More details about these are given in this newsletter. Year 7 students are settling in really well and we are all getting used to the increased numbers. We were very relieved to come back to our completely finished school after the disruption of the last couple of years – but it was all worth it! The new term sees us welcoming a number of new staff to the school: Mr Abraham (English teacher) Miss Ayres (Head of Technology) Mr Concannon (technology teacher) Mrs Kellett (art teacher) Miss Miller (art technician) Mr Reading (Head of Year 7 and maths teacher) Ms Wright (science teacher) Mrs Pittard (Communications Administrator) Mr Choudhury (learning support) Mrs Lalji (learning support) and Mrs St. Ville (learning support). We are very pleased to have successfully employed such high calibre staff and I am sure you will all join me in welcoming them to Lealands. We also have a number of trainee teachers working with us this year through our partnerships with the University of Bedfordshire, Chiltern Training Group and Luton Futures/Schools Direct. We wish them well this year. We received some very good news at the end of last term as Miss Bews gave birth, in June, to a healthy baby girl. We miss her and look forward to Miss Bews returning to the school soon. Two other members of staff have just begun maternity leave: Miss Evans (Communications Administrator) and Mrs Smith (PE teacher). We all wish them well for the future. Much has changed and improved at Lealands over the last couple of years and we know that parental satisfaction is now very high. However, we also know there are always things we can improve further. Please let us know of any concerns or comments you have as these are always helpful to us in planning for the future. This year our priorities for continued improvement have been refined to cover: Supporting every student to achieve excellence Stakeholders – working more with governors, parents, partner schools, local community and others Improving school systems – including: teaching and learning; home learning and responses to marking Growth and succession planning – ensuring we cater well for the growing number of students attending the school 2 We have already made a good start on these priorities with a staggering number of Year 7 parents volunteering to join the parents forum – Mrs Bendefy (Assistant Head) is planning how to manage the numbers and will be in touch soon. We have also introduced green pens for students to respond to the marking in their books. This builds on the very positive comments Ofsted made about marking in the school. We continue to work very closely in partnership with Lea Springs schools and within Luton Futures. This will be further enhanced with a joint Luton Futures training day in January where teachers from Lealands, Icknield High School and Challney Girls School will all work together on planning outstanding teaching. I hope you enjoy reading about the many events and student achievements in this newsletter and I am looking forward to another exciting year at Lealands.

Authorisation for leave will not be given in the following circumstances: A pupil’s attendance is less than 97% in the current academic year and 95% in the previous academic year. A pupil is in Years 7, 10 or 11. During SATS, GCSE or other public examinations. At the beginning of any academic year. Retrospectively.

Lealands’ students have achieved excellent results in 2013 GCSEs. Their successes reflect the school motto, ‘Aspire Believe Achieve’ and many have achieved above expectations which is a credit to their hard work and dedication. Provisional results show further improvements from last year’s very good attainment. 18% of students achieved 3 or more A/A* grades. 72% achieved a grade C or above in English and 68% in maths. Overall, 57% achieved 5+ A*-C including English and maths which we believe is above this year’s national average. We are very pleased to report that our results for pure academic GCSEs (without equivalent easier qualifications) hold very well at 55% 5+ A*-C with English and maths which is likely to be well above the national average. Some individuals performed exceptionally well, achieving more than 6 A*/A grades: Jess Conway, Matthew Cooney, Molly Davies, Alex Eves, Shannon Kitsell, Chantelle Knight, Aaliyah Lockitt, Jordan Mongey, Shannon Murphy, Amy-Liann Nilsson and Lauren Powell. A special congratulations to Amy-Liann Nilsson who gained a phenomenal 13 A*/A grades. A number of students made exceptional progress in English/maths: Nathan Beck, Ryley Divine, Aeishia Dayes, Tia Fleming, Shannon Kitsell, Pierce McCarthy, Kareem Ngwisa, Leanne Rouse and Samantha Thompson. Mr Burridge, Headteacher, said, “I am overjoyed by the success of our students. They and their teachers work so hard and it is great that this has paid off with such fantastic results. This year has been full of highlights with the completion of our refurbishment, excellent outcome from Ofsted and now this! We are all celebrating.” Paul Troughton, Chair of Governors, said, “Our school has gone from strength to strength and these results are wonderful. The staff are so committed and dedicated. The Governors would like to wish all of our ex-Year 11 students well for the future”. 5 Welcome To The New Year 7 Students After a busy summer filled with transition events, the new term loomed ahead. In past years this filled many students with dread, fear and wonder at what exactly lay ahead in their first year at secondary school. For many Lealands High School students this year, that was not the case. Many felt they were already a part of Lealands after attending the transition clubs after school last term. ‘I attended the dance club. It was really good and it also helped me feel I was part of Lealands school’ Jessica Farquharson ‘I went to the art club and we got to use the chalks and stuff. I liked it because I met some of the teachers and older students. When I came in September is was like coming back more than being new.’ Elijah Mead Some selected students then went on to attend the summer school program which included a week of events held at the school in the first week of the holidays and a residential project at Dell Farm towards the end of the summer. 6 Year 7 Transition Days - Dell Farm ‘I went to the summer project at Lealands. We did all sorts of exciting things but I loved the sports best. I got to meet loads of people who would be joining in September like me and it made me feel confident.’Seiya Fujino ‘I stayed at Dell Farm.

