  • Rochdale Borough Council Community Secondary Schools
    Determination Case reference: ADA3560 Objector: A parent Admission authority: Rochdale Borough Council for community secondary schools in Rochdale Date of decision: 27 June 2019 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 2020 determined by Rochdale Borough Council for community secondary schools in Rochdale. 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 parent (the objector) about the admission arrangements (the arrangements) for the community secondary schools in Rochdale for September 2020. The objection is that the priority given to children on the basis of the proximity of their homes to the nearest school is unfair to some pupils. 2. The parties to this objection are the objector and Rochdale Borough Council (the local authority). Jurisdiction 3. These arrangements were determined under section 88C of the Act on 25 February 2019 by the local authority, which is the admission authority for the schools. The objector submitted her objection to these determined arrangements on 2 May 2019. I am satisfied the objection has been properly referred to me in accordance with section 88H of the Act and it is within my jurisdiction. 4. Regulation 22 of The School Admissions (Admission Arrangements and Co- ordination of Admission Arrangements) (England) Regulations 2012 says “For the purposes of section 88H(5)(d), where the adjudicator has determined an objection to the admission arrangements of a school or Academy, no objection may be referred to the adjudicator raising the same or substantially the same issues in relation to those admission arrangements within 2 years of the decision by the adjudicator.” Determination REF3486 made by the adjudicator in December 2018 considered similar issues to those in this objection.

  • 16Th December 2019 Dear Parents
    16th December 2019 Dear Parents/Carers As you will be aware, the autumn term finishes for Christmas at lunchtime on Thursday 19th December. The new spring term begins for all students on Monday, 6th January 2020. As school finishes at 12:15pm on the last day, lunch will not be being served; however, students who are entitled to a free school lunch may collect lunch from the dining room before they leave. To ensure that we make enough lunches, students will need to give their name to Miss Hughes in the school office no later than 10am Wednesday 18th December. Charities We are proud that Middleton Technology School has a strong community spirit and also actively supports charities. Staff are currently supporting the Mission Christmas Toy Appeal, and students have been donating food items for the Middleton Food bank. We would really like to thank you for your support with this. Every year, we raise money for one charity. As always, we ask the community of Middleton Technology School to help us identify charities close to the community’s heart, which the Student Council then shortlists to four charities. In 2019, we were able to raise an amazing £10,000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust. A HUGE thank you to everyone who was involved in raising money for this worthwhile charity. In 2020, staff and students voted for Papyrus, a charity which focuses on mental health and the prevention of suicide in young people. The Student Council members did a superb job of organising the votes to ensure that everybody had the chance to have their say.

  • The Recipients: the Rt Hon Theresa May
    The recipients: The Rt Hon Theresa May MP, Prime Minister The Rt Hon Justine Greening MP, Secretary of State for Education The Rt Hon Nick Gibb MP, Minister of State for School Education Lord Kerslake, Chair of UK Northern Powerhouse Advisory Board Directors of Children’s Services, North West Members of Parliament, North West An open response to funding for secondary education in the North West We are writing to you to express our significant concerns regarding the unprecedented cuts to school budgets we face as headteachers of secondary schools in the North West of England. We know that the Government requires schools to find £3bn in savings by 2019 / 2020. This figure is validated by the National Audit Office and is, in reality, an 8% cut to school budgets. The Department for Education has insisted that it has protected school budgets in real terms. As headteachers we can clearly demonstrate that this is not the case. Secondary schools in the North West have already had to make savings to cope with over £97,000,000 of additional annual employment costs which schools now pay in the form of increased national insurance and pension contributions. This annual figure represents an actual cut to school budgets as these costs have not been funded by the Government. We will have to find savings approaching £400,000,000 by 2020 without even factoring in the impact of inflation and the apprenticeship levy. The impact of this is potentially devastating, with schools already considering cuts to arts provision, the curriculum, and the ability to maintain current opening hours.
