Este documento está disponible en español bajo pedido. Please contact the Planning Policy Team: [email protected] 01737 276178 Foreword “This Development Management Plan (DMP) will take forward the vision of our adopted Core Strategy, to make Reigate & Banstead one of the most desirable and attractive places to live, work in and visit. “Alongside the Core Strategy, the detailed policies and proposals in the DMP will guide planning applications across the borough, helping to ensure that we deliver the right development, in the right places and at the right time. “The wide ranging policies in the DMP will enable us to continue protecting and enhancing the things that make Reigate & Banstead a great place: our characterful towns and villages, our beautiful countryside and open spaces, and our healthy economy. “They will also support us in our ambitions to provide high quality homes that are affordable to local people, and which meet their needs whatever their stage of life. In addition, these policies will help us to ensure that our residents and businesses continue to have access to the services, facilities and infrastructure which they rely upon day to day. “We recognise that development can bring pressures and challenges. The policies in the DMP will mean that we are well placed to manage these so that that the impacts of growth on our residents, businesses and environment are minimised, but also that opportunities and benefits are maximised.

There is no doubt, however, in the continued historical and archival importance of this publication, and at no point was it considered that the Record would discontinue. Many of you have collections of the Record dating back to the year you came up, cherish the arrival of each edition, and read it from cover to cover. For the last nine years, Dr Robin Darwall- Smith has consistently produced a Record that is superbly written, accurate and full of interest, and I am sure that readers will want to join me in thanking Robin for his work as Editor in this time.

  • Coal Post Walk on Banstead Heath
    Coal post walk on Banstead Heath Map: Explorer 146 Dorking, Box Hill & Reigate. Total length: about 13.5 km (8½ miles). Start: Tattenham Corner station (shorter option: start from Tadworth station); finish: Kingswood station. There is a particular concentration of posts in the area of Banstead and Walton heaths, there being nowhere else where so many posts can be seen in such a short distance. This walk passes 26 – more than an eighth of the surviving total – though all are Type 2 posts (no railway or canal marks are passed). The countryside is very attractive too: this walk is entirely on the North Downs, starting on the chalk of Epsom and Walton Downs, then crossing Banstead and Walton Heaths where the chalk is overlain by clay with flints, and reaching the scarp slope of the downs at Colley Hill. The walk follows the boundary of the former parish of Banstead along a salient projecting south from the main area of the parish, between the former parishes of Walton on the Hill to the west and Kingswood (once a detached part of the parish of Ewell) to the east. Parishes in the former Banstead Urban District were abolished by the Local Government Act 1972, so although the walk follows ancient boundaries these are not marked on current Ordnance Survey maps. The walk starts from Tattenham Corner station, which is the final station on a branch line from Purley. Trains run from London Bridge or Victoria depending on the time of the day. Although the branch is largely outside Greater London it is included in Transport for London Zone 6 and so travelcards valid for Zone 6, Freedom Passes, etc are valid to all the stations mentioned in this description.

  • Site Maintenance Support with Security and Traffic Management
    IAPS co-educational day school, 3 - 11 Appointment of Site Maintenance Support with Security and Traffic Management From September 2017 1 Reigate St Mary's is an independent day school for approximately 350 boys and girls aged from rising 3 years to 11 years. It was formed in 1950 by the merger of the preparatory department of Reigate Grammar School and the choristers of St Mary's Church. In 2003, the school returned to its former status as the nursery and junior department of Reigate Grammar School. In 2017 Chinthurst School joined the RGS group of schools. The school is set in 15 acres of beautiful parkland and sports fields in the centre of Reigate, a pleasant market town in Surrey. Proximity to Gatwick airport, the M25 and rail links to London make this a popular area for parents with young families. Reigate St Mary's is one of a small number of schools with a traditional choir of boys and lay clerks led by the school Head of Choral Music. The RGS Godfrey Searle Choir sings regularly in school and church services, and performs in concerts throughout the UK and Europe, with music from the 15th to the 21st centuries and texts in several languages. The Godfrey Searle Choir Trust offers a choral scholarship to each chorister which can be subsequently transferred to Reigate Grammar School. The majority of pupils leave the school at age eleven and transfer to Reigate Grammar School, however, a small number each year move on to other senior schools which have included Dunottar, Box Hill School, Hurstpierpoint College, Worth School and Ardingly College.

  • What Is School Direct? What Are the Routes?
    What is School Direct? School Direct is a programme whereby schools recruit trainees directly and select them to train and work within their partnership schools. Schools, therefore, have more control over the quality of training that is provided and how it is delivered. We guarantee an interview for any relevant post in a partnership school for those who are successful on the programme with us. What are the routes? There are two routes into School Direct: Salaried and non- salaried. The salaried route is aimed at graduates with at least 3 years work experience and is an employment based route into teaching. The non-salaried route is open to all graduates funded by tuition fees paid by the graduate. Our School Direct programmes will lead you to gaining a PGCE in conjunction with our partnership universities. Who is in our partnership? The Warwick School (Lead School) (www.warwick.surrey.sch.uk) Reigate School (http://www.reigate-school.surrey.sch.uk) Oakwood School (http://www.oakwood.surrey.sch.uk) Reigate College (http://www.reigate.ac.uk/) Royal Alexandra and Albert School (http://www.raa-school.co.uk/) University of Sussex (http://www.sussex.ac.uk/education) University of Brighton (http://about.brighton.ac.uk/education/) St. Mary’s University College, Twickenham (http://www.smuc.ac.uk/education-theology-and- leadership/) We have a very successful and long-standing tradition of working with these schools and universities and have been fortunate enough to offer permanent employment to several of our PGCE student teachers in the past. What kind of training can we offer you? The model for training that we will follow will primarily focus on training in the classroom as well as having regular focused training days delivered by outstanding practitioners.

  • Weekly News Bulletin
    Weekly News Bulletin Friday 6 September 2019 Headmaster's Roundup It is an absolute joy to have the children back in school. Although we get a lot done during the holidays when rooms are empty, the school comes alive again when the children return and what a great first two days they have had. The excitement on their faces as they met up with old friends, were introduced to their new teachers and enjoyed the new equipment and play space was a pleasure to see and there is a great positive buzz around the whole school. Thank you to FOSMA who kindly donated the new trim trail in the playground that the children have been enjoying - there is a constant queue! We have three new members of staff this term and a new appointment which you will already be aware of. Miss Alex Brotzel and Mr Felix Tiley join us as GAP students and Mrs Rachel Faulkner joins the marketing team. Mr Hollands has now retired and Miss 'Maria' Ibaceta has joined the teaching staff as our MFL Coordinator and teacher for children right down to the Early Years. During the holidays you will have received a communication from me sharing with you how well our senior school students had done in their public examinations. I am delighted that our former RSM pupils successfully performed slightly better than the very high average RGS student. At GCSE, 85% of their grades were 9-7 (Formerly A** - A) and at A Level, 65% of their grades were A* or A. It is nice to confirm once again that our typical RSM cohort more than hold their own at our senior school, reassuring us that the foundations t we put in place at RSM really do prepare them for both secondary schooling and beyond.
