They also noted that the quality of teaching and learning has substantially improved, meaning that pupils now achieve well across the school. This is because teachers have high expectations of the children, they have good subject knowledge and children are enthused by the level of challenge in their lessons. “Improvements in the curriculum mean pupils are more interested in writing than previously”. “Mathematics is taught well and pupils' progress in the subject shows good improvement.” “Throughout the school, pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities make good progress because they benefit from effective support.” “Pupils behave well because that is what is expected of them at all times. There is a shared understanding that the school community is caring and respectful to all.” “Pupils enjoy school and want to do well”. Head teacher, Christabelle Whiteley-Tye, is delighted with the outcome: “This is the culmination of a lot of hard work, commitment and dedication by staff, governors, parents and not least the children, to ensure that we always aim high and we all strive to be the best that we can be. This is an important milestone in our journey of continuing improvement and our focus will be to maintain and improve standards and opportunities even further”. “We certainly won't be standing still and we've already put in place strong plans for raising our standards further for the most able and disadvantaged pupils, setting wider challenges for our pupils within 'topic' work and to further improve the accurate use of handwriting, grammar, spelling and punctuation. I'm sure the whole school community will work with us to help us achieve these goals. “ Emma Plane, Chair of Governors, is delighted with Ofsted's report and that the school is giving the children of Hopton's community the education they deserve so they can fulfil their potential and have the best possible chance to take advantage of opportunities in the future.

Introduction 1.1 Lound and Ashby, Herringfleet & Somerleyton are adjoining parishes in the north of Suffolk. The area is rural, with much of the land being used for agriculture.

The two parishes have a combined area of around 2020 hectares, and a total population of around 780 (2011 census). 1.2 Early in 2016 the two parish councils agreed to work together to develop a joint neighbourhood plan. A steering group consisting of residents and Parish Councillors was set up to lead the work. 1.3 One of the initial pieces of work was to agree and gain acceptance from the former Waveney District Council (now East Suffolk Council) and the Broads Authority for the designated Neighbourhood Area.

  • Biodiversity Distribution
    Waveney Open Space Needs Assessment | July 2015 Biodiversity Distribution Biodiversity refers to all of the natural world and all living organisms within it including plants, animals, bacteria and micro organisms. www.waveney.gov.uk/planningpolicy 19 Waveney Open Space Needs Assessment | July 2015 | Biodiversity Distribution www.waveney.gov.uk/planningpolicy 20 Waveney Open Space Needs Assessment | July 2015 | Biodiversity Distribution What is biodiversity? Biodiversity refers to all of the natural world and all living organisms within it, including plants, animals, bacteria and micro organisms. The convention on biodiversity defines it as: “The variability among living organisms from all sources including terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems, and the ecological complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems” (Source: Natural England website). Introduction to the biodiversity distribution assessment Waveney District has a wide range of wildlife and habitats, including coastline, parkland, arable fields, rivers, hedges and woodlands. Many of these are extremely valuable in their own right and require protection and enhancement. These sites often also form part of a wider network of sites and wildlife corridors that increase the range of habitats that can support local wildlife. Networks of biologically valuable sites often have greater value than each of the sites individually. For this reason Waveney District Council wants to map ecological sites and networks to better understand how they can function alongside other types of green infrastructure. The Waveney District Council Biodiversity Audit was completed in 2007 by Suffolk Wildlife Trust. This biodiversity audit included officially designated sites, county wildlife sites and other sites that were considered to have ecological value.
