The purpose of this charter is to describe shared expectations across all Slough schools for working together with parents, carers and families. Vision We want every child in Slough to share values that contribute to a successful community. A successful child in Slough will become: • confident • creative • curious • resilient • able to handle challenge In order to promote successful learning for all Slough children, schools will work in partnership with parents, carers and families in a proactive way that values parental contributions and is mindful of the individual needs of families due to differing life circumstances. Shared expectations of a successful learner Together we have identified a number of key expectations that we believe help children to succeed in learning. All schools in Slough share these expectations and they underpin our work with children and their families. A successful learner benefits from: • open, two-way communications between school and home • parents/carers and the school working in partnership to meet their individual needs • parents/carers who have high aspirations for them • full attendance and being punctual • parents/carers who are interested and involved in their child’s learning journey • parents/carers who support school expectations e.g. behaviour, homework, uniform • the chance to take part in a range of school and extra-curricular activities 2 Apply online at www.slough.gov.uk/admissions Contents Page 15 Secondary transfer timetable 4 Childcare in Slough 15 What if I change my mind about my choice of school after 31 October 2015? 4 Cost of Childcare 15 Will my child go on a waiting list if they are not 4 Funded Early Learning for 2,3 and 4 year olds offered a place? 4 Where are funded Early Learning places 15 Grammar Schools available? 16 The Langley Academy 4 What hours are available for 2, 3 and 4 year olds? 16 Baylis Court School 5 Who will pay for my child’s place? 17-30 Slough Secondary Schools 5 How do I choose and apply for a place for my child?

A review of existing archaeological and historical sources suggested that the Site has a low potential for containing deposits of Prehistoric to Medieval date, and a high potential for containing deposits relating to a terrace of late 19th century buildings. Farming and various phases of construction in the 19th onwards is likely to have truncated to an unknown extent any archaeological deposits across much of the site. _____________________________________________________________________ i Archaeology South-East Lion House, Slough _____________________________________________________________________ CONTENTS 1.

  • Link to OPAR 2012 Newsletter
    The Old Paludians Newsletter Founded 1915 Website: www.oldpaludians.org March 2012 EDITORIAL As you all know, Slough Grammar School is this year celebrating its centenary. In 2015, The Old Paludians Association will celebrate its own centenary. During this time there have been so many changes, both globally and locally. Slough has changed completely since the 1950/60s and those changes would seem even more astonishing to anyone who attended the original Slough Secondary School in 1912. During the past 100 years not only have we suffered two terrible World Wars- as you will see reflected in some of the many news items sent in – but also Man has taken his first steps on the moon and…computers have arrived on Earth. Every pupil has access to the latest technology and even Luddites, such as your Editor, find themselves making frequent references to dongles, dingbats and the latest Blu-ray technology (my apologies to those of you who have never travelled this path, but be reassured - you may be better off as it can be infuriating when it fails !). All this has made almost everything accessible to almost everybody, which may or may not be an advantage. We shall see! We are simply left wondering what the next 100 years will bring. Will it still be considered polite to thank someone for help received? I sincerely hope so! With that in mind, I should like to thank Mrs Mercedes Hernández Estrada for allowing us to once again invade the building for this, our special reunion. This is my last editorial, as I am now handing the task over to Bob Moss (see details below).

  • Nicky Willis Headteacher
    6th May 2021 Dear Parents/ Carers Re: Process for admission to secondary school in September 2022 As schools are closed to parents for face to face meetings due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not be able to hold a meeting about secondary school applications for children entering Year 7 in September 2022 (currently in Year 5). This letter and attached information contains the main details of what you need to know, in particular if you intend to enter your child to sit the 11+ tests in September 2021. Selection process for entry to grammar schools This letter is to remind you of the 11+ testing arrangements for current Year 5 children who will be transferring to secondary school in September 2022. There have been some significant changes over the past few years so it is important to read this carefully. All children in Slough now take the test in the grammar schools and not at their primary schools. As our school is so close to Burnham Grammar School, many of our pupils enter tests for both Slough and Buckinghamshire grammar schools so we always outline the process for both authorities. Pupils who wish to be considered for a grammar school must register and take the appropriate test. Buckinghamshire Parents can enter their children for Buckinghamshire tests if they wish and will be given a venue and date to sit the tests at a school in Buckinghamshire. Registration for this test is open and the closing date for submission of the forms is Thursday 24th June 2021 @ 3:00 p.m.
