  • Consultation on Proposed Changes To
    CONSULTATION ON PROPOSED CHANGES TO BRIDGNORTH ENDOWED SCHOOL (Reduction in Published Admission Number and closure of Sixth Form) On THURSDAY 29TH NOVEMBER 2018 at 6PM At Old Hall, Bridgnorth Endowed School PRESENT: Mr B Worth Headteacher Mr M Freathy Chair of Governors IN ATTENDANCE: Mrs Jo Nicholls - Clerk to governors Parents of pupils at Bridgnorth Endowed School (4) Chair of Bridgnorth Area Schools' Trust (representing Oldbury Wells School, Bridgnorth) 1. ADDRESS BY HEADTEACHER The Headteacher thanked those present for coming out to the meeting and introduced himself, the Chair of Governors and the Clerk who would be recording the meeting. He then outlined, with the aid of a screen presentation, the considerations which had led to the Governing Board’s decision to both reduce the current Published Admission Number (PAN) and withdraw sixth form provision at Bridgnorth Endowed School (BES). The key focus points of the presentation were as follows: FALLING PUPIL DEMOGRAPHIC Pupil numbers had gone through a sustained period of decline within Bridgnorth. There had been a 20% drop-off of pupils aged 11-18 for local secondaries to draw from over the past ten years. An even bigger drop, of 40%, had been sustained in children following a course for 16-19-year-olds in the town. Reasons for this decline were complex, the Head said, but a clear factor was the increasing desire of pupils to go further afield to study at this stage of their education. With more children aspiring to university it was a good interim step, offering a taste of independence and a sense of new horizons.

  • WEEKLY BULLETIN Friday 1 December 2017
    Issue 11 WEEKLY BULLETIN Friday 1 December 2017 Dear Parents and Carers Sir John Talbot’s School has been on a remarkable journey in the last 4 years contributed greatly by Assistant Headteacher Olivia Glackin. Unfortunately for the school Ms Glackin is moving on to other opportunities and so will be leaving us at the end of December. I know for many of you Ms Glackin has been the source of a great deal of support and guidance and will be missed by your children. Ms Glackin leaves the school in a strong position to keep on moving forward and has sent the following message attached. As always the main contact for your child will remain their tutor and year group progress leader. The Progress Leader for Year 7 is Miss Webb, Year 8 Mrs Unwin, Year 9 Mrs Jennings, Years 10/11 Mrs Apperley and Year 12/13 Mrs Jones. Whole school student welfare and pastoral matters can be referred to Miss Johnson, Assistant Headteacher. David O’Toole, Headteacher It is hard to believe that only 4 weeks of 2017 remain and it will soon be time to look forward to 2018 and the many opportunities available to our students at Sir John Talbot’s. Just some of the events which will help to broaden the education of our students are highlighted below. One of the key events next year will be the Year 7 and 9 trip to the Normandy Battlefields which will mark the 100th anniversary of the end of WW1. This will undoubtedly be a most poignant and memorable visit.

  • The MNA Express and Star 2018 STEM Challenge
    The MNA Express and Star 2018 STEM Challenge The competition was led by the Midland News Association, publishers of the Wolverhampton Express & Star and Shropshire Star. The aim was to promote the importance of STEM subjects, develop skills and raise awareness of the demand for STEM skills by local employers. The competition aimed to increase employer engagement, provide a longer term quality engagement (January - July), improve collaborative working, increase the understanding of the labour market and local employer needs and address skills shortages. The key partners were Dudley College of Technology, University of Wolverhampton, DENSO, KUKA and Entrust, Staffordshire and West Midlands STEM ambassador hubs. 24 high schools across the area were identified to take part plus local manufacturing/engineering companies to provide mentors. After working on their solution to the brief i.e. ‘Design a product to improve or enhance the quality of life for a group or person that you consider to be advantaged’ from January, the final was held in the Advance II Building at Dudley College of Technology on the 5th July and was attended by young people from 21 schools that completed the challenge. The impact of the experience was clearly evident in the young people’s responses to the judges questioning. A member of the Telford Langley School team commented on their devise to soothe people suffering from stress or anxiety ‘ We had a few problems but we are pleased with how it turned out’ One of the young people in the Royal School team who developed a device to fit to a bike that produced light therapy for people suffering from Seasonal Effective Disorder said’ It’s been fun and we’ve learned a lot’.
