  • Thank You to Everyone Who Came Along to Our Fourth Senior Schools’ Fair on Saturday
    Thank you to everyone who came along to our fourth Senior Schools’ Fair on Saturday. You answered the invitation to attend with customary Hazelwood enthusiasm and we were delighted to welcome over 220 parents to the event. It was lovely too to be able to welcome a growing number of families from outside of the immediate Hazelwood family to the Sports Hall, fulfilling the intent of making it a local community event. The 35 schools who came along were both impressed and bowled over by the turnout and the professional way in which the Fair was staged. They all said that it was one of the best that they attend (and some of them attend quite a few!) They were also all full of praise for the five Year 8 pupils who were asked to be on hand to help with the smooth running of the morning. From carrying cups of tea and coffee, to amassing a good stock of brochures to aid with future parent meetings on Senior School choice, to capturing the event on camera, Izzy, Francesca, Archie, Jack and Charlie were fabulous. They did not stop all morning and carried out their requested duties with a smile, presenting themselves as impeccable ambassadors for the school. They were part of the buzz which filled the Sports Hall from the moment the doors opened to the last dying minutes during which we had to usher the remaining parents to their cars! It was a hugely positive event and one which set an optimistic tone for the rest of my weekend.

  • Site Maintenance Support with Security and Traffic Management
    IAPS co-educational day school, 3 - 11 Appointment of Site Maintenance Support with Security and Traffic Management From September 2017 1 Reigate St Mary's is an independent day school for approximately 350 boys and girls aged from rising 3 years to 11 years. It was formed in 1950 by the merger of the preparatory department of Reigate Grammar School and the choristers of St Mary's Church. In 2003, the school returned to its former status as the nursery and junior department of Reigate Grammar School. In 2017 Chinthurst School joined the RGS group of schools. The school is set in 15 acres of beautiful parkland and sports fields in the centre of Reigate, a pleasant market town in Surrey. Proximity to Gatwick airport, the M25 and rail links to London make this a popular area for parents with young families. Reigate St Mary's is one of a small number of schools with a traditional choir of boys and lay clerks led by the school Head of Choral Music. The RGS Godfrey Searle Choir sings regularly in school and church services, and performs in concerts throughout the UK and Europe, with music from the 15th to the 21st centuries and texts in several languages. The Godfrey Searle Choir Trust offers a choral scholarship to each chorister which can be subsequently transferred to Reigate Grammar School. The majority of pupils leave the school at age eleven and transfer to Reigate Grammar School, however, a small number each year move on to other senior schools which have included Dunottar, Box Hill School, Hurstpierpoint College, Worth School and Ardingly College.

  • What Is School Direct? What Are the Routes?
    What is School Direct? School Direct is a programme whereby schools recruit trainees directly and select them to train and work within their partnership schools. Schools, therefore, have more control over the quality of training that is provided and how it is delivered. We guarantee an interview for any relevant post in a partnership school for those who are successful on the programme with us. What are the routes? There are two routes into School Direct: Salaried and non- salaried. The salaried route is aimed at graduates with at least 3 years work experience and is an employment based route into teaching. The non-salaried route is open to all graduates funded by tuition fees paid by the graduate. Our School Direct programmes will lead you to gaining a PGCE in conjunction with our partnership universities. Who is in our partnership? The Warwick School (Lead School) (www.warwick.surrey.sch.uk) Reigate School (http://www.reigate-school.surrey.sch.uk) Oakwood School (http://www.oakwood.surrey.sch.uk) Reigate College (http://www.reigate.ac.uk/) Royal Alexandra and Albert School (http://www.raa-school.co.uk/) University of Sussex (http://www.sussex.ac.uk/education) University of Brighton (http://about.brighton.ac.uk/education/) St. Mary’s University College, Twickenham (http://www.smuc.ac.uk/education-theology-and- leadership/) We have a very successful and long-standing tradition of working with these schools and universities and have been fortunate enough to offer permanent employment to several of our PGCE student teachers in the past. What kind of training can we offer you? The model for training that we will follow will primarily focus on training in the classroom as well as having regular focused training days delivered by outstanding practitioners.

  • Three Cheers for the Community of Hazelwood School and Nursery!
    Three cheers for the community of Hazelwood School and Nursery! The School and Nursery are once again fully alive with the sounds of happy children at work and at play. Friends have returned after the summer break to be reunited with tales of holidays from across the globe. Our new families have arrived (some from the far-flung corners of the globe) to begin their Hazelwood adventure. I was delighted to throw open the curtains of my living room on Wednesday in the knowledge that soon the Head’s Terrace below would be the bustling route to and from the Baily Building for those excited Year 3 children making the transition from Year 2 and the Chestnut Building. A school, without children is like a balloon without air. It has shape, form and colour but it isn’t, until it has air, that the balloon comes alive and takes on a personality which captivates and opens up endless possibilities. Welcome back one and all. I am delighted that the 2017-18 academic year, which holds so much promise already, is underway! A particular warm welcome is extended to our new staff members across both sites and to our new families: The Harrison family, the Maryan family, the Collis family, the Viner family, the Bladen family, the Keoghan family, the Mavili family, the Zurrin family, the Bruner family, the Parsons family, the Brockwell family, the Hewett family, the Long family, the MacPhee family, the Sher family, the Gallagher family, the Taylor family, the Walters family, the Beattie family, the Broughton family, the Chamberlin family, the Collins family,

