This is constantly under road noise. discussion, with little success so far. Action 2: Improve safety The Parish Council now participate in the local transport group at slip-roads to with the police and neighbouring councils. The Chair of our A34 Parish Council has been very active in putting forward our concerns. Action 3: Reduce traffic New road markings on the Hill have not really solved the speed on Hinksey problem. Cats-eyes in the road have simply created a new Hill noise problem as large vehicles have to rumble over them. Action 4: Reduce the risk The Flood group has made progress with action taken by the of flooding railway authority to clear drain blockages and clearance of ditches and underground pipes in the village. In the last very heavy downpour there was no flooding in the village. Unfortunately the proposed bund around the village has been abandoned because the Environment Agency could not justify the high expenditure. Action 5: Improve and We have managed to get limited road repairs done in the repair roads, pavements village. Cutting back of overhanging hedges and removal of and footpaths litter particularly on Hinksey Hill has also been done. More pavement and road repairs are needed. Action 6: Improve parking Parking in the village has actually become more of a problem in the village since the pub car park has been fenced off. We are still working on this. Action 7: Upgrade bridge Network Rail have agreed to construct a "Wheelie ramp" on to New Hinksey to the Devil’s Backbone bridge improve cycle access Action 8: Create new We are working with Sustrans, the national cycle network, on cycling and walking establishing new cycle trails throughout the parish.

  • Annual Report of the Oxfordshire Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (Sacre)
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE OXFORDSHIRE STANDING ADVISORY COUNCIL ON RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (SACRE) September 2016 – July 2017 CONTENTS ➢ Foreword ➢ 1. Standards and quality of provision of RE ➢ 2. Managing the SACRE and Partnership with the LA and Other Key Stakeholders ➢ 3. Effectiveness of the Agreed Syllabus ➢ 4. Collective Worship ➢ Annex 1: Membership of SACRE ➢ Annex 2: Attendance record for SACRE Members 2016-17 ➢ Annex 3: Reflections ➢ Annex 4: The value of SACRE: a view from two members ➢ Examination results by individual schools FOREWORD FROM THE CHAIR I was honoured to be elected Chair of SACRE in November and first and foremost want to thank Nick Wood for all his years in the role; I hope I will serve the Council as effectively and enthusiastically, if perhaps not quite for so long! These are challenging times for RE and SACREs and my main priority as Chair is to ensure that we, as a representative body, are as active and effective as we can be in supporting and challenging schools to provide good quality RE to all pupils. We will do this by making our presence more felt both physically and on the web. Whilst communication between SACRE and schools is more challenging, we recognise the importance of working with schools to share their good practice and to spread the provision of quality religious education and meaningful collective worship. RE remains a statutory subject for all schools and its importance has never been more acute than today. Pupils need the opportunity to make sense of their own and others’ views of life and to have an accurate knowledge and understanding of different beliefs and ways of life.

  • Samuel Lipscomb Seckham
    Samuel Lipscomb Seckham By PETER HOWELL l TIL recently the name of Samuel Lipscomb Seckham was fairly widely U known in Oxford as that of the architect of Park Town. A few other facts, such as that he was City Surveyor, were known to the cognoscenti. No-one, however, had been able to discover anything significant about his background, let alone what happened to him after he built the Oxford Corn Exchange in 1861-2. In '970 a fortunate chance led to the establishment of contact with Dr. Ann Silver, a great-granddaughter of Seckham, and as a result it has been po ible to piece together the outline ofhis varied career.' He was born on 25 October ,827,' He took his names from his grandparents, Samuel Seckham (1761-1820) and Susan Lipscomb (d. 18'5 aged 48).3 His father, William ('797-,859), kept livery stables at 20 Magdalen Street, Oxford,. and prospered sufficiently to retire and farm at Kidlington.5 The family came from Devon, where it is aid that Seccombes have occupied Seccombe Farm at Germans­ week, near Okehampton, since Saxon limes. Seccombes are still living there, farming. It is thought that Seckllam is the earlier spelling, but tombstones at Germansweek show several different versions. 6 It is not known how the family reached Oxford, but Samuel Lipscomb Seckham's great-grandmother Elizabeth was buried at St. Mary Magdalen in 1805.7 His mother was Harriett Wickens (1800-1859). Her grandfather and father were both called James, which makes it difficult to sort out which is which among the various James W;ckens' recorded in I The fortunate chance occurred when Mrs.

At a time when Oxford needed to expand out of its historic core centred around the castle, the medieval streets and the major colleges, these two factors enabled the area to be laid out as a planned suburb as lands associated with medieval manors were made available. This gives the whole area homogeneity as a residential suburb.
