Around 25% of \RXKRZZRXOGWKDWDIIHFW\RXUVHOYHV" the children who attend Hanley Castle use public bus services for the journey to and from school. This ensures that parents in the South Worcestershire area are able to exercise their right to choose a school appropriate for their child. Hanley Castle is a high achieving academy which produces consistently outstanding exam results, both GCSE and A-level. The principle of choice is enshrined in the School Admissions Code, and supported in South Worcestershire by the provision of affordable public transport. However, a reduction or the withdrawal of public bus services between Upton, Worcester and Malvern would not only affect Hanley Castle. Students from Upton and Malvern do not always choose to progress to sixth form at the three local secondary schools. Many choose to attend either Worcester Sixth Form College or Worcester Technology College. Without transport, choices at post-16 would be cut dramatically and young people’s chances of securing further education or employment placed at risk. A further concern is the potential impact of cuts to the subsidy for school buses for students within our catchment area. Although this subsidy comes from a different pot of money, it is clear that prices are set to rise again. Very few of our students are able to walk to school. There is only one cycle track to the school, most of the roads leading to the school have no pavements, and the distances from villages such as Eldersfield, Longdon, Kemspey, Welland or Castlemorton are simply too great. School buses are the greenest, safest, most sustainable option for our young people. They need to be affordable for our many hard pressed families in this time of economic hardship. Finally, with regards to the impact on school students of a reduction or the withdrawal of public bus services between Upton and Worcester, it is important to note that there are 2,200 new homes planned for the area around Kempsey and the Worcester bypass. 10% of these homes will not be in the Hanley Castle catchment area. However, with Nunnery Wood full, it is inevitable that many of the school-age children living in the homes out of our catchment will wish to join those other young people in Worcester who make the journey to Hanley Castle every day. This will not be possible if the planned cuts have the expected impact detailed above. :RXOG\RXOLNHWRPDNHDQ\RWKHUFRPPHQWVRQWKHSURSRVDOVIRUWKH6XEVLGLVHG%XV6HUYLFHV" While the school has grave concerns about the impact of the proposed cuts on our students (and therefore the long-term viability of one of Worcestershire’s most successful schools), we also take our responsibility for the rest of the community very seriously. As a member of the Worcestershire Employment and Skills Board, I am acutely aware of the importance of Worcestershire’s “Open for Business” strategy. The impact of a reduction or the withdrawal of public bus services would be disastrous for the economic prosperity of Worcestershire. Our largely rural county needs a mobile workforce, and our shops and businesses demand a population that is able to access them. To leave South Worcestershire without public buses, or with services which are severely truncated, would lead to a rapid and perhaps irreversible decline in economic activity. If ever there were a false economy, this is it. A final effect of a reduction in bus services would be to leave the elderly and other vulnerable groups increasingly isolated. Those who cannot, or cannot afford to, drive would be left without access to shops, hospitals or other amenities and services. Again, the impact on South Worcestershire would be wholly disproportionate. 6XEVLGLVHG%XV6HUYLFHV5HYLHZ &RQVXOWDWLRQ3URIRUPD 2UJDQLVDWLRQ Haybridge High School and Sixth Form $GGUHVV Brake Lane Hagley Stourbridge DY8 2XS &RQWDFWQDPHDQGWLWOH Caroline Hoddinott (Headteacher) ,QWHUHVW HJWUDGHVFKRROORFDODXWKRULW\SDVVHQJHU School UHSUHVHQWDWLYH 7KH6XEVLGLVHG%XV6HUYLFHV5HYLHZ 'R\RXVXSSRUWWKHRYHUDOOSURSRVHGDSSURDFKWRHIILFLHQF\ VDYLQJVIRU 6XEVLGLVHG%XV6HUYLFHV No. ,IQRSOHDVHH[SODLQKRZ\RXZRXOGFKDQJHWKHDSSURDFKWR Whilst appreciating that efficiency savings are required, it is difficult PHHWWKHHIILFLHQF\VDYLQJVUHTXLUHG to comment on what cost cutting could be made in other areas without a detailed over view. ,IWKHVXEVLGLVHGEXVVHUYLFHVZHUHQRORQJHUDYDLODEOHWR As a school it would limit the transport available to some of our \RXKRZZRXOGWKDWDIIHFW\RXUVHOYHV" students

For a start, it’s the shortest month. So, by the time we’ve gotten to the end of the month, the year is well and truly up and running ……. And the days are getting noticeably a little bit longer….. the year is lightening up! Snowdrops, crocuses, catkins and pussy willows all start appearing. The garden and the lanes are waking up again. In the Church there is festival coming up ….and as the year develops, a Holy Cross pilgrimage….. This is the Feast of Candlemas on February 2nd. This celebration marks the formal end of the Nativity season, the end of Christmas and Epiphany. We have to take away all the Christmas tree and the crib. But not before lighting every candle we can find in the churches and making a great slash of light, symbolizing the light that Jesus Christ is in the world.

It identifies the background to the proposal and our brief in assessing the feasibility of the proposal. It also analyses the historical development of Hagley as a settlement and the anomalous boundaries that have been created as a consequence of the on-going physical development of the village. Thereafter, it identifies the legislative framework governing proposed boundary changes and explores the factors which are important in the consideration of a CGR. Finally, this document assesses the potential impact which the proposed change in the Parish boundary will have upon the governance of the Proposed Transfer Area (PTA) and the greater community of Hagley.

  • Faqs (Updated on 24Th May 2018)
    FAQs (updated on 24th May 2018) Question 1 What is a MAT? Answer 1 A MAT is a group of Academies which have joined together to work outside of Local Authority control. A MAT is a single legal entity with one set of Trustees under which schools operate collaboratively, but with considerable freedom to maintain their own character and ethos. All schools within the MAT share a common vision and work together to improve the educational experience and outcomes for all their students. Question 2 What is King Charles I School currently? Answer 2 King Charles I School became a converter Academy on 1 April 2012 and has been operating very successfully as a single academy trust (SAT) for six years. Question 3 Why change to a MAT? Answer 3 The Governors of King Charles I School have been considering the option of establishing a MAT for some time and recently agreed that this was the best course of action for the future of our school. The Governors are aware of the Government’s expectation that all schools will become Academies and that most schools will join together to work collaboratively. Our aim is for us to maintain control of our own destiny and we want to join with schools who we know would make good partners; not to be directed to form an alliance which might take us off the course we would want to map out for ourselves. Question 4 What are the advantages in becoming a MAT? Answer 4 We feel that three things are essential for school improvement: accountability, additional support and additional challenge.
