    Geraldine Travers Report on Sabbatical 1 March to 24 May 2010 The purpose of my sabbatical was to look at examples of good practice in schools particularly focussing on leadership, literacy and raising achievement. Some of the nine schools I visited provided useful insights into all three foci whereas others were specific to one particular focus. Friday March 5, 2010 Keda Cowling and ‘Toe by Toe’ Baildon Yorkshire Toe by Toe is a programme designed by Keda Cowling to assist the dyslexic, as well as students who experience difficulties in learning to read for a variety of reasons. It has gained an international reputation and I was interested to find out about how it works and the philosophy behind it. Keda was born in 1926 and was a bright child at school however the prevailing economic circumstances of the time meant that she was unable to continue her secondary education and began working in a nearby textile mill. During the war she was put to work in a munitions factory. When the war ended opportunities opened up and Keda completed her education and enrolled in a teachers college. Her early life experiences gave her a great affinity for the underdog. Keda's husband built a house for the family in Baildon next door to school and as Keda was unable to drive it seemed to her to be a good idea to teach at the next-door school. The school had a vacancy for a teacher of second years, which Keda accepted although she had never taught this age group before.

    Transforming religious education Religious education in schools 2006 ̶ 09 This report evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of religious education (RE) in primary and secondary schools and discusses the key issues at the heart of RE teaching today. It is based principally on evidence from visits to 94 primary and 89 secondary schools in England between 2006 and 2009. The sample of schools represented a cross-section, including voluntary controlled schools, but did not include voluntary aided schools, for which there are separate inspection arrangements.

Some buses are shared between schools and in these instances, buses will operate on days that all relevant schools are in attendance unless marked on the timetable. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS/CARERS - If you are using school bus information to choose your child’s school, please be aware that these services are subject to change and may be withdrawn due to low use and/or a suitable public transport alternative. Any alternative may involve an extended journey time, use the general service network and a change of bus on route may be required. The provision of direct school buses in the 2021/22 academic year does not indicate that these buses will be provided in future academic years and parents should consider carefully how their child may get to/from school if no school bus was provided.
