The Green, Devizes, Wiltshire, SN10 3AG Principal: Mr Phil Bevan BSc, NPQH Tel: 01380 724886 Fax: 01380 720955 Email: [email protected] www.devizesschool.co.uk @DevizesSchool September 2019 Dear Parent/Guardian, I am writing to invite you to the Year 7 ‘settling-in’ meeting that will take place on Thursday 10th October 2019 in the Learning Resource Centre (LRC). This is a great opportunity to come into school and meet your son/daughter’s tutor and discuss how they have settled in to Devizes School. We encourage students to attend with their parents. Tutors will have feedback from subject teachers and will be able to share this with you during the meeting. In addition to the time with the tutor there will be the opportunity to meet staff to discuss the following: Go 4 Schools – Mrs Carter Year Pastoral Support – led by Mrs Gough Accelerated Reading Programme – led by Mrs Eagle There will also be additional displays and information on how to get the best out of the opportunities at Devizes School. The tutor appointment slots are strictly five minutes long and will run from 4.00 – 7.00pm. Please discuss this with your son/daughter and ask them to book an appointment with their tutor. If you feel you need a longer appointment, please arrange this with your child’s tutor on an alternative date. I appreciate that the time of the appointments is, for many parents during the working day, but would ask that if possible you rearrange your commitments to attend. Parents have in previous years found it very valuable. Success at school is a partnership between students, parents and staff at the school. Therefore, as we begin our journey together at Devizes School, we believe that it is vitally important to get this relationship off to a strong start and look forward to seeing you. Please complete the reply slip and ask your son/daughter to return it to their tutor. We look forward to meeting you on the 10th October. Yours sincerely, Mrs K Carter Raising Achievement Leader for Year 7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please complete and return to your child’s Tutor I am able/unable to attend the Year 7 settling in meeting (please delete as appropriate) Name of Parent__________________________ Name of Student_________________________ Tutor Group___________ Time of appointment ______________ (to be completed by tutor) Proud to be part of The White Horse Federation Multi-Academy Trust _______________________________________________________________ _______ The White Horse Federation Central Office, Plymouth Street, Swindon, Wiltshire SN1 2LB Tel: 01793 818603 • www.thewhitehorsefederation.org.uk • Company Number: 8075785 .

The present figure was preceded by a much older version at the same site, the date and origin of which are unknown. Legend has it that it was cut as a memorial to one of King Alfred’s victories over the Danes at the battle of Etahndun in 878 AD. The car park above the Westbury White Horse can be reached either via a street named Newtown in Westbury, which also carries a brown sign pointing the way to Bratton Camp and the White Horse (turn left at the crossroads at the top of the hill), or via Castle Road in Bratton, both off the B3098. Start at the top of the escarpment in the open area in front of the car park containing two benches, with the White Horse clearly visible to your right. There are fine views here over the vale below.

Visitor Toolkit
THE NORTH WESSEX DOWNS AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY Promotional Toolkit Issue 1 Photograph: Gary Prictor Fast and free access to the promotional resources you need to help boost visitor numbers Overview of The North Wessex Downs Photograph: North Wessex Downs The North Wessex Downs is a tranquil yet stunning landscape of rolling chalk downlands, forests, woods and dales. Beech woodland crowns the tops of many of the downs providing wonderful panoramic views for miles around. Thinly populated, the downs project a feeling of remoteness and timelessness. In the vast skies above, skylarks, lapwings and majestic birds of prey can be seen. The world famous Uffington White Horse and Avebury Stone circle are located on the Ridgeway path running across the north of the region along with many other ancient barrows and hill forts. Close to major conurbations, the Downs is the ideal place to get away from it all and enjoy the freedom of the countryside while respecting the environment. There are many footpaths, horse riding trails and cycle paths criss-crossing the landscape and taking in many of the best views and ancient monuments. If you prefer to travel by water you can hire a canal boat or go Photograph: North Wessex Downs Photograph: Anne Seth canoeing along the Kennet and Avon Canal. The North Wessex Downs has a great industrial heritage. At the Crofton Pumping Station on the Kennet and Avon Canal, you can see the world’s oldest steam engines or visit the only working windmill in Wessex at Wilton. There are also fine country houses.
