We Are Reading WE ARE READING Spring Newsletter 2018 Welcome! Welcome to the first We Are Reading Newsletter. We hope that these pages will be filled to the brim with the ideas and endeavours of schools engaged with We Are Read- ing, but we will also have regular updates from key partners in Lancashire. These are set to include contributions by the English Consultancy Team, the Ethnic Minority Achievement team, the Library Service, the Early Years Team and the Virtual School. The theme of this issue is Getting Everyone Reading. In our Teaching & Learning section, we have a set of articles aimed at doing just that. In our Reading Projects section, we look at what schools have already been doing to bring out everyone's inner reader. Over 300 schools across all Lancashire districts have signed up to the We Are Reading Pledge. If you have not yet signed up, you can do so by contacting us at WeAreRead- [email protected].

Proceedings were introduced by Senior Adviser Paul Duckworth and opened by County Councillor Susie Charles, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People & Schools. This was a fabulous afternoon where headteachers, teachers and pupils from across Lancashire schools joined together to celebrate their love of reading. "Reading is fun- it takes "Loved the workshop you to a new world. with Martin Griffin- You learn as you read" gave me lots of ideas to use back in school" "I love to read because it makes you a wiser "Loved the author ses- person; more aware of sion with Jon Mayhew. the world around you It was really fun" allowing your imagina- tion to blossom" "A very inspirational and motivating day.

They trans- ported the audience, teachers and pupils alike, to other worlds as they shared inspira- tions for their stories. This was followed by a number of workshops led by these authors along with Steve Smallman (illustrator and author), professional story tellers, the Library Service and Lan- cashire consultants. The marketplace was a vibrant and exciting area where schools could browse among the stalls and also meet "Miss Spellbound". It was a wonderful afternoon which left everyone feeling inspired and excited about reading.

  • Impact of Building Schools for the Future Announcement of Monday 5 July 2010
    Impact of Building Schools for the Future announcement of Monday 5 July 2010 1. This list sets out the impact on schools of the announcement on Building Schools for the Future (BSF) made by the Secretary of State for Education on Monday 5 July 2010. It has been produced by Partnerships for Schools (PfS) after validation at senior level in Local Authorities and rigorously checked by the Department for Education, including by making telephone contact with every Local Authority listed and with all affected Academy sponsors. 2. This process of checking has been necessary because of the complexity of the BSF process, to ensure the accuracy of this list and, in particular, because, to date, PfS has collected data from Local Authorities about BSF schools as they progressed. Rather than micromanaging individual schools, PfS has relied on Local Authority-level information. 3. All Local Authorities which were participating in BSF are listed, plus those who have had one school pathfinders or academies built or being built through the Partnerships for Schools Academies Framework. That is 102 Local Authorities out of a total of 152. And every school which was included within a Local Authority project is listed and is categorised as either ‘open’, ‘unaffected’, ‘for discussion’ or ‘stopped’. 1592 schools are listed in total. 159 are categorised as ‘open’, 547 as ‘unaffected’, 151 as ‘for discussion’ and 735 as ‘stopped’. 4. For simplicity, and because large numbers of pupils cross constituency boundaries to attend school, this list does not provide a breakdown of schools by constituency. 5. There are many examples of Local Authorities in this list having schools in more than one of these categories.

  • Admissions Arrangements 2021/22
    LANCASHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL DETERMINED ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS FOR COMMUNITY AND VOLUNTARY CONTROLLED SECONDARY SCHOOLS FOR 2021/22 ALL DISTRICTS The purpose of the admission arrangements is to ensure that all school places for maintained schools are allocated and offered in an open and fair way. LCC must comply with the School Admissions Code, published by the Department for Education [DfE], which has 'a force of law'. When a school is oversubscribed, ie, it has more applicants than places available, it needs a policy to allocate and offer places in an open and fair way, in line with the School Admissions Code. Listed below is the policy and associated procedures used by Lancashire County Council when allocating places for Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools. The supplementary notes and Geographical Priority Areas [GPA] which form part of the admission arrangements make it clear to parents how and why places are allocated in a fair, clear and objective way. Towards the end of the report, the admission arrangements for the Community and Voluntary Controlled Sixth Forms are provided :~ SECONDARY An admission number will be published showing the maximum number of pupils that the school will admit in the Autumn Term 2021. Parents are given the opportunity to express three preferences for a secondary school. Published criteria are used to decide which children should be offered the available places. In secondary schools an equal preference system operates, whereby the three parental preferences are given equal status. Each preference will be considered equally against the admissions criteria. When a secondary school is oversubscribed the following priorities apply in order: 1.
