  • Attendance Leave of Absence
    Website: www.HAST-Education.co.uk September 2014 Dear Parents/Carers Attendance: Leave of Absence We are writing to outline the new guidance from Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) regarding leave of absence for the purpose of family holidays during school term-time (August 2013) and the implementation of Fixed Penalty Notices (September 2014). Good attendance at school encourages good progress. Evidence shows that children with attendance below 90% made on average less than two-thirds of the annual progress made by pupils with attendance above 90%. Please be aware that there is no right or entitlement to term-time leave and any requests for such leave will not, as a rule, be granted. Any decision as to what constitutes ‘exceptional circumstances’ is at the discretion of the Headteacher. The following instances are offered as examples of what might reasonably be seen to constitute ‘exceptional circumstances’: A parent or other close relative of the child has a serious, life-threatening or terminal medical condition and it is believed that the holiday requested may be the last opportunity for the family to experience such an event; A parent is in the armed forces and is shortly due to be posted overseas to a known danger-spot, such as Afghanistan; The family is in an extreme state of crisis and it is considered that the holiday in question may help the family to avert or better deal with this crisis; Fixed Penalty Notices A Fixed Penalty Notice (£60 per parent/carer per child) may be issued when: A pupil is taken out of school during term-time for a holiday which has not been authorised by the school; A truancy patrol carried out by a School Attendance Officer has found a pupil absent from school and the absence has not been authorised by the school; Working with Central Bedfordshire Council Registered Office: c/o Harlington Upper School, Goswell End Road, Harlington, Dunstable, Bedfordshire.

He was known throughout the village, to be seen in all areas that the Council is responsible for, and I believe that the Council and Village will seriously miss his knowledge and wit. Lyndon served as a Parish Councillor for over 20 years, and Chairman of the Parish Council for 12 of those years.

  • Barnfield College Inspection Report
    Barnfield College Inspection Report Unique reference number: 130599 Name of lead inspector: Paula Heaney HMI Last day of inspection: 27 April 2012 Type of provider: General Further Education College York Street Luton Address: Bedfordshire LU2 0EZ Telephone number: 01582 569500 Published date 06 June 2012 Inspection Number 388000 Inspection report: Barnfield College, 27 April 2012 1 of 27 Information about the provider 1. Barnfield College is the largest provider of further education in the Luton area and is located on three campuses in Luton, one in Bedford, and includes a hairdressing academy in nearby Harpenden. Outreach provision stretches across Luton and Bedfordshire to include higher education, apprenticeships and response to redundancy programmes. The college provides a range of full- and part-time courses across all vocational sectors from foundation level through to foundation degrees. 2. Luton is one of the UK’s most diverse towns with over 140 nationalities and 100 languages spoken. Around 28% of residents are from minority ethnic backgrounds. Luton has some areas of high deprivation, with three wards in the top 10% of the most deprived in the country. At 6.1% the unemployment rate is higher than the rest of Bedfordshire and the eastern region, but lower than the national rate. The proportion of students from areas of deprivation has increased significantly since the last inspection. 3. The college leads a federation (The Barnfield Education Partnership Trust) comprising two academies in Luton, previously underperforming secondary schools, and a full-time studio school opened in September 2010. The federation is expanding further to include primary provision.

It is a means by which we gain information and knowledge and it contributes towards our ability to communicate with each other. It facilitates our mobility and enables us to carry out a wide range of activities which we regard as ordinary and take for granted. Visual impairment can present problems in every aspect of life. It may become increasingly difficult to cope at home or at work. Independence and mobility are threatened or curtailed. Self-confidence is affected and relationships with family and friends can become strained, leading to further stress and anxiety. Sometimes the situation can be eased by discussing your eye condition with a Rehabilitation Officer. It can be helpful to consider alternative ways of doing many practical tasks e.g. cooking, reading, writing and getting about. Often simple changes at home such as improved lighting or the use of contrasting colours and decor can make it easier to manage.
