Mr de La Croix (Head at Robert Barclay Academy and chair of BASSH) has invited Chris to attend. Chris asked the group to identify issues to raise. The group suggested: • Recycling; • the Democracy Ambassadors scheme, • teaching politics in schools / engagement with political issues e.g mock general elections • The group discussed their schools’ approach to recycling and the consensus was that it was varied and not very well communicated to pupils. • It was also agreed that Chris should ask BASSH as to what they would like the Youth Council to help them with / focus upon. Social Media • The Youth Council’s Instagram account has been created. • They will retain the Twitter feed as it works well for connecting with and highlighting the work of partners (Instagram works better at connecting with young people and seeking their views). • Emma gave some advice about setting up the Instagram account as a verified business account. • With the removal of the Social Secretary role, it was agreed that the social media feeds would be managed by consensus by the Youth Council Cabinet. Steve offered to work with them to develop guidelines to avoid awkward situations in the future.

The aim is to create opportunities for work experience, volunteering and skills development. Chris was unable to attend the first meeting on 5 September. Steve suggested inviting them to a future Youth Council meeting to explain their plans Climate Group Following the discussion at the last Youth Council, Chris explained that the Hertfordshire Climate Group who had contacted him were part of the Global Student Climate Change movement. The group are now focussing their efforts in Bishops Stortford on 20 September. Discussion was had about the Youth Council running an environmental awareness event in 2020. It was agreed that it needed to have a focus, particularly on a local issue, and clear objectives. Cllr Banks suggested that it could focus on the A10 air pollution issue. Steve suggested tree planting schemes or litter picking. Other suggestions included promoting walking or cycling to school – Cllr Banks suggested this could begin immediately via social media. Emma suggested that Chris could promote the Daily Mile to the BASSH meeting especially as there is an evidence base that physical activity enhances academic achievement. Youth Conference / Young People’s Survey • YC Hertfordshire have produced a draft Young People’s Survey which they hope to complete and launch in October. • The findings of the survey will then shape the priorities for any future conference as well as the focus of work by the Youth Council / YC Herts and others in the local area. • The Youth Council offered to run roadshows to promote the survey to young people in their schools / communities.

DESCRIPTORS Access to Education; *Admission Criteria; *Admission (School); Case Studies; Educational Change; Educational Discrimination; Educational Policy; Foreign Countries; Free Enterprise System; *School Choice; Secondary Education IDENTIFIERS England; *Local Education Authorities (United Kingdom); Reform Efforts; Wales ABSTRACT This paper presents four case studies that are part of a larger study on admissions arrangements and impacts on school admissions for all local education authorities (LEAs) in England and Wales. It examines factors influencing the social composition of schools. A total of 23 LEAs completed interviews about their secondary school admissions arrangements The four case study LEAs have significantly different market scenarios. Results show that recent national education policy has not been evenly implemented across LEAs. A combination of organizational, structural, and demographic factors have muted much of the potential impact of school reforms on school admissions. Normative patterns of school use have not been substantially affected by the market reforms or the administrative actions of LEAs. LEAs remain important arenas within which school choice operates because they define kinds of choice available to parents in their administrative boundaries.

  • Admissions Arrangements 2016 KGE Amends Oct 2014
    Admissions Policy for Entry to The John Warner School for the School Year Commencing September 2016 Policy and Numbers The school is an Academy for students of 11 to 18 years of age; it is a co-educational, all ability secondary school. The main principle of admission to the school is to maintain the character as an academy, providing for the needs of young persons within the 11 to 18 age range. There is however, no guarantee of a place for children living in the immediate area. The school participates in the Hertfordshire Local Authority coordinated scheme for ordinary Year 7 September admissions and all deadlines within that should be adhered to by applicants. The school is responsible for coordinating its own in-year admissions. The John Warner School is required by its funding agreement to admit children with a statement or EHC (Education, Health and Care) Plan that names the school. Therefore children with a statement or EHC that names the school will be admitted outside of the usual system. The pupil admission number (PAN) for September 2016 will be 210. Oversubscription Where applications for admission exceed the number of places available, the following criteria will be used to decide which pupils to admit. 90% of allocations will be made using Criteria 1 to 4 in the order set out below and the remaining 10% of allocations will be made using Criterion 5. 1: Looked After Children or Previously Looked After as defined below. Places are allocated to children in public care according to Part 2, Regulation 7 of the School Admissions (Admission Arrangements and Co-ordination of Admission Arrangements) (England) Regulations 2012.
