Parents' Newsletter: Issue 3 2018-2019 April 2019 Parents’ Newsletter: Issue 3 2018-2019 April 2019 Welcome to the third newsletter of this academic year. Year 11: GCSE Preparation For our Year 11 students, attention has turned to the completion of controlled assessments and the final revision preparation for the terminal exams. On January 19th, we held our annual Family Revision morning, attended by over 120 people with Mr Patrick, Mrs Rossiter, Mr South and Mr Woodcock on hand to offer advice for the final push towards exams. My thanks also to our PTA volunteers who served up hot drinks and pastries to keep everyone going. The Easter break presents a very welcome chance to put those revision plans into action. We have been very impressed by how focused Y11 have been as they face the challenges ahead with confidence and commitment. For those parents who would welcome some advice and guidance to support their child in the coming weeks, I recommend you visit our website which has comprehensive advice and guidance from each subject area for the final weeks. Notice for all parents: Making appointments I would like to take this opportunity to remind all parents that we have a protocol for booking appointments to see staff during school time. We have recently seen an increase in the number of parents presenting at reception and asking to see a member of staff immediately. This often occurs during extremely busy times at the beginning or end of the school day. Can I remind all parents that all staff, including Senior Pastoral Leads and all members of the Senior Management Team, have teaching commitments during the school day and are often involved in meetings that have already been booked into the diary. We are always happy to meet with parents face to face, or discuss concerns via telephone, and welcome such contact to enable us to work with you to support your son or daughter at school. However, parents who arrive without making an appointment cannot usually be accommodated. Our Communications Policy gives full details about how we strive to ensure we are able to offer an effective liaison programme that helps to ensure all parents are able to discuss any concerns that may arise in a timely manner. The Communications Policy is available from our website: www.thomaskeble.gloucs.sch.uk All key policies can be found by following the ‘About Us’ link at the top of the page. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

We made just over £2,000! The PTA sells second-hand uniform for a minimum donation of £2 per item. If you require any second-hand uniform please contact Gail at [email protected] or Jo at [email protected] . If you have any donations of uniform these can be sent into school. The PTA runs the 100 Club to help raise funds and give members the opportunity to win cash prizes. If you would like to join please email for a form: [email protected]. If you would like to get involved with the PTA either as a member of the committee or as a volunteer helper for our fundraising events, please email us at the address: [email protected] or [email protected]. Attendance and Requests for Absence in Term Time It is important that all parents are aware of the government guidance regarding requests for absence. Headteachers are not permitted to agree to holiday leave during term time unless there are very exceptional circumstances. For example, a military family may not be able to secure leave during school holiday time to spend family time together. If you do submit a holiday request form, it is unlikely that the absence will be authorised. If, as a family you choose to continue with holiday plans, we have no choice but to record the absence as unauthorised. This means that parents face the risk of being issued with a penalty notice under current DfE guidance. The World Is Run By Those Who Turn Up Attending school every day results in 100% attendance. Attending for 4 ½ days per week leads to 90% attendance or 4 missed weeks per year. Attending school for 4 days per week leads to 80% attendance or more than half a term missed per year. An average attendance of 80% or less across a child’s school career adds up to missing two whole years from school! Bag2School The next collection at TK for Bag2School will be on Friday 10 May. Bags will be distributed to pupils in Years 7, 8 and 9 to bring home after the Easter holidays, but any bag filled with items for recycling is acceptable.

A3: Presentation and discussion on Social Prescribing. In the absence of Louise Ayliffe, Angela King had kindly agreed to speak on the topic. Angela had previously been a Village Agent. The Village and Community Agents scheme, managed by Gloucestershire Rural Community Council, had worked across the county helping thousands of older people and communities gain better access to services, information and assistance. However, now the Village and Community Agents have combined with the GP Social Prescribing scheme to become a new service called Community Wellbeing Agents and many former Agents have transferred to the new scheme. There are various Community Wellbeing providers in Gloucestershire. In this area, The Independence Trust has been commissioned to offer the service in Stroud & Berkeley Vale and now in our local Primary Care Network (PCN), the Stroud Cotswold Network (SCN) .The Social Prescribing scheme is free and confidential for anyone over the age of 16.

