  • 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.

  • Impact of Building Schools for the Future Announcement of Monday 5 July 2010
    Impact of Building Schools for the Future announcement of Monday 5 July 2010 1. This list sets out the impact on schools of the announcement on Building Schools for the Future (BSF) made by the Secretary of State for Education on Monday 5 July 2010. It has been produced by Partnerships for Schools (PfS) after validation at senior level in Local Authorities and rigorously checked by the Department for Education, including by making telephone contact with every Local Authority listed and with all affected Academy sponsors. 2. This process of checking has been necessary because of the complexity of the BSF process, to ensure the accuracy of this list and, in particular, because, to date, PfS has collected data from Local Authorities about BSF schools as they progressed. Rather than micromanaging individual schools, PfS has relied on Local Authority-level information. 3. All Local Authorities which were participating in BSF are listed, plus those who have had one school pathfinders or academies built or being built through the Partnerships for Schools Academies Framework. That is 102 Local Authorities out of a total of 152. And every school which was included within a Local Authority project is listed and is categorised as either ‘open’, ‘unaffected’, ‘for discussion’ or ‘stopped’. 1592 schools are listed in total. 159 are categorised as ‘open’, 547 as ‘unaffected’, 151 as ‘for discussion’ and 735 as ‘stopped’. 4. For simplicity, and because large numbers of pupils cross constituency boundaries to attend school, this list does not provide a breakdown of schools by constituency. 5. There are many examples of Local Authorities in this list having schools in more than one of these categories.

  • Admissions Policy for 2020/21
    William Brookes Academy Trust Admissions Policy For 2020/21 Admissions Policy for 2020-21 William Brookes Academy Trust Published Spring 2019 William Brookes School is an academy and therefore an admission authority in its own right. As such, the Academy Trust is responsible for setting its own admission arrangements. Governors of William Brookes School have adopted Shropshire Council’s admission arrangements as applicable to community and voluntary controlled schools within north and south Shropshire. However, from September 2015, the sibling criteria definition has been extended to include those students whose siblings attend William Brookes’ Sixth Form. A copy of the determined arrangements is available for viewing on the Council’s website. The school has an admission number of 162. Year 7 Admissions For transfers to secondary school in Year 7, Shropshire Council’s Admissions Team co-ordinates the admissions process and all enquiries regarding Admissions should be addressed to them. They publish a booklet “Parents’ Guide to Education in Shropshire” each year with up to date information about schools and a full explanation of the admissions processes. The booklets are available from the Shropshire Council website or reference copies are available in schools and local libraries. Parents/carers who may wish to speak directly to an Admissions Advisor may also contact them through the Admissions Team. Admissions for any year group other than the start of Year 7 will be classed as In-Year or Mid-term applications and will be handled directly by the school. The contact address for Shropshire Council is: Admissions Team, Learning and Skills, Shirehall, Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury, SY2 6ND.
