Working in conjunction with Wycombe High School the academy has been transformed and can now move forward confidently. From September 1 it will become part of the E-Act Multi Academy Trust, a charitable company which currently runs a network of 26 academies in the UK. In 2013 Wye Valley School was placed in Special Measures. Since then, as Bourne End Academy, it has benefitted from excellent leadership, improved structure and significant investment in teaching and learning resources. Results have improved and pupils at the school now achieve progress levels above those of many local competitor schools. Pupil applications for next year look healthy, despite the competition created by increased capacity at other local schools. There is no doubt that Bourne End Academy can now go from strength to strength. Formerly part of Wycombe High School Academies Trust, when the school moves on to be part of E-Act students in Year 12 and attending Wycombe High School will still be able to complete their Year Students gave their own views on personal 13 studies. achievements in dance, creative writing, launching Mike Curtis, the school’s chairman of governors, The Buzz school magazine and gaining confidence. said that the school is grateful for the superb work Teachers praised students who went out of school and dedication shown by so many to achieve this on educational trips saying that they were “true transformation. ambassadors”.

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.

    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.
