  • Peterborough City Council School Organisation Plan “Delivering Local
    Peterborough City Council School Organisation Plan “Delivering Local Places for Local Children” 2018-2019 25 Foreword In Peterborough our absolute priority is that children and young people achieve the best outcomes possible and go on to succeed in further learning and in work. Crucial to this is the way that we work with schools and partners to plan and deliver a good quality place in learning for all across the City. The Council has a proven track record of working with a wide range of education providers to commission sufficient places to meet the needs of Peterborough’s residents and is committed to continuing this approach into the future. Peterborough is one of the fastest growing cities in the country, and faces significant pressures on education places as a result of both significant new housing development, as well as demographic change resulting from increased birth rates. The school organisation plan considers education provision in Peterborough across the 4 to 16 age range. We are delighted to present this school organisation plan to you, and would welcome your continued engagement with it. Clare Buckingham, Strategic Policy and Place Planning Manager If you would like any further information, or would like to discuss any part of the Education Organisation Plan in detail, please contact Clare Buckingham.

  • Executive Summary and Overview by the Chief Executive
    Appendix 1: Proposed Vivacity Business Plan 24.2.1 Executive Summary and Overview By The Chief Executive The next five years is a story with two themes. The first is one of business as usual. Given the nature of our work this is not surprising. The day to day work of Vivacity remains unchanged- lending almost 1 million items through our libraries; teaching 1500 children a week to swim; providing 1million people the opportunity to take part in sport; approaching 100,000 people learning about their local heritage and 55,000 theatre tickets sold each year. The second theme is one of change brought about by opportunities. Most significantly: Development of Hampton Leisure Facilities - It is probable that the management of two new leisure facilities will be offered to Vivacity in the summer of 2013. This will generate fantastic new opportunities for people to take part and increase our turnover dramatically and hence make a significant contribution to our central support costs. This must be balanced by the knowledge that it will bring tangible risks- the business model is primarily based on the selling of gym memberships in other words a non- fixed income. It is crucial that we approach the opportunity presented by these facilities with business focus rather than being attracted by the opportunity of growth for its own sake. If these projects move forward they will become the main focus of effort in 2013 and 2014. Must Farm Finds - The long term future for the Must Farm find is far from clear. What is known is that Flag Fen offers up a medium and perhaps longer term opportunity for the preservation and presentation of these fantastic artefacts.

  • Hampton Gardens Newsletter
    Issue 10 5 April 2019 HEAD OF SCHOOL’S NEWS Welcome to our April Newsletter which, again, is packed full of student events, activities, trips, visits, sport- ing successes and achievements. Every day the efforts and attitude of our students and the dedication of staff who enable them to reach their potential continues to impress me. This edition gives just some of the reasons why. It has been an incredibly busy and eventful term; my personal highlights included the collapsed day and the music and dance performance earlier in the week. Firstly, the collapsed day which involved the whole of Year 8 travelling to Hunstanton to complete some Geography fieldwork on coasts and sea defences. We were very lucky with the weather, which allowed the students to complete the activities with great success. Thank you Miss Dixon and Mr Ayling for organising this, it takes a lot of planning and co-ordination to get nearly 180 students in the right place at the right time. Whilst this was going on the Year 7s were treated to a STEM day organised by Mr Joyce and Mr Sandeman, which was a huge success with students talking about it for days after. Secondly, our dance and music performance, this was a very successful evening with over 70 students taking part. Thank you to all of you who attended to support the students so that they had an opportunity to show their talents to a live audience. Without doubt, there is a lot of talent in this school and I am looking forward to seeing these students develop over the coming years in future events.
