September 2020 Reopening Letter The Rudheath Senior Academy Middlewich Road, Rudheath, Northwich, Cheshire CW9 7DT Tel: 01606 42515 E-Mail: [email protected] Website: www.rudheathsenioracademy.org.uk Dear Parents/Carers, Re: Arrangements for September 2020 We welcome the decision by the government that will be mandatory for all students to return to school full time from September and the Rudheath staff team are looking forward to welcoming them back. Although the school will largely back to normal, there will be some changes. Schools have been asked to group students in bubbles by their respective year group. This means that students can have contact with others who are in the same year group only. In order to operate safely and within the government’s guidelines, Rudheath Senior Academy have had to rethink and reorganise some of the school day, as well as exploring issues around lesson transitions, breaks and lunchtimes. You can read the full government guidance here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/actions-for-schools-during-the- coronavirusoutbreak/guidance-for-full-opening-school The school will reopen to Year 7 students on Thursday 3rd September. All remaining students in Year 8 – Year 11 will return on Friday 4th September. Tuesday and Wednesday of this week will be dedicated to staff training and final preparations for the reopening of the building. Structure of School Day On arrival, Year 7 students will be directed to go through the designated Year 7 entrance on Middlewich Road and go straight to their new designated Year 7 hub. Staff will be on hand to direct students to where they need to be. Year 8 – 11 will enter through their designated entrance, also on Middlewich Road, where they will be directed to meet with their tutors and Heads of Year. Any students who arrive after 8.45am will need to enter via the new pastoral entrance on Shipbrook Road (old school reception). All students will receive their timetable on their first day in September which will explain where they will be learning. For students who have used a face covering on public transport, they will be asked to remove them upon arrival on the school premises. In line with national guidance, pupils will be instructed not to touch the front of their face covering during use or when removing them. They must sanitise their hands immediately on arrival (as is the case for all pupils), dispose of temporary face coverings in a covered bin or place reusable face coverings in a plastic bag they can take home with them, and then wash their hands again before heading to their classroom. Year Group Zones As you will know, Rudheath Senior Academy has undergone an extensive rebuilding project. The larger site has enabled us to place year groups into dedicated teaching zones around the building. In some areas, refurbishment projects are continuing during the next academic year, resulting in some classrooms being out of use. Students will still be taught in sets where this takes place and in options subjects for Years 10- 11 and therefore the majority of students will move between classrooms within their zone dependent on their set or options choices but won’t be taught in a classroom outside of their zone. We will adapt our plans in line with guidance from the Department for Education. Uniform Students should wear their full school uniform. Current guidance indicates that uniform do not need to be cleaned any more often than usual, nor do they need to be cleaned using methods which are different from normal. The only amendments to the uniform policy is that all students must wear black shoes. Students who arrive at school in trainers will be asked to go home and return in appropriate footwear. 01244 566167 [email protected] The Coach House, Union Street, Chester, CH1 1QP The Rudheath Senior Academy Middlewich Road, Rudheath, Northwich, Cheshire CW9 7DT Tel: 01606 42515 E-Mail: [email protected] Website: www.rudheathsenioracademy.org.uk SEND Support From September, we are preparing to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum for all our students, including educational and care support for those students who require additional support. This means we expect all students to return to school including those with additional needs. For those students with an Education, Health and Care Plan, their individual Risk Assessment will be reviewed in light of the government’s updated guidance for schools. Teaching assistants will try to maintain social distancing within the classroom wherever possible, intervening only as and when necessary to provide educational and care support to those students who require it. From September, Lydia Garrett will join Rudheath Senior Academy as Acting Assistant Headteacher and SENCo; she will continue to liaise and work with relevant external support agencies in order to enable specialist staff to work with students who require continued support. Safety Measures Rudheath Senior Academy has been working with the North West Academies Trust and Cheshire West and Chester Local Authority to ensure that the safety of our pupils is prioritised. As well as the organisational changes outlined above, we have conducted a full risk assessment which we will regularly review. We will also ask students to sanitise their hands every time they enter and leave a classroom. We will continue to review these measures and communicate with you accordingly. In the event of a future partial or full closure of the school, we will continue the curriculum remotely. Since March, we have delivered and refined our online education through Microsoft Teams. I hope that this information provides you with the reassurances you need and that the arrangements we have put in place will mean that students and staff will be as safe as possible. I know the first days and weeks of term will be a challenge for us all but we will soon get into a routine which will enable our students to enjoy their lessons following what has been a significant disruption to their normal way of learning. Upon their return, students will have access to our brand-new classrooms and see first-hand the ongoing progress and commitment that is being made to ensure their education and learning surroundings are what they deserve. Whilst Covid-19 may have restricted access to education in some ways, I am confident that this September will be a bright and fresh start for the school in the next step of our exciting journey. Any questions you may have will be answered in our weekly bulletin, which will be communicated home each Friday from the start of the next academic year. This will also provide important updates about Rudheath and any amendments to the organisational changes that have been outlined. In the meantime, I hope that all our families have an enjoyable and safe summer holidays. We look forward to welcoming you back in September. Yours Sincerely Lee Barber Headteacher 01244 566167 [email protected] The Coach House, Union Street, Chester, CH1 1QP .

