This includes most hospital care and community and mental The CCG will be using a variety of ways to listen to patients and health services – but patients will have a big say in how this is the public and is introducing a website. It will also be holding done. To make this possible, local GPs from the Borough’s 14 regular meetings and forums and distributing surveys to gauge practices and other health care professionals have set up the opinions and collect ideas for improving health services.

The £3.8 million scheme provides 26 purpose- built rented apartments. The unique design has apartments for independent living clustered around two central courtyards. Communal facilities include a lounge, kitchen and dining area and activity/ hobby rooms. Beeches Manor has 24-hour care and support.

Fosters Update After four months of consultation, and several meetings with relatives and staff, we’ve taken the difficult decision to close Fosters Residential Care Home in Woodley. Staff play a vital role in Fosters and the care they provide is greatly valued and held in the highest esteem by residents, their families and the local community. However the building is no longer fit for purpose – bedrooms do not meet minimum requirements for room size, there is limited wheelchair access and no en-suite facilities. We know this decision was hard for residents and their families and we gave it much consideration.

  • Oakbank Author: Department for Education (Dfe)
    Title: Oakbank Author: Department for Education (DfE) Impact Assessment – Section 9 Academies Act Duty 1. Section 9 of the Academies Act 2010 places a duty upon the Secretary of State to take into account what the impact of establishing the additional school would be likely to be on maintained schools, Academies and institutions within the further education sector in the area in which the additional school is (or is proposed to be) situated. 2. Any adverse impact will need to be balanced against the benefits of establishing the new school. Background 3. Oakbank is an 11-16 school for 560 pupils, due to open in September 2012 with 84 pupils in Year 7. It was proposed by existing Academy sponsor CfBT in partnership with a parent group known locally as WoW (standing for west of Wokingham). The group feel that those living in the rural villages to the West of Wokingham are disadvantaged in securing a school place for their children as a result of the admissions arrangements for other schools in Wokingham which prioritise children living closest to schools. They feel that this means that they get “what’s left”, and have to travel long distances past their closest school. It was envisaged that establishing Oakbank would provide a school closer to home to which these children would be admitted. 4. Oakbank will be situated on the site of the old Ryeish Green School in Wokingham Borough. It is, however, closer to Reading than it is to the town of Wokingham, although the M4 separates the school from the south of Reading.

    Earley Newsletter SEPT 2007 Environmental Issue 9 Group www.earleyenvironmentalgroup.co.uk Earley - Old English ‘Earnley’ = eagle wood is for Autumn, a time of fruitfulness, and also for Apple’. ‘An apple a day’ is understood to be good for us, but which one? There are said to be 2000 varieties of apple in Britain, but we now ‘A have a very limited choice. Much of our traditional landscape has disappeared through change, including orchards, and in the last thirty years we have lost half our pear orchards and over 60% of our apple orchards. Various factors have largely influenced what varieties we may buy. One is that supermarkets demand of their suppliers cosmetically-perfect, similar-sized fruit, which often travels hundreds of miles; the pleasure of buying locally-grown, admittedly irregular sized, fruit in a brown paper bag from a corner green-grocer shop has all but gone. European agricultural regulations have been less than friendly to our orchards. For hundreds of years our traditional orchards have been biodiversity sanctuaries not only for wildlife but also for varieties of fruit, and we should mourn their passing. The group called Common Ground, worried at the loss of orchards and apple varieties, first held an Apple Day on October 21 in 1990.

  • The Piggott School, Wokingham
    Determination Case reference: ADA3691 Objector: A parent Admission authority: The academy trust for The Piggott School, Wokingham Date of decision: 11 August 2020 Determination In accordance with section 88H(4) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, I uphold the objection to the admission arrangements for September 2021 determined by the academy trust for The Piggott School, Wokingham. By virtue of section 88K(2), the adjudicator’s decision is binding on the admission authority. The School Admissions Code requires the admission authority to revise its admission arrangements within two months of the date of the determination unless an alternative timescale is specified by the adjudicator. In this case I determine that the arrangements must be revised by 28 February 2021. The referral 1. Under section 88H(2) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, (the Act), an objection has been referred to the adjudicator by a parent (the objector), about the admission arrangements (the arrangements) for The Piggott School (the school), an academy school in Wargrave with a Church of England religious character for boys and girls aged 4 to 18, for September 2021. The objection is to the way in which priority for places is established when the school is oversubscribed from within its catchment area. 2. The local authority (LA) for the area in which the school is located is the Wokingham Borough Council. The LA is a party to this objection. Other parties to the objection are the academy trust for the school, the Diocese of Oxford (the diocese), which is the religious authority for the school, and the objector.
