  • Admission to Year 7 Or Year 9 2021 a Guide for Parents and Carers
    Admission to Year 7 or Year 9 2021 A Guide for Parents and Carers This guide contains information to help you apply for a school place in Year 7 or Year 9 (secondary schools, studio schools and schools with an additional point of entry at Year 7 or Year 9) You can also visit our website: bcpcouncil.gov.uk/schooladmissions Introduction Introduction Welcome to our guidebook for parents and carers which has been designed to help you find the right school for your child whether your child is starting at a Secondary or Studio school, or moving school during the 2021-22 school year. It outlines what information we need from you, and what you can expect in return from us. Across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole we have 96 schools. The Council works in close partnership with them. The aspirations for our area are ambitious and include investing in our children and young people and enabling access to high quality education. We understand that moving up to Secondary or Studio school is an exciting experience for both children and parents. However, this transition can also be a challenging time for all as decisions are made about which schools to apply for - with this process then followed by the inevitable and anxious wait to see if the application has been successful. Similar to other areas, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council has experienced increased demand for school places due to rising birth rates and movement of families. We have adopted an overall strategy for the provision of school places which includes looking at options for additional capacity at existing schools and new school provision.

  • May 2016 Dear Parents/Carers and Students, Highcliffe School Is
    Headteacher Mr P Earnshaw BA (Hons), MA [email protected] Tel: 01425 273381 www.highcliffeschool.com Fax: 01425 271405 May 2016 Dear Parents/Carers and Students, Highcliffe School is currently undertaking a review of its policy regarding mobile phones. At present, students in years 7-11 are allowed to bring their phones in to school under the following conditions: Mobile phones to be kept switched off and placed in a bag or locker except at break and lunchtime. Students should not be seen using, or in possession of, a mobile phone when moving between lessons. Mobile phones are not to be used in lessons, as they are all meant to be switched off and in a bag or locker. Students are not to use their phones to film themselves or each other. The only photographs allowed to be taken are those in an educational context with a teacher’s permission. Students are not to misuse social media on their phone from school or about school. Students are not to phone or message their parents and parents are not to phone or message their children during the hours 8.30am to 3.05pm – if messages need to be passed on, the school can do this for you. All mobile phones are brought into school at the student’s own risk. Not all schools have such a generous policy regarding mobile phones and there are clear educational arguments for them not to be used in schools. Indeed, a recent study carried out by the LSE Centre of Economic Performance (CEP paper 1350, May 2015) concluded that after schools banned mobile phones, the test scores of students aged 16 improved by 6.4%, which was said to be the equivalent of 5 extra days of school a year.
