Recently, the Executive Headeacher at St Cuthbert’s and Fountains Earth has announced that she is leaving her current post with effect from Easter 2021. In light of this, we are now looking at forming a federation of three schools (Glasshouses, St Cuthbert’s and Fountains Earth), which will hopefully take place either in September 2021 or January 2022. Following discussion between governors at all schools, and working closely with the Local Authority, I am delighted to announce that as from January, Nicola Thornber will begin a handover process with the outgoing head at St Cuthbert’s/Fountains Earth, and on Monday 12th April she will become acting head of all three schools; St Cuthbert’s and Fountains Earth Federation and Glasshouses. Once the federation formally takes place, she will become permanent head of the federation. This is great news for Glasshouses School - it reflects the hard work and success that Miss Thornber has achieved during her time as headteacher here. Further communication will be shared with parents in due course regarding this, together with information about how the changes will impact Glasshouses School from January, when the handover process will commence.

  • First World War Research Project the IMPACT on the LANDSCAPE of NIDDERDALE BROUGHT ABOUT by the FIRST WORLD WAR
    NIDDERDALE AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY First World War Research Project THE IMPACT ON THE LANDSCAPE OF NIDDERDALE BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE FIRST WORLD WAR Project Overview The First World War & Nidderdale AONB Centenary Project aims to reveal the impact of the First World War on the landscape and communities of Nidderdale AONB. A large proportion of the volunteer research project has looked at the family history and service record of men named on war memorials and others who served in the forces. However, part of the project remit sought to identify any wider implications for the landscape of this upland area that may have been brought about by the First World War. The impact on the Landscape In a Scoping Report prepared by Linda Smith for the Project, a subject for further research was suggested, namely a comparison between the 1910 Land Valuation Survey and the 1941 Farm Survey as a way of establishing changes in the landscape brought about by the demands of the war. The aim is to investigate if it is possible to establish how factors such as the absence of labour force changed farming methods, and if the necessity of feeding and provisioning the War effort changed farming methods and practice in this part of North Yorkshire? In summary, the scoping study suggested use of the 1910 Valuation Office books and maps as a starting point in a trial area and compare with 1940-43 Agricultural Surveys to get a picture of change over this period at field and farm scale. This could be achieved by choosing a map square, ordering the map online from the National Archives and following up with a visit to North Yorkshire County Records Office to examine the relevant Valuation Books and later agricultural surveys.

    Nidderdale Primary School Federation Darley Community Primary School Fountains Earth Church of England Primary School Glasshouses Community Primary School St Cuthbert’s Church of England Primary School Summerbridge Community Primary School 26 February 2020 Dear Parents, Staff and Governors The Governing Bodies of the Federation of Fountains Earth and St Cuthbert's CE Primary Schools, Darley and Summerbridge Community Primary School Federation, and Glasshouses Community Primary School are consulting parents, staff and the local community on a proposal to change how the schools are led and managed. What is being proposed? The proposal is to federate the schools from 8th September 2020. The federation would be called the Nidderdale Primary School Federation. The Governors of all the schools would welcome your views on our proposal. This paper sets out what federation would mean, how federation is different from collaboration and how you can make your views known. The Governors believe that there are many positive outcomes both in the medium and long term for each of the local Primary Schools. There are numerous ways in which partnership working will create opportunities and efficiencies which will allow all 5 schools to develop and improve the quality and breadth of education they provide, while maintaining their own unique character. What is federation? A federation is a formal agreement between two or more schools to work in partnership to raise standards, find new ways of improving teaching and learning, and build on the strengths of each school. Federation allows partner schools to work together and combine the strengths of all schools through sharing a governing body and other resources.
