An area of Made Ground was observed within WS1 and WS2 to a maximum depth of 1.00m begl. Natural granular deposits comprising the weathered Nottingham Castle Sandstone Formation were encountered from a minimum depth of 0.05m begl and graded into competent sandstone from 0.80m begl. 1.0.5 For the proposed single storey extension the Made Ground encountered within WS1 and WS2 is not considered to comprise a suitable founding stratum. Therefore, trench fill foundations with a maximum allowable bearing capacity of 150kN/m2 can be assumed for design calculations where the foundations are being taken down to bear on the natural granular deposits of at least medium dense consistency at approximately 1.20m begl. Due to the nature of the development and ground conditions encountered it would be prudent to adopt a similar foundation solution to that of the existing building to avoid undermining the foundations of the existing structure and long term issues with differential settlement. It is recommended that the foundation and engineered fill perimeter in the footprint of the extension is exposed at the earliest opportunity to establish the existing construction along the elevation and confirm the foundation recommendations above are appropriate. 1.0.6 For the proposed single storey classroom unit trench fill foundations with a maximum allowable bearing capacity of 200kN/m2 can be assumed for design calculations where the foundations are being taken down to bear on the natural granular deposits of at least medium dense consistency at approximately 1.00m begl. This value incorporates a factor of safety of 3 and total settlements calculated are not expected 3 to exceed approximately 25mm, thereby keeping differential settlements within acceptable limits. Should higher loadings be required a member of HSP’s team should be consulted. 1.0.7 Groundwater entries were not encountered within the boreholes during the drilling process. Shallow groundwater entries may be encountered during earthworks operations. However, traditional sump and pump dewatering should be sufficient within all excavations at the site if required. 1.0.8 It is considered appropriate to adopt a basic Design Sulphate Class of DS-1 together with an Aggressive Chemical Environment for Concrete (ACEC) of AC-1 when considering the concrete classification. 1.0.9 Analysis of the chemical testing undertaken on samples retrieved from the site has suggested that remedial measures should not be required. The approval of the Local Environmental Health Officer should be sought with respect to the contaminated land assessment of the site. 1.0.10 Gas and groundwater monitoring has not been commissioned as part of this assessment. At this stage gas monitoring is not considered to be required as we understand that the proposed single storey system built unit(s) are elevated above ground level on brick plinths or legs which leaves a clear void beneath. Confirmation from the Client’s chosen contractor regarding void cladding materials and ventilation is recommended. 1.0.11 Should a traditional structure be proposed at the site it would be prudent to undertake gas monitoring in order to obtain an indication of the ground gas regime at the site and allow recommendations for gas protection measures to be incorporated within any design. 1.0.12 The executive summary contains an overview of key findings and conclusions. However, no reliance should be placed on the executive summary until the whole of the report has been read. Other sections of the report may contain information which puts into context the findings noted within the executive summary. 1.0.13 If development proposals or boundary lines change, the client should contact HSP Consulting Engineers Ltd to ensure that these changes do not present a necessity for further work or further consideration of the findings of this report. 4 2.0 Introduction 2.0.1 HSP Consulting was instructed by GF Tomlinson Ltd on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council to carry out an intrusive geotechnical and environmental investigation of the site. Development plans for the site indicate a single storey system built extension to the existing Foundation Stage building which will include toilets and a kitchen area and a single storey system built unit to the northern section of the school site which will form additional teaching accommodation. 2.0.2 This

  • Safeguarding of Children in Our Church
    Safeguarding Children and Young People Policy and Procedures The Parish of All Hallows, Ordsall This policy is a framework that requires completion and regular review in your parish Please add local information and details at all relevant points marked * 2013 Principles of the House of Bishop’s Policy for Safeguarding Children Every person has a value and dignity which comes directly from the creation of male and female in God’s own image and likeness. Christians see this potential as fulfilled by God’s re-creation of us in Christ. Among other things this implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm. Principles We are committed to: The care, nurture of, and respectful pastoral ministry with, all children and all adults. The safeguarding and protection of all children, young people and adults when they are vulnerable. The establishing of safe, caring communities which provide a loving environment where there is a culture of ‘informed vigilance’ as to the dangers of abuse. We will carefully select and train all those with any responsibilities within the Church, in line with safer recruitment principles, including the use of the Disclosure and Barring Service. We will respond without delay to every complaint made which suggests that an adult, child or young person may have been harmed, co-operating with the police and local authority in any investigation. We will seek to work with anyone who has suffered abuse, developing with him or her an appropriate ministry of informed pastoral care. We will seek to challenge any abuse of power, especially by anyone in a position of trust.

