CHAIR: Order, order. Welcome to the HS2 Committee. Sorry to delay you coming in. We start off with Wendover Church of England Junior School, John Colet School and Dr John Savin. Welcome. 2. MR STRACHAN QC (DfT): Just before we start, can I just update the committee on two things arising out of yesterday? The first is, I was asked by Mr Hendrick about the modelling of the Terrick roundabout and I said I’d come back to him about it. That modelling was carried out in the normal way and we’re in consultation with Buckinghamshire County Council on roundabout modelling. We’re going to carry out a sensitivity test in relation to any carriageway restrictions caused by on-street parking, which is what I think the petitioners were concerned about. So we will carry out that sensitivity test. As I understand it, the modelling doesn’t specifically deal with on-street parking, so we will carry out that sensitivity test. 3. The second matter is that I said yesterday in relation to the question about control of enforcement of the various measures that are in the Code of Construction Practice – and I referred to the fact that we had produced an Information Paper, I didn’t give the identification of it, but it is E1 of the Information Papers which are available. That sets out in far more detail than I did yesterday the various measures to control the Code of Construction Practice, amongst other things, and the environmental minimum requirements. I’m not going to read it out now, but it has the detail, which I was unable to express yesterday in the time. Those are the only two things I just wanted to update you on. 4. CHAIR: Thank you. Sorry for the delay Mr Savin. Wendover Junior School and John Colet School 5. MR FISH: I’m Tony Fish I’m the Chair of Governors at Wendover Junior School. This is actually a joint presentation on two separate petitions, the Junior School and John Colet School. So, John and I will share the presentation today. The items at A1299 to look at? So if we could straight into page 2? So, really as a summary of our concerns. The reason that we’ve joined together in this presentation is that they are fundamentally the same thing, and the lens at which we look at this is through the health 3 and safety of the local children of Wendover and surrounding villages, and the proximity of the works and the operation of the train line. We have seven concerns there that we will talk about in a bit more detail as we go through the presentation and then finish on the specific mitigations that we’re seeking against those concerns. 6. In summary, the seven concerns there: one, at the top – and this will be our primary request that we want to talk about – is around construction traffic in the neighbouring area. We’ll explain why that’s such a concern in a village for Wendover where a lot of the children and parents and staff go to school on foot and by bicycle. We also want to talk about health and safety relating to mud and debris and other spoil from vehicles coming in and out of the site and the local area. The noise, both in terms of the construction works and the traffic coming through, and also into the operation of the line as well. Air quality and dust mitigation, things like that, and what that could do for the local area, particularly into the school site which we will show you some maps on shortly. Hydro-geology, which we’re not going to cover in detail but I know you will be looking at in other petitions later today, which will cover that in a lot more detail. The working hours that the site will operate on, and particularly concerned around the travel times for children in and out of school and how that relates and what we can do on that. And the Code of Construction Practice, and some things that we are looking for in mitigation, so that that is a really firm commitment. So if I hand over to John now, who will just take you through the next couple of slides, which have some of the positions of the schools? 7. MR SAVIN: Thank you, I’m John Savin, I’m a Governor at the John Colet School, which is a secondary school on the campus site. The slide here shows the main routes that the children are using to school, so if we can highlight this? 8. MR BELLINGHAM: Can I just seek some clarification? When we had the meeting in the church, we had a very good presentation by your headmaster was it? 9. MR FISH: It was Wendover House School, which is a different site. 10. MR BELLINGHAM: Got it, so that was one nearer the church was it? And you are up here in this circle here? 11. MR SAVIN: In the white circle. 4 12. MR BELLINGHAM: Thank you very much, sorry about that. 13. CHAIR: I know the school, when some of the petitioners said yesterday that people travel not only from Wendover but some even from Aylesbury? 14. MR SAVIN: Yes. This is the point, because if we illustrate on the map? The main route is from Aylesbury, Weston Turville, Aston Clinton – these are local villages. We take quite a good catchment from these areas, particularly the south side of Aylesbury. John Colet currently has a waiting list, for example, of 40 children, typically from that area for Year 7. 15. A number of children also come down the road from Holton Village and also from Aston Clinton area, Aston Clinton being quite a spread-out village. We have fewer children coming in from Aylesbury-Princes Risborough but we do have a number and fewer still from the south because there is a secondary school in Great Missenden. But there are some from Wendover Dean for example, and local small villages down to the south of Wendover. 16. The HS2 track is approximately shown here, and the construction route traffic illustrated by HS2 uses the bypass. So in theory, there should be no construction traffic whatsoever through Wendover and we are perfectly happy with that arrangement. Our main ask is that that is enforced. We’ll explain why: the school’s area, as you can see, is in white; it’s quite a big area with a significant amount of playing fields. Colet is in this area; the Church of England School is at the top; and the infant school is to the side. There are also a number of preschools on the site. 17. Next slide please? This is a detail of the previous map, just to illustrate the specific points. So coming down the road from Aylesbury, and anybody cycling down from Weston Turville, as a number of children do, we have a cycle lane for part of that route, and then it stops and we’ll show you some pictures in the next slides. We then have quite a significant danger zone, a mini roundabout here – or a circle just painted on the road to be quite frank – which gets extremely congested due to traffic trying to get down Wharf Road, to the school area. The main site entrance is here and there is a secondary entrance to the John Colet only here. We do have good cycle access down this hill, from the Holton Road. 5 18. So our main concern is that traffic from HS2 would use this road in particular, over to Holton, and the A41 as a rat run. The A41 is a dual carriageway; it connects very efficiently to the M25, and the M1 at Hemel Hempstead.

