Kings Worthy is an oversubscribed primary school in a favourable area on the edge of Winchester, and has the added benefits of an onsite Pre-school setting and a phase three Children‟s Centre, which were completed in January 2011. I have been the Headteacher at the school since April 2011, and in September 2013 a new Deputy Headteacher joined our school to work alongside a strong and established Leadership team consisting of the Assistant Headteacher in KS2 and the KS1 Leader. The Early Years Foundation Stage Leader job has become vacant because in May 2013 the previous post holder was offered a post of Children‟s Centre Teacher Advisor with Hampshire County Council. The leadership role here at Kings Worthy has been vacant during this academic year because her resignation came in late May which didn‟t leave the school sufficient time to recruit to the post. The leadership responsibilities that come with the post are being fulfilled by myself, the Key Stage 1 leader and the staff in the Early Years Foundation Stage. The pupils at Kings Worthy are absolutely delightful and are enthusiastic learners. Parental support is very strong, and the Governing Body is effective. Pastoral care is a strength, and since my appointment the school‟s commitment to accelerate children‟s progress and achievement has been very successful. The sharp focus on raising standards and achievement has had a very positive impact, and I am very proud that the Ofsted inspection in March 2012 judged the school to be good with some excellent features. The school has enormous potential and the role of the leaders will be crucial in helping to embed and build upon the improvements. Joining our staff at this exciting and pivotal time will require hard work and enthusiasm as we push forward, securing and sustaining the good and better outcomes for all pupils while not losing sight of educating “the whole child”. We are seeking to appoint an outstanding and creative classroom practitioner who has the skills to develop this in others. The successful candidate will also use their proven strong leadership skills to lead and inspire the whole school community in all areas of school improvement. We see this as an excellent opportunity for a person looking to advance their career and gain opportunities to develop their potential. Please find enclosed a pack containing information about our school, including a person specification, job description, teaching observation form and an application form. The closing date for applicants is noon on Wednesday 12th February and short listing will take place on the following day. Successful applicants will be contacted by telephone and e-mail immediately after short listing has been completed and will be invited to interview on Monday 3rd March. Part of the interview process will include a teaching observation by me and my Deputy, preferably in your current school environment during the week beginning 24th February. You will be expected to have gained prior approval for this from your headteacher. However, if this is not possible, we can arrange for your teaching observation to be at Kings Worthy on the day of the interview. We have enclosed an additional form to indicate your availability for this which must be returned with your application form. Please read through the job description and person specification and if you feel you would enjoy the challenge and rewards of working with us, we would be pleased to receive an application from you. Visits are welcome and strongly encouraged; please telephone the school office to make an appointment. Finally, may I wish you good luck with your application.

  • Church of St. Swithun. Headbourne Worthy, Hampshire. All Photos These Pages Are Described Viewed Clockwise from Top Left
    Church of St. Swithun. Headbourne Worthy, Hampshire. All photos these pages are described viewed clockwise from top left. 1. The north wall of the nave with the three extant pilaster strips (the centre strip being mostly hidden, in this view, by the medieval buttress). There is another strip on the S face of the chancel. 2. The long-and-short work of the NE quoin to the nave. Much of the fabric (including the Anglo-Saxon features) was rebuilt by G.E.Street in 1865-6 but original materials were reused in their original form. 3. The rood, larger than that at Breamore but more severely mutilated. Probably by order of Bishop Horne (1560-80) who is recorded by the VCH as having ordered the destruction of all Crucifixes in the Diocese of Winchester. The figures are rather more than life-size and are protected from the weather by the sixteenth century porch. nikon www.anglo-saxon-churches.co.uk 2011. page 1 Church of St. Swithun. Headbourne Worthy. 4. A detail of the rood, the hand of God descending from the clouds. 5. The west doorway to the porch and seen here its west face. It has square jambs of through stones (laid in ‘Escomb’ fashion) with plain chamfered bases and imposts, and a semi-circular arch of a single square order, also of through-stones. On the W face the bases and imposts are returned along the wall, and stopped against the outlining frame of square strip-work, which is carried up on either side of the jambs and round the head as a hood-mould.

  • Headbourne Worthy (Worthy Mortimer) Headbourne Worthy Alias Worthy Mortimer
    Headbourne Worthy (Worthy Mortimer) Headbourne Worthy alias Worthy Mortimer 1.0 PARISH Headbourne Worthy (Map 1) 2.0 HUNDRED Barton Stacey 3.0 NGR 448740 132000 4.0 GEOLOGY Upper Chalk; Alluvium 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Headbourne Worthy is a strangely shaped parish immediately to the north of Winchester. The western boundary is the A3420 north-west Roman road from Winchester to Andover. The eastern boundary is also a former Roman road (now the B3047 London Road that deviates a little to the north-west at Headbourne in order to avoid the course of the river Itchen. To the north Headbourne is divided from South Wonston by an ox drove. This regularity is broken by the north-eastern boundary with Kings Worthy which has a step-like appearance from New Wonston south to the Itchen. Some of the deviations in this line conform to the layout of enclosure fields suggesting that some parts of the boundary line are post-medieval and Modern. The south end of the parish is less than 1km from the north Winchester suburb of Abbots Barton. Spot heights within the principal settlement area vary from c. 40m to 54m AOD. 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3, 4 and 5) Church & Manor house + irregular agglomeration 6.1 Church and manor house Technically Headbourne Worthy is a church and manor house settlement but the two elements are separated by a distance of 400m. To some extent this spatial difference argues against the frequently postulated case for a church originating as the private chapel of a manor house.

  • Tenants, Tenures and Transfers: the Landholding Experience of Rural
    Tenants, Tenures and Transfers: the landholding experience of rural customary tenants in some Hampshire downland manors, 1645-1705 Submitted by Juliet Dorothy Gayton to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History In June 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University Signature: ………………………………………………………….. i Abstract This thesis examines the impact of different customary manorial tenures on the land transfer activities of rural tenants between 1645 and 1705. The study of land transfer has formed part of the attempt by historians to establish how and why England developed from family-based subsistence farming into large-scale commercialised agriculture before many of its Continental neighbours. A key element in any study of land transfer is the property rights of those undertaking the transfers. England had a variety of customary tenures, and little research has focussed on how they operated and impacted on rural tenant transfer behaviour in the early modern period. This study uses evidence from eight manors in Hampshire with four different types of tenure to explore how they affected what land transfer options the tenants had, and how transfers were used to further family and economic objectives. The types of tenure were copyhold of inheritance; copyhold for three lives; copyhold for three lives where the first could act alone; and a form of customary freehold.
