The inspectors visited 45 lessons and observed 44 teachers. They held meetings with members of the governing body, staff and students. Inspectors looked at key documents, such as the school’s plans for improvement and the minutes of meetings of the governing body, as well as 183 questionnaires returned by parents and carers. The inspection team reviewed many aspects of the school’s work. It looked in detail at a number of key areas. How successfully the school is improving students’ progress in English and mathematics by the end of Year 11. How much progress students make in the sixth form. How successfully the school is acting to improve teaching. How well the subjects of the curriculum promote literacy and numeracy skills. How far leaders at all levels contribute to the development of the school. Information about the school Writhlington is larger than average and serves a mainly White British community in a mostly rural area. The proportion of students with special educational needs and/or disabilities, including with a statement of special educational needs, is below what is found nationally. The number known to be eligible for free school meals is also below average. The school moved into new accommodation in 2010 and a new post-16 centre opened in September 2011. Writhlington is a high-performing specialist school with specialisms in business and enterprise and applied learning. A new headteacher took up his post on 1 September 2011. Inspection report: Writhlington School, 19–20 October 2011 4 of 14 Inspection grades: 1 is outstanding, 2 is good, 3 is satisfactory, and 4 is inadequate Please turn to the glossary for a description of the grades and inspection terms Inspection judgements Overall effectiveness: how good is the school? 2 The school’s capacity for sustained improvement 2 Main findings Writhlington is a good and rapidly improving school. Students’ behave well and flourish within the very caring and supportive environment created by the headteacher and the staff. Arrangements for safeguarding students are outstanding and students report that they feel very safe in the school. Most parents and carers are supportive of the school. One commented that ‘my daughter has found real motivation to do well here’, while another noted that the school ‘contributes hugely to the local community’. These positive views are representative of the very large majority of those who returned the questionnaire and supported by inspection evidence. Students make good and improving progress and achieve well by the end of Year 11. There has been a significant improvement in the progress that students make in English and mathematics. Both the school’s own data and inspection evidence indicate that this improvement is continuing. Attainment is above average and rising. The school’s success in improving teaching has made an important contribution to raising attainment. Staffing for mathematics has been strengthened and the school accords high importance to teachers’ professional development, providing time for this every week. Students’ progress monitored is very carefully and additional support and challenge have been provided where needed. The school checks the impact of the support and challenge thoroughly and makes adjustments where necessary. There have also been changes in teaching groups, for example the introduction of single-sex teaching groups, which have had a positive impact. Teaching is good overall and some is outstanding. However, sometimes, teachers provide the same tasks for all students in the class, when some need more challenge and others require more structured support. Some marking is excellent with clear guidance on how to do better, but this is not consistent. Students benefit from the good curriculum, which includes some exceptional opportunities, for example in developing their skills in information and communication technology. Although practice is good overall, the quality of provision for developing literacy and numeracy skills in the other subjects of the curriculum varies. Students in the sixth form are making good and improving progress as a result of the outstanding provision. Students make an excellent contribution to the school and the wider community. They enjoy school and their attendance is high. Students are outstandingly well prepared for their future economic well-being and benefit from a wide range of often exceptional opportunities for personal development, for example the combined cadet force and the wide range of enterprise activities provided. Inspection report: Writhlington School, 19–20 October 2011 5 of 14 Inspection grades: 1 is outstanding, 2 is good, 3 is satisfactory, and 4 is inadequate Please turn to the glossary for a description of the grades and inspection terms The new headteacher has quickly gained a clear view of the school’s strengths and areas for development, supported by the strong senior team and effective governing body, and by rigorous and broadly accurate self-evaluation. He has successfully engaged staff and students and this has contributed to a widely shared commitment to continuous improvement. The specialist status is making a positive contribution to the school’s development and to community links and partnerships are outstanding. Challenging targets are used well to raise standards by the end of Year 11 and the school has some highly effective middle leaders. Consequently, the capacity for sustained improvement is good. What does the school need to do to improve further? Continue to improve the quality of teaching and learning by: − securing the consistent use of approaches that meet students’ varying learning needs well − improving teachers’ skills in checking progress during lessons and in providing clear guidance on how to do better in their marking − sharing the best practice within the school. Provide consistently good opportunities for students to develop their literacy and numeracy skills in the other subjects of the curriculum. Outcomes for individuals and groups of pupils 2 Students get on well with each other and with the staff. They behave and work well in lessons, both individually and in small groups. Students respond particularly well when teachers use their very good understanding of students’ levels of attainment to ensure that activities meet needs very well. For example, in a Year 9 physical education lesson, students made excellent progress when the teacher targeted support precisely and maintained an excellent balance of modelling what was required and enabling students to participate fully. Also, students rise to the challenge of applying new skills. For example, in a Year 7 modern foreign languages lesson students were engaged fully by a series of brisk, interactive activities. They respond very well also to a variety of different styles of learning. In a Year 11 mathematics lesson on Pythagoras, different types of activity, combined with highly effective questioning from the teacher, resulted in a deep and purposeful discussion of what they were learning. The achievement of all groups of students, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, is currently good and improving quickly. Students enjoy school and are polite, care for each other and listen to adults and their peers with respect. They have a good understanding of the importance of diet and exercise in a healthy lifestyle.

