  • 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.

  • Army Basing Salisbury Plan Planning Applications New SFA Exhibition Banners
    Army Basing - Salisbury Plain Planning Applications 1 Introduction Government announcements The Army Basing Plan announced on 5th March 2013 confirmed Salisbury Plain as a major focus of the Reaction Force element of Army 2020. For further details on the wider programme visit: www.gov.uk/government/consultations/salisbury-plain- training-area-master-plan-army-basing-programme. The Government has committed up to £800 million to be invested in the Salisbury Plain area. The planned changes In total there will be approximately 7,700 people moving to the Salisbury Plain area comprising 4,300 additional service personnel plus their families. To provide the necessary infrastructure the key elements of the Masterplan for the Army Basing Programme are: • Extensive new construction and refurbishment of existing buildings within the existing base perimeter for: • Single living accommodation (SLA), with dining, catering, recreational and welfare facilities; and • Technical accommodation, including workshops, garages, armouries, stores and offices. • Outside the existing base perimeter there will be changes to the training area; and • 1,017 new houses for Service Family Accommodation (SFA); 444 in Larkhill; 246 in Ludgershall; 227 in Bulford; and 100 purchased in Tidworth. The Salisbury Plain Masterplan In 2014 a Salisbury Plain Masterplan was prepared to illustrate the necessary changes to existing infrastructure to serve the needs of this larger community of Army personnel and service families. The Masterplan, together with the supporting Environmental Report, sets the planning framework for the development of each site identified. Planning applications Over the past few months, proposals for a number of sites identified in the Masterplan - Bulford, Ludgershall and Larkhill - have been developed.

  • 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.

  • Army Basing Newsletter – February 2018
    Army Basing Newsletter – February 2018 This publication aims to regularly update you on the Army Basing Programme (ABP) announced in 2013 stating some 4,000 additional Service personnel plus their families would relocate to Salisbury Plain by 2020. Wiltshire Council Visit to Perham Down: The MOD Army Basing Team invited Baroness Scott of Bybrook, OBE, Leader of Wiltshire Council, local Wiltshire councillors, the Corporate Director for Growth, Investment and Place (Alistair Cunningham) together with the local Community Engagement Manager (Marc Read) to see recent development at Perham Down on 18 January. In addition, General Wardlaw (Director of Basing and Infrastructure), Mark Duddy (ABP Programme Director) and Allan Thomson (Aspire’s Chief Executive) provided a briefing on the scale and development of the £1billion programme, which is on track to deliver facilities inside and outside ‘the wire’ within the required 2020 timescale. The party also drove through the recently completed Ashdown Housing Estate in Tidworth. Construction Programme: Construction work continues at pace on garrisons (Tidworth, Larkhill, Bulford and Perham Down). As reported previously, many new buildings, extensions and refurbishments are underway or have been completed. Additionally, the school build programme required for the increased military population is well established with St Michael’s Primary School at Larkhill now very prominent on the landscape. Planning permission to extend the Avon Valley College at Durrington was granted, on 11 October 2017. Planning applications for the new school at Ludgershall and extending Wellington Academy were submitted on 1st December 2017 and 8th January 2018 respectively. The tenders for these two schools are due to be returned in mid-April 18, so that all places will be available in August 2019, in good time for the arrival of the Army units arriving in the summer of 2019.

  • Ever Increasing Circles: the Sacred Geographies of Stonehenge and Its Landscape
    Proceedings of the British Academy, 92, 167-202 Ever Increasing Circles: The Sacred Geographies of Stonehenge and its Landscape TIMOTHY DARVILL Introduction THE GREAT STONE CIRCLE standing on the rolling chalk downland of Salisbury Plain that we know today as Stonehenge, has, in the twentieth century AD, become a potent icon for the ancient world, and the focus of power struggles and contested authority in our own. Its reputation and stature as an archaeological monument are enormous, and sometimes almost threaten to overshadow both its physical proportions and our accumu- lated collective understanding of its construction and use. While considerable attention has recently been directed to the relevance, meaning and use of the site in the twentieth century AD (Chippindale 1983; 1986a; Chippindale et al. 1990; Bender 1992), the matter of its purpose, significance, and operation during Neolithic and Bronze Age times remains obscure. The late Professor Richard Atkinson was characteristically straightforward when he said that for questions about Stonehenge which begin with the word ‘why’: ‘there is one short, simple and perfectly correct answer: We do not know’ (1979, 168). Two of the most widely recognised and enduring interpretations of Stonehenge are, first, that it was a temple of some kind; and, second, that its orientation on the midsummer sunrise gave it some sort of astronomical role in the lives of its builders. Both interpre- tations, which are not mutually exclusive, have of course been taken to absurd lengths on occasion. During the eighteenth century, for example, William Stukeley became obses- sive about the role of the Druids at Stonehenge (Stukeley 1740).
