Friday 15Th September 2017 Dear Year 5 and 6 Parents/Carers, As Friday 15th September 2017 Dear Year 5 and 6 Parents/Carers, As you may be aware, at this time of year you should be beginning to consider your child’s next steps in terms of secondary school. For Year 6, the closing date for applications is 5pm on 31st October 2017. Any application received after this time will be treated as late and processed in April 2018 and onwards. For Year 5 parents, this may be a time when you begin to consider the range of schools on offer – secondary schools are most welcoming to you and it can often ease the decision making process when it is started a little earlier. Attached to this letter is a list of local secondary schools and their designated open times. If you need any further information regarding the school, I would suggest you visit their websites, read their Ofsted reports, take a look at ‘Parents’ View’ which is on-line or pick up a prospectus. Could I ask that you advise the school office if your child will be absent from school to attend a school open day. Applications can be made online or via post. Please make sure that you look at the information contained on the Northamptonshire County Council website, you will find the online application and a useful guide on how to apply. If you have any questions regarding the process, please look at the useful guide on the Northamptonshire County Council Website or telephone our school office on 01536 512112 and we will try to help. At St Thomas More, we endeavour to support our school family whenever help is needed. If you have difficulty accessing the application form you are more than welcome to use our technology. If you need any further information, advice or just someone to talk the process through with, we are always here. Wishing you all the best of luck with this important decision in your child’s learning journey. Yours sincerely, Mr Fraser Donald Headteacher Open Evening Dates 2017 Kettering Area Secondary Schools Tuesday 26th September 6pm – 8pm – Southfield School for Girls Thursday 28th September – 5.45pm – Kettering Buccleuch Academy Tuesday 3rd October – 6pm – 8.30pm – Latimer Arts College Thursday 5th October – 5pm -7pm – Montsaye Academy Tuesday 10th October – 6.15pm - Kettering Science Academy Thursday 12th October 5.30pm – 8pm – Bishop Stopford School Open Mornings on Monday 9th, Tuesday 10th and Wednesday 11th October 2017 between 10:00am-12:00pm. .

    NOR THAMPTONS ~HIRE'~~ PAST & PRESENT ~nqitnt and MODERN . .. large or small. Fine building is synonymous with Robert Marriott Ltd., a member of the Robert Marriott Group, famous for quality building since 1890. In the past 80 years Marriotts have established a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship on the largest and small­ est scales. Whether it is a £7,000,000 housing contract near Bletchley, a new head­ quarters for Buckinghamshire County Council at Aylesbury (right) or restor­ ation and alterations to Easton Maudit Church (left) Marriotts have the experi­ ence, the expertise and the men to carry out work of the most exacting standards and to a strict schedule. In the last century Marriotts made a name for itself by the skill of its crafts­ men employed on restoring buildings of great historical importance. A re­ markable tribute to the firm's founder, the late Mr. Robert Marriott was paid in 1948 by Sir Albert Richardson, later President of the Royal Academy, when he said: "He was a master builder of the calibre of the Grimbolds and other famous country men. He spared no pains and placed ultimate good before financial gain. No mean craftsman him­ self, he demanded similar excellence from his helpers." Three-quarters of a century later Marriotts' highly specialised Special Projects Division displays the same inherent skills in the same delicate work on buildings throughout the Midlands. To date Hatfield House, Long Melford Hall in Suffolk, the Branch Library at Earls Barton, the restoration of Castle Cottage at Higham Ferrers, Fisons Ltd., Cambridge, Greens Norton School, Woburn Abbey restorations and the Falcon Inn, Castle Ashby, all bear witness to the craftsmanship of Marriotts.

    NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SECONDARY AND UTC Note: Where 'Please see school's proposed policy document' is noted in column 2, full admissions policies can be accessed from the NCC website, or should be available on the school's own website. SCHOOL PROPOSED CHANGES FOR 2020 INTAKES Abbeyfield School Bishop Stopford School All secondary schools in the Brooke Weston Trust (Brooke Weston Academy, Corby Business Academy, Corby Technical School, Kettering Science Academy) have proposed to make their waiting list criteria clearer, by using the following revised definition: From the 1st March until the 31st August of the offer year (the academic year before the academic year in which students are admitted into Year 7) children's position on the Year 7 waiting list will be determined solely in accordance with the oversubscription criteria. Where places become vacant they will be allocated, through a fresh round of random allocation, to children on the waiting list from the stanine that has become vacant and in accordance with the oversubscription criteria. If there is no-one on the waiting list from the stanine that has a vacancy the place will be filled by a child from a neighbouring stanine on an even basis (i.e. if the first child is from a stanine above then the next will be from the stanine below). Students who did not take the ability test will Brooke Weston Academy only be considered if there are places remaining once empty places have been offered to all those who did take the test. From the 1st September until the 31st December of the Year of entry in Year 7, late applicants (those who did not apply before the Local Authority’s closing date) and anyone else who did not sit the test will be randomly placed into the stanines on the waiting list, distributed evenly starting from stanine 5.
