We hope you will find the information within this pack helpful. Our federation is a strong partnership of two schools, All Saints CofE (VA) Primary School, Leek Wootton and Burton Green CofE (VC) Primary School, working in close collaboration together. It combines the unique characteristics of small schools with extended opportunities for children, staff, governors and families to work together in larger groups. Following the retirement of the Head of the Federation, The Green Leek Federation Governing Body is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, dedicated leader with a real passion for teaching. The successful applicant will have the skills necessary to relish the challenges of the future, to build upon our achievements and move us forward to continue to develop as two effective schools with our individual identities and as an efficient federation with shared values, structures and curriculum. Ours is a federation rooted in partnership - school, parents, churches and the communities working together for the benefit of each individual child. We believe that the quality of relationships within school between adults and children and with parents and the wider community underpin everything that we are able to achieve as schools and as a federation. The happiness, well-being and achievement of each child are our main concerns. We strive to create exciting, stimulating learning environments. Environments that are safe and secure, where children’s welfare is the concern and responsibility of everyone. A place where children are given opportunities to realise their talents across a broad and balanced curriculum, developing into caring and responsible young people. Our schools have enthusiastic, caring, committed, professional teaching and non-teaching teams, who in partnership with parents, endeavour to achieve the best for each and every child. We welcome visits from candidates eager to work with us to continue to build our schools as places of learning where children are motivated and challenged to reach their potential in every area of their development. The application process is detailed in this pack. I look forward to receiving your completed application to become our next Head of the Green Leek Federation. Kimberley Lunn Chair of Governors, Green Leek Federation 4 Letter from our Vicar When the Green Leek Federation was formed, it was the federation of two Church of England schools; Burton Green (Voluntary Controlled), and All Saints’ (Voluntary Aided). As the vicar of All Saints’ Church in Leek Wootton, I had been serving as ex-officio Foundation Governor at All Saints’ VA school since my arrival in November 2008. Now, in that role for the Federation, I also represent the two parishes which cover the Burton Green area and so I write also on behalf of Revd Stella Bailey, vicar of St Nicholas, Kenilworth (in whose parish the school and many homes are sited) and Revd David Hammond, vicar of St John the Baptist, Westwood Heath (in whose parish are the majority of the homes). The foundation governors include representatives from all three parishes. A small number of homes and farms in Burton Green (including a small portion of the school site!) are also situated in a third parish, that of St John the Baptist, Berkswell, although this parish has not in recent history played any active part in the life of the school. The Christian ethos underpinning both schools is very strong. At All Saints’, the close link with the Parish Church has meant that the church/school partnership has been part of the fabric of both over the years and is very important to the local community too. The church has a good reputation for its ministry to families with everyone of whatever age valued as an individual and welcome at all services. At Burton Green, because of the geographical setting, there has been a less clear parish partnership, although representatives from Westwood Church have been regular leaders of collective worship and the newly- installed vicar at St Nicholas has also recently arranged to do likewise. Since the federation, All Saints’ Church has been pleased to host joint visits by groups of children from both schools, as well as continuing its strong relationship with All Saints’ CofE Primary School, hosting festival assemblies at Christmas and Easter and the end-of-school-year Leavers and ‘Pot of Gold’ Assembly, which celebrates the character growth of the children of Year 6 who are now moving on to secondary education, and marks the transition of Year 2 children moving on to Key Stage 2. All the Year 6 children are presented with a Bible by the church at this assembly. A similar presentation of Bibles to Year 6 children at Burton Green is made by Westwood Church. As vicar and governor, I have been actively involved in school life over the years, leading and/or attending an assembly at All Saints’ CofE Primary most weeks, and using my skills in helping with the technology and working with some of the children and staff with aspects of ICT at both schools. I have a good rapport with the children and staff and would be delighted to form a good relationship with the successful applicant so that I may be of both pastoral and practical use in the future also. Some of the staff at All Saints’ CofE Primary School are also active members of the church fellowship. Being in the schools always invigorates me. The academic successes are clear, but what the ‘league tables’

