  • School Admission Arrangements PDF 510 KB
    Report Title: School Admission Arrangements Contains Confidential No - Part I or Exempt Information? Member reporting: Councillor Airey, Lead Member for Children Services Meeting and Date: Cabinet - 23 February 2017 Responsible Officer(s): Alison Alexander, Strategic Director of Adult, Children, and Health Services; Kevin McDaniel, Head of Schools and Education Services Wards affected: All REPORT SUMMARY 1. The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead is the admissions authority for all community and voluntary controlled schools in the borough, and sets the admissions criteria for these schools. The borough has a duty to determine the arrangements for 2018/19 by 28 February 2017. There are no proposed changes to the admission arrangements from the current arrangements 2. The Local Authority also has a statutory duty to formulate a scheme to co- ordinate admission arrangements for all publicly funded schools within their area for phase transfer, e.g. primary to secondary school. This report recommends a revision to section 6 of the co-ordinated admissions scheme to ensure it is compatible with the schemes adopted by neighbouring authorities regarding the allocation of school places from the waiting list. This will mean that following the initial allocation of school places, late applications will be added to the waiting list before further offers are made. 3. It is recommended that a similar variation is made to the co-ordinated admissions scheme for 2017/18, which was determined on 15 March 2016. 1. DETAILS OF RECOMMENDATION(S) RECOMMENDATION: That Cabinet notes the report and: i) Approves and thereby determines, the admissions arrangements for 2018/19 by the 28 February 2017 national deadline.

  • Churches to Reflect on ‘Life in All Its Fullness’ by Jo Duckles
    www.oxford.anglican.org March 2018 No. 300 thedoor Tim discovers community organising page 11 Win a book see centrespread the Door – have your say page 3 Meet Margot Hodson page 16 Churches to reflect on ‘life in all its fullness’ By Jo Duckles THE Bishop of Oxford is calling on Christians across the diocese to join him in reflecting on the story of the raising of Lazarus this Lent. The Rt Revd Steven Croft is encouraging everyone to read the story, told in John 10 and 11. He has written Abundant Life – a series of 21 reflections, also available as podcasts, to accompany the Bible readings. The Abundant Life resources are accompanied by a verse and response style prayer and the piece of artwork pictured, which was created by Oxford based artist, Tom Bower. The booklet is selling like hot cakes. A fun companion booklet, GodVenture through the Life Of Lazarus, complete with stickers, is being used by 2,000 families. It comes hot on the heels of Exploring the Beatitudes – a three session course launched late last year. 4,000 copies have already been ordered with more than 300 small groups using the resource. In a recent blog, Bishop Steven wrote: “Lent began in the early Church as 40 days of preparation time for new Christians to prepare for baptism at Easter. The whole Church started to keep this 40 days to go back to the heart of the gospel and walk with the candidates as they prepared for this life-changing moment. “Christians give up things for Lent as a spiritual discipline, remembering the 40 days Jesus fasted in the wilderness.
