Hereford & Worcester FREE TAKE ME HOME Hereford & Worcester Issue 47 September/October 2017 familiesonline.co.uk Editor’s Letter Dear readers Autumn is here and its back to school. Where did the Summer holidays go? The change in routine is a big shock after the long summer break - for us parents as well as for the kids !– and this leads to tiredness and the occasional tantrum, particularly among younger children. So you may find our feature in this issue on dealing with tantrums useful. Children move up a class in September and this brings with it the difficulty of working to new and more challenging levels. We report on how you can help improve you children’s performance by working with them at home. And we have a handy guide for those of you worried about the etiquette of Halloween Trick-or-Treating, a key part of the Autumn calendar.

Register for Wear A Hat Day 2018 and start planning your event! Wear A Hat Day is the UK’s premier brain tumour research fundraising event. It takes place on Thursday 29 March 2018. March is also UK Brain Tumour Awareness Month. Schools and families across the country get involved to help raise funds for research into brain tumors’. Brain tumors kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer… yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease. Families are being left devastated by this dreadful disease. Taking part can be as simple as putting on a hat and donating on the day, but most families like to create entertaining fundraising events. Many schools for example have inventive hat competitions, parades and fashion shows and raise hundreds if not thousands of pounds. Register now on www.wearahatday.org and start planning your hattastic fundraising event. Your fundraising pack will be sent out in early 2018. familiesonline.co.uk To advertise call: 01684 770566 or email: [email protected] 3 Education Succeed In Secondary School September brings with it a new class or even a move to a • Their new teacher will have had information about your different school for your child.

  • Pdf Abberley Hall School
    22nd January 2021 Planning Policy Malvern Hills District Council, Planning Services, The Council House, Avenue Road, Malvern, Worcestershire, WR14 3AF By email to:- [email protected] Dear SSirs REPRESENTATIONS TO THE DRAFT ABBERLEY NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN In our capacities as Chair of Governors and Headmaster of Abberley Hall School (the School), please find below the School’s representations in connection with the above document, which we welcome the opportunity to comment on. Abberley Hall School is a long-established preparatory school providing education for over 150 pupils between 2 and 13 years of age. We are part of the Malvern College family of independent schools. The School constitutes an important community facility and is one of the major employers in this part of Malvern Hills District. Our position is therefore to review and ensure that any draft neighbourhood development plan proposals do not affect the abilities of the School to adapt in the future to respond to the needs of its current and prospective students. We have carefully reviewed the draft Abberley Neighbourhood Development Plan document as the School’s grounds fall partly within the boundary of the Neighbourhood Plan. We acknowledge that draft Policy ABY4 (Community Facilities) recognises Abberley Hall School as one of the existing community facilities within Abberley. We are content with the wording of this policy and others within the draft neighbourhood plan. However, we would respectfully request to be kept informed of any amendments to the draft neighbourhood plan to ensure that these changes will not be unduly restrictive for the School. We trust the representations submitted will be fully considered and would welcome the opportunity to be engaged with the remainder of the neighbourhood plan process in due course.
