Part 3: Educating the Children of Service Personnel 3 Conclusions and recommendations Standard of education 1. We note the MoD’s commitment to maintaining high standards in SCE schools. We are satisfied that the procedures in place, including Ofsted inspections, ensure the standard of teaching in schools attended by Service children is at least ‘good’, or that where weaknesses are identified they are addressed. (Paragraph 16) Levels of achievement 2. It is encouraging to note that Service children’s progress is broadly in line with other pupils even though they face considerable challenges. However, mobile Service children do not perform as well as non-mobile Service children. With greater recognition of their needs and focused additional support, Service children could do even better. The Government should ensure that these children are given every opportunity to maximise their potential. (Paragraph 20) Access to education 3. The nature of Service life means that families have to be mobile if they are to accompany the Service parent. That moves can be made at short notice, or during term-time, means that parents may not have time to research the schools in the area, and may not get a place in their preferred school, as places in high performing schools are unlikely to be available either at short notice or part way through the school year. It is clear that there is a contradiction at the heart of the Covenant, in that Service families’ mobility makes it difficult for parents to get places in the schools of their choice. The timescale for the implementation of the New Employment Model will not help those children currently in education. The MoD needs to consider further how it can assist parents to gain access to their preferred choice of schools. (Paragraph 27) Conflict with the School Admissions Code 4. The Government should explain how it intends to resolve the conflict between the Armed Forces Covenant, which says that Service children may need special arrangements to access school places, and the Schools Admissions Code which sets out a strict timetable for admissions, to ensure that Service families can access the schools of their choice when they need them. (Paragraph 31) Funding of school places 5. Availability of school places will be a significant issue as large numbers of Service families are re-located as a result of re-basing and the withdrawal from Germany. We seek reassurance that there will be sufficient places for the children moving as part of major re-basing moves and the withdrawal from Germany. The Ministry of Defence must provide information promptly to allow the Department for Education to liaise with Local Authorities and the Devolved Administrations to ensure that the right 4 The Armed Forces Covenant in Action? Part 3 Educating the children of service personnel number of places and adequate funding will be provided in advance of major moves. (Paragraph 37) 6. Schools with significant numbers of Service children on their roll experience additional challenges, including a lack of the appropriate level of funding throughout the school year and difficulties caused by high levels of admissions through the school year. The Government should work with Local Authorities to ensure that appropriate funding is available. Where there is competition for places between Service children and the resident population, and both have equal merit, we question who will provide the funding for additional school places. One option may be for the Ministry of Defence to fund additional buildings, if needed, and the Local Education Authority to pay for staff and on-going maintenance costs. (Paragraph 38) Advantages of Service life 7. While we acknowledge the challenges facing Service children we must not forget the advantages of Service life for children of Service families. (Paragraph 40) Service children with Special Educational Needs 8. The lack of clarity about the number of Service children with Special Educational Needs is disturbing. The Ministry of Defence and the Department of Education should liaise with the Devolved Administrations to establish how many Service children have Special Educational Needs across the UK so that the scale of the problem is known. (Paragraph 43) 9. Service children with Special Educational Needs are spread across the English local authorities, the Devolved Administrations and SCE schools overseas. The number in any one local authority or administration is likely to be small. We consider that, with the will and support of Government and engagement with the Devolved Administrations, it must be possible to make things easier for those families in this difficult situation. It is unacceptable that no progress has been made on our predecessor Committee’s 2006 recommendation that Service children with a Special Educational Needs should be given a statement which would be accepted by all schools. We welcome the Minister’s commitment to resolving the issue, and expect to see prompt action.

  • Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the Differences Between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas
    Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the differences between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas This document should be read in conjunction with the School Places Strategy 2017 – 2022 and provides an explanation of the differences between the Wiltshire Community Areas served by the Area Boards and the School Planning Areas. The Strategy is primarily a school place planning tool which, by necessity, is written from the perspective of the School Planning Areas. A School Planning Area (SPA) is defined as the area(s) served by a Secondary School and therefore includes all primary schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into that secondary school. As these areas can differ from the community areas, this addendum is a reference tool to aid interested parties from the Community Area/Area Board to define which SPA includes the schools covered by their Community Area. It is therefore written from the Community Area standpoint. Amesbury The Amesbury Community Area and Area Board covers Amesbury town and surrounding parishes of Tilshead, Orcheston, Shrewton, Figheldean, Netheravon, Enford, Durrington (including Larkhill), Milston, Bulford, Cholderton, Wilsford & Lake, The Woodfords and Great Durnford. It encompasses the secondary schools The Stonehenge School in Amesbury and Avon Valley College in Durrington and includes primary schools which feed into secondary provision in the Community Areas of Durrington, Lavington and Salisbury. However, the School Planning Area (SPA) is based on the area(s) served by the Secondary Schools and covers schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into either The Stonehenge School in Amesbury or Avon Valley College in Durrington.

  • Housemaster/Housemistress Senior School House
    CANDIDATE BRIEF HOUSEMASTER/HOUSEMISTRESS SENIOR SCHOOL HOUSE LETTER FROM THE HEADMASTER Dear Applicant, Having moved to Warminster with my wife and family relatively recently, I can speak from the heart about the warmth of welcome offered by the School community and indeed within the town of Warminster. In terms of location we are offered the best of both worlds with an ancient market town just five minutes’ walk away, but with the beautiful Longleat forest and estate within easy cycling distance. The town lies on the western edge of Salisbury Plain with some wonderful walking, and beautiful Wiltshire villages nearby. We are a 30-minute train ride from the historic Georgian city of Bath; Salisbury and its stunning cathedral is 20 minutes in the other direction. The School itself is simply one of the warmest and strongest communities I have known during my teaching career. It really is a friendly, supportive, yet invigorating place to live and work. The School's 60 acres give a sense of space and our beautiful buildings, some dating back to the early 1700s, give us a sense of tradition and permanence. We are a school steeped in history, but one that is not afraid to innovate and take risks. We transmit this to our pupils and staff who are encouraged to try new things, push out of their comfort zones and embrace failures as the best way to achieve success. Staff morale is high and there is a shared sense of purpose which is energising. We have an excellent staff development programme ensuring that colleagues are stimulated to keep growing as professionals.

Tedworth Polo Park, Wiltshire Tues 28 Sep 2021 | 2pm - 9.30pm Wed 29 Sep 2021 | 9:30am - 4pm The last 18 months have been hugely challenging for event organisers, and the charities that they support. Taking the Early, Early Christmas Fair (EECF) online was a big undertaking, but you all supported us and we are so grateful to everyone who helped raise much needed funds for ABF - The Soldiers’ Charity, in the most difficult year yet. The 2021 EECF, complete with marquees, stalls and stallholders, delicious food and drink will take place at Tedworth Park, Tidworth as always over a two-day period with a fabulous evening reception on the Tuesday night. There will be the usual fabulously eclectic display of produce and products: from beauty and fashion, food and drink, gifts and gadgets, jewellery and flowers, things for the home and the garden, and much, much more… Something for everyone and a place to meet, at last. Any government guidelines will be strictly adhered to, with whatever restrictions are in place at that time. Once again, we will be joined by Marc Allum, well known to many from the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow, who will be delighted to value your heirlooms and curios both at the Live Event, and later online during the Virtual Event.
