This time last year we clearly had no idea what was about to happen across the globe, and I am sure many of us feel as if we have just lost the year. Too many people of course have lost more than just one year, and although the incidence of infection and severe illness has (so far) been lower in this region than elsewhere our parish has not been immune to the health and economic impact of Covid-19. In my last Village Link report I described some of the ways in which our community was coping with the changes and restrictions brought about by what is now known as “lockdown 1” – a combination of mutual support, good neighbourliness, local support groups and the creativity of local businesses. Thanks were expressed to all those involved, and I ex- press again our thanks to everyone who is helping to support themselves, others and the community. We would be in a much more difficult situation without you, and unfortunately we have some time to go before this will all be behind us. One of the challenges we all face is in keeping up with the guidance and legislation linked to Covid-19. This ranges from the general – applicable to us all in our daily lives, through to specific guidance and legislation cover- ing different regions, countries (for travel), activities and businesses. And it all changes with time. Parish councils receive a steady stream (flood!) of guidance and publicity from Wiltshire Council and others but we have been cautious with how much we display as it changes so fre- quently. The best advice we can give is to check the gov- ernment website directly if in doubt (https://www.gov.uk/ coronavirus). For users of smartphones, the NHS Covid- 19 app includes a direct link to this website. Through all of this the Parish Council has been doing its best to support the community and to carry on with business as usual to the extent possible. This includes: Installation of a new parish council noticeboard, as well as new notice- boards in the bus shelters and (shortly) at the Glebe Hall. 6 Review of the benches and seats in public spaces, with repair of some, re- moval of others and plans for new additional seating in the QEII field. Community days – we have convened two recently (Covid-19 secure!) and have others planned for the next few weeks. Working with Wiltshire Council to get things done – we have seen sub- stantial repairs to the A338 and much needed patching to Figsbury Road this year. Planning for the future – we are developing our plans for a new website and for enhancement of facilities at the Glebe Field and QEII field, work- ing these into our budget for next year and beyond. And for 2021….? Putting Covid-19 to one side (if only) we should be holding council elections for this area next year – both for Wiltshire Council and for parish councils. The last time we had a full ballot for Winterbourne Parish Council was well over 20 years ago. For every subsequent full election we had too few candi- dates such that all were elected uncontested. In 2007 we were left without a working council as there were only two nominations for election. In recent years we have been fortunate to have a full or nearly full council, achieved in part through election but also co-option to fill vacancies. We do currently still have one vacancy (see page 9) and would be pleased to hear from anyone who would like to join the council – with the elections only 6 months away it is a good opportunity to find out what it involves before committing to the next 4 year cycle! However, it would be much better and more democratic for the community to be able to choose, through the election, who represents you on the parish council. For this to happen we need more residents to step forward as candi- dates in May. If you would like to know more, or discuss what this involves, or maybe would like to help in other ways, please do get in touch with any of the current councillors. Finally, a reminder that we are here to support the community. If there are things that need fixing or improving, or you have ideas or suggestions, please do let us know.

  • Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the Differences Between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas
    Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the differences between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas This document should be read in conjunction with the School Places Strategy 2017 – 2022 and provides an explanation of the differences between the Wiltshire Community Areas served by the Area Boards and the School Planning Areas. The Strategy is primarily a school place planning tool which, by necessity, is written from the perspective of the School Planning Areas. A School Planning Area (SPA) is defined as the area(s) served by a Secondary School and therefore includes all primary schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into that secondary school. As these areas can differ from the community areas, this addendum is a reference tool to aid interested parties from the Community Area/Area Board to define which SPA includes the schools covered by their Community Area. It is therefore written from the Community Area standpoint. Amesbury The Amesbury Community Area and Area Board covers Amesbury town and surrounding parishes of Tilshead, Orcheston, Shrewton, Figheldean, Netheravon, Enford, Durrington (including Larkhill), Milston, Bulford, Cholderton, Wilsford & Lake, The Woodfords and Great Durnford. It encompasses the secondary schools The Stonehenge School in Amesbury and Avon Valley College in Durrington and includes primary schools which feed into secondary provision in the Community Areas of Durrington, Lavington and Salisbury. However, the School Planning Area (SPA) is based on the area(s) served by the Secondary Schools and covers schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into either The Stonehenge School in Amesbury or Avon Valley College in Durrington.

  • Newton Tony CE VC Primary School
    Newton Tony CE VC Primary School Admissions Arrangements 2018-2019 Policy agreed November 2017 Policy review September 2018 This policy applies solely to applications for places at Voluntary Controlled (VC) and Community (C) Primary, Infant and Junior Schools. Foundation (F), Voluntary Aided schools (VA) and Academies (A) are their own admissions authorities and the governing bodies are responsible for determining their own procedures and policies. Determined arrangements for the co-ordination of primary admissions are drafted with the determined co-ordinated admissions scheme 2018/19. The application round for entry into Reception 2018 and Junior Year 3 entry opens on 1 September 2017. The deadline date for applications to be received is midnight on 15 January 2018. The home address given for the child must be the address where the child is resident as of the deadline date. Designated Area A designated area is a discrete geographical zone served by a school. The address that determines a child’s designated area is the place where s/he is ordinarily resident with his/her parent(s) or legal guardian(s) for the majority of the school week. Most schools have a discrete designated area but some addresses fall within areas shared by two or more schools. Children living outside the county boundary are treated as if the children live within Wiltshire but outside the designated area for the school(s) in question. For admission criterion purposes, the address used for Bargees, will be the sorting office or main post office address, closest to the place of mooring as of the deadline date.
