    Admissions Policy 2021-22 (September 2021 entry) Author: Mr R Newman Responsible Committee: Full Governing Body Ambition · Pride · Success Haileybury Turnford School Admission Arrangements for 2021-22 The school will have a published admission number of 182 Section 324 of the Education Act 1996 requires the governing bodies of all maintained schools to admit a child with an Education Health & Care Plan (EHCP) that names the school. If there are fewer applications than places available, all applicants will be offered a place. If there are more applications than places available, the criteria outlined below will be used to allocate applications. Rule 1 Looked After Children Children looked after and children who were previously looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child’s arrangements order or a special guardianship order). Rule 2 Medical or Social Children for whom it can be demonstrated that they have a particular medical or social need to go to the school, which includes children previously abroad who were cared for by the state because he or she would not otherwise have been cared for adequately and subsequently adopted. A panel of HCC officers will determine whether the evidence provided is sufficiently compelling to meet the requirements for this rule. The evidence must relate specifically to the school applied for under Rule 2 and must clearly demonstrate why it is the only school that can meet the child’s needs. Rule 3 Sibling Children who have a sibling at the school at the time of application, unless the sibling is in the last year of the normal age-range of the school.

  • The Ice Age in North Hertfordshire
    The Ice Age in North Hertfordshire What do we mean by ‘the Ice Age’? Thinking about ‘the Ice Age’ brings up images of tundra, mammoths, Neanderthals and great sheets of ice across the landscape. This simple picture is wrong in many ways. Firstly, there have been many different ‘Ice Ages’ in the history of the earth. The most dramatic happened between 2.4 and 2.1 billion years ago, known as the Huronian Glaciation. About the same time, earth’s atmosphere suddenly became rich in oxygen, and some scientists believe that the atmospheric changes reduced the temperature so much that the whole planet became covered in ice. 1: an Arctic ice sheet (© Youino Joe, USFWS, used under a Creative Commons licence) Another global cover of ice happened 650 million years ago when the first multi-celled animals were evolving. Geologists sometimes refer to this period as the ‘Snowball Earth’ and biologists know it as the Proterozoic. Temperatures were so low that the equator was as cold as present-day Antarctica. They began to rise again as concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose to about 13%, 350 times greater than today. Some carbon dioxide came from volcanic eruptions, but some was excreted by microbial life, which was beginning to diversify and increase in numbers. Neither of these Ice Ages is the one that dominates the popular imagination. Both happened many millions of years before life moved on to land. There were no humans, no mammals, no dinosaurs: none of the creatures familiar from The Flintstones. The period most people think about as the ‘real’ Ice Age is the geologists’ Pleistocene era, from more than two-and-a-half million years ago to the beginning of the Holocene, almost 12,000 years ago.

  • Issue 9 Community Magazine for Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham
    Issue 9 Community magazine for Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham Delivered free to all households in Furneux Pelham & Stocking Pelham WELCOME TO THE NINTH EDITION Welcome all to the ninth edition of ‘The Pelhams’ and in particular to our latest local advertisers, Andrew Banks and Simon Langsdale. Please check out their ads. This month, several of our reports happily suggest a tentative step forward after the 2020 lockdown. While neither village hall is able to open to individual hirers yet, both are actively planning for the future, with a refurbishment at Stocking Pelham and the imminent installation of wi-fi in Furneux Pelham. Our local school and pre-school are planning for a very different world when September comes. Both our churches too are gradually re-opening. Thank you to all those concerned who are steering these establishments through the minefield of ever-changing government guidance. Please keep your articles coming – we’d love to showcase the achievements, talents and interests of people of all ages. As ever, keep safe. Contributions to: [email protected] Cover photo The cover shows a sketch of the Hall in Furneux Pelham, signed by the renowned Arts and Crafts artist and etcher Frederick Landseer Griggs. In 1900, he had been commissioned by Macmillan and Company to illustrate the Hertfordshire edition of a new series of county guides. This sketch must have been created at some time between 1900 and 1913, (when the ‘Highways and Byways of Hertfordshire’ was published.) He used his motorcycle to travel between locations, often making two or more drawings in one day.

GP practices in this area are currently open between 8am and 6.30pm Monday to Friday, with some practices open for longer hours on one or two weekdays and some Saturday mornings. These are called “extended hours appointments”. The new proposal is to offer extended hours appointments every weekday evening and at weekends/early mornings depending on local demand by October 2018. These appointments will be offered from a central surgery hub, which is different to the surgery that you are registered with. The service will be run by Generating Healthcare Ltd which is a collaboration of all GPs in the area. Everyone registered with a GP practice in the area is asked to give their opinion on these proposals. Giving your views To ensure best use of NHS resources patients are asked to complete the survey online at: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/ULVExAccess Alternatively patients who do not have access or are unable to complete the online survey, a paper version of the questionnaire is attached.
