Telephone: Portsmouth 21371 Does the ever INCREASING COST OF LIVING worry you ? Do you know that you can offset part of the high cost of living by owning a deep freeze chest or cabinet which enables you to store frozen foods that can be purchased in bulk supplies at much cheaper than normal over-the- counter prices. Also, you can deep-freeze your own garden produce and these foods can be stored almost indefinitely. The purchase and running costs of a popular sized chest or cabinet of something in the region of nine to twelve cubic feet is soon recovered by the savings on your food bills.

I shall focus on some of the creativity we have valued in Bucks SACRE this year both from our members and during our visits to schools. In addition, we receive wise counsel from our Education Officer at Bucks CC, Katherine Wells and our RE Adviser Bill Moore. At our meeting in October we learned that Suma Din our Muslim deputy had become a school governor and would no longer fulfil her role with SACRE. However, her legacy to us is her book published by the Institute of Education Press entitled ‘Muslim Mothers and their children’s schooling.’ See SACRED 7, for a review. (For this and all other references to SACRED see the website at the end of this section). In her contribution to SACRED 6 Suma wrote; From the Qur’an, I understand my role as being a ‘steward’ on this earth; one who will take care, take responsibility and hand on a legacy to those who come after them.

  • Dr Challoners Grammar School
    Determination Case reference: ADA3659 Objector: An individual Admission authority: The Academy Trust for Dr Challoner’s Grammar School, Buckinghamshire Date of decision: 11 August 2020 Determination In accordance with section 88H(4) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, I do not uphold the objection to the admission arrangements for September 2021 determined by Dr Challoner’s Grammar School Trust for Dr Challoner’s Grammar School Buckinghamshire. The referral 1. Under section 88H(2) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, (the Act), an objection has been referred to the adjudicator by a person, (the objector), about the admission arrangements (the arrangements) for Dr Challoner’s Grammar School (the school), a selective academy school for boys aged 11 – 18 for admissions in September 2021. 2. The objection is to the school’s catchment area which is said to be in contravention of the ‘Greenwich judgement’, and therefore unlawful. The catchment area is also said to be unreasonable and to operate in a way that causes an unfairness to local applicants who do not live within the county of Buckinghamshire, specifically to applicants who reside in Chorleywood and Rickmansworth. 3. The local authority (LA) for the area in which the school is located is Buckinghamshire County Council. The LA is a party to this objection. Other parties to the objection are the objector and the Academy Trust for Dr Challoner’s Grammar School (the trust), which is the admission authority for the school. 4. The objector has lodged objections to the arrangements of two other schools, namely Chesham Grammar School (ADA3658) and Dr Challoner’s High School (ADA3660).