  • Governor Newsletter – Spring 2017
    Governor Newsletter – Spring 2017 Welcome to the latest edition of our Governor Newsletter. At the start of the school year, we welcomed 60 new children in to Foundation and there have been new children throughout other year groups. BHPS continues to be a popular school with a large number of children on the waiting list for the Foundation Year Group. We are beginning to reach capacity in all other year groups and are nearing our overall capacity of 420 children. There seems to be no time of year when school life is quiet – not only is school life busy, the work undertaken by Governor’s keeps them busy too! During the past year we have welcomed three new Governor’s, Katherine Calder, Callum Bett and Claire Tonks. Each of them brings a different skill set to complement the skills we have within the Governing Body. We said goodbye to Margaret Summerfield, Yael Maier, Juliette Sunderland and Sue Headland and would like to thank them all for their work and commitment during their terms of office. Details of the new Governors, along with the rest of the Governing Body can be found on the school website. In addition, there is a brief introduction to all Governors at the end of this newsletter. Of course the last year has seen a time of change with the recruitment of our Headteacher, Pete Taylor. Governors have supported him whilst he settled in to his new role and you will be aware of some of the changes Pete has implemented during his time here. Pete is passionate about ensuring the continued success of the school.

  • February 2019
    Focus On Feb Bramcote 2019 Edited by Hannah Land, Ian Tyler and David Watts www.BroxtoweLibDems.org School Cuts Special Report Research by Bramcote Liberal Democrats has shown the impact that cuts to school funding have had in our schools. An examination of the budgets for Bramcote College, Alderman White School, Bramcote C of E Primary School and Bramcote Hills Primary School (the figures for Foxwood were not available) shows that all four have suffered significant real terms cuts in their budgets over the past four years. In each school this means that average class sizes have gone up. Our study of figures from the Department for Education shows that between 2015/16 and 2019/20 schools in Bramcote will have lost, in real terms, more than £500,000 of income a year, which works out at a massive £306.46 per pupil. The effect of this is that across all four schools the average class size has gone up by 1.5 pupils per class. This means that teachers inevitably have less time to spend with each pupil and the quality of education is Bramcote College - a real terms cut of therefore bound to suffer. £119,177 per year The research by the Lib- Dems has also shown the effect of cuts to education across Nottinghamshire. Across the county as a whole the real terms cut is £16.4 million per year, Bramcote C of E Primary School - a equivalent to £157 per real terms cut of £34,937 per year pupil. The cuts in Bramcote are nearly double this, which means that our schools have Bramcote Hills Primary School - a real borne a disproportionately terms cut of £55,705 per year large part of the reduction.

  • Childcare-And-Schools-0808.Pdf
    Childcare and Schools Schooling If your children are between the ages of 5 and 16 years of age, and your study or work will keep you in Nottingham for at least six months, then the Local Education Authority will provide a place for them at a state school, near to where you live. If there is more than one school near to you then ask other parents in your neighbourhood for their recommendation. We also recommend that you arrange to visit the schools to find out more about them. You must provide evidence of your child’s date of birth (passport or birth certificate) when they enrol at school. It is also helpful to provide the school with translated copies of your child’s most recent school reports as well as a bilingual dictionary. The International Office has general information about the education system and local primary (5-11 years) and secondary (12-18 years) schools. This is also available in Korean, Complex Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Farsi and Arabic. General Information The school system is split into two parts. The primary stage is for children between 5 years to 11 years old. Year R (Reception) is the first year, Year 6 is the final primary year. Years 7 to 11 are the secondary stage for children aged between 11 and 16 years old. Education is compulsory until the age of 16. After the age of 16 students may continue their education for 2 more years at either a college or in secondary schools which have provision for years 12 and 13.
