Many in the Village have received the first vaccination jab and we are told we may be able to get a second jab and a haircut in the next weeks! However the Village will not come to life just yet. There will be no Spring Flower Show in April. The June Music Festival is postponed for another year. Are we actually going to see the return of the Lunch Club, the NCANT meetings, Parish Council Meetings with actual people? Perhaps go to church services where we can actually meet and talk to each other. Let’s hope so, as soon as it is safe; ZOOM is a great substitute but we are looking forward to some real meetings again. Bledington News is uploaded monthly to www.bledington.com See Bledington News in full Colour Bledington.com is Bledington’s website carrying full details of every aspect of Bledington. POST OFFICE AT ODDINGTON Angie Price Angie Price has made arrangements to open her Post Office in Oddington Village Hall at 10.30am to 12.00noon every Monday and Friday for the foreseeable future. Entrance is through the back door of Oddington Village Hall, adjacent to the hall car park by the children’s playground. 4 BLEDINGTON COMMUNITY SHOP AND CAFÉ—MARCH UPDATE Jo Shaw, Bledington Shop Manager February is merely as long as is needed to pass the time until March. J.R. Stockton I think in the current climate (weather and Covid!) this is probably a sentiment felt by everybody. I am sure we are all hoping that skipping through to March will provide us with some warmer weather and fewer restrictions! February in the shop has been very similar to January; we are still lovely and busy and very grateful to all our customers who continue to support us and shop local. The weather has been extremely cold; so our hot food offerings have been very welcomed, especially by all the local builders in the area! We also celebrated Valentine’s day and the cards and produce were really well received - must be lots of romantics in Bledington! The heart shaped chocolates flew out, as did the bouquets from Stow Flower Shop, which was amazing. We also promoted Shrove Tuesday, ensuring we had everything needed to have the perfect pancakes! Going forward, we are sourcing lots of lovely Easter chocolate, cards and gifts. With the fruit and vegetables, this month has seen Passionfruit, Kiwi, Blood Oranges, as well as some early Asparagus and delicious Rhubarb. And to brighten us all up, the daffodils are back! Our outside stands of fruit/veg are still a huge draw for our customers, knowing they can get fresh produce everyday. We are delighted to have several new volunteers signing up, which is really fantastic and we are very grateful to have them joining the team and helping to make the shop the success it is today. Community Shop Open Monday to Saturday: 9.00am to 4.00pm Sunday: 9.00am to 1.00pm Tel: 01608 65 99 77 Email: [email protected] Send your shopping list in advance for collection 5 CARE COMMITTEE DRIVERS - PLEA TO JOIN Sue Windsor With hospital trips beginning to increase and, hopefully, with life becoming more normal in the foreseeable future it would be good to have a few more drivers who would be prepared to do the hospital journeys. So if you are able to spare a few hours a month I would be very grateful to hear from you. It is so important that we keep this worthwhile service for the Village going. In the meantime a very big “Thank You” to our current drivers for all the help they have given us over the past year in very difficult circumstances. Do please contact me if you can help. [email protected] BLEDINGTON DIRECTORY Sue Windsor In view of the restrictions placed by the rules on Social Distancing you should have received, or will shortly receive, your copy of the Bledington Directory. As this is considered so useful by many of you, it was thought that it would be best this year not to call for the money but we would ask that, if you feel able, you make a donation to the Care Committee either at The Old Vicarage or to Angela Lear at The Trinders. Many of you will know that the sale of the Directory every third year is the major fund raiser for the services provided by the Committee and we would be most grateful for your help in this difficult year. What do you call a man with a spade? Doug. What do you call a man without a spade? Douglas. 6 BLEDINGTON SCHOOL Mrs J Kewley, Headteacher Tamsin Year 4 During the Corona virus lock-down I’ve been going into school three days a week because my parents are key workers for the NHS. The other two days I stay at home and do remote learning. When I’m at school I love Art lessons best; we’ve done shadowing. We drew trees in different seasons and showed the features. I also love Golden time because we’ve been doing Hama bead pictures which you have to iron to complete. We have literacy and maths to do every day and we get French and PE lessons too! At home my brother and I have set up a work station at the kitchen table. We do our work at the same time with mummy supervising us and then we have 15 minute breaks, either to watch telly, draw or listen to music and relax. My brother uses his breaks to do lego! We are doing Zoom sessions with our class friends, teachers and teaching assistants twice a week; once when I’m at home and once when I’m in school. This is really good because we haven’t seen each other since before Christmas! Even though we can’t meet up we can still see each other’s faces and tell everyone what we’ve been doing so it’s really fun. I really want Covid to end, I know everyone does. I’m looking forward to seeing more of my friends and family and being able to travel to places again.

We have vacancies for co-opted governors and are looking for keen and enthusiastic people to join our dedicated team. You do not need to be an expert in the field of education. What you do need is an interest in the school and in the welfare of its pupils, together with the time and willingness to get involved. If interested, contact Sarah Newton ([email protected]) or Jill Kewley ([email protected]) 01608 658388 NEIL THE POSTMAN Tony Windsor Some readers may have wondered what has happened to our postman, Neil. I bumped into him in Chipping Norton the other day (12 February) and he told me that he had had a seizure at New Year resulting in a hospital stay. Thankfully he is recovered sufficiently to return to work but unfortunately is not allowed to drive so has a round in ‘Chippy’.

    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.

    STRATEGY, MISSION AND PEOPLE IN A RURAL DIOCESE A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER 1863-1923 BRIAN KNIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities August, 2002 11 Strategy, Mission and People in a Rural Diocese A critical examination of the Diocese of Gloucester 1863-1923 Abstract A study of the relationship between the people of Gloucestershire and the Church of England diocese of Gloucester under two bishops, Charles John Ellicott and Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson who presided over a mainly rural diocese, predominantly of small parishes with populations under 2,000. Drawing largely on reports and statistics from individual parishes, the study recalls an era in which the class structure was a dominant factor. The framework of the diocese, with its small villages, many of them presided over by a squire, helped to perpetuate a quasi-feudal system which made sharp distinctions between leaders and led. It is shown how for most of this period Church leaders deliberately chose to ally themselves with the power and influence of the wealthy and cultured levels of society and ostensibly to further their interests. The consequence was that they failed to understand and alienated a large proportion of the lower orders, who were effectively excluded from any involvement in the Church's affairs. Both bishops over-estimated the influence of the Church on the general population but with the twentieth century came the realisation that the working man and women of all classes had qualities which could be adapted to the Church's service and a wider lay involvement was strongly encouraged.
