Thank you for the help you gave me and for the time you made available to discuss the actions you are taking to improve the school since the most recent section 5 inspection. The visit was the first monitoring inspection since the school was judged to require improvement following the section 5 inspection in February 2014. It was carried out under section 8 of the Education Act 2005. Senior leaders and governors are taking effective action to tackle the areas requiring improvement identified at the recent section 5 inspection. The school should take further action to: ensure that actions identified in the school’s improvement plan have specific milestones so that governors are able to monitor the school’s progress accurately and effectively ensure that monitoring activities are specified by date and type strengthen the focus on the achievement of students eligible for pupil premium (pupil premium is additional funding for those students who are known to be eligible for free school meals, students from service families and those students looked after by the local authority) ensure that information about progress made by Key Stage 3 students is shared regularly with governors.

    Cabinet 16 October 2014 6. TRANSFER OF KINGSFORD FOREST PARK TO THE NATIONAL TRUST Relevant Cabinet Mrs L Hodgson and Mr J Campion Members Relevant Officer Director of Business, Environment and Community Local Member Mr G Yarranton Recommendation 1. The Cabinet Members with Responsibility for Localism and Communities and Transformation and Change, recommend that the Cabinet: (a) approves the transfer of the freehold of Kingsford Forest Park to the National Trust; and (b) that the authority to negotiate and agree the detailed terms and conditions of the transfer is delegated to the Director of Business, Environment and Community in consultation with the Cabinet Member with Responsibility for Localism and Communities.

  • Report: Worcs Minerals Plan Consultation
    Wyre Forest Response to Worcestershire Minerals Local Plan- Fourth Stage Consultation 1 Wyre Forest District Council welcomes the fourth stage consultation on the Worcestershire Minerals Local Plan. The council recognises that the North West Worcestershire Strategic Corridor has been reduced in size by 11.1%, from 6061 ha to 5391 ha, since the Third Consultation stage in 20131. 2 The council also notes that the settlements of Blakedown, Broadwaters, Cookley, Kidderminster, Stourport–on-Severn and Wolverley have been removed from the corridor. 3 It should also be noted that a substantial part of the North West Worcestershire Corridor lies within the West Midlands Green Belt. As discussed in paragraph 4.142, mineral extraction in itself is not inappropriate in the Green Belt, providing that it preserves the Green Belt openness and does not conflict with the purposes of including land within it, which is further outlined in Policy MLP 18: Green Belt.2 4 Further to this paragraph 6.26 of the Minerals Plan notes that ‘very special circumstances may need to be demonstrated for mineral developments (in the Green Belt) or elements of them, if they are to be considered acceptable’. Indeed this was the basis that the case of R (Samuel Smith Old Brewery (Tadcaster) and Oxton Farm) v North Yorkshire County Council and Darrington Quarries Ltd was successfully appealed on3. 5 The council notes policy MLP 7 in reference to the North West Worcestershire Corridor in that planning permission will only be granted for mineral development that ‘contributes towards the quality character and distinctiveness of the corridor through the delivery and enhancement of green infrastructure networks’4.
