In MMXX we are very excited that this term BBO will be hosting primary and secondary shanghai showcase events. We are one of only 12 hubs to host a secondary exchange and are looking forward to welcoming the Chinese teachers. In addition to this, we will continue to run workgroups and open mornings that showcase our approach to teaching for understanding. Our integrated approach to curriculum design and pedagogy is wholly consistent with the curriculum deep dives and maths leaders attending our LLME meetings are finding it useful to connect and share experiences.

There are many opportunities to sign up for work groups, especially: Developing A Level Pedagogy, Core Maths, Yr5-8 Continuity Work Group (Dicot + Slough), Specialist Knowledge for Teaching Mathematics Programme (Primary and Early Years) and Primary Twilights.

  • Oakbank Author: Department for Education (Dfe)
    Title: Oakbank Author: Department for Education (DfE) Impact Assessment – Section 9 Academies Act Duty 1. Section 9 of the Academies Act 2010 places a duty upon the Secretary of State to take into account what the impact of establishing the additional school would be likely to be on maintained schools, Academies and institutions within the further education sector in the area in which the additional school is (or is proposed to be) situated. 2. Any adverse impact will need to be balanced against the benefits of establishing the new school. Background 3. Oakbank is an 11-16 school for 560 pupils, due to open in September 2012 with 84 pupils in Year 7. It was proposed by existing Academy sponsor CfBT in partnership with a parent group known locally as WoW (standing for west of Wokingham). The group feel that those living in the rural villages to the West of Wokingham are disadvantaged in securing a school place for their children as a result of the admissions arrangements for other schools in Wokingham which prioritise children living closest to schools. They feel that this means that they get “what’s left”, and have to travel long distances past their closest school. It was envisaged that establishing Oakbank would provide a school closer to home to which these children would be admitted. 4. Oakbank will be situated on the site of the old Ryeish Green School in Wokingham Borough. It is, however, closer to Reading than it is to the town of Wokingham, although the M4 separates the school from the south of Reading.

  • Headteacher's Message Christmas 2014
    Headteacher’s Message Christmas 2014 As you read through this Newsletter you will begin to appreciate and understand the enormous range of activities and experiences the pupils at Brookfields School undertake on a weekly basis. This was clearly illustrated at our annual Presentation Evening where students were presented numerous certificates and awards to celebrate both academic and other achievements. Visitors, parents and speakers referred to the broad, varied and exciting curriculum the school provides, tailor-made to the individual strengths, needs and personalities of our unique pupils. Many students who left school last year returned – it was a pleasure to talk to them and listen to just how well they are doing. Earlier, during half term, I was honoured to attend, with a number of colleagues, the Pride of Reading Awards Event. We had been nominated by Ruth Pearse, one of our parents, in recognition of our outstanding work with families. As many of you are aware we won the ‘School of the Year’, category, sponsored by Querty, a local company in Theale. Emily Pearse came up onto the stage to receive the trophy from Chris Tarrant. We had a delicious lunch, a delightful afternoon and were totally thrilled with the outcome! I have also recently received notification that our World Record attempt has been verified by Guinness World Records and we will soon receive our official certificate! Thank you Covea Insurance. Not such good news relating to the new 6th Form extension; we have encountered some difficulties with the West Berkshire Building Control and Planning regulations. Hopefully these will soon be resolved and we can start to occupy and use our fantastic new teaching rooms.

  • Xmas Jumper Day on Friday 12Th December the Senior Prefect Team Decided to Support Save the Children's National Christmas Jumper Day
    News The Windsor Boys' School Issue No 15 19th December 2014 Xmas Jumper Day On Friday 12th December the Senior Prefect team decided to support Save The Children's national Christmas Jumper Day. Staff and 6th form members donned their favourite festive jumper, with many donating £1 along the way. All proceeds of the day headed towards Save The Children and, our main charity for the year, Berkshire Autistic Society. The carol service practise taking place in the morning also helped heighten the sense of Christmas spirit around the school. Year 11s also sold doughnuts during break and lunch time on the day to help fund the upcoming school trip to Ecuador. With two successful charity events so far this school year, the Senior Prefect team and I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone that contributed and helped raise money for a great cause.

  • School Admission Arrangements PDF 510 KB
    Report Title: School Admission Arrangements Contains Confidential No - Part I or Exempt Information? Member reporting: Councillor Airey, Lead Member for Children Services Meeting and Date: Cabinet - 23 February 2017 Responsible Officer(s): Alison Alexander, Strategic Director of Adult, Children, and Health Services; Kevin McDaniel, Head of Schools and Education Services Wards affected: All REPORT SUMMARY 1. The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead is the admissions authority for all community and voluntary controlled schools in the borough, and sets the admissions criteria for these schools. The borough has a duty to determine the arrangements for 2018/19 by 28 February 2017. There are no proposed changes to the admission arrangements from the current arrangements 2. The Local Authority also has a statutory duty to formulate a scheme to co- ordinate admission arrangements for all publicly funded schools within their area for phase transfer, e.g. primary to secondary school. This report recommends a revision to section 6 of the co-ordinated admissions scheme to ensure it is compatible with the schemes adopted by neighbouring authorities regarding the allocation of school places from the waiting list. This will mean that following the initial allocation of school places, late applications will be added to the waiting list before further offers are made. 3. It is recommended that a similar variation is made to the co-ordinated admissions scheme for 2017/18, which was determined on 15 March 2016. 1. DETAILS OF RECOMMENDATION(S) RECOMMENDATION: That Cabinet notes the report and: i) Approves and thereby determines, the admissions arrangements for 2018/19 by the 28 February 2017 national deadline.
