  • Banbury and Bicester College
    Sharing Innovative Approaches to Delivering 16-19 Study Programme Principles Banbury and Bicester College Enterprise and Employability “At the heart of our model for Study Programmes is the development of employability skills through the learning company concept.” Rose Turner, Principal Banbury and Bicester College is part of Activate Learning1, a group which combines secondary, further and higher education along with workforce training, commercial business and social enterprise. The Activate Learning group was formed in September 2013, following the merger of Oxford and Cherwell Valley College, and Reading College in 2010. The group comprises Banbury and Bicester College, City of Oxford College, Reading College and Activate Enterprise. Activate Learning has a chief executive officer; each college has a principal and Activate Enterprise a director. In 2012/13 the three colleges recruited around 14,500 learners, two thirds of whom were adults on part-time courses. Most learners, currently, are on foundation and intermediate programmes and the group have around 1,800 apprentices in five subject areas. Oxfordshire and Berkshire are affluent counties with rates of unemployment below national averages. However, across both counties, there are areas of educational and social deprivation and the profile of learners attending the colleges reflects this. GCSE attainment in local secondary schools is broadly at, or just below, national averages, and many learners come to study and train at the colleges with attainment below national averages. The proportion of the population of Oxfordshire and Berkshire from minority ethnic backgrounds varies from around 25% in Reading to below 5% in Banbury and Bicester. However, the proportion of learners from minority ethnic backgrounds in the colleges matches or exceeds these local proportions.

  • Cropredy Bridge by MISS M
    Cropredy Bridge By MISS M. R. TOYNBEE and J. J. LEEMING I IE bridge over the River Chenveff at Cropredy was rebuilt by the Oxford­ shire County Council in J937. The structure standing at that time was for T the most part comparatively modern, for the bridge, as will be explained later, has been thoroughly altered and reconstructed at least twice (in J780 and 1886) within the last 160 years. The historical associations of the bridge, especiaffy during the Civil War period, have rendered it famous, and an object of pilgrimage, and it seems there­ fore suitable, on the occasion of its reconstruction, to collect together such details as are known about its origin and history, and to add to them a short account of the Civil War battle of 1644, the historical occurrence for which the site is chiefly famous. The general history of the bridge, and the account of the battle, have been written by Miss Toynbee; the account of the 1937 reconstruction is by Mr. Leeming, who, as engineer on the staff of the Oxfordshire County Council, was in charge of the work. HISTORY OF TIlE BRIDGE' The first record of the existence of a bridge at Cropredy dates, so far as it has been possible to discover, from the year 1312. That there was a bridge in existence before 1312 appears to be pretty certain. Cropredy was a place of some importance in the :\1iddle Ages. It formed part of the possessions of the See of Lincoln, and is entered in Domesday Book as such. 'The Bishop of Lincoln holds Cropelie.

With sixteen subjects he could only devote a paragraph to each. One that caught my eye was Thomas Ward Boss (born 1825), long-time librarian at the Mechanics' Institute. Then I realised I had a copy of the published version of his talk delivered one hundred and one years ago, in March 1903. Re-reading it, I found it quite absorbing, a wonderful complement to George Herbert's famous Shoemaker's Window, a reminiscence of Banbury in the 1830s and later. On the assumption that few are likely to track down copies in local libraries, it seems well worthwhile to reprint it here, from the original Cheney's version. There are a few insignificant misprints, but, especially in view of the sad demise of our oldest Banbury business, it is good to reprint a typical piece of their work.

This follows consultation with our parishioners. In response to Question 3 we have no specific comment to make at this time as to whether the Plan is legally and procedurally compliant or is compliant with the duty to cooperate. Our view is that the Plan and supporting documents are not sound in respect of being positively prepared, justified, effective and consistent with national policy. Our response below sets out for each part of the Plan our reasons and the changes requested. Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 (Part 1): Partial Review - Oxford's Unmet Housing Need Proposed Submission Representation Form B – Gosford and Water Eaton Parish Council Response Oxford’s Unmet Needs Paras 1.22 -1.33 Reasons We note that the Oxford Growth Board as reported in para. 1.28 of the Submission states: “The Board should note that the working assumption of 15,000 is a working figure to be used by the programme as a benchmark for assessing the spatial options for growth and is not an agreed figure for the true amount of unmet need” This raises two key points. One is that this is the 4400 figure is a working assumption to be tested.

  • Banbury Power Station
    CASE STUDY BANBURY POWER STATION BANBURY POWER STATION Location Background Banbury Power Station, Banbury As one of the UK’s most reputable gas infrastructure providers, Squire Energy has nurtured relationships with some of the country’s largest and most respected power generators to assist in the construction of nearly 30 gas-fired projects across the UK. With natural gas largely considered to be the ‘greenest’ fossil fuel, the installation of new gas-fired stations across the UK has positive effect on reducing the environmental impact and carbon footprint caused by oil or coal-fired power stations and help facilitate the growth in renewable generation (wind/solar). One of these projects is the brand-new Banbury Power Station. Nestled in the outskirts of Banbury in the scenic greenery of Oxfordshire, this power station is one of many in Welsh Power Ltd.’s portfolio of STOR power plants across the UK. STOR power plants supply the National Grid with electricity if there is a shortage to meet demand, and Banbury Power Station’s six engines can be switched on remotely and quickly to provide capacity to power 12,000 homes in Banbury.
