Core Services Hub, Avon Valley College, Recreation Road, Durrington, SP4 8HH 4 Registered in England: 10163646 If English is an additional language you may want to contact the Ethnic Minority Achievement Service (EMAS) on 01225 713517.

A copy can be obtained from the Avon Valley College’s Admin Office. Operation of Waiting Lists Subject to any provisions regarding waiting lists in the Local Authority’s coordinated admission scheme, each Academy will operate a waiting list. Where in any year an Academy receives more applications for places than there are places available, a waiting list will operate. This will be maintained by the Trust and it will be open to any parent to ask for their child’s name to be placed on the waiting list, following an unsuccessful application. Where places become vacant, they will be allocated to children on the waiting list in accordance with the oversubscription criteria. The Local Authority will co-ordinate admissions for in-year applications and applications for year groups other than the normal point(s) of entry. Applications for Children of UK Service Personnel (UK Armed Forces) Applications for children of service personnel with a confirmed posting to the county will be considered in advance of the family moving into the county if necessary. Where possible, an application must be included in the normal admission round. An official letter, such as a posting note or letter of support from the Commanding Officer should be sent to the Academy as soon as possible. This should include relocation date and unit postal address or quartering area address (the address of the closest house in the nearest ‘quartering area’). Until a fixed address is available, the unit postal address or quartering area address will be used, and a school place allocated accordingly. The Academy will not refuse a child of UK service personnel a place because the family does not currently live in the area. It is also not permitted to reserve places for these children. Children will be considered to be siblings if any brother or sister has been formally offered and have accepted a place at the Academy. Their position on any waiting list will be set accordingly. For further advice, please contact the Customer Care Team at Wiltshire Council on 01225 713010. Applications for 6th Form All applications must be made directly to the College. Please visit: www.avonvalleycollege.org.uk, to see the subjects available and the entry requirements. Admissions Policy 2022-2023 Page 5 of 7 January 2021 Salisbury Plain Academies. Executive Principal: Sam Johnston. Core Services Hub, Avon Valley College, Recreation Road, Durrington, SP4 8HH 5 Registered in England: 10163646 All external applications will be considered in accordance with the same criteria as internal applications. Only in exceptional circumstances will applications be considered after the end of the first term, i.e. October half term. The oversubscription criteria for 6th Form are the same as listed in the Oversubscription details below. Tie Breaker If there are not enough places to satisfy all the applications under any one criterion, priority will be given to those living nearest the School. The School will adopt the measurement system of Wiltshire Council Local Authority to determine the distance from the School to the Home address. Where two or more applicants live an equal distance from the School and it is not possible to differentiate between them, priority will be determined by random allocation through the drawing of lots supervised by someone independent of the School. Oversubscription Where the College is oversubscribed (there are more applicants than places available), places will be allocated in accordance with the following criteria and in the following order. Sibling: means brother or sister, half brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, step brother or sister, foster brother or sister, or the child of the parent/carer’s partner where the child for whom admission is sought is living in the same family unit as that sibling and at the same address. Please read the explanatory notes for further guidance. a. Looked After Children / Previously Looked After Children A ‘looked after child’ or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order.

  • Cyril F Carey's Story
    ANZAC DAY 2014 - Commemoration The Christchurch earthquakes have shaken our lives and our memories. They have also unearthed many stories and it is thanks to the vigilance of a demolition crew that they did not throw away the tattered scrapbook found in the debris of a house last year but returned it to its family. That scrapbook provided the basis for the commemoration today. Lieutenant Cyril Fuller Carey Died of wounds November 7th 1916 Sling Camp, Salisbury Plain, England Cyril Fuller Carey was born in 1891, the second son of Mr and Mrs A F Carey, owners of Carey’s Ready Money store in Christchurch with Mr Carey being a well-known draper. Cyril attended Christchurch Boys’ High School in 1906 and 1907 and left school to join the Union Steam Ship Company as a cadet on the training ship Dartford. He trained at sea for several years and in 1912 left to follow ‘farming pursuits near Blenheim’. The outbreak of war saw Cyril join up, and while little is known of his training, he is listed as a Second Lieutenant in the 12th(Nelson) Infantry Regiment which left New Zealand in March 1916 as part of the 10th Reinforcements of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. The regiment spent a brief time in Egypt before moving to England to a camp on the Salisbury Plain known as Sling Camp. This was home to over 4000 NZ troops and served as a training ground for troops being sent to France and as a rehabilitation centre. The site is now overlooked by the Bulford Kiwi, carved by the soldiers into the limestone hill above the camp.

  • Of 10 Army Basing Briefing Note for Town And
    Army Basing Briefing Note for Town and Parish Councils - Updated June 2016 Purpose: To advise Town and Parish Councils to be affected by the British Army Basing programme of further progress on the MOD’s Army Basing plans. Background: The Army Basing Review1 announced by the Secretary of State for Defence on 5 March 2013, takes its lead from the new Army 2020 Plan outlined in July 20122 . It comprises two key elements: 1. Reaction Forces – at readiness, capable of war-fighting 2. Adaptable Forces – capable of persistent engagement at home and overseas In addition, Force Troops Brigades will provide a range of capabilities (engineer, artillery and medical support) from a centralised pool of resources to support the above, as well as a coordination and control function for key tasks, e.g. overseas capacity building. The Basing Plan, which commenced implementation in 2014, relocates a number of army units throughout the UK as well as relocating all units from Germany by 2020.on completion of the programme the Regular Army will consist of 82,000 personnel. Army Basing In Wiltshire: Following the Army Basing Review, undertaken by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and released in March 2013, the MOD has announced that the Reaction Force Brigade Headquarters will be centred on the Salisbury Plain Training Area, with three Armoured Infantry Brigades. The Salisbury Plain Training Area is the only place in the country where the Army can carry out complex and demanding training exercises. It is envisaged, however, that there will only be a marginal increase in training activity on the Salisbury Plain due to the training area’s finite capacity and the MOD’s undertaking not to compromise the environmental sustainability of habitats and archaeology.

  • Sentimental Equipment‟: New Zealand, the Great War and Cultural Mobilisation
    „Sentimental Equipment‟: New Zealand, the Great War and Cultural Mobilisation By Steven Loveridge A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Victoria University of Wellington 2013 ‗See that little stream - we could walk to it in two minutes. It took the British a month to walk to it - a whole empire walking very slowly, dying in front and pushing forward behind. And another empire walked very slowly backward a few inches a day, leaving the dead like a million bloody rugs … This western-front business couldn‘t be done again, not for a long time … This took religion and years of plenty and tremendous sureties and the exact relation that existed between the classes. …You had to have a whole-souled sentimental equipment [emphasis added] going back further than you could remember… This kind of battle was invented by Lewis Carroll and Jules Verne and whoever wrote Undine, and country deacons bowling and marraines in Marseilles and girls seduced in the back lanes of Wurtemburg and Westphalia. Why, this was a love battle - there was a century of middle-class love spent here … All my beautiful lovely safe world blew itself up here with a great gust of high explosive love‘.1 1 F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender is the Night (London, 1985), pp.67-68. ii Abstract During the First World War, New Zealand society was dominated by messages stressing the paramount importance of the war effort to which the country was so heavily committed.
