We also had pupils working in primary schools, local vets, solicitors’ offices and many other interesting occupations. The majority of pupils really enjoyed the experience while some others felt the jobs they were doing were mundane and boring at times. Work Experience can either secure in a pupil’s mind what they want to do in the future or confirm what they definitely don’t want to do.

  • Dear Candidate April 2017 Thank You for Expressing an Interest in the Position of Subject Leader Biology at Teddington School
    Teddington School, Broom Road, Teddington, Middlesex TW11 9PJ T 020 8943 0033 W www.teddingtonschool.org E [email protected] Headteacher: John Wilkinson MA NPQH Dear Candidate April 2017 Thank you for expressing an interest in the position of Subject Leader Biology at Teddington School, we have included the Job Description and Person Specification for the position. The successful applicant will be joining the school at a very exciting time. Since joining the school in April 2014 the Governors, staff and I have worked together to build on the strengths of this very successful school. We have redefined the vision and values of the school and reinvigorated all policies and procedures that ensure we meet our aim of ensuring the success of all students regardless of starting point in this high achieving community comprehensive school. We have achieved great success over this period of development because we have invested heavily in the professional development of all of our staff as we are committed to ensuring all members of our school community benefit by being part of our school. In September 2015 we were approached by the DfE and Local Authority to consider taking on the leadership, with Waldegrave School, of a local Multi Academy Trust to improve standards at Twickenham and Hampton Academies. Following Governor and DfE agreement, that work has begun and we are excited about the ways we can ensure the success of the students across our local community. The opening of our new Sixth Form, in its own impressive building, has been very successful and candidates will enjoy the opportunity to be part of the growth of that provision and helping ensure it becomes the first choice for post 16 education by our young people.

  • Orleans Infant School Transition
    Wednesday 6th September 2017 Dear Year 6 and Year 5 Parents and Carers, As your children start in Year 6 and Year 5 I know that many of you will have started considering secondary schools. The window for application to a secondary school (local authority, voluntary aided, academy or free school) starting in September 2018 is now open. A leaflet with the key dates is attached to this email and an electronic brochure giving detailed information about all aspects of the process is now available on Richmond Council’s website and can be accessed using the link below: http://www.richmond.gov.uk/media/3066/secondary_admission.pdf This brochure explains exactly what you need to do and when you need to do it, as well as giving information about the schools in Richmond. In addition to the brochure and prior to you making your decision about which schools to apply for, secondary schools offer opportunities to visit and look around. The timetable for Richmond schools’ open mornings and evenings is in the document attached with this letter. These visits offer you the opportunity to meet with the staff and pupils of the schools to find out more and ask questions. Although these are specifically related to the pupils starting secondary in September 2018, parents and carers of children in Year 5 may also wish to attend in order to start thinking about which school they would like their child to attend from September 2019. Several of our parents, whose children are now in secondary, did this when their pupils were in Year 5 and they found the experience helpful.

  • OSA Determination ADA3367: Waldegrave School 27 September
    DETERMINATION Case reference: ADA3367 Objector: A parent, carer or other person with parental responsibility for a child who will be the right age to join the school in September 2019. Admission Authority: The Waldegrave Trust for Waldegrave School, Richmond Date of decision: 27 September 2018 Determination In accordance with section 88H(4) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, I partially uphold the objection to the admission arrangements for September 2019 determined by the governing board of Waldegrave School on behalf of the Waldegrave Trust for Waldegrave School, in the London Borough of Richmond. I have also considered the arrangements in accordance with section 88I(5) and find there are other matters which do not conform to the requirements relating to admission arrangements in the ways set out in this determination. By virtue of section 88K(2) the adjudicator’s decision is binding on the admission authority. The School Admissions Code requires the admission authority to revise its admission arrangements within two months of the date of the determination, or such other date specified by the adjudicator. The arrangements must be revised within two months of the date of this determination to ensure that the boundaries of the catchment area and the location of the dividing line between Areas A and B are made clear to parents. If this is done by way of a map, the map must be published as part of the admission arrangements. The arrangements for admission to the sixth form must be revised with effect from 28 February 2019 to ensure that they comply with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 and paragraphs 1.1 and 1.8 of the Code.

We have seen a further increase in the number of people sleeping rough this year and a steep increase in the number of people struggling with other types of homelessness. The proportion of our clients with complex health and social care needs has increased again and we are concerned by the rising number of street homeless women and young people in our services. In a context of continued funding cuts across the homelessness sector, we are pleased that our income has remained consistent this year. This allows us to continue to deliver our strategic aims of helping the most vulnerable people in our community effectively – people who have often failed to engage with alternative support and who struggle to access mainstream services.
