The school takes students from the immediate area as well as from the northern part of Walsall and the areas of Bloxwich and Heath Hayes. There are 1163 students on roll, of which 142 are in the sixth form. There are 590 boys and 573 girls. This is larger than the national average for secondary schools. The school is oversubscribed. The attainment of students when they first come to the school is broadly average. There are 10.6 per cent of pupils on the special educational needs register of which 2.2 per cent have statements of special educational need. These figures are below the national average. The percentage of students claiming free school meals, at 6.9 per cent, is low compared to the national average. HOW GOOD THE SCHOOL IS Great Wyrley has maintained the good standards reported at the time of the previous inspection. It is an effective school. The quality of teaching is good, with a significant proportion of teaching that is very good. Students achieve results, which are in line with the national average. The school has a clear set of values and aims, which direct its work. Students’ behaviour and attitudes towards their learning are very good. The headteacher is an experienced leader who has not only raised standards but also improved the popularity of the school in the local community. The governing body of the school provides effective support and has a clear commitment to further improvement. Overall the school gives good value for money. What the school does well · The provision for the sixth form is very good. · Students show very positive attitudes towards their learning. Relationships between staff and students are a strength of the school. · It provides a caring and supportive ethos in which individuals are valued. · It provides a curriculum that is well matched to the needs of its students. · The overall quality of teaching is good and this contributes to the progress students make in lessons. · The headteacher has provided good leadership over many years and established a strong sense of commitment amongst the staff to the welfare and personal development of the students. · Strong links with the community are used effectively to enhance students’ learning and to increase their knowledge of the world of work. What could be improved · The overall provision to support students with special educational needs. · The overall effectiveness of management to ensure that monitoring procedures are effective in identifying, sharing and developing good practice across the school. · A shared and clear strategy to further improve the school over the next three to four years. · More effective use of assessment and evaluation data to help establish targets and strategies to improve standards further. The areas for improvement will form the basis of the governors’ action plan. HOW THE SCHOOL HAS IMPROVED SINCE ITS LAST INSPECTION The school was previously inspected in December 1997. Since that time it has made satisfactory progress overall. There are a clear set of priorities which are known and shared by staff and a structure which links departmental development planning to overall school priorities. However, the strategies for achieving these priorities are less clear. As a consequence there is inconsistency in practice in implementing school policies. The school has worked hard to improve standards, particularly in Years 7-9 and the overall trend in results in these years is higher than that found nationally. A range of strategies have been put in place to improve the performance of boys and, although the 2002 results showed boys doing significantly less well than girls in some subjects, in lessons this was not the case. Standards in Years 10 and 11 have been maintained but the overall trend, in terms of the average point scores of students, is less than that seen nationally. There have been improvements in the curriculum in Years 10 and 11 and in the sixth form by the introduction of more vocationally based courses. The provision for information and communication technology (ICT), Great Wyrley High School - 6 has improved and statutory requirements are now met. Despite financial limitations there have been considerable improvements in the refurbishment and effective use of the available accommodation. STANDARDS The table shows the standards achieved by pupils at the end of Year 11 and sixth form students at the end of Year 13 based on average point scores in GCSE and A-level/AS-level examinations. compared with Key Performance in: all schools similar well above average A schools 2000 2001 2002 2002 above average B average C GCSE examinations B C C D below average D well below average E A-levels/AS-levels A A In 2002 standards of attainment, by the end of Year 9, were above the national average in mathematics and science but in line in English. In 2002 the results in mathematics and science were below those of similar schools and well below in English. Boys did better than girls in mathematics and science, whilst girls did better in English. These results are not typical of previous years when the gap between girls and boys was not significantly different to that nationally. The trend in results for the last few years has been improving at a slightly higher rate than that nationally. Students’ progress in the first three years of school is good overall. In 2002 GCSE examination results, in terms of average point scores, were at the national average but below similar schools.

The applicant has not taken into account db symmetry’s proposals which are coming forward for the Hinckley National Rail Freight Interchange (HNRFI) at junction 2 of the M69. This scheme is considered to be a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP). It should be noted that this proposal is located within 5 miles of Nuneaton which is in the West Midlands. On this basis the Hinckley proposal is perfectly positioned to absorb a percentage of the capacity deemed to be essential at Four Ashes to service the Arc of the West Midlands. Accordingly, the scale of the West Midlands Interchange could be decreased. Paragraph 2.1 (b) states that the need for a SRFI development in this quadrant of the West Midlands has been identified since, at least, 2004. Identified by the Strategic Rail Authority 2004, the Strategic Rail Authority, West Midlands Regional Logistics Study; and successive drafts of the West Midlands Regional Spatial strategy which included conclusions of the appointed Examining Panel.

