  • 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.

  • Bramcote CAT Meeting 5 December 2016 – the Official Unofficial Minutes
    Bramcote CAT Meeting 5 December 2016 – The Official Unofficial Minutes The Meeting was chaired by Councillor John Doddy. Councillor Martin Plackett was on the platform. Café in the Park The meeting started with David Watts giving an update on the Café in the Park. There were two expressions of interest to Broxtowe Borough Council to build a café in Bramcote Hills Park: The Community Interest Company and the Park’s ice cream vendor. The Council voted to select the Community Interest Company. This has members rather than shareholders and anybody can pay £1 and become a member. David Watts said he was going straight from the CAT Meeting to a meeting that the Community Interest Company was having with Tim Crawford from Broxtowe Borough Council to see what the Council is expecting from the Company. The next stage will be fundraising which is expected to take 12 months. A local quantity surveyor has offered his services and the Company is working with architects to design the building. It is expected that building will start in 2018 and finish at the end of 2018. A question was raised as to whether local architects and builders are being used. David Watts said architects in Nottingham, Leicester and Worcester had submitted design ideas. A local architect had been involved initially but was unable to continue the work. The Company will work with a local builder. A comment was made that the Council wanted small local businesses involved but it was impractical to do this. Councillor Martin Plackett registered his support for the project and commented that Foxwood School were supportive.

This has led the way in delivering new and innovative ways for people to use their local parks for physical activity and so to benefit their health. Over the last three years, seven of Greenwood’s parks have seen activities not previously dreamed of. Toddlers have burned off energy by seeking out Santa and Fidget the Fairy, whilst adults have gained from low impact exercise and structured diet advice. There have been big, high profile events, like the “Dri-triathlon” which attracted hundreds of children to Bramcote Hills Park, and the “Active8” programme that Active England's main aim was to crammed eight different activities into one weekend at Sherwood Forest National increase participation in sport and Nature Reserve. physical activity among all sections There have also been many individual events.
