Brockington Bulletin June and July 2015 Edition Website: www.brockington.leics.sch.uk | Facebook: www.facebook.com/brockingtoncollege | Twitter: www.twitter.com/brockingtoncoll Brockington Bulletin June and July 2015 Edition As you are all aware, it has been an immensely busy year at Brockington College. It does seem as though most of us have been taking on two jobs rather than one, as we prepare to become an 11-16 school as well as running a successful 11-14 school. Mr Chris Southall , Principal Our aim this year has been to maintain and even improve upon those high standards, whilst preparing for an historic change at the college. To add to the challenge, we wanted to do this without pupils, parents and carers feeling that Brockington is “all about 11-16 preparation”. I am confident that we have achieved our aims for the year and have a number of positive outcomes that demonstrate this is the case: Excellent achievement and progress made by the pupils in all year groups, with our highest levels in English at the end of Year 9. Standards of teaching at the college that are higher than ever. Your children are taught by good or outstanding teachers across the curriculum. Extra-curricular opportunities that are second to none. Alice in Wonderland, Sports Day, sports teams and an extensive range of clubs and trips testify to this, as well as our emphasis on our values. Ever increasing popularity as an 11-16 college. We were over-subscribed by 50 pupils who will unfortunately not be able to join us at the start of Year 7 and we have 289 of our 309 current Year 9 pupils staying with us next year, whilst an extra 25 pupils have joined us mid-year. This has all been achieved whilst preparing the college for next year, and our additional work has resulted in the: Employment of 25 further members of staff of the highest quality. Preparation of schemes of work across a wide and balanced Key Stage 4 curriculum (Year 10 and Year 11). Preparation for pupils to experience vocational courses at South Leicestershire College, Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award, GCSE Dance, trips to South Africa, China or Iceland and a wide variety of other enrichment opportunities. Sourcing of a further 17 classrooms and a Year 10 canteen area. Balancing of a school budget in times of increasing austerity, whilst receiving no additional central government financial support as we tackle age range change. Your child is at an amazing school with members of staff that care deeply about the If you do feel able to register your thanks with any member of staff prior to the end of children that they serve. With your support, we will continue to develop your children term, I know how hard that they have worked this year and I know that they would next year and in future years and I wish all parents/carers and pupils a very happy appreciate your support. summer.

  • School Travel Plans – Update
    REPORT AGENDA ITEM 9 LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL HIGHWAYS FORUM FOR HARBOROUGH 8TH DECEMBER 2009 SCHOOL TRAVEL PLANS – UPDATE REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF HIGHWAYS TRANSPORTATION AND WASTE MANAGEMENT Introduction 1. The purpose of this report is to update Members of the Forum on the progress being made within the County on developing School Travel Plans and the implementation of associated highway schemes. Background 2. Over the past 20 years, the number of children travelling to school by car has almost doubled and the Department for Transport (DfT) has estimated that, in urban areas in term time, nearly one in five cars at 8.50 am is on the school run. The County Council has been working with schools to develop travel plans through the Local Transport Plan (LTP) since March 2000. School Travel Plans aim to reduce the number of cars arriving at the school gate, mainly by developing initiatives to improve the safety and convenience of alternative travel modes. 3. The LTP sets out a target for 90% of schools in Leicestershire to have completed a travel plan by the end of 2010/11. 4. In September 2003, the DfT and the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) launched the ‘Travelling to School Initiative’. A government grant is paid to each school when its Travel Plan is approved (excluding independent schools). Grants for primary and secondary schools differ. The grant for primary schools is £3,750 plus £5 per pupil and for secondary schools it is £5,000 plus £5 per pupil. This grant has to be spent within the school to promote sustainable travel and cannot be spent on the highway.

  • Home to School Transport Eligibility Changes from September 2015
    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for parents Home to School Transport eligibility changes from September 2015 Leicestershire County Council is changing its mainstream home to school transport policy for pupils who will start school for the first time or transfer to a secondary school in September 2015. The following questions are to help parents understand these changes. Why does the Council need to change its school transport policy? The Government has encouraged schools to become academies and these national changes have altered the education landscape significantly and there are now a number of academies across Leicestershire. Academies and free schools can choose to change their age ranges and their admission catchment areas, and a number have already chosen to do this or are planning changes. This means that many admission catchment and transport eligibility areas overlap. The Council’s transport policy needs to reflect these changes where they have occurred and be clear on the transport arrangements which will apply if schools change in the future. You may already be aware that we need to save over £110 million over the next five years. Although these latest proposals are not expected to save money now, they may reduce the risk of increasing costs in the future by avoiding multiple transport eligibility where schools and academies have overlapping catchment areas. Did the Council consult on proposals to change? Yes – there were two public consultations - the first during February and March 2014 and the second in April and May 2014. We asked for views on proposals to change the existing policy. Just over 2,000 responses were received during the first consultation which proposed moving to a ‘nearest school only’ policy.
