A Message from Huw Money Matters It Should Come As No Surprise to Anyone Reading This If I Say That We, As a Benefice, Are in a Financial Mess
A message from Huw Money Matters It should come as no surprise to anyone reading this if I say that we, as a Benefice, are in a financial mess. Last year, for St Mary’s and St Martin’s, our Income was £84,000 but our Expenditure was £100,000. St Peter’s was in a slightly better position - £68,000 and £74,000 – but there is no room for complacency there either. In fact one outside analyst recently concluded that, if we sat back and did nothing, the Benefice could be bankrupt by 2020. The good news is that no one has any intention of letting that happen. Back in March all three churches ran a Stewardship Campaign, where many people responded generously, either through one off gifts or by increasing their weekly giving. Each church has been holding fundraising events, such as the collection of old clothes back in the spring. St Mary’s recently held a Family Fun Day which was a great success. All sorts of people came along and gave liberally of their money and their hard work, so that just over £1,400 was raised.. In October St Peter’s will be hosting Arts Week, in December St Mary’s will hold its annual Christmas Concert, and St Martin’s are planning a sponsored Hymnathon for next year. People keep coming up with ideas, large and small, of things to do to help and there is an enormous determination to turn this problem around. However, we all need to play our part. If every member on the Electoral Roll increased their giving by £5 a week we would soon be back in surplus – and how many of us spend that amount on treats for ourselves every week? However, God wants our vision to be bigger than the church alone. -
10Th February 2016 Dear Parents the Time Between January and the Spring Half Term Break Seems to Have Flown By, and Much As I Kn
10 th February 2016 Dear Parents The time between January and the spring half term break seems to have flown by, and much as I know we should not wish our time away, I am sure that I am not the only person to welcome the signs that winter is on the wane. Whilst it has been short, the first half of term has certainly been very full. It began with year 11 mock examinations, and has featured parents’ evenings for students in year 13, 12,10 and 7, our Dance Show, the visit from our Spanish and French exchange partners and a year 12 and 13 residential visit to Poland, which departed yesterday morning. The pages that follow contain highlights of these events and news of a range of other activities; I hope you enjoy reading about the things that have been keeping us all so busy. This term’s assembly theme is Leadership and so far we have enjoyed the reflections of staff and students on this fascinating subject. The message for everyone is that leadership is not merely about status, wealth or influence. We have encouraged young people to think about leadership in terms of being the simple power we possess to influence the lives of others in extraordinarily simple ways. Next half term’s Lent projects will be an excellent opportunity to do just that and we look forward to seeing students enter into the spirit of this Ranelagh tradition. DDDEPARTMENTDEPARTMENT NEWS Biology Animal roadshow visit: January 27 th 2017 Students in year 7 enjoyed seeing a range of invertebrates and vertebrates at close quarters, including a scorpion called Spike that glowed a fluorescent blue colour under an ultraviolet light, a tarantula called Big Mama, a python called Mia, a tree frog, a giant millipede whose feet felt like being stroked with a tooth brush, a giant continental rabbit called Peter and a 17-year-old tortoise called Austin. -
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. -

A Message from Huw the Three Cs It Used to Be Said That the Heart of Education Was the Three Rs: Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic
A message from Huw The Three Cs It used to be said that the heart of education was the Three Rs: Reading, wRiting, and aRithmetic. Hmmm – maybe Spelling should have been included there somewhere. However our new Bishop of Oxford, Stephen Croft, has suggested that all our churches should demonstrate the Three Cs by being Contemplative, Compassionate and Courageous. Contemplative. One of our primary duties as Christians is to be listening to God; not simply pursuing our own good ideas but taking the time to find out what he wants us to be doing. In broad terms Jesus showed us the way, when he repeated that the entire Law can be boiled down to love God with everything you’ve got, and love your neighbour as you love yourself. So caring for others is doing the will of God, as is being patient with folk when they irritate us, or going out of our way to lend a helping hand. Yet, if we listen, we may hear God calling us in other ways too. How much time do we spend listening? Is the Two Minutes’ Silence at Remembrance the only time in the year when we do not fill our lives with noise? Compassionate. As well as looking up to God, we are called to look out to the world around. Even in this country there are great inequalities – what are we doing to help those in need? As we look further afield those needs grow even deeper – are we so overwhelmed by “compassion fatigue” that we tune out those bits of the news? And what about the person next to us, who may be struggling with a hidden burden? Of course, none of us can meet the needs of the entire world, and we would burn out uselessly if we tried. -
