GP practices in this area are currently open between 8am and 6.30pm Monday to Friday, with some practices open for longer hours on one or two weekdays and some Saturday mornings. These are called “extended hours appointments”. The new proposal is to offer extended hours appointments every weekday evening and at weekends/early mornings depending on local demand by October 2018. These appointments will be offered from a central surgery hub, which is different to the surgery that you are registered with. The service will be run by Generating Healthcare Ltd which is a collaboration of all GPs in the area. Everyone registered with a GP practice in the area is asked to give their opinion on these proposals. Giving your views To ensure best use of NHS resources patients are asked to complete the survey online at: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/ULVExAccess Alternatively patients who do not have access or are unable to complete the online survey, a paper version of the questionnaire is attached.

  • Dear Parent/Carer, I Hope You and Your Family Are All Safe and Well. I
    Dear parent/carer, I hope you and your family are all safe and well. I am writing to you regarding the A Level Results Day on Thursday 13th August. The results will be handed out as normal, as we feel the students would prefer to come into school and collect their results. Collecting results Due to social distancing measures students will collect their results in the Sports Hall as there are a number of different entrances for us to maximise the space. We have staggered the collection times to minimise the number of students on site at any one time. Therefore, students with the surnames A to J will be able to collect their results between 8:00am and 8:30am; students with the surnames K to Z will be able to collect their results between 8:30am and 9:00am. Please see the attached map (appendix) which shows the entrance your daughter/son needs to use to collect their results. All results must be collected by 9:30am. Staff will be available to support students who may need assistance in accessing the UCAS clearing system. YC Hertfordshire are also offering a support service with their team of Personal Advisers (see appendix). If your daughter/son is unable to come into school on results day due to shielding/self-isolating, please can you let me know via email by 31st July so we can arrange an alternative method of sharing the results with your child. I hope you have a lovely summer and I wish your daughter/son the best of luck with their results and we are looking forward to seeing the students in August.

  • Handlist of Maps, Plans, Illustrations and Other Large-Format Single-Sheet Material in the Society's Library
    Handlist of maps, plans, illustrations and other large-format single-sheet material in the Society’s library This is the fourth edition of the Handlist covering the Society’s map collection. The key updates since the last edition are the inclusion of new digital and printed copies of Benjamin Hare’s 1634 map of the town. Our extensive and eclectic collection also includes architectural drawings, auction notices and posters. The earliest map is Hare’s 1634 map referred to above; we have a unique set of copies of three St Albans parish maps from around 1810; and copies of the 1879 1:500 scale Ordnance Survey maps of St Albans town centre. Some material has not yet been included in this listing. For example, we have digital copies of the early Victorian tithe maps for the four St Albans parishes as well as Sandridge. We also have a digital copy of a rare map of the town in the late 1850s. All are available to view on computer. The listing was collated by Library volunteers Tony Cooper, Frank Iddiols and Jonathan Mein.
