    Oxfordshire County Council Pupil Place Plan 2019-2023 November 2019 For 2019/20, the DfE has approved a change in primary school planning areas for Oxfordshire. Several of the previous planning areas have been subdivided into smaller areas, to support more detailed planning. This Pupil Place Plan is structured according to the larger areas – e.g. “Abingdon” – but comments have been made relating to the smaller sub-areas – e.g. “Abingdon East” – where appropriate. Pupil forecasts at sub-area level have been provided in the Annex. The list of schools starting on page 43 indicates which planning area each is in. The detailed data section starting on page 53 also indicates which planning area each is in, where this is relevant. Contents 1.

  • Oxfordshire Schools Training Evaluation Report July 2017
    Oxfordshire Schools Training Evaluation report July 2017 Image by Olivia Burt and Mimi Morley Iszatt “Great training, very sensitively handled with good resources.” Teacher, Oxford primary school “Huge thank you. Clear simple message. Confident presentation gives me confidence to talk about FGM too.” Teacher, Oxfordshire college Author: Kate Clayton-Hathway, Research Director, Oxford Against Cutting [email protected] © Oxford Against Cutting, 2017 2 | P a g e "Safeguarding training for school staff is a top priority for Oxford Against Cutting as children spend significantly more time at school than in other public settings. Our aim is to support school staff across the county to feel confident supporting girls at risk and survivors of FGM. We would also like to see more schools tackling this subject in the classroom, especially schools with significant numbers of students from FGM-affected communities". Kate Agha, Executive Director, Oxford Against Cutting Introduction Oxford Against Cutting (OAC) is an Oxford-based charity committed to working to help prevent female genital mutilation (FGM) of girls and women living in Oxfordshire. Between September 2016 and February 2017, OAC provided FGM-awareness training for 152 staff, 90 year-7 students and around 200 year-10 and 11 students representing 22 schools and colleges. The staff training sessions were led by OAC Executive Director, Kate Agha, supported by either MbaKaddy Touray Jarju (OAC Director) or Lena El-hindi (OAC Capacity Building and Training Specialist). OAC training is co-facilitated by a member of an FGM-affected community and many delegates have commented that this makes our training very powerful, helping them to understand FGM as a reality rather than an academic subject.

    HANBOROUGH GATE Long Hanborough, Oxfordshire Made for life. Join our legacy. Since 1927, Pye Homes has always taken the same pride in the homes and communities we have built in Oxfordshire. Although many things have changed in that time, our values have stayed the same, because so much of what was true then is still true today. That way, we know your home is made for life. We always take the same care in how we build, because that care ensures that your home is built to last. It means that everything about your home is perfectly placed, from the moment we lay the foundations, to the moment we open your door to show you around. By combining the best innovations in design and materials which have stood the test of time, we build in harmony with nature and the local legacy, so that new homes simply belong as part of a community, right from the start. It means always giving the same kind of personal care and integrity that our founder Jack Pye would recognise and be proud to acknowledge with his famous handshake. Those values, and that same regard for legacy, has led us to join with Blenheim and to make our commitment to their Legacy Principles. Together we share a desire for progress alongside a deep-rooted sense of place and enduring connection to our neighbours and local communities. Pye Homes.

  • Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet
    Traffic Sensitive Streets – Briefing Sheet Introduction Oxfordshire County Council has a legal duty to coordinate road works across the county, including those undertaken by utility companies. As part of this duty we can designate certain streets as ‘traffic-sensitive’, which means on these roads we can better regulate the flow of traffic by managing when works happen. For example, no road works in the centre of Henley-on-Thames during the Regatta. Sensitive streets designation is not aimed at prohibiting or limiting options for necessary road works to be undertaken. Instead it is designed to open-up necessary discussions with relevant parties to decide when would be the best time to carry out works. Criteria For a street to be considered as traffic sensitive it must meet at least one of the following criteria as set out in the table below: Traffic sensitive street criteria A The street is one on which at any time, the county council estimates traffic flow to be greater than 500 vehicles per hour per lane of carriageway, excluding bus or cycle lanes B The street is a single carriageway two-way road, the carriageway of which is less than 6.5 metres wide, having a total traffic flow of not less than 600 vehicles per hour C The street falls within a congestion charges area D Traffic flow contains more than 25% heavy commercial vehicles E The street carries in both directions more than eight buses per hour F The street is designated for pre-salting by the county council as part of its programme of winter maintenance G The street is within 100 metres of a critical signalised junction, gyratory or roundabout system H The street, or that part of a street, has a pedestrian flow rate at any time of at least 1300 persons per hour per metre width of footway I The street is on a tourist route or within an area where international, national, or significant major local events take place.

  • September 2017
    September 2017 The Curiosity Zone was the first zone of I’m a Researcher, Get me out of here. It was funded by the European Commission under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions, which is an EU funding programme to support research careers. The Zone ran for three weeks, connecting secondary school students in Oxfordshire with 22 researchers from the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University. The aim was to engage students with the wide variety of local researchers and to encourage students to attend to the live final at the Curiosity Carnival on 29th September. Among the researchers online was an archaeologist looking at the DNA in chicken bones to see how ancient people travelled, a sociologist interviewing families about moving to huge cities in China, a psychologist figuring out why people like to take part in rituals, an engineer working out how to stop jet engines melting, and a medical ethics researcher asking whether you own your own body. In total, researchers answered 133 approved questions sent in by students in ASK and, there were 14 live chats with classes. The majority of the students who took part were in Science classes. There were also Geography and Psychology classes who contributed 30% of the total questions in ASK. The majority of the activity took place in the second two weeks, as the start of the event coincided with the first full week of the new academic year for students and teachers. Many of the researchers engaged well, with 18 of the 22 attending a live chat and all of them answering questions in ASK.

It takes account of proposed Main Modifications to the Local Plan which are the subject of consultation from 11 November until 23 December 2016 and therefore supersedes the previous draft IDP which was published in July 2015. 1.2 By ‘infrastructure’ we mean essential services and facilities such as schools, roads, water, gas and electricity and open space. Typical Infrastructure Types West Oxfordshire Infrastructure Delivery Plan 2016 1 1.3 New development often puts existing infrastructure under pressure, creating a need for new or improved facilities to be provided. A good example would be a new housing development proposed where the nearest school is already full.
