In the meantime, the Full Governing Body had its regular termly meeting in May, and would like to share some highlights with you. Academy Consultation Process We invited staff and parents to meet Dr. Patrick Hazlewood, CEO of Excalibur Academies Trust who very kindly joined us for two consultation sessions where we discussed the prospect of joining their Multi Academy Trust (MAT). Both sessions were engaging, and it was lovely to have so many questions raised. We have tried to capture some of the main themes in the attached Q&A document for those of you who were not able to make it. It was clear from the consultation stage that there was support for the proposal to join Excalibur due to the wide range of benefits. Essentially it highlighted that we would have the advantages of being in a larger organisation, while able to thrive as a small rural Church of England School. As you may know, since our consultations with staff and parents, the Government has relaxed its position in relation to pushing all schools to convert to academies.

  • RIVER KENNET Status: Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)
    COUNTY: BERKSHIRE/WILTSHIRE SITE NAME: RIVER KENNET Status: Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) notified under Section 28 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 Local Planning Authorities: Berkshire County Council, Wiltshire County Council, Newbury District Council, Kennet District COuncil National Grid Reference: SU203692 to SU572667 Ordnance Survey Sheet 1:50,000: 174 1:10,000: SU26 NW, SU27 SW, SU27 SE, SU37 SW, SU36 NW, SU36 NE, SU47 NW, SU46 NE, SU56 NW, SU56 NE Date Notified (Under 1981 Act): 1 November 1995 Date of Last Revision: Area: 112.72 ha Other information: The River Lambourn, which is a tributary of the River Kennet, is also an SSSI. There are two existing SSSIs along the River Kennet: Freemans Marsh and Chilton Foliat Meadows. The site boundary is the bank top or, where this is indistinct, the first break of slope. Description and Reasons for Notification The River Kennet has a catchment dominated by chalk with the majority of the river bed being lined by gravels. The Kennet below Newbury traverses Tertiary sands and gravels, London Clay and silt, thus showing a downstream transition from the chalk to a lowland clay river. As well as having a long history of being managed as a chalk stream predominantly for trout, the Kennet has been further modified by the construction of the Kennet and Avon Canal. In some places the canal joins with the river to form a single channel. There are also many carriers and channels formerly associated with water meadow systems. The river flows through substantial undisturbed areas of marshy grassland, wet woodland and reed beds.

    Reconnecting Froxfield Resolving problems of a village divided by a road 7. Analysis by Hamilton-Baillie Associates Content: 8. Wiltshire Council’s strategy on road design 1. Froxfield present 9. Moving Forward - Proposals 2. Froxfield past 10. Summary 3. History of Froxfield’s roads 11. Notes 4. Froxfield within the conservation area 5. A4 in relation to Froxfield 6. Parish Council analyses issues 1. Froxfield present Straddling the A4 road, Froxfield is a village which at the last census (2011) had a population of 382. This included 153 men and 229 women and covered 168 households. (i) The highest population enjoyed by Froxfield was 625 in 1841; the lowest 266 in 1971. (ii) The village extends along the very wide A4 – with narrow (often single-track) side roads leading off it towards Little Bedwyn, Great Bedwyn, Chilton Foliat and Ramsbury. There are also three smaller residential ‘no-thru’ roads. There is a thriving private nursery school (Stepping Stones) within the village boundary at the hamlet of Oakhill. There are several substantial businesses based in Froxfield – furniture retailer OKA has its major south west showroom on the A4, at the western end of the village; along Littlecote Road, we find BK Grain Handling Engineers, operating in Froxfield since 1981; Brendoncare offers nursing care for 44 residents and The Blanchard Collective has a 6000sq ft warehouse for 18 antique dealers. 2. Froxfield past The earliest written record of anything on the site of the parish of Froxfield was found in the year 778, where a parcel of land in the general area was called Frosca burna – or 'frog's bourn' –- but this does not necessarily mean that there was a settlement there.
