Dear Freedom of Information Act 2000 Thank You for Requesting Information About, Distances Coventry Pupils Live from Their Schoo abc People’s Directorate Director: Brian Walsh UNCLASSIFIED Room 37, Civic Centre 1 Coventry City Council Earl Street Coventry, CV1 5RS email: [email protected] Please contact: Darren Stacey Direct line: 024 7683 1623 Our reference: 20122243 Date: 30 January 2014 Dear Freedom of Information Act 2000 Thank you for requesting information about, distances Coventry pupils live from their school within that school’s catchment area, which the Council received on 13th January 2014. Your request has been considered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. You have requested the following information; Can you please provide me with most up to date details of the effective catchment areas of all the primary and secondary schools in your local authority area? By catchment area, I mean the greatest distance that any pupil was living from the school they were admitted to at the point of their application. To be clear, I am only interested in the catchment area for pupils admitted on geographical criteria alone, not those admitted on other grounds eg because they had siblings at the school, was in foster care or had special needs. I would prefer this information in electronic format - preferably as a machine-readable spreadsheet (.xls, .ods, etc.) I also note that as per our telephone conversation on the 16th January 2014, that as certain faith schools within Coventry do not necessarily admit pupils on a traditionally geographical catchment area basis. That information on these schools was not to be provided. Please note, under the Re-Use of Public Sector Information 2005 Regulations you are free to use this information for your own use or for the purposes of news reporting. However, any other type of re-use under the Regulations, for example; publication of the information or circulation to the public, will require permission of the copyright owner and may be subject to terms and conditions. For documents where the copyright does not belong to Coventry City Council you will need to apply separately to the copyright holder. If you wish to apply to reuse the information you have requested or have any other issues relating to this request please do not hesitate to contact me. You have a right to make representations about the outcome or handling of your request – in the first instance this must be made in writing within 40 working days of the date of this letter, to the Council's Information Governance Team at: Council House, Room 21a Lower Ground Floor Earl Street, Coventry.

  • Study of the Effects of Secondary School Admissions Policies on House Prices in One Local Area
    J. R. Statist. Soc. A (2003) 166, Part 1, pp. 135–154 Is comprehensive education really free?: a case- study of the effects of secondary school admissions policies on house prices in one local area Dennis Leech and Erick Campos University of Warwick, Coventry, UK [Received December 2001. Revised June 2002] Summary. The paper reports on a study that tests the anecdotal hypothesis that parents are willing to pay a premium to secure places for their children in popular and oversubscribed com- prehensive schools. Since many local education authorities use admissions policies that are based on catchment areas and places in popular schools are very difficult to obtain from out- side these areas—but very easy from within them—parents have an incentive to move house for the sake of their children’s education.This would be expected to be reflected in house prices. The study uses a cross-sectional sample based on two popular schools in one local education authority area, Coventry. Differences in quality of housing are dealt with by using the technique of hedonic regression and differences in location by sample selection within a block sample design. The sample was chosen from a limited number of locations spanning different catch- ment areas to reduce both observable and unobservable variability in nuisance effects while maximizing the variation in catchment areas. The results suggest that there are strong school catchment area effects. For one of the two popular schools we find a 20% premium and for the other a 16% premium on house prices ceteris paribus.

  • A Local Solution to a National Challenge Review 2011 the Story So Far…
    A local solution to a national challenge Review 2011 www.coventrycyrenians.co.uk The story so far… 1973 A single volunteer was recruited to run a night shelter to provide accommodation for up to 10 single homeless men each night. 1976 The first paid employee was recruited to manage a team of volunteers. A new night shelter was opened, providing accommodation for 26 homeless men and women. 1984 In order to provide a better standard of accommodation, the night shelter was closed and replaced with five rented properties to offer emergency, medium and long-term accommodation. 1986 Successful fundraising enabled us to purchase our first property. 1987 In order to provide higher standards of support, the provision of services was handed over to a fully paid team of seven. 1988 We employed our first qualified Women’s Worker in response to significant increases in homelessness amongst women. 1989 We employed our first qualified Youth Worker. 1990 Our first property was opened dedicated to providing emergency and short-term accommodation to single women and women with children. 1994 Increases in the level of mental ill-health amongst our users results in fundraising to employ our first qualified Mental Health Nurse. 1998 We were awarded the largest ever National Lottery social sector grant in the West Midlands. This allowed us to start providing Floating Support and Outreach services working with people in their own accommodation or living in temporary accommodation without support. 2001 Further fundraising efforts enabled us to acquire new offices in Far Gosford Street from which we also offer advice services for women.

  • Dear Parents Congratulations! I Am Delighted That You Have Been
    Headteacher: Mrs Kathryn Wright Dear Parents Congratulations! I am delighted that you have been offered a place at Whitley Academy and am writing to formally welcome you all to the school, and to Finham Park Multi Academy Trust. I know this year has been unusually challenging for everyone and looking for a secondary school for your child will have added to the pressures you faced. However, now you have been offered a place at Whitley, please be reassured you have made the right choice and we now have a joint ambition – the future success and happiness of your child. Now let me tell you a little bit more about the Trust and what exciting plans we have for the future! On 1st January 2021, Whitley Academy became part of a group of seven schools in the Trust. First, let me introduce myself to you. My name is Mark Bailie, Executive Headteacher at Finham Park Multi Academy Trust. I have previously been the Headteacher at two large secondary schools – one near Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, and the other in Coventry at Finham Park School (2009‐2017). I have worked in education for 30 years; have supported the improvement and removal of three schools from Ofsted Special Measures; am a National Leader of Education (NLE); and a serving Ofsted Inspector. Outside work I enjoy time with my family, have a passion for anything automotive (especially Jaguar, Alfa Romeo and Lambretta!) and love live music. I look forward to meeting many of you over the next few years… Finham Park Multi Academy Trust was formed in 2015 and now supports the work of four secondary schools (Finham Park, Lyng Hall, Finham Park 2, Whitley Academy) and three primary schools (Finham Primary, Pearl Hyde Primary, Lillington Primary).