It will be valid until 2033. A Neighbourhood Plan is only concerned with land use and development, not community facilities directly, although it can be used to propose detailed actions and use of S106 agreements by directing funding as suggested during the evidence gathering. This Plan is not intended to simply restrict or prevent development occurring in the Parish, but will focus the local Planning Authority’s attention on the wishes of us, the residents, in the development of Wendover. It will serve as an aide to help developers focus on the requisites for successful and appropriate development, sympathetic to our Parish, the history and setting within the Green Belt and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

  • Press Release
    press release 3 July 2009 The Grange School win South East region of Shares4Schools The Grange School made a 84.1% profit in just eight months The team of four Year 12 students outperformed the FTSE 100 by 87.3% Vale schools invited to apply for funding for 2009/10 competition A group of four Year 12 students at The Grange School, Aylesbury has beaten 13 schools to become the South East regional winners of Shares4Schools, a national investment competition run by retail stockbroker, The Share Centre. The team also came second in the national league by making an exceptional £1,262.07 profit in just eight months, despite stock market volatility. The group turned their initial investment of £1,500 at the start of October 2008 into an 84.1% profit, leaving them with £2,762.07 when the competition closed on the 5 June 2009. The same amount invested in tracking the FTSE 100 would have returned a loss of 3.2%. Commenting on the team’s success, Gavin Oldham, chief executive of The Share Centre said: “Students participating in this year’s competition have faced some of the toughest trading conditions since Shares4Schools started back in 2003. Despite this, The Grange School rose to the challenge to achieve an amazing capital gain. I am sure the students will take this knowledge forward and capitalise on it in whatever career they choose.” Commenting on the team’s investment experience, Jess Smith, a member of the successful team said: “We are thrilled to have beaten all the other schools in the South East.

I shall focus on some of the creativity we have valued in Bucks SACRE this year both from our members and during our visits to schools. In addition, we receive wise counsel from our Education Officer at Bucks CC, Katherine Wells and our RE Adviser Bill Moore. At our meeting in October we learned that Suma Din our Muslim deputy had become a school governor and would no longer fulfil her role with SACRE. However, her legacy to us is her book published by the Institute of Education Press entitled ‘Muslim Mothers and their children’s schooling.’ See SACRED 7, for a review. (For this and all other references to SACRED see the website at the end of this section). In her contribution to SACRED 6 Suma wrote; From the Qur’an, I understand my role as being a ‘steward’ on this earth; one who will take care, take responsibility and hand on a legacy to those who come after them.

Registered in England; Company Number 7633408. Registered Office: John Colet School, Wharf Road, Wendover, Buckinghamshire, HP22 6HF INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS Wendover is a village of some 7,000 people. It is situated about 35 miles to the north west of London, beautifully sited at the foot of the Chiltern scarp slope. To the south there are the Chiltern Hills and to the north, the Vale of Aylesbury. There is a main line link to Marylebone Station (45 minutes) and generally it is a most attractive area in which to live. The school draws its pupils from Wendover and the villages of Halton, Aston Clinton and Weston Turville. In August 2011 John Colet School converted to an Academy. The school is recognised throughout the County for the excellent education we offer our pupils. In 2014 our exam results at GCSE and in the Sixth Form were again a credit to our staff and pupils. The school is highly respected by the local community. We hope we have earned that respect – we intend to keep it! John Colet School shares its very attractive site with the Wendover Infant and Junior Schools and the school campus is used extensively for youth and community education activities. Over the past decade, the school has undergone major building/refurbishment. A new Humanities and Art block opened in September 2004. Our indoor swimming pool is also used by local primary schools and community swimming associations.
