  • What's on Next Week
    Brakenhale School 14.10.16 14th October 2016 Dear Parents/Carers It is always so lovely to read a packed Parent News such as this one! The students have had a very busy week and have achieved some great things. The school council visit to the council chambers was a great success and the young people were so proud to be able to hold their meeting within the chamber rooms. For many of them it was an inspirational visit and they have come back with so many ideas about how to take forward democracy within the school. The photos and write up below will tell you all about it. We have had sporting and dance successes this week and the numbers of young people participating in extracurricular activities is constantly increasing. We are so lucky to have a staff who are committed to ensuring that opportunities are available in so many different curriculum areas across the week. Today the local fire brigade have been in to talk to all of our Year 7 students about road safety, please do ask them about what was discussed – it is so important that we do all we can to keep our students safe out on the road. Finally our students have shown their appreciation for others less fortunate than themselves through non-school uniform day. A special mention to Ellicia Darby who organised a cake sale for cancer research raising over a £100 and Marta Contente who baked an amazing cake which was raffled and raised a further £40. Well done girls! Best wishes Jane Coley, Headteacher What’s On Next Week Wednesday 19th October Year 10 Information Evening, 7pm Thursday 20th October Year 8 PTA Disco, 7-9pm YEAR 8 If you haven’t already, don’t forget to buy your tickets for the DISCO on Thursday.

  • Reading Blue Coat School
    BLHA Newsletter Chairman's Corner This will be the first Newsletter edited by John Chapman. I know he has many good ideas for its future, and would like to wish him well. As a well-known military historian, his servi- ces must be in great demand at present, so taking on this task cannot have been easy. Members of the committee are particularly keen to let the member societies know what the Association is doing, and what it can do for them. We want the Newsletter to be read as widely as possible by members of member societies. And we would like to hear what the societies are doing. There are around 40 of them, but we only hear regularly from about a dozen in the Newsletter. A recent change in the committee has been brought about by Elias Kupfermann volunteering his services. He is well-known in Windsor, Maidenhead and Slough as a local historian, and I would like to welcome him. There are a number of jobs which need to be done, and I hope he soon finds his niche, and can be formally elected at the next A.G.M. Incidentally, I notice that the Constitution of the Association says that the officers and committee members should “normally” retire after five years. To my surprise, I find that I was first elected in 2009, so I’ve already done my five years! And as for most of the rest of the committee . It needs thinking about. I was pleased to be invited to present the Berkshire History Prize this year: please see the short report and photograph later in this issue.

  • Oakbank Author: Department for Education (Dfe)
    Title: Oakbank Author: Department for Education (DfE) Impact Assessment – Section 9 Academies Act Duty 1. Section 9 of the Academies Act 2010 places a duty upon the Secretary of State to take into account what the impact of establishing the additional school would be likely to be on maintained schools, Academies and institutions within the further education sector in the area in which the additional school is (or is proposed to be) situated. 2. Any adverse impact will need to be balanced against the benefits of establishing the new school. Background 3. Oakbank is an 11-16 school for 560 pupils, due to open in September 2012 with 84 pupils in Year 7. It was proposed by existing Academy sponsor CfBT in partnership with a parent group known locally as WoW (standing for west of Wokingham). The group feel that those living in the rural villages to the West of Wokingham are disadvantaged in securing a school place for their children as a result of the admissions arrangements for other schools in Wokingham which prioritise children living closest to schools. They feel that this means that they get “what’s left”, and have to travel long distances past their closest school. It was envisaged that establishing Oakbank would provide a school closer to home to which these children would be admitted. 4. Oakbank will be situated on the site of the old Ryeish Green School in Wokingham Borough. It is, however, closer to Reading than it is to the town of Wokingham, although the M4 separates the school from the south of Reading.

  • Proposed Changes to Secondary School Admission
    APPENDIX A Children’s Services Determined Co-ordinated Schemes for Admission to Primary and Secondary Schools Incorporating Wokingham Borough Council’s determined Admission Policies for community and voluntary controlled schools For entry to schools in 2016/2017 CONTENTS Page Section A: Introduction (including scheme timetable) 2 Section B: Scheme for primary schools 5 Section C: Scheme for secondary schools 19 Section D: Scheme for new school inclusion in 29 co-ordinated schemes Section E: Relevant area 31 A) DETERMINED CO-ORDINATED ARRANGEMENTS FOR SCHOOL ADMISSIONS FOR ENTRY FROM SEPTEMBER 2016 to AUGUST 2017. INTRODUCTION 1 Purpose of the c-ordinated schemes All local authorities are required by law to draw up schemes for co-ordinating admission arrangements in the normal admission rounds for all maintained primary and secondary schools, including academies (but not special schools) in their area. The purpose of a co-ordinated scheme is to ensure that every parent of a child who applies for a school place does so through their home authority and has an opportunity to state their preferred school(s). Parents will receive a single offer of a school place and parents will receive this offer on the day specified in their home authority’s scheme. The aim is also to ensure that parents are treated fairly and consistently regardless of the status of the school for which they make an application. Information will be exchanged with other authorities if an application is received from an applicant living in that authority or where parents living in the Wokingham Borough express a preference for schools in another authority.

  • School Admission Arrangements PDF 510 KB
    Report Title: School Admission Arrangements Contains Confidential No - Part I or Exempt Information? Member reporting: Councillor Airey, Lead Member for Children Services Meeting and Date: Cabinet - 23 February 2017 Responsible Officer(s): Alison Alexander, Strategic Director of Adult, Children, and Health Services; Kevin McDaniel, Head of Schools and Education Services Wards affected: All REPORT SUMMARY 1. The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead is the admissions authority for all community and voluntary controlled schools in the borough, and sets the admissions criteria for these schools. The borough has a duty to determine the arrangements for 2018/19 by 28 February 2017. There are no proposed changes to the admission arrangements from the current arrangements 2. The Local Authority also has a statutory duty to formulate a scheme to co- ordinate admission arrangements for all publicly funded schools within their area for phase transfer, e.g. primary to secondary school. This report recommends a revision to section 6 of the co-ordinated admissions scheme to ensure it is compatible with the schemes adopted by neighbouring authorities regarding the allocation of school places from the waiting list. This will mean that following the initial allocation of school places, late applications will be added to the waiting list before further offers are made. 3. It is recommended that a similar variation is made to the co-ordinated admissions scheme for 2017/18, which was determined on 15 March 2016. 1. DETAILS OF RECOMMENDATION(S) RECOMMENDATION: That Cabinet notes the report and: i) Approves and thereby determines, the admissions arrangements for 2018/19 by the 28 February 2017 national deadline.