This project is part of a wider pan Cheshire audit of youth arts including; a separate document also for East Cheshire, a sub-regional and county wide audit in Cheshire as well as a report analysis recommendations for youth arts for the future. This also precedes the new structure of Cheshire’s two county unitary authorities following LGR into East and West Cheshire and Chester, which will come into being in April 2009 An audit of this kind will never be fully accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date. Some data will be out-of-date or incorrect as soon as it’s printed or written, and we apologise for any errors or omissions. The youth arts audit aims to produce a snapshot of the activity that takes place in West Cheshire provided by the many arts, culture and youth organisations based in the county in the spring and summer of 2008– we hope it is a fair and balanced picture, giving a reasonable impression of the scale and scope of youth arts activities, organisations and opportunities – but it is not entirely exhaustive and does not claim to be.

  • Summary of Cheshire Moths: 2008-2013
    CHESHIRE (VICE COUNTY 58) SUMMARY OF CHESHIRE MOTHS: 2008-2013 Authors: Steve H. Hind and Steve Holmes Date: December 2015 Summary of Cheshire Moths 2008-2013 Introduction With the absence of an annual moth report for six years and following publication of the 2014 report earlier this year, we have attempted to bring together some of the main changes to the counties moth populations since the last county report for 2007. Individual Micro-moth reports were published for 2008 and 2009 in the Journal of the Lancashire & Cheshire Entomological Society, Volumes 133 & 134, for Sessions 2009 & 2010 of the Annual Report & Proceedings but this is the first report to include the counties macro-moths for those years. Unfortunately, the amount of work required to produce a similar type of document to the 2014 report would have taken well over a year or more to complete and as such a more selective approach has been taken; this translates to producing an account for just those species that have either: been reported on very few occasions, or have undergone significant changes, either in terms of distribution or population Summary No fewer than seven new macro-moth and 23 micro-moth species appeared for the first time in Cheshire during the period covered by this publication; an astonishing number brought about by Moth recording continuing to increase during the period, especially of micro-moths. We received a record 8,200 records of micro-moths in 2008, yet this more than doubled to 17,700 in 2013. There are a number of references, particularly within the accounts relating to macro-moths, where mention is made of either: the nth Cheshire record, or only ‘n’ records this century, or only ‘n’ Cheshire records To clarify these comments, they all relate to known, submitted, validated records within the County database.