  • Considerations for Sustainable Landscape Planning
    _______________________________________ Options for Future Urban Expansion in Warwick District Considerations for Sustainable Landscape Planning Part 1: Appendix A Possible approaches to development in sensitive locations Evaluation of five proposed land parcels in Warwick District 1 _______________________________________ 1. Land south of Gallows Hill and the Asps, Warwick 1.1.1 This land parcel is located outside of the West Midlands Green Belt and was therefore included in the Landscape Character Assessment for Land South of Warwick (2009) – (LCASW). 1.1.2 In the WDC SHLAA (2012) the site is identified as potentially suitable for development as W10 (Land south of Gallows Hill), W26 (Gallows Hill / Europa Way), and W27 (The Asps, Europa Way and Banbury Road). Together these areas total nearly 131 Ha. A former landfill site at Turnbull Gardens (see below) is excluded from the study area – but largely enclosed by it. (LCASW) Study Findings - 2009: Study Area This study area is approximately 130 hectares in area and is defined by Heathcote Description Lane / Gallows Hill to the north, the A452 (Europa Way) to the east, and the A425 Banbury Road to the south and west. The study area comprises agricultural land that is predominantly pastoral in character in the south and large-scale arable in the north. The Tach Brook valley divides the area and flows under the Banbury Road and into Castle Park on the western boundary. Along the northern side of the Tach Brook near Banbury Road is a block of mixed deciduous woodland, whilst on the southern side is a former landfill site (Turnbulls Gardens) occupying approximately 5 Ha.

  • Creating Bathing Rivers
    ST Classification: OFFICIAL COMMERCIAL Creating bathing rivers Business case 01 Severn Trent 29 January 2021 ST Classification: OFFICIAL COMMERCIAL Executive summary Clean, healthy rivers have the potential to support ecosystems, biodiversity, communities, health and wellbeing, and local as well as national economies. Currently, this potential is largely untapped, the UK has no bathing quality rivers and lags behind other European countries in unlocking the wider benefits of its rivers. The current approach to improving river quality is not working. The sector has invested £25 bn in wastewater quality since privatization. While we have made significant improvements in water quality from our river discharges, only 14% of rivers meet good ecological status. As one of many contributors to river water quality it is clear it remains a huge challenge to meet the ambition in the Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan, of 75% of rivers being close to their natural state. At the current cost and pace the ambition appears both unaffordable and unachievable. Defra and the Environment Agency are grasping this challenge as we work together to reform the way the environmental programme is defined. We see an opportunity to create a blueprint for how we can initiate a step-change from delivering environmental outputs for our rivers. Where previously we would tackle sector specific legislative drivers through isolated programmes of work, we want to move to delivering tangible and catchment based environmental outcomes. We are proposing to drive an outcome based step change for two sections of river by considering the current and future risks that could prevent it from returning to its natural state and addressing them in a way that provides tangible benefits and proactively responds to the increasing expectations of our customers and communities.

WHY NOT VISIT the Lillington Local History Society Website The website address is: www.lillingtonhi story.org Images Andrew Hobbs 1 MANOR FARM ESTATE – The Pre-War Years At the beginning of the 20th Century, the development of Lillington was more or less confined to the area around St Mary Magdalene Church, the Manor House and Manor Farm. A map dated 1903 shows that the terraced houses in Manor Road and Farm Road (or Farm Lane as it was then called) had been built, along with two pairs of semi-detached houses in Vicarage Road. A number of houses along the South side of Cubbington Road, either side of the school, pre-dated this, but most of these are long since demolished. By the early 1920s, Vicarage Road was complete and more terraced houses had been built in Lime Avenue between Cubbington Road and the Smithy Club, presumably the present Lillington (Working Men’s) Club, opposite the end of Manor Road.