    Xiphosurans from the Westphalian D of the Radstock Basin, Somerset Coalfield, the South Wales Coalfield and Mazon Creek, Illinois Lyall I. Anderson ANDERSON, L. I. 1994. Xiphosurans from the Westphalian D of the Radstock Basin, Somerset Coalfield, the South Wales Coalfield and Mazon Creek, Illinois. Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 105, 265-275. Euproops kilmersdonensis Ambrose & Romano, 1972 is proposed as a synonym of Euproops danae (Meek & Worthen, 1865) from Mazon Creek, Illinois. Five other species attributed to Euproops Meek, 1867 and one species attributed to Prestwichianella nitida Dix & Pringle, 1929, from the Westphalian D of the South Wales Coalfield, described by Dix & Pringle (1929, 1930) are also synonymized with E. danae. In addition, six species described by Raymond (1944) from Mazon Creek are synonymized with E. danae. The taphonomic processes acting upon xiphosuran body fossils produce spurious morphological differences between speci­ mens, which have been used in the past to define species. It is concluded that species diversity within the Carboniferous Xiphosura was low, contrary to previous reports (Fisher, 1984). The mode of life of E. danae is re-evaluated in the light of trace fossils recently described by Pollard & Hardy (1991) from Writhlington Geological Nature Reserve, and from palaeophysiological considerations. Department of Geology, University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PL. 1. INTRODUCTION would have served previous workers well had they taken Xiphosuran body fossils collected from the mine tip of this into consideration. However, there is another factor the Kilmersdon Colliery near Radstock, Somerset by which could potentially cause distortion of a fossil: students of the Department of Geology, University of dorso-ventral compressional approximation, and it was Sheffield were described as Euproops kilmersdonensis recognition of this that prompted re-examination of Ambrose & Romano, 1972.

    Natural England Technical Information Note TIN119 Managing geological specimen collecting: Writhlington case study This case study has been written to help explain the guidance provided in TIN111. It illustrates the management of geological specimen collecting of fossil collecting from mine dumps. Writhlington Geological Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest is located to the east of Radstock in Bath & North East Somerset and forms part of a disused colliery tip. A controlled collecting approach has been adopted. Background The Coal Measures mudstones within the mining waste contain a diverse Carboniferous Westphalian D age fossil assemblage and around 3,000 tons of material was set aside as the Writhlington Geological Nature Reserve. In addition to over 100 species of plant fossils, Writhlington has yielded the largest known collection of Carboniferous arthropods, especially insects, in Britain including cockroaches, giant millipedes and spiders (Austen, 2001).

New Police Recruits in Peasedown St John You may have noticed our new Police recruits in the village! “Mini Police” is a fun interactive volunteering opportunity for children aged 9-11 years. This nationally recognised program was piloted last year within Avon and Somerset Police. It’s a fun and engaging scheme that aims to enable children and young people to have a confident voice and some enjoyable experiences associated with policing. PCSO Tony McIntosh and I started the scheme at Peasedown St John Primary School at the beginning of the year. Year 5 pupils applied and were interviewed and 20 children were selected to take part. The children were supplied with a uniform and meet up with myself and Tony weekly, accompanied by teaching staff. They take part in activities including first aid, fire & water safety, problem solving and engaging with the community. The children named one project “Operation Thunderbolt”. It was a speed awareness event which took place in May on Bath Road, Peasedown St John. The Mini Police carried out speed checks and gave advice to drivers who exceed the 20 MPH Carrying out speed checks for speed limit past their school. “Operation Thunderbolt” on Bath Road PCSO Louise Jones Parish Council “Gold Sponsor” of Party in the Park Despite a very windy start, we were pleased to see plenty of local residents at this year’s Party in the Park.

  • Changes to Bus Service 179 from 28 October 2018
    CHANGES TO BUS SERVICE 179 FROM 28 OCTOBER 2018 First have decided that bus service 179 is no longer viable as a commercial operation. The Sunday service already receives financial support from Bath & North East Somerset Council. The Council has negotiated with First to transfer the funding allocated to support the Sunday service to subsidise a basic two-hourly service on Mondays to Fridays between Midsomer Norton (Tesco) and Bath via Paulton (Ham Lane), High Littleton, Farmborough, Timsbury and Tunley. First will continue to operate the revised service on Mondays to Fridays. The Council invited tenders from bus operators for provision of an all-day replacement service on Saturdays but the lowest price offered was unaffordable. Local bus operators are finding it difficult to get drivers who are willing to work on Saturdays at the moment. So the Saturday service will be reduced to a morning bus from Timsbury at 0745 to Bath, and a return trip at 1740 from Bath as far as Timsbury. The Council will provide financial support and it will be operated by CT Coaches, who will accept valid First season tickets and m-tickets on these Saturday buses. During the daytime on Saturdays, travel between Bath and Timsbury, Farmborough and High Littleton will be possible by travelling on service 178 to Keynsham or Radstock and changing to other services. A journey planner is available at www.travelinesw.com . Regrettably, the Sunday service on 179 will operate for the last time on 21 October and the rest of the Saturday service will operate for the last time on 27 October.
