Glossopdale Community College NEWS Winter 2016 Glossopdale Community College NEWS Winter 2016 Welcome from the Principal I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. At Glossopdale we embrace the festive period and like to think we have added some Christmas cheer to the community with our bands playing around the town, in primary schools and in local churches. On the last day of term, we are having a Christmas Jumper Day to raise money for MIND. The frame for the new school is going up In College, our current intake for Year 7 was up 40% on An amazing milestone the previous year, external reviews have confirmed that achieved! students’ behaviour has dramatically improved and par- ents and students say—in a recent survey— that bully- ing is rare and students feel safe. The Sixth Form, now judged as good, had excellent results this Summer and we continue to work on the improvements needed to further raise standards across the college. We are all excited that the £23 million new school con- struction started this August and last week the placing of the frame for the building has begun. Construction is due to be completed during Spring 2018. This is all part of our aim and determination to be an “outstanding learning centre at the heart of the commu- nity”. Festive Fundraising Instead of sending traditional cards, our Year 7 and 8 students have been creating Merry Christmas messages that are displayed in Reception at Hadfield in exchange for a donation to Bare Necessities - the Glossopdale Food Bank. We are very proud of our students’ creative work and the generosity they have shown towards families that are facing food poverty this Christmas. If you would like to make a donation to the Food Bank, please leave the items at reception and we will deliver them on 20th December along with the donations from our students. Christmas Jumper Day will take place on the last day of term—20th Decem- ber. In return for a £1 donation to MIND, the mental health charity, students can attend College in their festive finery.

Safe Drive Stay Alive All of the Year 12 students visited the Middleton Arena to watch the Greater Manchester ‘Safe Drive Stay Alive’ theatre based event. Safe Drive Stay Alive is hard hitting initiative aimed at young people to educate them about the risks associated with driving and using the roads. Students watched a series of short films about people who were dramatically affected by a road traffic collision and they listened to the personal accounts from the emergency ser- vice personnel who deal with the aftermath. The final speaker was a father who lost his son in a traffic collision and he gave a very personal account of that tragic evening. Students found the event very emotional and they now understand their responsibility as a driver.

As part of a drive to build year-group cohesion, create new friendships outside of those forged in Primary school and encourage teamwork, the students will spend three days (and two nights!) away - taking part in an exciting programme of events including: orienteering & problem-solving; bushcraft, shelter-building; canoeing and team-games. Whilst we will all be taking nice warm clothing for a winter visit to the Lakes, we’re looking forward to being warmed up afterwards by hot-chocolate and toasting marshmallows over a camp fire. There is much-anticipation about our first year 7 residential trip (including who will share rooms with whom!) and we intend to repeat this as a regular event for smooth transition. Watch out for pictures and our review on the trip in the next newsletter! Year 8 are Stretched and Challenged After a year of intense Accelerated Reader reading and quizzing in Year 7, our Year 8 students are now trying lots of different quality authors, reading a variety of genres and producing excellent written reviews to entice fu- ture readers.

This must be done at the beginning to ensure that Derbyshire Dales District Council and High Peak Borough Council can make informed decisions that accord with sustainable development. 1.2 Sustainability objectives are used to test and ask questions for each strategy and policy option considered in the Core Strategy. The Sustainability Appraisal process has a number of set stages that must be followed, but can be reconsidered when new information is collected. 1.3 The development of the Sustainability Appraisal for the Derbyshire Dales and High Peak Core Strategy will follow guidance as set out in “Sustainability Appraisal of Regional Spatial Strategies and Local development Documents (2005)” published by the Department of Communities and Local Government. 1.4 This topic paper follows Stage A (Pre Production – Evidence Gathering) of the guidance which is undertaken during the pre-production stage of the joint Core Strategy.

  • The Peak District Raptor Report 2014
    THE PEAK DISTRICT RAPTOR REPORT 2014 PEAK DISTRICT RAPTOR MONITORING GROUP (PDRMG) & THE SOUTH PEAK RAPTOR STUDY GROUP 1 Buzzards in Derbyshire (Ken Smith) Front cover photograph of Hen Harrier, Upper Derwentdale, early May 2014 (Dave Simmonite) FOREWORD This is the fourth joint report of the two Raptor Groups which operate in the Peak District and surrounding areas. A more comprehensive review of breeding success and failures, 2 conservation and persecution news affecting birds of prey, owls and Raven is made possible by the co-operation of both groups, whose members all work as Schedule One licensed operatives within the Northern England Raptor Forum (NERF). After two very challenging seasons for many of the raptor species breeding in our area, 2014 turned out to be a much improved season for many of them. The Peak District Bird of Prey Initiative survey work showed a mixed picture as regards breeding success but a notable and welcome improvement in the relationships between raptor workers and shooting interests. An upturn in fortunes for breeding Merlin was most welcome in the Dark Peak, but news was less positive on territories on the Eastern Moors; both Peregrine Falcon and Goshawk continue to be unsuccessful at most of their former breeding sites in the Dark Peak - a marked contrast to their continued expansion and success in the White Peak. 2014 was a good vole year which resulted in an unprecedented number of pairs of Long- eared Owls recorded breeding in and around the Dark Peak areas and seemingly high breeding site occupation and productivity for Kestrel and Tawny Owl.
