Bidder Letter B 23 Gatwick Road, Crawley, West Sussex, RH10 9TP Telephone: 01293 538779 email: [email protected] 8th December 2017 Dear Sir/Madam, Planning permission for The Gatwick School I am writing to let you know of our plans to submit a planning application to Crawley Borough Council to secure the permanent location of The Gatwick School on its current site. We would welcome your comments on this proposal in advance of the planning application. Background The Gatwick School opened on Manor Royal in September 2014 and is operated by Aurora Academies Trust, a charitable organisation which runs six schools across Sussex and Brighton. Since opening the school has gone from strength to strength and now has nearly 500 pupils and 55 staff members. It received a “Good” rating from Ofsted in its first inspection in 2017. When full, the school will have 1020 pupils aged 4-16. The school provides much needed school places for local families in Crawley and Horley. Since opening, the school has developed many community links and works closely with businesses on Manor Royal including Thales and Elekta supporting its STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) curriculum. Pupils have also been involved in a number of charitable projects including the Five-0 Project for St Catherine’s Hospice and work with the Sussex Wildlife Trust on Crawter’s Brook. Future plans The school occupies a former office block on Gatwick Road which had been empty for a number of years. The school has obtained permission for a temporary change of use of the building and is now seeking permission for a permanent change of use together with other improvements on site. This includes plans for a sports hall and Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) which will be available for community use outside of school hours. The school has listened to concerns previously raised by Crawley Borough Council and has made some changes to its plans. This includes making sure the proposed sports hall and MUGA are positioned to allow for additional short term parking spaces at the rear of the site for morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up visits as the school grows. This on-site short-term parking will help Aurora Academies Trust A company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales with company number 08107711 Glenleigh Park Primary Academy, Gunter’s Lane, Bexhill on Sea, East Sussex TN39 4ED ensure the on-street parking in surrounding roads is not made worse by people parking for the school. Plans are available to view at https://www.thegatwickschool.org.uk/school-development/ Summary The Gatwick School is a popular and successful school which is now well established on Manor Royal and within the wider community. The school is hoping that Crawley Borough Council will support its further development by granting permission for a permanent change of use and additional facilities. In summary the proposals will comprise Permanent planning permission for The Gatwick School; External recladding of the building with new windows and doors; Extension to provide a new sports hall for school and community use; Provision of a multi-use games area for school and community use; Retention of the existing access with management of the car parking and dropping off facilities; Provision for a new pedestrian and cycle crossing point on Gatwick Road. Your comments We would welcome your comments on our proposals. The simplest way to respond is to complete the online questionnaire available via the following link https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/Z6PBQDT Alternatively, you can send your comments by email to [email protected] or by post to The Gatwick School, 23 Gatwick Road, Crawley, RH10 9TP. Please submit any comments by Friday 5th January 2018. Yours faithfully, Tim McCarthy Chief Executive Officer Aurora Academies Trust Aurora Academies Trust A company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales with company number 08107711 Glenleigh Park Primary Academy, Gunter’s Lane, Bexhill on Sea, East Sussex TN39 4ED .

  • Wednesday 20Th May 2020 Dear Parents And
    Oriel High School Maidenbower Lane Maidenbower Crawley RH10 7XW Headteacher: Philip Stack BSc MA NPQH Deputy Headteachers: Helen Everitt BSc NPQH | Tim Matthews BA NPQH Wednesday 20th May 2020 Dear Parents and Carers, Coronavirus Update Dear Parent, This letter has been agreed by all Crawley secondary Headteachers of Oriel High School, Ifield Community College, Holy Trinity School, St. Wilfrids, Hazelwick and The Gatwick School and it is being sent to all our families. You will have heard confusing and rather mixed messages about some students returning to school. There is a lot of debate about some primary year groups returning (Year R, Year 1 and Year 6) and the difficulties in keeping the students, the staff and the community safe if this happens. The secondary school guidance is currently somewhat vague, and we have not had the level of detail afforded our primary colleagues. We anticipate some specific guidance, but this has not yet been released. We are keen to keep everyone safe. As a group of secondary Headteachers of the schools in Crawley we have unanimously agreed that no students will be in school (other than those currently in school for childcare) any earlier than 15th June. We will await further guidance from the Government and the Local Authority. We are meeting again after the half term week to discuss any changes in the position particularly in the light of the Government’s review of their five tests. We have come to this position in order to act responsibly for the welfare of the school and local community. We will continue to strive to offer the best quality remote learning possible.

    Oriel High School Maidenbower Lane Maidenbower Crawley RH10 7XW Headteacher: Philip Stack BSc MA NPQH Deputy Headteachers: Helen Everitt BSc NPQH | Tim Matthews BA NPQH Tuesday 16th June 2020 Dear Parents and Carers, Coronavirus Update I am writing to provide you with an update on our school. All students should have received an email offering some feedback as to how well they have coped with the online learning and their level of engagement with home learning. I should be grateful if you would contact your Head of Learning Community / Sixth Form if your son / daughter has not received such an email from their mentor / tutor. We are continuing to work to provide some recorded lesson introductions where relevant and possible for our students to access at the time that suits them. Over this week and next all students in Years 7 to 10 and Year 12 should have a telephone conversation with a member of staff either through a phone call or through Microsoft office 365 teams using the audio facility only as part of our way of keeping the working partnership between staff and students ‘alive’. We are now halfway through our first week of wider opening in our school. It has been wonderful to see our Year 10 students from Africa and Asia coming into school and they and the teachers involved have seemed very pleased indeed to be back and working together. I am sure that will be the case over the rest of the week as well. This morning the students were very good at using the hand sanitiser in the lobby (between our double doors at reception) on their way in and on the way out this afternoon.
