VALE ROYAL INTRODUCTION 2 This document details Youth arts activity and organisations in West Cheshire and Chester is presented in this document on a district-by-district basis. This project is part of a wider pan Cheshire audit of youth arts including; a separate document also for East Cheshire, a sub-regional and county wide audit in Cheshire as well as a report analysis recommendations for youth arts for the future. This also precedes the new structure of Cheshire’s two county unitary authorities following LGR into East and West Cheshire and Chester, which will come into being in April 2009 An audit of this kind will never be fully accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date. Some data will be out-of-date or incorrect as soon as it’s printed or written, and we apologise for any errors or omissions. The youth arts audit aims to produce a snapshot of the activity that takes place in West Cheshire provided by the many arts, culture and youth organisations based in the county in the spring and summer of 2008– we hope it is a fair and balanced picture, giving a reasonable impression of the scale and scope of youth arts activities, organisations and opportunities – but it is not entirely exhaustive and does not claim to be.

  • Weaverham High School Admissions Policy
    Admissions 2022 -2023 Policy Weaverham High School Approved by: Governing Body Date: September 2020 Last reviewed on: September 2020 Next review due by: September 2021 Page 1 of 8 2022-23 Admissions Policy Admissions Years 7 – 11 The Governing Body, at the outset, would like to remind parents that Weaverham High School is a comprehensive school, welcoming students regardless of ability or aptitude. Co-ordinated Admission Arrangements for Secondary School The school will positively comply with School Admissions legislation requiring all Local Authorities (LAs) to co- ordinate admission arrangements in their area. Co-ordinated admission schemes provide a way for ensuring that every parent living in a Local Authority (LA) receives an offer of one, and only one, school place on the same day with letters being posted out on National Offer Day. Parents should formally accept or decline the place offered by the deadline date. Key Admissions Dates are published by the LA and can be found in the Admissions section of their web-site. Foundation schools such as ours act as their own admission authority, applying their own admission criteria as detailed below. However, all parents will only have to fill in one application form and will receive their offer from the LA in whose area they live. The Common Application Form (CAF) must be used by all Cheshire West and Chester parents applying for a school place, whether inside or outside Cheshire West and Chester. Parents should have regard to the contents of the LA’s “Transferring to Secondary School, A Guide to Parents/Carers”. Admissions Information Admission and Age Groups Applications for admission, and any appeals, are normally considered in relation to the availability of places in the child’s chronological age group, other than in exceptional circumstances.

  • Lct 5: Undulating Enclosed Farmland
    LCT 5: UNDULATING ENCLOSED FARMLAND General Description This character type is defined by undulating topography and the associated small to medium scale enclosure into which it is divided. Key characteristics are the generally cohesive and un-fragmented historic landscape in the south of the borough, small woodlands, ponds and streams, nucleated rural villages and scattered farmsteads. Land use is mainly pasture. Away from main roads, railways and settlement the landscape is generally quiet and rural. Views within this type very much depend upon location and the nature of the immediate topography. There is a range of monuments from Bronze Age barrows to post medieval canal locks. The character type is found across a large part of the Cheshire West and Chester borough; to the east between Northwich and the Sandstone Ridge and in the south of the borough. Visual Character The location of this landscape type is reflected in the prevailing views which extend to adjacent character areas, either out over the low-lying plain or up towards the often dominant Sandstone Ridge. Roads typically follow the rolling topography, offering extensive views from high vantage points out over the immediate field pattern and extending to the high ground in the far distance such as the Pennines in the east. Long distance views are sometimes affected by large scale industrial works in adjacent areas. LCT 5: Undulating Enclosed Farmland 138 From low ground the landscape appears smaller in scale due to the increase in enclosure and the contained views where skylines are typically formed by hedgerow trees, woodland and farmsteads, with occasional electricity pylons and church spires.
