  • Uniform Letter.PDF File Download
    Dosthill Primary Academy High Street, Dosthill, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B77 1LQ 01827 213845 Part of the office@dosthill.org Fierté Multi-Academy Trust Tuesday 18th June, Dear parents and carers, I would like to write to you to outline the new uniform policy from September 2019. As a governing body, we are intent on ensuring that our school continues to thrive and prosper in all aspects of school life. The new logo has enabled us to reflect upon and consider how to further improve the uniform that children wear at Dosthill Primary Academy and there are a few changes that we would like to share with you along with the reasons for these amendments. Jumpers or cardigans with the old logo can be worn alongside the new knit wear up until January 2020 as we realise that you may have some uniform that still fits your child/children. However, the name of the school on the old logo is no longer the name of our school which is another reason why the changes have been made and will be phased out by January. Our bottle green colour gives our school a sense of belonging and this colour will remain. The main changes are that the jumpers, tank tops and cardigans are knit wear rather than sweater style. The new uniform also consists of a shirt and tie so the knit wear is a V-neck style. At our last governors meeting we agreed that every child will be provided with their first tie. Similarly to Glascote Primary Academy, shirt and ties are being introduced to link in with the Fierté promises of: 'Pride in my Work, Pride in Myself, Pride in my School, Pride in my Community.' The new uniform will encompass the idea of pride in our appearance.

  • Suggested Routes from Glascote Basin
    Suggested routes from Glascote Basin Glascote Basin Boatyard is located just outside Tamworth on the Coventry Canal within easy reach of the heart of England’s historic canal system. Ideally positioned for short or long breaks, Heart of England canal holidays offer a variety of cruising durations and destinations which are equally suited to the inexperienced or seasoned canal boat cruiser. When planning your route, please remember that your boat will be ready around 2.30p.m. on the first day of your holiday and that handover procedures take about 90 minutes. Leaving Glascote Basin at approximately 4 p.m. will give you approximately 3 to 4 cruising hours depending on the time of year. Working on an average of 3 miles per hour cruising and 10 minutes per lock will give you an estimate of where you will be able to reach by the end of the first day. Full days are based on 7.5 to 8 hours travelling so if you are planning a more leisurely trip, please take this into account. Travel duration in the following suggested routes is for indication only and not representative of exact hire periods. Please also remember that the boat must be returned to Glascote Basin no later than 9.00 a.m. on the last day of your holiday so do take account of this when planning your return journey. Please note, these routes are suggestions only and you should always check that the route is possible within your time frame, current weather conditions and canal stoppages etc. before you make a journey.

  • Stafford District Transport Strategy 2011 to 2026
    November 2011 DRAFT TAMWORTH BOROUGH INTEGRATED TRANSPORT STRATEGY 2011 - 2026 District Profile: Tamworth Borough is located 18 miles from the West Midlands conurbation. It has a compact urban form with a population of approximately 76,000. Despite good levels of employment there are still pockets of deprivation, especially in Glascote, Amington, Belgrave and Stoneydelph. Tourism and retail play an important role in the Borough’s economy. Visitor attractions include a Norman Castle, Snowdome, Ventura Park retail development, as well as Drayton Manor Park which is located adjacent to the Borough boundary. Tamworth has good connections to the national transport network. The A5(T) provides links to Cannock, Nuneaton, the M42 and the M6 Toll. The A51, A513 and A4091 local routes also run north-south through the Borough. It is estimated that 50% of the working population out-commute each day to work and 69% of employed residents drive to work. Around 6% travel by bus which is higher than most other Districts in Staffordshire and walk and cycling levels are similar to national averages. Tamworth is well served by a local bus network and has hourly or more frequent daytime bus services to Lichfield and the West Midlands conurbation. These bus services are supported by the Tamworth Community Transport scheme which provides transport by mini bus and car for local residents. Tamworth rail station is located in close proximity to the town centre, whilst Wilnecote station is to the south of the town centre near Two Gates. Both stations are located on the Cross Country line between Birmingham / Tamworth / Burton upon Trent whilst Tamworth station is also located on the West Coast Mainline.
