    Cabinet 18 March 2021 Change of Status of Dunchurch Infant School Recommendation That Cabinet approves that Dunchurch Infant School, a Foundation school, be closed and simultaneously replaced by a new Voluntary Aided school (with no change to pupils, staff or buildings). 1. Executive Summary 1.1 Dunchurch Infant School is currently a Foundation School, federated with Dunchurch Boughton Junior School, which is a Voluntary Aided (Church of England) School supported by the Diocese of Coventry. 1.2 The Governors of the Federation and the Diocese of Coventry have decided, following a public consultation, that the Infant school would benefit from becoming a Voluntary Aided (Church of England) School to align with the Junior school. 1.3 The change of status will require the closure of Dunchurch Infant School as a Foundation School, which is proposed by the Governing Body. The simultaneous opening of Dunchurch Infant School as a Voluntary Aided School is proposed by the Diocese of Coventry. The decision maker for both proposals is Warwickshire County Council, as the Local Authority. 1.4 A public consultation was run by the Governing Body of the Dunchurch Schools’ Federation, between 14th December and midday on 29th January 2021.

  • Memories of Bidford, 1950 Onwards. by Bob Marshall
    Memories Of Bidford, 1950 onwards. By Bob Marshall My Earliest days I was born on Thursday, May 25, 1950 May at 7 Steppes Piece, Bidford on Avon. As I was told later, it rained all of that day. My parents were Walter and Doris Marshall. My father was a ganger on the railway and he worked between Broome Junction and Harvington, and Broome Junction and Alcester. My mother was a housewife and I had two older sisters, Doreen and Muriel. My grandparents, William and Agnes Marshall lived at house called Copernic in Victoria Road. My grandfather had been a regular soldier in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. He had fought in the Boer war and the first world war, reaching the rank of company Sergeant Major. After the war he became publican of the Kings Arms in Beoley Road Redditch and then in 1932 at the Golden Cross, at Ardens Grafton. My grandmother had worked Masons Arms in the high Street, Bidford. My mother's parents were Albert and Florence Reeves and they lived in Victorian cottages at the bottom of Alcester Road now called Waterloo Road.
