School Games Level 3 Winter Games - New Age Kurling Competition The New Age Kurling level 3 competition was held at Lavington School on 15 January and was the first Level 3 Winter Games of 2015. The competition was attended by competitors from Uplands, St Edmunds, Lavington, Devizes, Exeter House and Avon Valley secondary schools. All the athletes were from the SEN groups within each school as New Age Kurling is one of the fastest growing sports in the country and specifically designed to be all-inclusive allowing disabled and non-disabled athletes to compete against each other with an equal chance of winning. New Age Kurling is a form of the original curling game, but adapted so that it can be played indoors on any smooth, flat surface, such as a sports hall, rather than on ice. Devizes School The competition was only made possible with the assistance of the Young Leaders from Lavington School who gave up their day to help organise, score and officiate the competition. They were a real credit to the school and themselves. Fun was had by all and everyone enjoyed the day with there being some great battles and use of cunning tactics to win the games. Winners of the competition were; 1st Place - Avon Valley College team 2 2nd Place - Avon Valley College team 1 3rd Place - Uplands school team 1 All the winners were presented medals and the Avon Valley College first team received trophies. Everyone had a great time and Sally and Leah from St Edmunds were celebrating their win with a high five to each other! Winners from Avon Valley College Schools entered multiple teams with 2 players each team. Devizes x 4 teams Lavginton x 3 teams St Edmunds x 3 teams Exeter House x 5 teams Uplands x 7 teams Avon Valley x 2 teams Lavington Young volunteers x 13 year 9’s .

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.

Area Board Project
Reference No Log No Cllr: 001/10 For Office Use Area Board Project 1. What is the project? Careers Guidance A project to build upon the success of the mentoring programme at Devizes School including improving provision for careers guidance The Devizes area board are asked to support the project and provide 50% of the funding (£2,500). The other 50% will be provided by Devizes School 2. Background Links between business and Devizes School were strengthened through the introduction of a mentoring scheme in 2012. This proved to be successful and the area board piloted in 2013 the employment of a consultant to focus upon improving this further. During 2014, this project has resulted in improved careers guidance, a stronger focus on apprenticeships and most importantly helping to secure the future of students, preparing them for entering the world of work. The number of businesses taking part has greatly increased. A successful careers fair was held at the school and this was well attended by businesses and students. This model’s success has been recognised outside the Devizes area and other community areas are now looking to replicate it. 3. Proposal It is proposed that Margaret Bryant (current consultant) who has good links with Devizes School and local businesses is hired to continue this important work and build upon this success. 4. Where is the project taking place? Devizes School. 5. When will the project take place? 1 Funding is currently available up until the end of March 2015. This will allow the project to be continued for another year 6.

Quakers Road, Devizes Appreciating the Context
3 Quakers Road, Devizes Appreciating the context Existing land use The site lies in an area of currently undeveloped land to the north of Devizes town centre. To the north of the site is the existing Quakers Road residential development; to the east is Wiltshire Police Headquarters; to the south- east is an area of playing fields associated with Devizes Sport Club; and to the south is open, undeveloped land, beyond which lies an area of allotment gardens and the Kennet and Avon Canal. Devizes is defined as a ‘market town’, sitting below the Photo a: Kennet and Avon Canal principal settlements of Chippenham, Trowbridge and Salisbury within the council’s settlement hierarchy. As recognised by the council, market towns such as Devizes, have a strategic role and “...the potential for significant development that will increase jobs and homes in each town in order to help sustain and where necessary enhance their services and facilities and promote better levels of self containment and viable sustainable communities” (Core Policy 1, Wiltshire Core Strategy). Within Devizes town centre, located approximately 800m or 10 minutes’ walk to the south, there is a diverse Photo b: The Trinity Primary School range of facilities, including a market place, shops, offices, banks, cafes, bars, restaurants and civic buildings including a town hall and library.

Playing Fields Sell-Off Evenings Are Getting Lighter
Trust News Issue 159 - February 2020 January's behind us and the Playing fields sell-off evenings are getting lighter. We've survived Storm Ciara and the snowdrops drops and daffodils are there to brighten us up. Time to get down to the serious business..... Our town is always changing, new shops and restaurants. Even a new hotel (see below). Most of that change is good but some of it appears to threaten the structure and landscape of the town. Elsewhere in this edition, we have mentioned the decision by Wadworth to build a new brewery, hopefully in Devizes, and the proposal from the White Horse Federation to sell some of the playing fields in the grounds of Devizes School. Your Trustees are taking a pro- active approach to these issues by getting involved as soon as the announcements are made. We are also part of the group which is reviewing and re-writing the Neighbourhood Plan so that we can play a part in the development and growth of the town and some of the neighbouring villages. But we can't be everywhere and do everything so we need your help. If The White Horse Federation, a multi- Our Playing Field' protest,.
