  • 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.

  • How a Neuroscienti C Approach Transformed Our School (Sponsored)
    24/03/2020 Behaviour: how a neuroscientific approach can transform your school | Tes | Thrive Sponsored by thrive Sponsored How a neuroscientic approach transformed our school (sponsored) One head explains that an approach based on neuroscience has improved behaviour, cut exclusions and boosted wellbeing By Russell Parton 20 March 2019 - 15:42 When Tim Cook became headteacher of Liskeard Hillfort Primary in November 2015, he knew he had a tough job on his hands. The school, located in Cornwall with high levels of deprivation, had just come out of special measures. Pupils were frequently getting in trouble, with 36 exclusions in a single year. “It wasn't a path we could keep treading, and it wasn't morally what I believed in,” he explains. Now the school is far more popular – applications increased by 11 per cent in two years – and it has a “good” rating for personal development, behaviour and welfare, attendance is above the national average and exclusions are down (so far this year there has only been one). Cook attributes the turnaround in large part to the Thrive Approach®, a way of supporting social and emotional development based on neuroscience, attachment theory and child development. According to the schools that have adopted it, the method can improve https://www.tes.com/news/how-neuroscientific-approach-transformed-our-school-sponsored 1/8 24/03/2020 Behaviour: how a neuroscientific approach can transform your school | Tes | Thrive behaviour, reduce exclusions, raise academic attainment and boost wellbeing among staff and students. Thrive draws on evidence from neuroscientific research, which asserts that the brain’s ability to relate, love, learn and manage stress is largely dependent on neurological pathways formed in the first three years of life.

  • Easter Celebrations!
    www.corshamprimary.co.uk Follow us on Twitter @CorshamPrimary April 2017 Staff News We will be saying goodbye and good luck to Mrs Kate Smith at the end of term as she leaves us to start her maternity leave. We wish her all the best and look forward to hearing her baby news soon. Going forward after Easter, 1S will be ably supported by Miss Palmer and Mr Richards who are already known to the children. We recently held interviews and are delighted to let you know that Miss Hannah Skidmore, Miss Clarissa Ward and Mrs Amanda-Jane O’Brien were appointed as permanent members of the teaching team; we are all thrilled they will remain working at Corsham Primary. We also appointed Mr Tom Richards who will officially join our teaching team from September. At the end of this academic year Mrs Lucy Jones has decided that the time will be right for her to leave Corsham Primary. Lucy’s children are older now and after a long teaching career, including 9 years at Corsham Primary working in our Foundation Stage classes, she feels it is time to focus on her own interests and has lots of new opportunities planned including a holiday out of term time! We will be sad to say goodbye to Lucy, she has played a crucial role in welcoming our new children and families to Corsham Primary over the years and I know you will join me in wishing her all the very best for the future. Easter Celebrations! On Thursday 6 April we will be celebrating Easter by having our traditional Easter Hat competition.