  • 2037 Spatial Housing Strategy & Infrastructure Delivery
    SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE COUNCIL – LOCAL PLAN REVIEW – 2018 - 2037 SPATIAL HOUSING STRATEGY & INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY – OCTOBER 2019 LAND AT LANDYWOOD – GREAT WYRLEY KGL (HOLDINGS ) LTD: Mr C WALLACE & Mrs SNAPE 1. I refer to the above consultation and confirm that I act for the owners, as above, of the land identified on the attached plan . 2. Firstly, the approach in the Review which states that areas of safeguarded land will become housing land allocations, is welcomed and endorsed . In the context of my client’s land which is already allocated and safeguarded, this will enable a comprehensive scheme for these areas to come forward, consistent with the need to ensure public safety within the areas concerned. 3. However, my clients wish their land, as above, to be considered for future housing development either independently or, in association with the above land parcels, as part of an overall comprehensive scheme thereby providing the potential to incorporate employment and other uses, as appropriate, in a highly sustainable location. 4. The land parcels concerned which are owned by KGL (Holdings) Ltd., have previously been considered in the 2018 SHELAA (site refs. 136 and 137) and categorised as “potentially suitable”. 1 5. It is noted that the Green Belt Study 2019 (GBS) assesses the impact upon the green belt of development on the land east of Upper Landywood Lane now being promoted as “moderate” , with the following explanation: “The sub-parcel (S21A) makes a strong contribution to preventing sprawl of the large built-up area of Cannock/Great Wyrley and to preventing encroachment on the countryside, and a moderate contribution to maintaining the separation between the neighbouring towns of Great Wyrley and Bloxwich.

  • Community Testing in South Staffordshire
    Community Testing in South Staffordshire South Staffordshire has seen a surge in coronavirus cases over the past few weeks, and we all need to do everything we can to stop it in its tracks. One of the ways we can do this is by finding out how much the virus is circulating in the local community. We do this by testing people who aren’t currently showing any symptoms of COVID-19. Since September 1, around 400 people have tested positive for the virus and cases are continuing to rise. There has been no one single source of infection as transmissions have been identified within and between households, care homes, schools and businesses. The Government has announced further restrictions for parts of the country and unless South Staffordshire turns the situation around, we too could soon face tougher measures that will affect people’s lives and livelihoods. To bring the rate of cases down, people are being urged to strictly follow the national rules and do what they can in their local communities to help reduce the spread of infection. HANDS FACE SPACE Additional testing is being made available to try and identify people who may have been infected. We’re calling on you to help us with this work, by getting tested if you don’t currently have any symptoms. Testing is quick and free, and is taking place in your area on Thursday 22 October and Saturday 24 October at: Scout Hut, Walsall Road, Great Wyrley - Thursday 22 October 4.30pm-6.30pm Essington Community Centre - Saturday 24 October 10am-2pm Scout Hut, Walsall Road, Great Wyrley - Saturday 24 October 10am-2pm 100 appointments are available for the Thursday afternoon, and 200 appointments for each of the Saturday locations are available, but must be booked in advance here: www.staffordshire.gov.uk/coronavirus under Book a Test.

  • Warning Issued to Act Now As South Staffordshire Cases Rise Rapidly
    Warning issued to act now as South Staffordshire cases rise rapidly People in South Staffordshire are being strongly urged to stick to the COVID-19 guidance, after a sharp rise in cases in the district. We are currently rated as Medium under the new guidance, our numbers are increasing and we are at risk of us tipping into high restriction rules. Since September 1, around 400 people have tested positive for the virus and cases are continuing to rise. There has been no one single source of infection as transmissions have been identified within and between households, care homes, schools and businesses. There are no additional restrictions being advised at this stage, but leaders say everyone must re-double their efforts to protect the most vulnerable and avoid additional Government restrictions already affecting places like Wolverhampton and Birmingham. To bring the rate of cases down, people are being urged to strictly follow the national rules and do what they can in their local communities to help reduce the spread of infection. HANDS FACE SPACE Additional testing is being made available to try and identify people who may have been infected. Two testing sites will be available on Saturday 17 October from 10am - 2pm Cheslyn Hay Leisure Centre, Saredon Road, Cheslyn Hay, WS6 7JQ Great Wyrley Scout and Guide Centre, Walsall Road, Great Wyrley, WS6 6LA You need to book online at www.staffordshire.gov.uk/coronavirus under Book a Test. Asymptomatic tests are available. Dr Johnny McMahon, Staffordshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Health, Care and Wellbeing, said: “Cases in South Staffordshire are rising and unless people act now there is a risk of the government stepping in with additional restrictions.