  • WALKS PROGRAMME Responsibility to Behave Sensibly and to Minimise the Potential for Accidents to Occur
    Notes about the Walks: ° Arrive at least 15 minutes before the stated time - walks start promptly. ° Call the leader if you would like more information about the walk or meeting place, or, in case of severe weather, phone before 8am to check arrangements ° For other than half day walks and linear walks (unless otherwise stated) please bring a picnic lunch to eat in the open air. ° Everyone participating in Ramblers walks and other activities does so at their own risk. ° Dogs , under control, are welcome on our walks at the leader's WALKING FOR PLEASURE discretion, except where noted. ° Please make sure that you are fit enough to undertake the walk you intend to join. If you're unsure of your fitness level, try a short walk first: it's much better to find a walk a little too slow and easy than to make yourself miserable and exhausted. ° Most walks are off-road in rural areas. Please have suitable footwear and clothing for the walk you intend to join, and bring some food and drink, even if the walk includes a pub or café break. Leaders may refuse to accept participants who in their opinion are inadequately equipped or unfit. When in doubt, contact the organisers or the walk Leader in advance. ° For your own and others' safety please read and abide by any advice and guidelines issued by the organisers, and the instructions of the walk Leader . Though walking is inherently one of the safest outdoor activities, no activity is completely without risk and it is your WALKS PROGRAMME responsibility to behave sensibly and to minimise the potential for accidents to occur.

  • DEPUTY DIRECTOR - NORTH United Learning
    DEPUTY DIRECTOR - NORTH United Learning unitedlearning.org.uk WELCOME LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE Thank you very much for expressing interest in becoming a Deputy Director - North with United Learning. United Learning sets out to provide all children and young people with a broad and deep education which prepares them to succeed in life. We were founded 130 years ago to provide education for girls when it was in short supply, and the independent schools which started the Group remain an important part of it today. In the last 15 years, we have become one of the biggest academy groups in the country – still focusing on the original aims of the academy programme – turning around poor schools serving poor communities. As Deputy Director – North, you will have a central role in raising standards in our schools across the north. We are determined to raise attainment and ensure that children make exceptional progress. But we do not want this to be at the expense of a broad education, and are determined that all our schools offer a wide range of opportunities within and outside the classroom, developing character as well as intellect. So we are looking for a leader who shares our strong educational values, who has the highest expectations and who achieves great results but does so by putting children rather than performance indicators first. You will have a track record of success as a leader in secondary education, have the personal energy and confidence to raise standards working through other leaders and be effective in developing others and building teams.

Second, we are committed to raising ambition through very high expectations and a belief that every child can achieve great things if they have the opportunity, the drive and the support that they need. As a Ms Emma Skae result, our students have these expectations of themselves. They want to learn, they want to be successful Principal and they want to be proud. Our attendance is outstanding: students want to be here, they describe being BSc BEd MA NPQH part of Walthamstow Academy as like being part of a family. Third, at Walthamstow Academy we believe that there is no time to waste. We make the most of every day.

  • North Downs Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statements
    Biodiversity Opportunity Areas: the basis for realising Surrey’s ecological network Appendix 6: North Downs Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statements ND01: North Downs Scarp; The Hog's Back ND02: North Downs Scarp & Dip; Guildford to the Mole Gap ND03: North Downs Scarp & Dip; Mole Gap to Reigate ND04: North Downs; Epsom Downs to Nonsuch Park ND05: North Downs; Banstead Woods & Downs and Chipstead Downs ND06: North Downs Scarp; Quarry Hangers to the A22 ND07: North Downs Scarp; Woldingham ND08: North Downs; Banstead & Walton Heaths December 2015 Investing in our County’s future Surrey Biodiversity Opportunity Area Policy Statement Biodiversity Opportunity Area ND01: North Downs Scarp; The Hog’s Back Local authorities: Guildford, Waverley Aim & justification: The aim of Biodiversity Opportunity Areas (BOAs) is to establish a strategic framework for conserving and enhancing biodiversity at a landscape-scale, making our wildlife more robust to changing climate and socio-economic pressures. BOAs are those areas where targeted maintenance, restoration and creation of Natural Environment & Rural Communities (NERC) Act ‘Habitats of Principal Importance’, ie. Priority habitats will have the greatest benefit towards achieving this aim. Recognition of BOAs directly meets National Planning Policy Framework policy for the planning system to contribute to international commitments for halting the overall decline in biodiversity, by establishing coherent ecological networks that are more resilient to current and future pressures (para. 109). Designation of BOAs in local plans will also fulfil NPPF requirements to plan for biodiversity at a landscape-scale across local authority boundaries; and identify & map components of the local ecological networks (para. 117). Explanatory BOAs identify the most important areas for wildlife conservation remaining in Surrey and each include a variety of habitats, providing for an ‘ecosystem approach’ to nature conservation across and beyond the county.
