  • Secondary School and Academy Admissions
    Secondary School and Academy Admissions INFORMATION BOOKLET 2021/2022 For children born between 1st September 2009 and 31st August 2010 Page 1 Schools Information Admission number and previous applications This is the total number of pupils that the school can admit into Year 7. We have also included the total number of pupils in the school so you can gauge its size. You’ll see how oversubscribed a school is by how many parents had named a school as one of their five preferences on their application form and how many of these had placed it as their first preference. Catchment area Some comprehensive schools have a catchment area consisting of parishes, district or county boundaries. Some schools will give priority for admission to those children living within their catchment area. If you live in Gloucestershire and are over 3 miles from your child’s catchment school they may be entitled to school transport provided by the Local Authority. Oversubscription criteria If a school receives more preferences than places available, the admission authority will place all children in the order in which they could be considered for a place. This will strictly follow the priority order of their oversubscription criteria. Please follow the below link to find the statistics for how many pupils were allocated under the admissions criteria for each school - https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/education-and-learning/school-admissions-scheme-criteria- and-protocol/allocation-day-statistics-for-gloucestershire-schools/. We can’t guarantee your child will be offered one of their preferred schools, but they will have a stronger chance if they meet higher priorities in the criteria.

  • Stonehouse History Group Annual Report 2010 – 11 the Group Has
    Stonehouse History Group Annual Report 2010 – 11 The group has continued to flourish, maintaining a steady membership of 46, with 93 names on our contacts list. This year we have had 11 events, with an average attendance of 43, plus 2 outside visits during the summer. We have met on the second Wednesday of every month at 7.30 pm in the Town Hall, moving to the larger premises of Park Junior School or Maidenhill School for events where more space was needed. Our main innovation this year has been the creation of the Stonehouse History Group website, www.stonehousehistorygroup.org.uk After discussions with the website committee, Darrell Webb has built and maintained an excellent website which gives details about the activities of the group, as well as a wealth of information about the history of Stonehouse. We have received communications from a variety of people with questions about Stonehouse history as well as photographs and information to contribute. We have continued to interview local residents about their memories of Stonehouse. Jim Dickson, Shirley Dicker and Vicki Walker have interviewed: Frank Woodyard (Hoffmanns), Len Taylor (Woolpack), Mrs Blick (Blick’s Builders), Peggy Deuten (Stonehouse), Chris Brown (Royal Arms), Norma Tubb (Ship Inn), Mrs King (Bridgend). Shirley Dicker and Vicki Walker were featured on Radio Gloucestershire with three walks up and down the High Street and by the church and Stonehouse Court. We have worked on the walks with the Stonehouse Partnership and are preparing to do our first guided history walk in June for the Stroud Local History Society.

  • URN Institution Name 143129 Phoenix Academy 142905 South
    University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag All schools on this list meet the requirements for the University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag. The Institution Contextual Flag is given to all institutions whose data indicates that they perform in the bottom 40% nationally for KS5 results reported by the Department for Education each year. We use the average point school per entry and where data is not available, we use KS4 result, if available. In order to make this more reliable we look at data over a three year period to see if they are low performing for at least two out of the last three years. In cases where an Institution is flagged, but subsequently closes, the flag will be retained and the institution will continue to appear on the list. We use the Institution supplied by you in your UCAS application (the UCAS centre or Last Institution) to identify whether it has a Contextual Flag. Please note: independent schools are not included, neither do we have data from government agencies in Scotland and Northern Ireland and therefore these cannot be given a flag. Similarly, there may be schools or colleges which have recently changed name, status or have merged and this has resulted in no data being reported by the Department of Education , in these instances we will not be able to assess the Institution for a Contextual Flag.
