Your child will also benefit from being taught in workshops by our specialist teachers, enabling them to catch up with any knowledge they may have missed during Year 5 and Year 6 due to being in and out of multiple lockdowns and school closures. Summer school is not just school in the summer. All children will have opportunities to experience exciting activities that we hope will inspire and enthuse their love of learning and adventure ready for their next stage of education. Whilst our schedule is still being finalised, it is anticipated that summer school will include the following and much more: • Going back in time to scupper the gun powder plot; • Going back to the 1500’s to experience the Shakespeare theatre; • ‘Space travel’ and an opportunity to take part in astronaut training! • Exploration of a new career as an athlete with Wakefield Trinity; • Explore French cuisine and cook up a storm in our very own ratatouille restaurant! • Activities that will enable pupils to answer questions such as: o ‘What if Disney had STEAM?’ o How fast did Robin Hood’s arrows travel? • Final day ‘Summer School Graduation’. On our final day there will be the opportunity for parents/carers to join us remotely for our celebration event at our own Summer School Graduation! This will run in the afternoon with timings to be confirmed nearer the time.

  • Wakefield Metropolitan District Council Home to School Transport
    WAKEFIELD METROPOLITAN DISTRICT COUNCIL HOME TO SCHOOL TRANSPORT POST 16 TRANSPORT POLICY 2018/2019 eport on: Transport policy statement for learners aged 16-18 in further education and training and continuing learners with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities aged 19 and over ACADEMIC YEAR: 2018/2019 1 1. SUMMARY OF POLICY STATEMENT AND MAIN OBJECTIVES 1.1 There is no automatic entitlement to free home to school or college transport once a student is over 16 years. Responsibility for making appropriate transport arrangements rests with a student and/or parents/carers. 1.2 Providing assisted transport (e.g. taxis, specially adapted vehicles) will only be provided in exceptional circumstances. 1.3 Wakefield Council is committed to ensuring that every child and young person can fulfil their potential. The aim of this policy is that all children and young people with an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) should lead lives that are as independent and as free from restriction as possible and that each child and young person is supported to achieve independent travel wherever practicable. 1.4 This policy explains the entitlement to travel assistance for children and young people post 16. Wakefield Council’s policies on travel to and from school and other establishments for statutory aged pupils and statutory aged pupils with special educational needs are available separately. 1.5 The main objective of the Wakefield Transport Partnership is to provide accessibility to education or training as a means of promoting learning, training, social inclusion, choice and diversity of learning provision. The central principal is that no learner should be prevented from taking part in full-time education (not less than 12 guided learning hours per week) or training because of the lack of support travelling to an education or training or learning provision or where appropriate, an independent specialist institution.

  • THE HISTORY of CLARENDON VILLAS FOREWORD Whilst Researching the Material for My First
    THE HISTORY OF CLARENDON VILLAS FOREWORD Whilst researching the material for my first ‘House History’ project, ‘Highfield House & Sowood House’, (2010), I collected a great deal of information concerning other neighbouring land and buildings. After a great deal of thought I decided it was a shame not to make use of this material. The result of this decision was the production of two more Local/House History publications. My second project ‘The History of the South Ossett Triangle’ is a potted history of the land shaped like a triangle, bordered by three roads, now called Horbury Road, Manor Road and Sowood Lane. On this land was built the Parish Church, the Vicarage and the two Schools. This third project I have called ‘The History of Clarendon Villas and Greystones House’. These two new books (along with the Highfield and Sowood House one) complete a Trilogy of publications covering all the large houses as well as the Ecclesiastical Buildings on this area of land, built in the 19th Century. Clarendon Villas, is situated on Horbury Road, up the next driveway to Highfield House & Cottage. (Access is now from Vicar Lane) The bottom of the garden of Greystones House backed onto the garden of Highfield Cottage. The daughter of the family who lived in part of Highfield House, Gwen Hopkins, married John Judge and they bought No 18b (which included the garden) of Greystones. My parents allowed Gwen to come into our garden and pass through our garage in order to visit her parents, thus saving about a half mile journey! I have tried my best to verify all the information used in this publication but mistakes do happen and I crave your indulgence for any that may have been made.
