  • INSPECTION 08 July 2010 Rainbow Forge Primary School Beighton
    PROTECT – INSPECTION Aviation House T 0300 123 1231 125 Kingsway [email protected] London WC2B 6SE www.ofsted.gov.uk 08 July 2010 Rainbow Forge Primary School Our reference:107005 Beighton Road Hackenthorpe Sheffield South Yorkshire S12 4LQ Dear Parent Rainbow Forge Primary School: Ofsted’s interim assessment I am pleased to provide some important information about Rainbow Forge Primary School. As you may know, during its last inspection in November 2006, Ofsted inspectors judged your child’s school to be good. Schools which are performing well are now inspected less often than other schools. This usually means that good schools are inspected once in five years, whilst satisfactory schools will be inspected at least once every three years. Some good schools are inspected after three years; others may have their inspections put back. To help decide whether we can wait longer than three years before undertaking a full inspection of a good school, such as your child’s, Her Majesty’s Inspectors look at various sources of information, as listed below. This is called an ‘interim assessment.’ The results of the interim assessment In carrying out the interim assessment, we considered the following: pupils’ academic performance pupils’ attendance any visits carried out by Ofsted since the last inspection complaints about the school by parents or carers any other significant issues brought to Ofsted’s attention. I am pleased to inform you that our interim assessment shows that the school’s performance has been sustained and that we can defer its next full inspection As a result, the next full inspection will not take place any earlier than 1 September 2011 unless we receive information in the course of the coming year that causes us to inspect earlier.

    The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town cl740-cl820 Neville Flavell PhD The Division of Adult Continuing Education University of Sheffield February 1996 Volume Two PART TWO THE GROWTH OF THE TOWN <2 6 ?- ti.«» *• 3 ^ 268 CHAPTER 14 EXPANSION FROM 1736 IGOSLING) TO 1771 (FAIRBANKS THE TOWN IN 1736 Sheffield in Gosling's 1736 plan was small and relatively compact. Apart from a few dozen houses across the River Dun at Bridgehouses and in the Wicker, and a similar number at Parkhill, the whole of the built-up area was within a 600 yard radius centred on the Old Church.1 Within that brief radius the most northerly development was that at Bower Lane (Gibraltar), and only a limited incursion had been made hitherto into Colson Crofts (the fields between West Bar and the river). On the western and north-western edges there had been development along Hollis Croft and White Croft, and to a lesser degree along Pea Croft and Lambert Knoll (Scotland). To the south-west the building on the western side of Coalpit Lane was over the boundary in Ecclesall, but still a recognisable part of the town.2 To the south the gardens and any buildings were largely confined by the Park wall which kept Alsop Fields free of dwellings except for the ingress along the northern part of Pond Lane. The Rivers Dun and Sheaf formed a natural barrier on the east and north-east, and the low-lying Ponds area to the south-east was not ideal for house construction.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Beauchief in Sheffield is a beautiful hillside at the foot of which, near the river Sheaf, and on the still wooded south-western fringes of the city, are the remains of the medieval abbey that housed, from the late twelfth century until the Henrician Reformation, Augustinian canons belonging to the Premonstratensian order. Augustinian canonries were generally modest places, although for reasons that have been persuasively advanced by the late Sir Richard Southern, this fact should never obscure the breadth of their significance in the wider history of medieval urban and rural localities: The Augustinian canons, indeed, as a whole, lacked every mark of greatness. They were neither very rich, nor very learned, nor very religious, nor very influential: but as a phenomenon they are very important. They filled a very big gap in the biological sequence of medieval religious houses. Like the ragwort which adheres so tenaciously to the stone walls of Oxford, or the sparrows of the English towns, they were not a handsome species. They needed the proximity of human habitation, and they throve on the contact which repelled more delicate organisms. They throve equally in the near-neighbourhood of a town or a castle. For the well-to-do townsfolk they could provide the amenity of burial-places, memorials and masses for the dead, and schools and confessors of superior standing for the living. For the lords of castles they could provide a staff for the chapel and clerks for the needs of administration. They were ubiquitously useful. They could live on comparatively little, yet expand into affluence without disgrace.
