Autumn Term 2019 Newsletter 2 October 2019 1 Autumn Term 2019 Newsletter 2 October 2019 News from our Level 3 Lead: Lesley Swarbrick Dear All, I hope you have had a great start to the term. In addition to being Level 3 Lead for the BBO Maths Hub, I am the new Area Coordinator for the Advanced Maths Support Programme (AMSP) in Bucks and Oxfordshire. In order to support you, I will be running network meetings for Secondary Maths teachers in Oxfordshire called ‘Coffee and Pi’, and in Buckinghamshire called ‘Making Them Think’. The next meeting for ‘Making Them Think’ is Thursday 10th October, 16:30 to 18:30 at John Colet School in Wendover. The focus is the BBO Level 3 Work Groups for supporting Core Maths and developing A level Pedagogy. To sign up, please go to: https://amsp.org.uk/events/details/6452. For network meetings in Berkshire please contact the Area Coordinator Yvonne Scott [email protected]. The website amsp.org.uk lists all AMSP events. We are in the South region but you can attend events anywhere. The good news is that just like BBO Maths Hub events, the CPD is FREE for teachers from schools registered with the AMSP. A level Pedagogy The first cohort will start on Thursday 7th November, 2pm to 5pm at Larkmead School in Abingdon, Oxford. The workgroup lead is Chris Kirkham, a very experienced A level teacher. BBO will also be running another Work Group in our area so please keep an eye for this in the newsletters and website. In addition to these, Enigma Maths Hub will also run an A level Pedagogy at Cottesloe School in Wing, Leighton Buzzard, 2pm to 5pm, starting Thursday 23rd January. The workgroup lead for this is Louise Evans who is a very experienced teacher of A level Maths and Further Maths.

Teachers in this Work Group will work together to plan exemplar lessons (drawing on new Mastery Professional Development Materials produced by the NCETM and Maths Hubs, and other sources of mastery resources for the classroom including textbooks) and in so doing will improve lesson design across their school.

This Work Group will consider models of intervention in a mastery context to ensure that mathematics teaching has maximum impact for all children. Teachers and leaders will further their understanding of teaching for mastery by using case studies to inform their practice. They will trial an intervention model of their choice, and will document their observations to share with others.

  • Welcome to Bishop Loveday Ce Primary School
    WELCOME TO BISHOP LOVEDAY CE PRIMARY SCHOOL tel: 01295 263157 email: [email protected] Joining Together – Learning For Life We hope you enjoy working with us and find this prospectus helpful in finding out all about Bishop Loveday. Bishop Loveday CE Primary HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL 1840 ~ 2019 The year was l961. The old village school, built in 1840, was obsolete and too small to cope with the rapidly expanding population. With limited financial resources, the Local Education Authority could provide only the nucleus of a new school - three classrooms on a site at the far end of the village from the old school - with no promise of expansion in the foreseeable future. Bodicote was therefore faced with a split school, in new and old buildings almost half-a-mile apart. Reverend Bishop, the vicar, came up with a solution. Why shouldn’t the people of Bodicote contribute financially to the building of a new school? It could have six classrooms on one site and ‘Aided’ status in place of the ‘Controlled’ status of the old school. This would give greater opportunity for teaching the Christian faith. Also, why not provide a school hall big enough for village functions and at the same time adapt the old school building as a replacement for the inadequate existing Church House which could be sold? Fired by the Vicar’s faith and enthusiasm, the Parochial Church Council, and through them the people of the parish and well-wishers outside it, supported the scheme. It was estimated that they would need to find £23,500 as their share of the total of £62,000, which would mean raising £30,000 over ten years, including interest on loans.

  • The Warriner School Consultation Document
    Consultation on a proposal to expand The Warriner School, Bloxham 1 November 2016 – 13 December 2016 The Warriner School is an academy located in Bloxham village, just outside Banbury in Cherwell District. It is part of The Warriner Multi Academy Trust along with Bishop Carpenter CE (VA) Primary School, Hornton Primary School and Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School. Currently the school’s Published Admission Number is 228 (i.e. the school admits up to 228 children each year into Year 7). The Warriner School was last inspected by Ofsted on 12 November 2014 (before it converted to an academy) and was graded Good. The total number of students on roll at the start of the September 2016 academic year was 1287 as shown below: Year Total Total All Y7 Y8 Y9 Y10 Y11 Y12 Y13 Group Y7-Y10 Pupils Number 228 223 223 221 228 99 65 895 1287 of Pupils What is being proposed? The Warriner School, supported by Oxfordshire County Council, proposes to increase its Published Admission Number (PAN) in two stages. In September 2017 the PAN will rise from 228 to 256. In September 2019 it will then rise again to 284. This means that each year group that starts at the school in September 2017 and September 2018 would consist of up to 256 places, and each year group starting from September 2019 onward would consist of up to 284 places. This would mean a gradual rise to a maximum total (by 2023) of 1420 students from Year 7 to Year 11, plus the Sixth Form.

  • Take up of Free School Meals (On Income Grounds)
    Take up of Free School Meals (on income grounds). Message from the DfE: "Dear Roy Thank you for your email below. I’m sure you know that, since our previous email exchange in May, the FSM take-up figures from the January school census were published on 11 June as part of the Schools, pupils and their characteristics statistics. You can access these statistics via this link:- https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/schools-pupils-and-their-characteristics-january-2015. See tables 3a/b/c/d in the National Tables document, and tables 8a/b/c/d/e in the Local Authority document. The statistics show that the proportion of pupils eligible for and claiming FSM has dropped nationally across all age groups, and so it does not appear that infant FSM rates have been adversely affected by the introduction of universal infant free school meals. As the economy improves and more parents find work, this leads to a decrease in the number of pupils eligible for free school meals, which shows that the Government’s long term economic plan is working with fewer children living in poverty. We will continue to advise local authorities and schools to maintain their work to encourage parents to register for benefits-based FSM, which we know is possible because of the experience of local authorities which have previously offered universal free meals. To help schools and LAs with this DfE has made best practice guidance and a model registration form available, but ultimately is for schools to take responsibility for enrolling their FSM pupils." I've done a bit of
