  • [CHAMPIONSHIP] How, of Course
    Invitation Tom O'Brien was instantly impressed with Royal Birkdale when he walked the course for the first time 13 years ago. At the age of 48, he accepted the Head Greenkeeper's post in what could have been his last opportunity to handle an Open Championship, as well as his first. JOHN NELSON met the man who is again preparing his course for a world-class test of golf om O'Brien, B.E.M., is the name. On his shoulders rests Tthe reputation of Royal Birkdale for providing a world- class test of golf at The 120th Open in July. It could not be in better hands. Tom's the head greenkeeper and this will be his second Open preparation. He had his baptism in 1983 and although it was an experience not without its traumas, his course was universally acclaimed. Now, once again, he's in the hot seat, under the spotlight. What kind of man is he? How has he gone about preparing the course? Was it a benefit having done it before? How can other head greenkeepers gain from such experience? Golf and greenkeeping have been his whole life. Indeed, he grew up as part of the Scottish tradition whereby golf was the natural thing to do. Everyone played and virtually every village had its own course. He comes from Muirhead, Glasgow originally and on leaving school immediately start- ed a career as a greenkeeper. He joined his local club - Mount Ellen - as the junior member of its green staff. Mount Ellen is a downland course and Tom joined a team of four.

  • Schools Regulatory Services Determined Scheme for Co
    SCHOOLS REGULATORY SERVICES DETERMINED SCHEME FOR CO-ORDINATION OF ADMISSIONS TO SEFTON SECONDARY SCHOOLS 2017 The scheme set out below seeks to comply with the requirements of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, as later amended and the School Admissions Code 2014 and any further updates, in respect of co-ordinated admissions schemes. The Local Authority scheme for coordination of admissions will come into force for admission applications submitted from September 2016 for the admission of pupils transferring from primary to Secondary school in September 2017. Children transfer from primary to secondary schools in the September following their eleventh birthday. The Education and Skills Act 2008 increased the minimum age at which young people in England can leave learning, thus requiring them to continue in education or training to the age of 18. All 11 year olds starting secondary education in September 2017 will continue their learning in Education and or training until the age of 18. Sefton Local Authority has a statutory duty to co-ordinate the primary to secondary transfer process for admissions to Secondary Schools within Sefton. In addition to the statutory co- ordination role, the Local Authority is the Admissions Authority for Community Secondary Schools in the Borough. This means the Admissions Criteria for those schools is set by the Local Authority. Sefton Local Authority administers an Equal Preference Admissions Scheme. This means that each individual preference (school) listed on the Local Authority application form will be considered equally according to each individual school’s admissions criteria. If a place can be offered at more than one of the preferences listed on the application form, then the Local Authority will automatically offer the highest preferred school.
