Newsletter Issue 7 February 2007 PARENTS’ NEWSLETTER – ISSUE 7 FEBRUARY 2007 TERM DATES 2006/07 2007 Term 3 Monday 8 January – Friday 16 February 2007 Term 4 Monday 26 February – Friday 30 March 2007 Term 5 Monday 16 April – Friday 25 May 2007 Term 6 Monday 4 June – Friday 20 July 2007 REMAINING TEACHER DEVELOPMENT DAYS 2006/07 Friday 22 June 2007 Monday 23 July 2007 Tuesday 24 July 2007 SCHOOL CLOSURES – THURSDAY 8 FEBRUARY AND FRIDAY 9 FEBRUARY 2007 Closing a school for any reason is not a decision taken lightly. The knock-on effects of any closure create major inconvenience for families and the normal smooth running of our school. A number of important activities both for students and staff have had to be rescheduled (where possible) or cancelled altogether. The Year 8 Parent/Subject Teacher Consultation Evening has been rescheduled for Thursday 15 March 2007. Letters and appointment sheets will be reissued by the Key Stage 3 team in Term 4. The decision to close Bradon Forest last Thursday was taken at 6.40 am after consultation and inspection of the site and access to the school. The road including The Peak is not treated as it is classed as residential and not a priority. Access and conditions, both on the sloped entrance to The Peak, plus in and around the site, were not safe. Delivery lorries and several cars were unable to gain access. Our rural position and very open car park with its narrow access point exacerbated the situation and made the site conditions difficult. When a closure decision is made it needs to be made early enough to ensure radio stations are alerted (BBC Local Radio, GWR and Brunel FM were broadcasting our decision from 7.00 am) and families are aware of the position as soon as possible. The school’s contact system was put into operation at 6.45 am and completed by 7.00 am. Conditions on site remained poor during the morning but began to improve during the afternoon. In light of weather information, including from the RAF, we were expecting to be open on Friday. Our contact system was put into operation again that afternoon to inform everyone that we planned to be open. Site conditions were checked late Thursday evening and it looked positive. Unfortunately, the freezing overnight conditions made the access and site conditions even worse than on the previous day. After consultation, and due to safety concerns regarding buses, cars and people on site, the decision was taken to close at 6.40 am and our alert system was activated. The hard work put in by our site team on Thursday – clearing paths, slopes, walkways, steps, etc – was cancelled out. The weather deteriorated further after 8.30 am and site conditions worsened over the morning. The decision made on each day was taken regardless of other schools’ decisions or the media. Each decision was properly based on the conditions at the Bradon Forest School site, with the safety of all concerned and the interests of the school community at the forefront. NEW ANTI- BULLYING CHARTER As part of our ongoing pastoral work, we are remodelling our Anti-Bullying Charter. As well as our three bully boxes located around the school, we have also introduced an on-line bully box on Learning Platforms for Years 7 and 10. Students are now able to report any bullying directly, and in confidence, to their Head of Year. This can be done from home too. Year 10 peer mentors are also specially trained to act as buddies to Year 7 students and are able to help deal with bullying incidents. Students have already participated in PSHE lessons in which their opinions were sought, and staff have been involved in giving their ideas to the Charter too. We would like to involve parents in this consultation process. Below is a copy of our Anti-Bullying Charter which is to be amended. If you would like to comment on this please could you access our school Learning Platform through the school’s website (www.bradonforest.wilts.sch.uk) and follow the link to the Learning Community. To view and take part in the survey you will need to log on using your child’s username (STU) and password. Parents of students in Year 7 and 10 will be able to access this immediately and those of students in Years 8 and 9 will be able to access this in the first week of next term. If any parent, especially those of Year 11 students, cannot access the Learning Platform and would like to take part in the survey, please contact Helen Wilkinson. Once feedback has been collated, the Charter will be presented to the School Council for any final adjustments to be made prior to going to the Governing Body for adoption. As with our School Rules and Rights and Responsibilities, the Charter will be displayed in every classroom around the school. Thank you for your support. BRADON FOREST SCHOOL ANTI-BULLYING CHARTER There are three Bully Boxes around the school for confidential referrals. All referrals are treated seriously and discreetly. A group of older students have formed a counselling committee to assist bullies and victims of bullying. Anti-bullying referral forms are available to staff to assist with very serious matters. Anti-Bullying Charter We, as students, have the right: 1. To be free from bullying, in school and in our towns and villages. 