  • What Is Luton Forum's Sustainable Community Strategy?
    Our vision for Luton in 2026 Luton’s Sustainable Community Strategy ‘We want Luton to be prettier – friendly and nice’, quote from a younger resident at our community consultation event, February 2008 Designed by Communications Luton Borough Council October ‘08 NMD 1729 Luton’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2008 - 2026 Luton’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2008 - 2026 Partners Notes 33 Luton’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2008 - 2026 Luton’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2008 - 2026 Notes Young people are at the heart of our vision for Luton and have been involved in developing it in many ways. The strategy is illustrated with artwork by young people brought together by SNAP, a local voluntary organisation. The pictures show their ideas of Luton in 2026. 32 1 Luton’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2008 - 2026 Luton’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2008 - 2026 Foreword Notes By Councillor Hazel Simmons, Chair of the Luton Forum. Welcome to the Luton Forum’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2008-2026. The Luton Forum is a partnership of statutory and mainstream agencies, the voluntary and community sector, and business representatives. We are committed to working together to make Luton a better place to be – both now and by 2026. That may seem an odd fgure but it’s 18 years. We chose it because we wanted our strategy to paint a picture of what Luton will be like when someone born today enters adulthood – what life chances would we like them to have? What opportunities do we want to create for them over the next 18 years? But this strategy is not only focused on young people – we want Luton to be a town where all residents, regardless of age, enjoy a good quality of life.

  • Integrated Youth Support Service (IYSS) – North Area Update
    AGENDA ITEM 11 Integrated Youth Support (IYS) – North Neighbourhood update The IYS team in the north area of Luton has worked with a number of young people across the area both within youth centres and in schools. Our work involves informal education opportunities organised by youth workers and information, advice & guidance by personal advisors. Below is a brief outline of just some of our youth projects that have taken place recently and some forthcoming events: Connect Arts 2009 The youth centres involved in the connect arts 2009 took part in the youth showcase event at the Hat Factory. Groups of young people attending our youth centres were involved in African dance & drumming, street dance, St.Georges day dragon modelling and stage set design. The event was attended by friends & families and gave young people a public performance experience. Our groups for disabled young people also performed at the event and had a great time. Devon Residential The north area ‘young voice’ group attended a four-day residential to Devon during the Easter holidays and took part in a wide variety of outdoor activities that were both challenging and adventurous. The 16 young people aged 13- 18yrs were involved in team activities and group work and will now form the area group for young people having a voice and influencing local youth provisions. Boom Bus The mobile youth bus provision has been a regular feature on a Friday night in the Runfold area as an identified hot spot. Youth workers are engaging with 13-17yr olds who are not accessing current youth provision and this has proved a success with young people/parents.

  • Report on Core Areas of Work
    Formatted APPENDIX A - REPORT ON CORE AREAS OF WORK Carriageway Resurfacing Programme 1. Luton‟s highway network is an essential communication link that serves almost everyone everyday of the week and for a wide variety of reasons from simply visiting friends and relatives to vital business deliveries. Roads are an extremely valuable asset and in Luton their Gross Replacement Value is currently £470.25m. 2. In 2011/12 we delivered 33 resurfacing schemes and spent c. £1,500,000 of capital and revenue funding. However, with another severe winter in 2010/11 many roads had deteriorated further with the long period of freeze/thaw leading to the accelerated break- up of carriageway surfaces, with extensive cracking, crazing and potholes. 3. In addition in March 2011 the Department for Transport allocated £248,006 of Winter Pothole Funding to LBC following severe winter weather. This was used for large area road patching with over 28 roads treated. 4. Weather predictions for future years indicate an increasing trend for more exceptional weather conditions resulting in further pressure on already reducing maintenance budgets. Highway maintenance is increasingly a matter of managing the deterioration of assets. 5. The classified road (A, B & C roads) network is assessed annually using nationally developed criteria and the unclassified network is assessed every two years. Figures supplied to government show that we are currently only spending half of what would be required to maintain Luton‟s roads in their current condition. 361 resurfacing schemes have been identified following carriageway condition surveys of the road network. 6. Based upon results of the assessments, and referrals from area Highway Inspectors, Highway Services has developed a programme of work for carriageways which need immediate and significant improvement.

One of the most significant is a new national curriculum. Our staff will be planning and training during the course of this term so that we are well prepared for September.
