I shall focus on some of the creativity we have valued in Bucks SACRE this year both from our members and during our visits to schools. In addition, we receive wise counsel from our Education Officer at Bucks CC, Katherine Wells and our RE Adviser Bill Moore. At our meeting in October we learned that Suma Din our Muslim deputy had become a school governor and would no longer fulfil her role with SACRE. However, her legacy to us is her book published by the Institute of Education Press entitled ‘Muslim Mothers and their children’s schooling.’ See SACRED 7, for a review. (For this and all other references to SACRED see the website at the end of this section). In her contribution to SACRED 6 Suma wrote; From the Qur’an, I understand my role as being a ‘steward’ on this earth; one who will take care, take responsibility and hand on a legacy to those who come after them.

  • 11+ Admissions Analysis September 2018
    Transfer Test analysis by Primary school (numbers) - September 2018 intake Autumn update This data is presented with the permission of The Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools. Introduction Pupils attending LA primary schools in Buckinghamshire are automatically registered for the transfer tests unless their parents advise the Headteacher that they do not want their child to sit the test. The parents of children attending all other schools register their child to take part in the testing process. The transfer tests are usually taken in the autumn term when a child is in Year 6. The child's final score is taken to be a standardised score known as the secondary transfer test score (STTS). This is the score used to see whether a child has reached the qualifying standard for a grammar school. If a child does not achieve a qualifying score, parents can ask for a selection review. The review is considered by a panel of Headteachers. If they find evidence to demonstrate that the child is suitable for grammar school they are able to qualify that child, who is then considered qualified for admission to any Buckinghamshire grammar school. Should the parents of a non-qualified child feel that their child is suitable for grammar school, the right of appeal to an independent panel is triggered on 1 March when a place is refused at a preferred grammar school. Parents are able to appeal for a place at a particular grammar school whether or not they have been to review. If the panel subsequently qualifies the child, the qualification is for that particular grammar school only.
