The Annual Parish Meeting is not a council meeting. It is intended to enable parish electors and local organisations, including the parish council, to meet and discuss items of interest or concern. We can share news of what has happened over the past year and what is planned for the future, as well as allowing residents to ask questions. Work of the Parish Council 2016/2017 Over the past year, the parish council met 10 times. There have also been meetings of its Planning Committee, Allotments and Open Spaces Committee and other groups. The agendas and minutes of these meetings are available on the parish website. Residents are welcome to all meetings of the council and its committees. During the past year there have been three parish councillor vacancies. Nick Carter had been co-opted in early 2016 and sadly died in December 2016. He had made a strong contribution to the council during his short time with us. His fellow councillors made a donation to the PEPS team at St John’s, Moggerhanger, in his memory. The vacancy will be filled by Lynne Seymour. Alex Chrusiack resigned when he moved out of the area, with James Cross elected in October 2016 to replace him.

Pupils to Benefit from Anti-Hate Crime Programme Further Schools in The
Pupils to benefit from anti-hate crime programme Further schools in the county will benefit from an anti-hate crime project devised and run by education charity the Anne Frank Trust UK, which has secured further funding from the Bedfordshire Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Kathryn Holloway. The programme, which has won plaudits from teachers and pupils alike, incorporates a range of dynamic workshops designed to generate debate and discussion on prejudice, hate crime and social responsibility, and promote positive attitudes. Workshops are delivered alongside tours of the Anne Frank Trust's acclaimed exhibition: 'Anne Frank – A History for Today' and Holocaust survivor, and Anne Frank's posthumous step-sister, Dr Eva Schloss MBE, is also invited to share her remarkable story. Commissioner Holloway said: “What really impresses me about the work the Anne Frank Trust will be doing in schools is that this is not a lesson for a day. The Trust creates Anti-Hate Crime Ambassadors to carry forward the message that prejudice and abuse are unacceptable every day of the year." Anti-Hate Crime Ambassadors receive additional training from the Anne Frank Trust and raise awareness widely among their peer group about the dangers to society of prejudice and discrimination. Bedfordshire Police Hate Crime Sergeant James Hart said: “The work of the Trust is so important for the next generation and community of Bedfordshire. We are therefore very encouraged that our partnership is now moving ahead to continue this important work." The project reached more than 2,000 young people in schools and other settings across Bedfordshire during its last round of funding including Mark Rutherford School, The Chalk Hills Academy, Goldington Academy, Vandyke Upper, Stockwood Park Academy, ACE Luton and Fulbrook Middle, in Milton Keynes.

Year 7 HAVE ARRIVED! See Page 7
Bedford Highlights Academy News and Views from Bedford Academy Autumn 2014 Year 7 HAVE ARRIVED! See page 7 Inside this issue: • Focus on Year 7 • Spotlight on Reading • Sky Sports Studio Trip Welcome A message from Bedford Academy Principal, Mrs Smith. The students have had another busy term taking part in a wide variety of events and activities which have enhanced their academic learning. September marked a major milestone in Bedford Academy’s history when we became a secondary school and welcomed Years 7 and 8 for the first time. As you will see from the numerous articles in this newsletter, they have settled in well and have enjoyed being involved in an array of diverse activities from zorbing and sailing, to researching the lives of local soldiers who served in WW1 and creating rainbows in test tubes during science! At the Academy we believe it is important that we offer students opportunities to widen their cultural experience and social skills. We also recognise the importance of ensuring our students are prepared for life after school and provide a high quality careers education and support service. You can read about the comprehensive extent of their work on pages 14-15. Reading, writing and numeracy skills lie at the heart of everything we do and are essential across all subjects at every level. At Bedford Academy we encourage reading at every opportunity and the “Spot Light on Reading” feature within this edition of the newsletter gives top tips in helping to develop an interest in reading. We all have our part to play in providing the very best education that we can for young people and I urge parents to encourage students to read at home.

School Structural Consultation Bedford Borough School Structure Changes
School structural consultation Bedford Borough School Structure Changes Public Consultation School Organisation Review Foreword On Friday 3 July 2015, we announced that we would work alongside schools in Bedford Borough to design and deliver a transition from a three-tier education system (with lower, middle and upper schools) to a two-tier system (with primary and secondary schools). We have been working alongside head teachers and governors to ensure that these changes to schools are as coordinated and coherent as possible and, at the same time, are able to ofer future certainty to parents, carers and guardians. Having spoken to many parents in the Borough, our priority is for every school in the Borough to be good or outstanding and to ensure that parents, carers and guardians are able to clearly understand the route their child, or children could take through the education system. We feel it is important that as schools are finalising their school-specific proposals and consulting on them accordingly with their communities, Bedford Borough Council provides an overview of the strategic plans for the Borough as a whole. Within this document you will find an overview of each school and the proposals they are consulting on, together with a link to where you can find their consultation documents. The document also provides an overview of the proposed transition options for children and young people as we move towards a two-tier system. We really want to hear your views before we decide whether to take on this big change in schools structures in Bedford Borough. More than 90% of our schools are independently rated as good or outstanding according to the school inspector Ofsted, putting us at the top of local authorities in the Eastern Region, and we want to continue to enable children and young people in Bedford Borough to access the best opportunities in life and the best start in life.
