Home to School Bus Service Letter to Parents VADO Protect Care and Invest to create a better borough www.telford.gov.uk TelfordWrekin @TelfordWrekin August 2020 Dear Parent/Guardian, Proposed Home to School Bus Operations from September 2020 Further to our previous letter regarding home to school transport from September 2020, we are advising you of changes to the service to ensure your child has a safe return to school for the start of the autumn term. We have been working with Arriva our main public transport provider to increase capacity on their busier home to school bus routes. As part of our plans for pupils’ safe return to education, they will be introducing school services that are not available to the general public. These services will be identified on the bus and on the Arriva App with an “S” prefix and signage indicating these buses are for use only by pupils travelling to and from school. Some of the routes will see two buses travelling the same route with one dedicated for school only (with the prefix ‘S’) which will be immediately followed by a service for the general public. Home to school transport (services with a prefix ‘S’) will operate the same social distancing rules as outlined by Government guidance, therefore we are asking any pupil using these services to follow these five important steps for safe travel: • Keep a safe social distance while waiting for transport; STAY SAFE • Pupils over the age of 11 should wear a face covering; children with Special Be kind Educational Needs and or Disabilities will not be required to wear a face covering, however it is recommended where possible; • Sanitise hands before getting on and off the vehicle; • Dispose of litter responsibly; • If possible, use the same seat for each journey. We will continue to work with Arriva to monitor capacity during September and make changes where necessary. Details of the routes and times that will serve your child’s school are overleaf. Finally, we thank you for all your support and co-operation during this challenging time. You can be assured that we will continue to follow national guidance to make school transport as safe as possible from September 2020. Yours faithfully, Heather Loveridge Dean Sargeant Director: Education & Skills Director: Neighbourhood & Enforcement Services Public Transport Routes and Timetable Charlton School Morning S16 07:40 Wellington 07:47 Rodington S16 07:47 Rodington 07:59 High Ercall 08:12 Shawbirch 08:24 Charlton School Afternoon S16 15:20 Charlton School 15:30 Wellington 15:49 Rodington S16 15:49 Rodington 16:03 High Ercall 16:15 Admaston 16:20 Wellington Madeley Academy, Haberdashers’ Abraham Darby Morning S1 07:00 Town Centre 07:30 Sutton Hill 07:36 Abraham Darby 07:38 Madeley Academy S2 07:35 Town Centre 07:52 Aqueduct 07:55 Madeley Academy 07:58 Abraham Darby Afternoon S1 15:10 Abraham Darby 15:13 Madeley Academy 15:16 Aqueduct 15:35 Town Centre S2 15:20 Madeley Academy 15:23 Abraham Darby 15:38 Sutton Hill 16:05 Town Centre Burton Borough, Newport Girls High, Adams Grammar Morning S5 07:25 Town Centre 07:46 Donnington 07:57 Lilleshall 08:10 Newport S521 07:35 Shrewsbury 08:00 High Ercall 08:15 Edgmond 08:30 Newport Girls High School S5 08:03 Gnosall Richmond Park 08:22 Newport S5 08:13 Gnosall Richmond Park 08:32 Newport Afternoon S5 15:32 Newport 15:42 Lilleshall 15:55 Donnington 16:17 Town Centre S521 15:57 Newport Girls High School 16:12 Edgmond 16:27 High Ercall 16:57 Shrewsbury S5 16:02 Newport 16:12 Lilleshall 16:25 Donnington 16:47 Town Centre S5 16:05 Newport 16:20 Gnosall Richmond Park Telford College Morning S7A 07:50 Newport 07:57 Lilleshall 08:28 Hadley 08:43 Wellington SX4 08:23 Town Centre 08:40 Wellington SX4 08:35 Town Centre 08:52 Wellington SX4 08:59 Town Centre 09:16 Wellington Afternoon SX4 15:30 Wellington 15:47 Town Centre SX4 15:42 Wellington 15:59 Town Centre SX4 15:54 Wellington 16:11 Town Centre SX4 16:06 Wellington 16:23 Town Centre SX4 16:18 Wellington 16:35 Town Centre S7A 16:25 Wellington 16:35 Hadley 17:02 Lilleshall 17:11 Newport SX4 16:42 Wellington 16:59 Town Centre SX4 16:54 Wellington 17:11 Town Centre Shrewsbury College Morning SX5 08:10 Telford 8:30 Shrewsbury College Afternoon SX5 14:55 Shrewsbury College 15:15 Telford SX4 16:10 Shrewsbury College 16:30 Telford.

You can also view the results from the past years to see the trends and how well the Academy does. The School is immensely proud of its KS5 results. The Sixth Form has had a small cohort for several years and so truly every student, and every examination paper, counts. The fact that Holy Trinity Academy achieved a positive Progress Score over the past 3 years means that on average our stu- dents do better than expected.

    Thomas Telford School Governors’ Report To Parents November 2018 To All Parents of Students This is the twenty-eighth Annual Governors’ Report to Parents. There is no longer a statutory requirement for Governors to meet formally with parents and, as the meeting has not attracted many parents in the past, no such meeting is planned to be held again this year. However, if you have any queries or concerns please send these in writing to the Headmaster or to the Chairman of Governors and they will be dealt with appropriately. M Davies Clerk to the Governing Board 1 Chairman's Introduction This is my sixth Governors’ Annual Report to Parents as Chairman of the Board of Governors. This Report provides you with details of the students’ achievements during the last year and I am delighted to inform you that the School has enjoyed yet another successful year with tremendous GCSE results being achieved and also excellent results at A Level. Whilst there is no legal obligation for Governors to provide this Annual Report, the Board understands the importance of making this information available about the School. In this twenty-eighth Report, I am pleased to highlight a summary of the examination results which are shown in more detail later on in the report. This year, 95% of the students in Key Stage 4 achieved 5 or more GCSEs at A* - C / 9-4 including Mathematics and English. 97% of the cohort achieved 9-4 in either English Language or Literature. 95% of students also achieved a grade 4 or above in both English and Mathematics.

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.

  • NEWPORT NEWS a Weekly Update from NGHS
    NEWPORT NEWS A weekly update from NGHS Volume 2 - Issue 31 - Friday 5 July 2019 Head’s Lines ast Saturday saw the most wonderful celebration of the last one hundred L years of Newport Girls’ High School. The event was well attended with over 400 programmes distributed at the door and visitors were assured of a warm welcome by staff and students alike. My colleagues pulled out all the stops to plan activities, many relating to life in education, technology, fashion and the arts over the past century and our students were, as always, perfect ambassadors for our school. Groups of students and staff who left in recent years were joined by a couple of ladies who had been at the school in the 1930s. It was an absolute joy and pleasure to meet them, to hear their stories of life at the school in the 30s and 40s and, of course, how much things have changed. I would like to thank the PTA for running a very busy Vintage Tea Room and the Newport Mr Scott with Mrs B Ashton and Mrs J Roberts who attended Advertiser, Shropshire Star, BBC Radio Shropshire and the NGHS in the 1960s with Charlotte (Year 8) Newport History Society, Staffordshire Archives and so many more organisations who helped us prepare our University College London.
