Hubberston Church in Wales V.C PEMBROKESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL CYNGOR SIR BENFRO Hubberston Church in Wales V.C. Nursery and Primary School School Prospectus 2016-2017 Welcome from the Acting Executive Head teacher, Mr Nicholas Dyer Welcome to Hubberston Church in Wales VC Nursery and Primary School. We hope that you find the information contained in this prospectus useful and helpful. If your child joins our school, we trust that he/she will be happy here and will make good progress. Our school staff and governors work hard to achieve this goal. We believe children learn best in a friendly, caring and positive environment where everyone is given the chance to succeed. This means having the confidence and courage to ‘have a go’ and be just as prepared to fail as to succeed, as we all learn from both outcomes. We strive towards “partnership” in the fullest sense involving staff, children, parents and governors in the educational process. By the age of eleven we hope that our pupils will be confident, self-assured and responsible young people ready to take on the challenge of their secondary school. Christian and community values are at the heart of all we do. Personal, moral, social and emotional development supports learning across the whole curriculum, as well as learning for life. We work closely with parents to ensure a coordinated and secure environment for children to learn and grow. Parents are welcome to take the opportunities through Springboard to learn alongside their child as part of this positive relationship.

  • Evidence Review of the Trophic Status of the Milford Haven Waterway
    Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the available evidence relating to the trophic status of the Milford Haven waterway and to recommend whether a case for designation as a Polluted Water (Eutrophic) should be made under the terms of the Nitrates Directive. The report reviews available data and compliance with other relevant European directives. The EC Nitrates Directive (91/676/EEC) requires that waters which are eutrophic due to nitrates derived from agricultural sources, or are at risk of becoming so unless preventative action is taken, must be identified as Polluted Waters (Eutrophic) and areas of land draining into these waters, and which contribute to their nitrogen pollution, must be designated as Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NVZs). Opportunistic macroalgae, phytoplankton and nutrient data have been reviewed in this and previous studies undertaken for the Nitrates, Urban Waste Water Treatment and Water Framework (WFD) directives. Milford Haven waterway is at Moderate status and hypernutrified compared to WFD nutrient standards. Phytoplankton blooms do not occur in the waterway, but within the sheltered bays and inlets there is widespread and often dense growth of opportunistic macroalgae species, primarily Ulva sp. Evidence from WFD monitoring in the Milford Haven Inner water body shows that dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) levels are Moderate and this is reflected in the opportunistic macroalgae classification, which also achieves Moderate status. Therefore, this transitional water body is currently failing to meet Good status, which is required for WFD compliance by 2027. The WFD DIN classification demonstrates that the waters of the Milford Haven Outer water body are also at Moderate status and are hyper-nutrified according to WFD standards, but assessments did not demonstrate failures of phytoplankton or opportunistic macroalgae quality elements at water body level.

The proposed development lies within the Milford Haven Waterway Landscape of Outstanding Historic Interest (HLW (D) 3). The proposed development site currently comprises the derelict remains of the RNAD depot, which include several large standing buildings of mid-20th century date, along with a partially cleared area within the former Oil Refinery and adjacent dis-used car park and agricultural land. 16.2 ASIDOHL Methodology In assessing the impact of the proposed development, guidelines are laid out in ‘Guide to Good Practice on Using The Register Of Landscapes Of Historic Interest In Wales In The Planning And Development Process’ (Revised 2nd Edition) which includes revisions to the assessment process (ASIDOHL2).

  • The Secret Waterway (Eng)
    secret waterway eng:newport walks/2 17/3/08 08:52 Page 1 THE SECRET WATERWAY secret waterway eng:newport walks/2 17/3/08 08:52 Page 2 The Secret Waterway The Milford Haven Waterway has been described as one of the finest natural harbours in the world. It is internationally famous as a classic example of a Ria, a drowned valley. Millions of years ago, when the sea level was much lower than today, a river valley was formed along a fault line in the rock. At the end of the Ice Age, melting ice sheets released immense amounts of water to deepen the valley. As the sea level rose the valley flooded. This broad sweep of water, sinuously curving its way into the heart of Pembrokeshire, has played a vital role in the history and fortunes of its people. Invaders and pirates have sought shelter in its hidden bays and creeks; medieval castles and Victorian forts dominate its shores; ancient villages and modern ports play host to ferries, fishing craft, oil tankers and yachts. The waterway also features landscapes of remarkable contrast. To the east of the Cleddau Bridge run the waters of the Daugleddau, meaning two Cleddaus, because here the eastern and western branches of the river meet. Its banks are clothed in ancient woodlands, birds call from quiet, sheltered inlets and the sense of tranquillity is profound. To the west of the Bridge, as it approaches the sea, the waterway widens. Here are busy townships, modern industries and historic fortifications, yet in all the hustle and bustle there are peaceful places here too.

Pai.grave LONDON KEGAN PAUL, TRENCH & CO., r, PATERNOSTER SQUARE 1884 {The rights of translation and of reproduction arc reserved.) TO HER ROYAL HIGHNESS ALEXANDRA, PRINCESS OF WALES, THIS BOOK IS INSCRIBED BY HER LOYAL AND GRATEFUL SERVANT THE AUTHOR. A thousand years have nursed the changeful mood Of England's race,—so long have good and ill Fought the grim battle, as they fight it still,— Since from the North, —a daring brotherhood,— They swarmed, and knew not, when, mid fire and blood, made their or took their fill They —English homes, Of English spoil, they rudely wrought His will Who sits for aye above the water-flood. Death's grip is on the restless arm that clove Our land in twain no the ; more Raven's flight Darkens our sky ; and now the gentle Dove Speeds o'er the wave, to nestle in the might Of English hearts, and whisper of the love That views afar time's eventide of light PREFACE. " I DO not pretend that my books can teach truth. All I hope for is that they may be an occasion to inquisitive men of discovering truth." Although it was of a subject infinitely higher than that of which the following pages treat, that Bishop Berkeley wrote such words, yet they exactly express the sentiment with which this book is submitted to the public.