2. To travel peacefully and in safety to and from school. 3. To express our concerns to staff and parents in the confidence that they will be treated seriously. 4. To play a significant part in the development of anti-bullying strategies. We, as students, have an obligation: 1. To report bullying. 2. To support friends and fellow students who are the victims of bullying. 3. To respect the well-being and property of other students. We, as parents, will be diligent in: 1. Listening to the anxieties of our sons and daughters. 2. Reporting a difficulty to the School however trivial the problem may seem to be. 3. Ensuring that the School’s subsequent actions have been effective. We, as staff, must: 1. Keep alert to the possibility of bullying. 2. Ensure that the bullies and the bullied are treated appropriately. 3. Enable all interested parties to be informed. 4. Give all students the confidence that we will listen to, support and help them. Finally, we are associated with a school which is determined to be vigilant about bullying, so that decisive and quick action can be taken to eliminate it. INTERNET MISUSE AT HOME A few parents have raised concerns over the last few months about their children’s use of the Internet at home, eg sites such as ‘Bebo’, ‘MySpace’ and ‘chatroom’ facilities. The school network blocks access to these sites in school and attempting to access them via proxy servers is against our student internet use policy (this is recommended by government ICT agencies). Some students have used these sites from their home computer and some misuse has taken place. This has included cyber bullying, name calling and in a very few extreme cases, sites and threads have been devoted to insulting, mocking and bullying of others. There have been a series of assemblies on safe internet use and the abuse of these sites. On one occasion this misuse has involved the police as it is a criminal act. This issue has surfaced in a large number of schools nationally and it is important that parents are aware of this issue. Parents need to inform us if they are aware of misuse of these sites from home as this can create consequences and problems in school. It would be valuable for parents to monitor the use of home computers so as to avoid the impact of this negative and unacceptable activity. NEWS OF PAST BRADON FOREST STUDENTS We were delighted to learn that five ex-Bradon students have been offered Oxbridge places: Charlotte Booth Cirencester College Cambridge Holly Dowling Cirencester College Oxford Mary Matthews New College Swindon Oxford Nicholas Taylor Cirencester College Cambridge Andrew Tedstone New College Swindon Cambridge YEAR 10 SHORT COURSE RELIGIOUS STUDIES All Year 10 students who are studying Short Course RS are encouraged to attend a series of workshops which will be led by Mrs Shelley and Mr Winward in the lead-up to their examinations in May. A letter will be issued by Mrs Shelley nearer the time outlining the nature of the sessions and times/places to meet. Students will be required to sign-up to the workshops as and when they are promoted by their RS teachers during lesson time. We have found that students who attend these sessions benefit greatly and that it is often reflected in the number of high grade examination passes that students obtain. 19 April 2007 Session 1 Christian Perspectives 26 April 2007 Session 2 Christian Perspectives 3 May 2007 Session 3 Christian Perspectives 10 May 2007 Session 4 Sikhism 22 May 2007 Session 5 Sikhism Please note that examinations take place on the first day back after Work Experience Week. They are as follows: Monday, 21 May 2007 Christian Perspectives Wednesday, 23 May 2007 Sikhism MATHEMATICS Key Stage 3 On 13 February a small group of able Year 7 mathematicians took part in a morning of sessions at Hardenhuish School in Chippenham. They were joined by able Year 7 students from six other North Wiltshire schools. The two sessions dealt with new areas of mathematics not covered in the KS3 curriculum and gave students a chance to work with a large group of similarly gifted mathematicians.

  • Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the Differences Between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas
    Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the differences between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas This document should be read in conjunction with the School Places Strategy 2017 – 2022 and provides an explanation of the differences between the Wiltshire Community Areas served by the Area Boards and the School Planning Areas. The Strategy is primarily a school place planning tool which, by necessity, is written from the perspective of the School Planning Areas. A School Planning Area (SPA) is defined as the area(s) served by a Secondary School and therefore includes all primary schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into that secondary school. As these areas can differ from the community areas, this addendum is a reference tool to aid interested parties from the Community Area/Area Board to define which SPA includes the schools covered by their Community Area. It is therefore written from the Community Area standpoint. Amesbury The Amesbury Community Area and Area Board covers Amesbury town and surrounding parishes of Tilshead, Orcheston, Shrewton, Figheldean, Netheravon, Enford, Durrington (including Larkhill), Milston, Bulford, Cholderton, Wilsford & Lake, The Woodfords and Great Durnford. It encompasses the secondary schools The Stonehenge School in Amesbury and Avon Valley College in Durrington and includes primary schools which feed into secondary provision in the Community Areas of Durrington, Lavington and Salisbury. However, the School Planning Area (SPA) is based on the area(s) served by the Secondary Schools and covers schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into either The Stonehenge School in Amesbury or Avon Valley College in Durrington.

  • Proposal to Join the Athelstan Trust As Part of a Multi Academy Trust
    Proposal to join the Athelstan Trust as part of a Multi Academy Trust Consultation Consultation for all stakeholders learners, staff, parents/carers, community Sir William Romney’s School Key Dates: Consultation starts: 30th September 2019 Consultation ends: 4th November 2019 Deadline for support, views, questions and concerns: Stakeholder/Parent Information Evenings: 1. Engagement Forum: Wednesday 9th October (during Year 8 and 9 Information Evening) 2. Engagement Event: Wednesday 21st October at 6pm in the Main Hall 1 Frequently Asked Questions What is an Academy? An academy is an independent state school that is run by an Academy Trust, a legal body operating similarly to a charity. Whilst the academy is funded directly by the Government, it is no longer run by the Local Authority. This means that academies have more freedom and control over the school curriculum, hours, and term dates. The Academy Trust enters into an agreement with the Secretary of State for Education that sets out its responsibilities and accountabilities for the effective running of the academy. What is a Multi-Academy Trust? (MAT) A Multi-Academy Trust is a legal entity that governs a group of schools through a single set of trustees. It is set up by a group of schools, usually a local collaboration, that share a common ethos and vision. A MAT is accountable for all academies within the group. Academies are answerable to the Trustees and to the Department for Education (DfE) rather than to the Local Authority. A MAT is a charitable company, limited by guarantee. This means that it is registered at Companies House.

  • Newsletter Issue 4
    Dear Parents PARENTS’ NEWSLETTER – ISSUE 4 NOVEMBER 2009 INTRODUCTION As most of you will be aware, one of our school buses, the B8 that serves Sparcells and Peatmoor, was involved in an accident with a tractor on Monday 16 November 2009. Fortunately the injuries were not as serious as they could have been. Three Year 8 girls were taken to hospital, two were discharged that evening returning to school the next day. The third Year 8 girl had a dislocated shoulder and needed surgery to remove glass from her hand. Difficult situations such as this can bring out the best in a community. I would like to thank all staff, the emergency services, parents and students for their support, kindness and consideration during a very difficult 48 hours for the B8 students, their families and the Bradon Forest community. (The letter to parents/press release that we produced has been put on the school website www.bradonforest.wilts.sch.uk under the newsletter section as Parents’ Newsletter Issue 3A.) BRADON FOREST STUDENT, PARENT AND STAFF SURVEYS As a school we regularly run a number of surveys and questionnaires each year on a variety of specific issues. However, it is five years since we ran a whole school survey for parents, students and staff. Earlier this week, questionnaires were distributed to all students, parents and staff. Your son/daughter would have brought home an envelope containing the parental questionnaire with a white return envelope. The student questionnaires contain a brown return envelope. When you have completed your parental questionnaire, please put the form in the white envelope, seal it, and your child should hand these in to his/her tutor.
