You may have noticed around the parish that we have raked and seeded in some small areas to create these Bourne End (Bucks) Community habitats.

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.

  • Lca 26.1 Thames Floodplain
    LCA 26.1 THAMES FLOODPLAIN LCA in Context LCA 26.1 THAMES FLOODPLAIN KEY CHARACTERISTICS • A flat, low lying floodplain, with very slight local topographic variation, underlain by a mix of alluvium, head and gravel formations, with free draining soils. • Fields of arable farmland pasture and rough grazing are divided by wooden post and rail fencing and hedgerows. • The River Thames runs along the southern boundary. Fields near the river are liable to flooding and there are areas of water meadow. • Willow pollards along the Thames and scattered or clumped trees along field boundaries. Woodland cover is sparse. • Varied ecology with gravel-pit lakes at Spade Oak/ Little Marlow and SSSIs including wet woodland and wet meadows. • The town of Marlow has a historic core and small villages such as Little Marlow and Medmenham have a historic character. More recent residential development at Bourne End and on the edges of Marlow. • A mixed field pattern with enclosures from irregular pre 18th century (regular, irregular and co-axial) though regular parliamentary enclosures to 20th century extended fields and horse paddocks. • A range of historic and archaeological features, including parkland at Fawley Court and Harleyford Manor, Medmenham Manor, Neolitihic and Bronze Age finds at Low Grounds and historic locks. • Cut by the busy A4155 and the A404 with rural roads leading down to the Thames and up the valley sides to the north. • The low-lying, flat and open landscape allows for some long views and panoramic vistas particularly north towards the higher sloping topography of the lower dip slope. • Some pockets of tranquillity and calm associated with areas of water and parkland, away from roads and settlement.

    LITTLE MARLOW PARISH COUNCIL YOUR COUNCIL FOR YOUR AREA NEWSLETTER NO: 34 AUTUMN/WINTER 2017 1 Dear Little Marlow Resident, It is that time of year again when the days get shorter, the sky turns greyer, the temperature drops and then just to cheer you up, the Autumn/Winter edition of the Little Marlow Parish newsletter lands on your door-mat! This is another bumper edition with lots of news about what has been going on in Little Marlow, what your Parish Council has been doing on your behalf and what some of our local organisations and clubs are up to. Regular readers will know that the Autumn/Winter edition usually includes a copy of the Annual Report which the Chairman gives every year at the Annual Parish meeting in May. If you want to know what your Parish Council has achieved in the past year, that would be a good place to start. Thanks in large part to Emma, our very active Clerk, the Council, has initiated a number of improvements around the Parish over the summer. Details are in the articles on the Spade Oak Car Park, the Brig (!), Abbotsbrook Hall and the Cemetery. We are conscious that the Pavilion is looking rather the worse for wear. Read the article on the Pavilion to see what we are going to do about it! The Pavilion provides a venue for a number of organisations including the Little Marlow Pre-school. I am sure that you will wish to join me in congratulating the Pre-school for winning a Highly Commended award in the Pre-school of the Year category in the annual National Nursery World awards.

    Bourne End Academy Headteacher: Mr L Muhammad New Road Bourne End Buckinghamshire SL8 5BW T: 01628 819022 F: 01628 810689 E: [email protected] www.E-ACT.org.uk Consultation 5 December 2019 Dear Parent/Carer Expansion of Catchment Area I am writing to advise that Bourne End Academy is consulting on changing its catchment area as of September 2021 to extend towards both the villages of Burnham/Farnham Royal and areas of West Wycombe. A plan of the proposed extension is attached for your information. The plan highlights where our existing catchment area is - marked with just a solid line and no shading; where Burnham Park Academy’s catchment area was - shaded in light blue with diagonal lines; and where the proposed extension is – both areas marked by diagonal lines on either side of our existing catchment. The extension into Burnham is in response to a request from Buckinghamshire County Council for Bourne End Academy to expand the catchment as a result of the Secretary of State for Education's recent decision to close Burnham Park Academy. Bourne End Academy is therefore proposing to expand its catchment area to include all areas of the former Burnham Park catchment. Following the closure of Burnham Park Academy, children from this area for whom Bourne End Academy is the closest school are now eligible for free transport to the school (provided they live further than 3 miles away or their walking route is deemed unsafe). The extension into the Great Marlow catchment area is to ensure children in rural parts of Buckinghamshire have sufficient choice of school to address peaks in demand and in response to the increased popularity of the school with parents.

  • Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a Resource Assessment
    Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a resource assessment Inheritance Mobility Although Neolithic populations are thought to have had continued mobility, more and more evidence for Neolithic settlement has come to light. In Buckinghamshire the most important evidence comes from excavations in advance of the construction of Eton Rowing Course (ERC) and the Maidenhead to Windsor and Eton Flood Alleviation Scheme (MWEFAS), mainly in the parish of Dorney in South Bucks on the Thames. The evidence points to intensive use of the area by people in the Early Neolithic but it is not certain that it represents year-round sedentary occupation rather than seasonal re-use (Allen et al 2004). Other evidence does point to continued mobility, such as the artefact scatters at Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham (Mitchell 2004) and East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990) for example, reflecting visits over a long period of time. Persistent places Mesolithic persistent places continue to have meaning for Early and later Neolithic populations. These persistent places include East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990, 18) and Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age activity at Chessvale Bowling Club nearby (Halsted 2006, 23-8). Another persistent place seems to have been the lower reaches of the River Colne. Recent excavations at the Sanderson Site, Denham (Halsey 2005) continued the activity from nearby Three Ways Wharf, Uxbridge (Lewis 1991). Other persistent places include the attractive river valley location at Bancroft in Milton Keynes (Williams 1993, 5), and Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham, where the River Thame meets one of its tributaries (Mitchell 2004, 1). These persistent places may have been the basis of evolving ideas about land tenure.