  • Secondary School and Academy Admissions
    Secondary School and Academy Admissions INFORMATION BOOKLET 2021/2022 For children born between 1st September 2009 and 31st August 2010 Page 1 Schools Information Admission number and previous applications This is the total number of pupils that the school can admit into Year 7. We have also included the total number of pupils in the school so you can gauge its size. You’ll see how oversubscribed a school is by how many parents had named a school as one of their five preferences on their application form and how many of these had placed it as their first preference. Catchment area Some comprehensive schools have a catchment area consisting of parishes, district or county boundaries. Some schools will give priority for admission to those children living within their catchment area. If you live in Gloucestershire and are over 3 miles from your child’s catchment school they may be entitled to school transport provided by the Local Authority. Oversubscription criteria If a school receives more preferences than places available, the admission authority will place all children in the order in which they could be considered for a place. This will strictly follow the priority order of their oversubscription criteria. Please follow the below link to find the statistics for how many pupils were allocated under the admissions criteria for each school - https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/education-and-learning/school-admissions-scheme-criteria- and-protocol/allocation-day-statistics-for-gloucestershire-schools/. We can’t guarantee your child will be offered one of their preferred schools, but they will have a stronger chance if they meet higher priorities in the criteria.

By the time I had got down the lane it had moved round to our gravel patch, and a man came trotting up past our house to apologize for parking there. Naturally I invited him in for a cup of tea, and he told me the story of his life. From the age of two he had been a Barnado's child in the cottage next to ours, and at the age of nine had been sent to Australia without warning or explanation.

  • Stroud Labour Party
    Gloucestershire County Council single member ward review Response from Stroud Constituency Labour Party Introduction On 30 November the Local Government Boundary Commission started its second period of consultation for a pattern of divisions for Gloucestershire. Between 30 November and 21 February the Commission is inviting comments on the division boundaries for GCC. Following the completion of its initial consultation, the Commission has proposed that the number of county councillors should be reduced from 63 to 53. The districts have provided the estimated numbers for the electorate in their areas in 2016; the total number for the county is 490,674 so that the average electorate per councillor would be 9258 (cf. 7431 in 2010). The main purpose of this note is to draw attention to the constraints imposed on proposals for a new pattern of divisions in Stroud district, which could lead to anomalies, particularly in ‘bolting together’ dissimilar district wards and parishes in order to meet purely numerical constraints. In it own words ‘the Commission aims to recommend a pattern of divisions that achieves good electoral equality, reflects community identities and interests and provides for effective and convenient local government. It will also seek to use strong, easily-identifiable boundaries. ‘Proposals should demonstrate how any pattern of divisions aids the provision of effective and convenient local government and why any deterioration in equality of representation or community identity should be accepted. Representations that are supported by evidence and argument will carry more weight with the Commission than those which merely assert a point of view.’ While a new pattern of ten county council divisions is suggested in this note, it is not regarded as definitive but does contain ways of avoiding some possible major anomalies.

  • Financial Notice to Improve Thomas Keble School
    Education and Skills Funding Agency Sanctuary Buildings Great Smith Street London SW1P 3BT Tel: 0370 000 2288 ESFA-enquiry-form 8 January 2019 Mr Steve Ponting Thomas Keble School, Eastcombe, Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL6 7DY Company Number: 07698037 Dear Mr Ponting Financial notice to improve: Thomas Keble School I am writing to you in your capacity as the Chair of Thomas Keble School (“the Trust”). As you know, the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) has been monitoring the Trust’s progress towards setting a balanced budget and producing a realistic and accurate plan for recovery following the warning letter sent to the Trust on 15 February 2018. I recognise the cooperation and extensive discussions that have taken place between the Trust and officials. However, my concerns remain in relation to the weak financial position and financial management at the Trust. On 9 July 2018 the Head of Region – South West also wrote to the Trust’s Accounting Officer highlighting the concerns we have for Thomas Keble School and its current financial management and governance. In this letter, the ESFA confirmed that if the Trust was unable to produce a plan for recovery, or required further recoverable deficit funding to prevent it from running out of cash, then a financial notice to improve would be issued. The trust has failed to set balanced budgets for 2017/18 and 2018/19 in breach of the Academies Financial Handbook (AFH). Paragraph 2.3.1 of the AFH clearly states: The board of trustees must approve a balanced budget … for the financial year to 31 August, which can draw on unspent funds brought forward from previous years.
