The gate is old and in need of replacement. In addition there are safety and security concerns, which will be addressed by the design of the new gate. Specifically these are: • The existing gate does not fully open, which makes social-distancing for arriving and leaving students difficult; • Cars drive into Sussex Road and at the moment nothing is stopping drivers from driving into the school grounds, when the central gate is open at the beginning and end of the school day; and • the gate is easy to climb and intruders occasionally enter school grounds out of hours. Aerial view Main entrance at end of Sussex Road ERECT ARCHITECTURE Langdon Academy Gate 3 Existing gate ERECT ARCHITECTURE Langdon Academy Gate 4 Design proposal Gate The proposed gate comprises of three double gates between new brick piers. The central double gate only opens at the beginning and end of the school day and for emergency access. The side gates comprise of leading door leaves with 1m clear width, which will be automated and access controlled from the school reception. The following leaves are manually operated. Compared with the existing gate position the new gate is set back from Sussex Road, creating a more generous threshold between gate and road surface and more space for students to leave/ enter the school without walking on the road. This threshold zone is further accentuated by new brick-style paving. To enhance security the proposed height of the gate is 2,465m, 690mm higher than the existing gate with its height of 1,775m. The proposed gates comprises of steel frames and perforated steel mesh. The bespoke pattern on the mesh highlights name and crest of the school. Children representing the different age groups of students at Langdon Academy are incorporated in the imagery starting with the primary school children on the left and ending with the oldest Visualisation secondary school children on the right.

  • 17 July 2015 Name & Tutor Group
    Issue 41 Working together to promote & celebrate achievement 17 July 2015 Name & Tutor Group: Headlines by Rachel McGowan Staff News During this half-term, Mrs Mary Ward, a member of our reception team, retired from the school having served our school community for 21 years. Whilst not everyone in our community will have met Mrs Ward face-to-face, by the nature of her job many of you will have spoken to her over the phone. Throughout her service to the school, Mrs Ward has been a consummate professional in all her dealings with youngsters, families, visitors and staff and is much missed as she commences a very well earned retirement. On behalf of our whole school community can I thank her for her outstanding contribution to the school and wish her a long and happy retirement. A number of staff will be leaving us at the end of this academic year, most notably Mrs Sue Rosner, who has been a teacher here at Plashet since 1980 and Assistant Headteacher since 1997. Mrs Rosner has served the school with great distinction throughout this period holding a wide range of different responsibilities. As well as being a fantastic contributor to the leadership of our whole school she has worked closely with a number of different Cohorts as their senior line manager. As a teacher of Drama she has consistently demanded the highest possible standards from students in her own classes, and the quality of teaching she has demonstrated has been an inspiration to less experienced members of staff who will miss her wise counsel.

This monitoring inspection was conducted under section 8 of the Education Act 2005 and in accordance with Ofsted’s published procedures for inspecting schools with no formal designation. The inspection was carried out because the Chief Inspector was concerned about safeguarding arrangements and aspects of the quality of leadership at the academy. Evidence Inspectors scrutinised the single central record and other documents relating to safeguarding and child protection arrangements and met with the Principal and other senior and middle leaders; a few teachers, mostly with long services; and the Chair of the Governing Body and one other governor. Inspectors also met with several groups of pupils and parents, both formally and informally. Telephone conversations were held with a parent and the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO). Inspectors observed the academy’s work and made very short visits to 18 lessons and three registrations. A range of documents was analysed and included the exclusion and attendance records, the academy’s self-evaluation and improvement plan, and case studies on behaviour management.
