We have had such a busy and productive first term of this academic year. September seems a long time ago now – when we welcomed all of our new students into Year 7 and the school was more full than it had ever been. Year 7 students have settled in really well and are already making good progress in their learning. There have been many highlights this half term for you to read about in this edition. We were all particularly proud of the entire school on Remembrance Day – always a stunningly moving occasion at Lealands and this year was no exception as the whole school observed two minutes silence together with perfect respectful behaviour from everyone. It has also been fantastic to see so much that our students have been taking responsibility for. Year 11s arranged and ran a fantastic disco for Year 7 students to raise money for their Prom. And our very enterprising Year 11 students have had great success in their Young Enterprise work. Our student voice teams have really been getting active and showing great initiative. In addition to all this, there has also been some very adventurous activity with a group of Year 9s visiting Blue Peris, in North Wales, for a week. It also feels like Lealands has been on a winning streak with so many sports team wins. We have some very talented and dedicated students who have worked hard and enabled us all to join in celebrating their successes. Our very strong focus on reading and literacy continues as the key to successful learning throughout the curriculum. Not only is the Accelerated Reader programme continuing so well, we also have a wide range of support and interventions to enhance the reading of all our students. Peer readers are doing a fantastic job, every week, of supporting their fellow students lower down the school. If you are following us on Twitter or Facebook, you will be aware that there is so much going on all the time as we do our very best to enhance the educational experience for all our students. As we come towards the end of term, we are looking forward to the Christmas Concerts and I hope we will see many of you there. You will also be able to see the 5 Christmas trees we have in the Atrium this year. There is one for each year group and they are 3 Headteacher’sHeadteacher’s IntroductionIntroduction ~~ ContinuedContinued covered in our students’ Christmas wishes.

  • Luton Motor Town
    Contents Luton: Motor Town Luton: Motor Town 1910 - 2000 The resources in this pack focus on the major changes in the town during the 20th century. For the majority of the period Luton was a prosperous, optimistic town that encouraged forward-looking local planning and policy. The Straw Hat Boom Town, seeing problems ahead in its dependence on a single industry, worked hard to attract and develop new industries. In doing so it fuelled a growth that changed the town forever. However Luton became almost as dependant on the motor industry as it had been on the hat industry. The aim of this pack is to provide a core of resources that will help pupils studying local history at KS2 and 3 form a picture of Luton at this time. The primary evidence included in this pack may photocopied for educational use. If you wish to reproduce any part of this park for any other purpose then you should first contact Luton Museum Service for permission. Please remember these sheets are for educational use only. Normal copyright protection applies. Contents 1: Teachers’ Notes Suggestions for using these resources Bibliography 2: The Town and its buildings 20th Century Descriptions A collection of references to the town from a variety of sources. They illustrate how the town has been viewed by others during this period. Luton Council on Luton The following are quotes from the Year Book and Official Guides produced by Luton Council over the years. They offer an idea of how the Luton Council saw the town it was running.

  • Report on Core Areas of Work
    Formatted APPENDIX A - REPORT ON CORE AREAS OF WORK Carriageway Resurfacing Programme 1. Luton‟s highway network is an essential communication link that serves almost everyone everyday of the week and for a wide variety of reasons from simply visiting friends and relatives to vital business deliveries. Roads are an extremely valuable asset and in Luton their Gross Replacement Value is currently £470.25m. 2. In 2011/12 we delivered 33 resurfacing schemes and spent c. £1,500,000 of capital and revenue funding. However, with another severe winter in 2010/11 many roads had deteriorated further with the long period of freeze/thaw leading to the accelerated break- up of carriageway surfaces, with extensive cracking, crazing and potholes. 3. In addition in March 2011 the Department for Transport allocated £248,006 of Winter Pothole Funding to LBC following severe winter weather. This was used for large area road patching with over 28 roads treated. 4. Weather predictions for future years indicate an increasing trend for more exceptional weather conditions resulting in further pressure on already reducing maintenance budgets. Highway maintenance is increasingly a matter of managing the deterioration of assets. 5. The classified road (A, B & C roads) network is assessed annually using nationally developed criteria and the unclassified network is assessed every two years. Figures supplied to government show that we are currently only spending half of what would be required to maintain Luton‟s roads in their current condition. 361 resurfacing schemes have been identified following carriageway condition surveys of the road network. 6. Based upon results of the assessments, and referrals from area Highway Inspectors, Highway Services has developed a programme of work for carriageways which need immediate and significant improvement.

It is nearly four years since the school was last inspected when we were rated good with outstanding behaviour and safety. This inspection is designed to test whether the school has maintained the standards since its previous inspection. I am not yet able to give the outcome as it is confidential until the report is published within the next couple of weeks. However, I would like to thank students, parents and staff for all their support during the inspection process – it is hugely appreciated and I know that inspectors got an accurate view of our school.

They have all worked exceptionally hard this year and deserve every success. It will be sad to see this year group leave as they have contributed so much to the development of the school. During this term staff have already begun thinking about next year. As I am sure you are aware, there are many many changes that the Government is bringing in from September. One of the most significant is a new national curriculum. Our staff will be planning and training during the course of this term so that we are well prepared for September.
