The spiritual and secular support and encouragement of a committed and caring benefice; An opportunity to work with three PCCs that are looking for change and are already actively pursuing new initiatives; An attractive rural environment in which to live and work, with excellent recreational and educational facilities and good transport links The Vicarage This is located in a residential area about a quarter of a mile from the church in the centre of Silsoe, about 1.5 miles from Flitton and 2 miles from Pulloxhill. It is a two storey detached house, built in 1998, of about 208m2 (2,240sq.ft.), brick under a reconstituted slate roof, with a detached double garage. The ground floor includes sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom and well-equipped study large enough to accommodate meetings. There are four bedrooms on the first floor, with a bathroom/WC and a shower room/WC. The property has mains gas central heating. The garden of approximately 0.33 acre (0.13 ha) is a level plot laid primarily to lawn. 2 The Benefice Location The Benefice is composed of three parishes, Silsoe, Flitton and Pulloxhill, which are adjacent to each other and located in lovely countryside in central Bedfordshire, about halfway between Luton and Bedford. There are excellent transport links, being close to both the M1 and A1 roads and rail services from nearby Flitwick to London St Pancras, for Eurostar, as well as for Gatwick and Luton Airports.

This, combined with the lack of a major employer in the benefice, means that only a small proportion of residents work locally, the majority commuting to work, many to London. Silsoe has a small selection of shops, including a post office, village shop and hairdressers. A range of facilities, including supermarkets, health care and professional services are available in nearby towns. Silsoe is the largest parish in terms of numbers of residents, and is growing rapidly due to new developments. Pulloxhill and Flitton & Greenfield have smaller populations. Local buses are relatively scarce, although there is a regular service between Luton and Bedford which stops in Silsoe and there is a volunteer bus service, Flittabus. It would, however, be difficult to live in the benefice without access to a car. 3 Local government is provided by a Parish Council for each parish while Central Bedfordshire Council provides major services. There are no other churches or chapels in the benefice. Leisure and recreation Currently there is a sports centre with swimming pool at Flitwick, with a new one to be built over the next two years. There are sports fields in Silsoe and Flitton, the latter with a multi-use games area with floodlights. A new sports hall is being built at Silsoe. There is a network of footpaths and bridleways joining the three parishes which are well used by dog walkers, joggers, cyclists and horse riders. Flitwick Moor and Flitton Moor, Centenary Wood and Barton Hills are all valuable recreational areas and wildlife havens in or near the benefice. Education Central Bedfordshire operates a 3-tier education system, with lower, middle and upper schools. All three parishes have lower schools that are Ofsted-rated ‘Outstanding’. At age 9, children move to a middle school – the catchment schools are Arnold Academy in Barton- Le-Clay, school, rated ‘Good’, which also has a specialist unit for children with autism and then, at 13 to Harlington Upper School, with specialist facilities for hearing-impaired students, also rated ‘Good’. All these catchment schools have converted to Academy status. A bus service takes the children to the middle and upper catchment schools. There is also a range of private schools – in particular the Harpur Trust Schools in Bedford - which many children attend, particularly from the age of 9. There are bus services available from locations within the benefice to these schools. Silsoe VC Lower School Silsoe Lower School is a voluntary controlled lower school and is very proud of its church school status. The close partnership between the school, the incumbent and the church community is a major reason why the school retained its “Outstanding” status in the recent SIAMS Inspection in June 2014. The strong links between the school, incumbent

  • Attendance Leave of Absence

    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.

    Silsoe Heritage Scholarship Fund Silsoe Heritage Scholarship Fund

    Silsoe Heritage Scholarship Fund Silsoe Heritage Scholarship Fund Since the first cohort of students came through the doors of the National College of Agricultural Engineering at Silsoe (which in 1975 joined Cranfield University and was later enamedr Silsoe College in 1983), thousands of students from across the world have graduated with degrees related to agriculture and the environment, with many going on to make substantial contributions in their field. In 2009 the University moved activities from the Silsoe site to the main Cranfield campus, a move which allowed us to integrate our traditional Silsoe strengths with the science, engineering and management skills found on the Cranfield campus. To celebrate this we launched the Silsoe Heritage Scholarship Fund to support students in topics related to Land and Water Management. Celebrating our Silsoe heritage At Cranfield University we are keen to attract the best and brightest students. For many, financial support is crucial to allow them to participate in courses in topic areas for which we have an international reputation. One of these key areas is agricultural and rural development, built through more than 40 years of research and training at Silsoe. The Silsoe Heritage Scholarship Fund recognises outstanding potential among the postgraduate students deemed most likely to have a significant impact in their field. These scholarships, made possible by the financial support of alumni and friends closely associated with the University, will ensure that Silsoe’s history, heritage and contributions will continue to be recognised and celebrated in the future. As well as donations from alumni and friends, the scholarship has received important funding from the sale of a small collection of vintage machinery, to be preserved for the future by individual specialists.