  • The Open Fields of Cheshire
    THE OPEN FIELDS OF CHESHIRE BY DOROTHY SYLVESTER, M.A., F.R.G.S. /CHESHIRE has long lain in the no man's land of early \-s cultivation systems. In a borderland zone, and with the assembled information as to open arable lands limited to a few examples, it has been widely believed that common arable fields had little place in the development of Cheshire agronomy. H. L. Gray came nearest to the truth when he wrote in 1915 in English Field Systems that the vestiges of open common field mentioned in Tudor surveys suggested that earlier most hamlets in the county had had a certain amount of open arable land. Yet he only named twelve places in which it occurred. This opinion received little support from English historians and in 1938, the late Dr. C. S. Orwin's view was summed up in these words: "In Cumberland, Westmorland and Cheshire only a few scattered instances (i.e. of open field) have been found, those in Cheshire being mostly in the neighbourhood of Chester." (1) Nor was Orwin alone in assuming that it was correct to leave Cheshire almost a blank on the distribution map of open field in England. In the late 1940s a number of Manchester geographers began work on rural Cheshire from various angles and not by any means with the open-field question as their main concern. In particular, Mrs. Vera Chapman made a study of the Dee and Gowy valleys in Cheshire from which originated the paper Open Fields in West Cheshire, published in TRANSACTIONS Volume 104.

  • Woodlands, Heaths, Meres & Mosses
    LCT 1: WOODLANDS, HEATHS, MERES & MOSSES General Description This character type is defined by extensive blocks of woodland (mainly planted coniferous but with some broadleaves), interspersed with relict heath, and meres and mosses formed in glacial hollows. More recent water bodies have been created through the extraction of sand and gravel or the quarrying of sandstone. This is also a partly enclosed character type with large fields (over 8ha) defined by regular, straight hedgerow boundaries which in many places are growing out and in poor condition. The complex of meres, mosses and relict heathland is of internationally importance for nature conservation supporting species such as nightjar, common lizard, cross leaved heath and round- leaved sundew. There is considerable evidence of human activity in the area since prehistoric times. In particular the palaeo-environmental record preserved in the areas mere's and mosses is regionally significant with the potential to make a significant contribution to our understanding of the prehistoric landscape and its exploitation. Furthermore, concentrations of prehistoric lithics in the vicinity of the areas mere's and mosses highlights the potential for archaeological sites, dating from the prehistoric period, at their margins. This is in addition to the more substantial settlement and funerary sites in the wider landscape. This character type has a high level of recreational use and a large number of leisure facilities including golf courses and picnic sites as well as a major Forest Park that offers a visitor centre and open access areas. LCT 1: Woodland, Heaths, Meres & Mosses 20 Visual Character This is a landscape of strong contrasts.

  • Cheshire Plain East
    LCT 10: CHESHIRE PLAIN EAST General Description In many respects the Cheshire Plain East character type shares key characteristics with landscape character type 8 Cheshire Plain West, together forming a large expanse of flat and very slightly undulating, predominantly pastoral land covering a large proportion of the Cheshire West and Chester landscape, separated by the physical barrier of the prominent north-south Sandstone Ridge. There are subtle variations in character across the Cheshire Plain East reflected in it sub- division into four landscape character areas. The Cheshire Plain East landscape is part of the famous dairy farming countryside of Cheshire. It extends across the majority of the Cheshire West and Chester landscape to the east of Northwich and to the south of Winsford. Fields are small (less than 4ha) to medium sized (up to approximately 8ha) with a mixed regular and semi-regular pattern of ancient enclosure and post medieval improvement, more recently by intensive farming practices. Woodland cover is low, with small, mixed broadleaved and coniferous copses and coverts, some ancient, scattered intermittently across the landscape between a strong network of low cut thorn hedges punctuated by hedgerow trees in abundance, and occasional riparian woodland. Mature wooded parkland around Bostock Hall is an exception. Large numbers of field ponds, formed during the 19th century when pits were dug to extract marl for improving fields, are a common feature of the plain. The area is drained by drainage ditches and LCT 10: Cheshire Plain East 302 a small number of natural brooks, some within minor valleys that provide local undulations in the landscape.
