  • Barley Close Blackhorse Emersons Green Mangotsfield Thursday 25Th
    Emersons Green Primary School September 2014 Dear Parents, Thank you for your interest in sending your child to one of the schools in the Emerson Green/ Mangotsfield area. We understand that choosing the right school for your child is very important and you will need time and information before you are able to make your decision. The above four schools work very closely together and in order to help, we have allocated times for you to visit each school if you wish. (See below). The meetings will give you an opportunity to view the school(s) and meet the Headteacher(s) and ask any questions you may have. These meetings are not really suitable for children. Once you have made a decision and a place has been offered there will be opportunities for parents and children to visit the school and become more familiar with the staff and the setting. Sometimes parents have confidential issues they would like to discuss with the Headteacher(s). Usually it is possible to do this briefly at the end of the meetings. However you may want to ring the school prior to the meeting to check whether you need to make an alternative appointment if you would like to talk in confidence. Times of meetings Barley Close Blackhorse Emersons Mangotsfield Green Thursday 25th September 1.30pm Wednesday 8th October 9:30am Thursday 16th October 10.30 am Friday 7th November 9.30am Monday 17th November 2.00pm Wednesday 19th November 6.15 pm Tuesday 25th November 9:30am Wednesday 26th November 6.30pm Thursday 27th November 2.00 pm Wednesday 6th January 6.00pm Thursday 8th January 7.00pm 9.30am All schools in South Gloucestershire are listed in a booklet “Admission to Primary Schools in South Gloucestershire – A Guide for Parents/ Carers”.

  • Shirehampton Remount Depot
    Shirehampton Remount Depot During World War I the main form of transport for troops, munitions and supplies was the horse or mule. The military effort on the Western Front from August 1914 to November 1918 required a continual supply of these animals. Several Remount Depots were set up across the UK to help maintain this supply. Shirehampton was one of the largest and over 300,000 horses passed through Shirehapmton and Avonmouth between 1914 and 1918. There are no surviving physical remains and very few very few These images are used courtesy of the Shirehampton Book of images of the Remount Depot. Remembrance At the beginning of the war most of these http://shirehamptonbookofremembrance.webs.com/ horses came from British farms, but this supply was quickly exhausted.

  • South Gloucestershire Council Conservative Group
    COUNCIL SIZE SUBMISSION South Gloucestershire South Gloucestershire Council Conservative Group. February 2017 Overview of South Gloucestershire 1. South Gloucestershire is an affluent unitary authority on the North and East fringe of Bristol. South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) was formed in 1996 following the dissolution of Avon County Council and the merger of Northavon District and Kingswood Borough Councils. 2. South Gloucestershire has around 274,700 residents, 62% of which live in the immediate urban fringes of Bristol in areas including Kingswood, Filton, Staple Hill, Downend, Warmley and Bradley Stoke. 18% live in the market towns of Thornbury, Yate, and Chipping Sodbury. The remaining 20% live in rural Gloucestershire villages such as Marshfield, Pucklechurch, Hawkesbury Upton, Oldbury‐ on‐Severn, Alveston, and Charfield. 3. South Gloucestershire has lower than average unemployment (3.3% against an England average of 4.8% as of 2016), earns above average wages (average weekly full time wage of £574.20 against England average of £544.70), and has above average house prices (£235,000 against England average of £218,000)1. Deprivation 4. Despite high employment and economic outputs, there are pockets of deprivation in South Gloucestershire. Some communities suffer from low income, unemployment, social isolation, poor housing, low educational achievement, degraded environment, access to health services, or higher levels of crime than other neighbourhoods. These forms of deprivation are often linked and the relationship between them is so strong that we have identified 5 Priority Neighbourhoods which are categorised by the national Indices of Deprivation as amongst the 20% most deprived neighbourhoods in England and Wales. These are Cadbury Heath, Kingswood, Patchway, Staple Hill, and west and south Yate/Dodington.
