I am very grateful for the support of scores of contributors and the hard work of Chris Potter and Kay Mitchell of the ow Society, together with our designer Jules Akel (ow). Last year the Wellington Year Book celebrated the visit of Her Majesty the Queen at the end of our anniversary year. This year there has been an accumulation of military material reaching the editorial team. So be it. For the first hundred years the Wellingtoniandna displayed military characteristics, to slip into a modern metaphor. The overwhelming majority were sons of soldiers. But even today there is still much keenness for military affairs, from the ccf, Field Gun run and Great War battlefield tours, to the resurrection of Wellington’s Cavalry tradition. On a more poignant note, very many ows joined the Royal Air Force in World War II, and their service in the battle of Britain is remembered in this 70th anniversary year. Above all we have been hugely surprised and encouraged by the sheer number of ows who have served in Iraq and Aghanistan, described in the ‘Dispatches’ article. Next year ? We hope to describe more fully some of the life of other Wellington institutions, the Academy in nearby Wiltshire and the College in not-so-far-away China. Finally, in this the 120th edition of the Wellington Year Book, it is well to reflect on its purpose. As the College’s flagship publication, it is designed to be an accurate account of events during the academic year, of pupils’ efforts and successes, of staff personalities, ofow news and insights into the wider College community. Many readers rely on the two gazette sections. Indeed as the one consistent record over the past 120 years, the Year Book is a comprehensive source of primary research material and thus has a central place in the newly reconstituted Archives, supporting the richness of Wellington’s history

  • Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the Differences Between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas
    Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the differences between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas This document should be read in conjunction with the School Places Strategy 2017 – 2022 and provides an explanation of the differences between the Wiltshire Community Areas served by the Area Boards and the School Planning Areas. The Strategy is primarily a school place planning tool which, by necessity, is written from the perspective of the School Planning Areas. A School Planning Area (SPA) is defined as the area(s) served by a Secondary School and therefore includes all primary schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into that secondary school. As these areas can differ from the community areas, this addendum is a reference tool to aid interested parties from the Community Area/Area Board to define which SPA includes the schools covered by their Community Area. It is therefore written from the Community Area standpoint. Amesbury The Amesbury Community Area and Area Board covers Amesbury town and surrounding parishes of Tilshead, Orcheston, Shrewton, Figheldean, Netheravon, Enford, Durrington (including Larkhill), Milston, Bulford, Cholderton, Wilsford & Lake, The Woodfords and Great Durnford. It encompasses the secondary schools The Stonehenge School in Amesbury and Avon Valley College in Durrington and includes primary schools which feed into secondary provision in the Community Areas of Durrington, Lavington and Salisbury. However, the School Planning Area (SPA) is based on the area(s) served by the Secondary Schools and covers schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into either The Stonehenge School in Amesbury or Avon Valley College in Durrington.
