Parents' Bulletin Headteacher: Mr M F Jackman MA NPQH YATELEY SCHOOL Telephone: 01252 879222 Facsimile: 01252 872517 E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.yateley.hants.sch.uk School Lane, Yateley, Hampshire, GU46 6NW MFJ/BLE A PERFORMING ARTS COLLEGE 7th October 2015 Issue No. 6 Parents’ Bulletin Dear Parents Waitrose is the place to be We are delighted to announce that Yateley School is one of the 3 green token choices that Waitrose will divide their donation between, so please support us every time you do your shopping. Thank you. MP Visit Mr Jayawardena, MP for North East Hampshire, came to visit us on Friday. He could only manage a short visit but has promised to come back for longer to meet our students. He was very keen to discuss the concerns we have as a school and we discussed the following. 1) Recruitment At the Conservative Party conference, the “perfect storm” of missed recruitment targets, rising student population, improving economic prospects making teaching less attractive, coupled with decreasing numbers of graduates, did force the admission that teacher recruitment was “a challenge” from Nicky Morgan. Mr Jayawardena was interested to know my views on regional pay (why not) and bursaries for shortage subjects (not really working). 2) Fair Funding When schools in one part of the country can receive over £6,000 per student and others below £4,000 something is not right. Mr Jayawardena is extremely keen to promote a fairer funding formula and it will certainly benefit the schools in his constituency. We also discussed teacher workload, massively increased by changes to the curriculum in every key stage and changes to assessment. We are promised a period of stability, but that workload still exists and occupies much of our time. We look forward to his next visit – our Politics and Economics Sixth Form students were certainly keen to meet him and we would love to show him the excellent things we are doing. Open Morning We have hosted over 200 families at our Open Mornings for applications for 2016 and were very pleased that so many attended. I think that it is important that parents shouldn’t just believe what they hear and see on an Open Evening but check out a school in operation too. The feedback was very positive and our sixth form guides did an excellent job. For some sixth form, it was a new experience and therefore a learning opportunity but generally of benefit to all. It was a shame we couldn’t show off our new Hall and refurbished Science labs but I have now learned not to make any promises with the completion dates of building projects.

I look forward to seeing you all! Mrs Buttle YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE 11-15 JULY 2016 Following on from my presentation to the Year 10 students and parents at the information evening, I’d just like to make sure that everyone in Year 10 is aware that, if they organise a work experience placement during Trips Week (11 – 15 July 2016), they will need to complete a Private Placement Form and return it to me so that I can contact the company to complete some suitability checks. The Private Placement Form is available from my office, on the VLE under Business, Careers and Work Experience or if you email me, I can send one. Also on the VLE is an Information Booklet with lots of advice about finding a suitable placement. I am compiling a spreadsheet of companies that have offered work experience to our students and can also make that available. I’m here to help, so phone or email me. Good luck!

All staff have been issued with slips to give to students when they see them being kind to each other, picking up litter, opening doors, in general acting thoughtfully. Students then take this named slip to the House Centre and get entered into a raffle for a number of prizes at the end of term. This initiative will run for a period of time and we will revisit it in future. So far the response has been excellent – some students have even set up elaborate “falling over and helping up” routines, which adds to the humour but doesn’t get a slip. GCSE Examinations These continue until Wednesday 21st June so there is one more week to go. The response from students has been excellent. Only on Tuesday morning around 100 students turned up for the Maths exam breakfast to “wake up their Maths brain” before the final Maths exam. Our students have worked hard for their exams and our Maths colleagues too, to provide the support that will guarantee their success. There has been one disappointment – a student who had their mobile phone on them in the exam.

  • How to Get Your Child to Yateley School Students
    HOW TO GET YOUR CHILD TO YATELEY SCHOOL Free travel will be provided for Hampshire children in the following circumstances: • if they attend the nearest catchment school OR one that is nearer to your home, AND • the distance (measured by the shortest available walking route) is more than three miles, OR • Where parents name the designated catchment school as one of their 3 preferences and a place is not available, assistance may be offered to the next closest school, using the three mile distance in the previous paragraph • Children entitled to free school meals or whose parents (with whom they live) are in receipt of the maximum level of working tax credit have enhanced entitlement. If your child does not qualify for travelling expenses, you may apply for him/her to be a 'privilege' passenger on school transport. This will depend on whether there are spare seats and only applies if the vehicle is contracted by Hampshire County Council to transport children. The privilege place can be withdrawn at short notice if it is needed for a child who qualifies for free transport. There is a flat-rate charge for privilege seats which is the same for all children whatever their age, the distance travelled or the number of days used per week. If your child qualifies for free school meals due to low income, the fee may be waived. The coach runs from Hartley Wintney through Eversley to Yateley School. For further details please contact Passenger Transport on 01962 846924 or 845332 or email [email protected] .

  • Archaeology in Hampshire for 2017
    2017 Archaeology in Hampshire Annual Report INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Annual Report of Archaeology in Hampshire for 2017. Up until 2003, Hampshire County Council published an Annual Report of Archaeology in Hampshire. The first volume was published in 1977 (for the year 1976) and for over a quarter of a century it proved to be a valuable resource bringing together in summary fashion archaeological work carried out in a particular year, whether it was by a professional organization, academic insti- tution or local society. The report ensured that knowledge of such work was easily and conveniently available to all interested parties. The final report of this ‘first series’ was published in 2004 (for 2003). Following a hiatus of sev- eral years, The Hampshire Field Club (HFC) was invited to produce a new series of reports and began with a round- up of the ‘missing’ years. These can be downloaded from the Hampshire Field Club website. From 2008 the report has been published annually, and copies are available for download from the HFC website. Developments in technology have forced a re-think about the most efficient way to publish interim statements, and it was decided therefore to publish the Annual Report online as a PDF document. This provides a convenient and cost-effective solution and also offers the option of printing what is required. This report was not compiled until summer 2020, and the disruption caused by the Covid-19 epidemic affected its production. Several smaller archaeological organisations had placed their staff on furlough and could not pro- vide summaries of archaeological work.
