  • Admission Arrangements for Community and Voluntary Controlled
    Admission arrangements for community and voluntary controlled primary, infant and junior schools 2021/2022 This policy applies for primary, infant and junior schools. The County Council has delegated to the governing bodies of individual community and voluntary controlled schools the decisions about which children to admit. Every community and voluntary controlled school must apply the County Council’s policy when dealing with these applications. Arrangements for applications for places in the normal year of intake (reception in primary and infant schools and year 3 in junior schools) will be made in accordance with Lincolnshire County Council's co‐ordinated admission arrangements. Lincolnshire residents can apply online via the parent portal at www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/schooladmissions, by telephone or by requesting a paper application. Residents in other areas must apply through their home local authority. Community and voluntary controlled schools will use the Lincolnshire County Council's co-ordinated scheme published online for these applications and the relevant Local Authority will make the offers of places on our behalf as required by the School Admissions Code (2014). Places will be allocated first to those who make an application before other children are considered. The published admission number of each school is outlined at the end of this document. Attending a nursery or a pre-school does not give any priority within the oversubscription criteria for a place in a school. Parents must make a separate application for the transfer from a nursery to a primary or infant school. Parents must also make a separate application for the transfer from an infant to a junior or primary school.

  • Large & Medium Size Farms
    VII THE PATTERN OF LAND OWNERSHIP AND FARMING IN GRASBY 1901 TO 1911 As well as the 1901 and 1911 censuses, the Land Tax Survey, made by Commissioners of the Inland Revenue in accordance with the Finance (1909/10) Act, 1910, provides the most detailed information about land ownership for this period since the enclosure records of nearly a century before. Sometimes known as “Lloyd George’s Domesday land-use survey”, its purpose was to raise tax. All properties were surveyed and valued. A 20% tax was then levied on any difference between the initial valuation and any future sale - a capital gains tax. Exemptions included farmland and plots smaller than 50 acres. Working maps, valuation maps, valuation books and field books were produced. Working maps and valuation books are available at the Lincoln Archives, but one has to go to the National Archives in Kew to see the valuation maps and field books. The population of Grasby fell to 355 in 1901, but had increased again slightly to 373 by 1911. The number of farmers resident in the parish, however, fell from 18 to 11 during this time. The land tax assessments not only provide information on the acreages of each farm, but also whether each field was owner-occupied or tenanted in 1910. Farming can be divided into three types in Grasby: large tenanted farms (200 acres+); medium size farms (30-199 acres) with, often, a mixture of owner -occupation and tenancy; and smallholders, also with a mixture of owner -occupation and tenancy. Large & Medium Size Farms By far the largest farm in 1910 was tenanted by Henry Dudding.

  • Our Resource Is the Gospel, and Our Aim Is Simple;
    Bolingbroke Deanery GGr raappeeVViinnee MAY 2016 ISSUE 479 • Mission Statement The Diocese of Lincoln is called by God to faithful worship, confident discipleship and joyful service. • Vision Statement To be a healthy, vibrant and sustainable church, transforming lives in Greater Lincolnshire 50p 1 Bishop’s Letter Dear Friends, Many of us will have experienced moments of awful isolation in our lives, or of panic, or of sheer joy. The range of situations, and of emotions, to which we can be exposed is huge. These things help to form the richness of human living. But in themselves they can sometimes be immensely difficult to handle. Jesus’ promise was to be with his friends. Although they experienced the crushing sadness of his death, and the huge sense of betrayal that most of them felt in terms of their own abandonment of him, they also experienced the joy of his resurrection and the happiness of new times spent with him. They would naturally have understood that his promise to ‘be with them’ meant that he would not physically leave them. However, what Jesus meant when he said that they would not be left on their own was that the Holy Spirit would always be with them. It is the Spirit, the third Person of the Holy Trinity, that we celebrate during the month of May. Jesus is taken from us, body and all, but the Holy Spirit is poured out for us and on to us. The Feast of the Holy Spirit is Pentecost. It happens at the end of Eastertide, and thus marks the very last transition that began weeks before when, on Ash Wednesday, we entered the wilderness in preparation for Holy Week and Eastertide to come.

That’s why we are inviting everyone in the parish to a party after 10 o’clock Easter Day service at Newton – for Easter is the happiest and most hopeful day of the year for Christians. But Jesus’ victory over the forces of death were bought at a price. Our Maundy Thursday service will remember the Last Supper, when Jesus dined with his friends the last night before he died. And we shall remember the way he washed the feet of his disciples – the Lord of all acting as a servant to his people and doing a menial task.
