Many thanks to all 8 candidates for the parent governor vacancies. Thank you also to all the parents that voted in this process, your support is appreciated. The two successful candidates were Su Turner and Deborah Varley. The LGB are looking forward to continuing their work with Su and welcoming Deborah to the Board.

Regards, Emma Fletcher (Clerk to Governors)

Normally students at Brine Leas act responsibly and I am very proud of all of them all.

Unfortunately, over the last week, there have been three separate reports of poor behaviour regarding students walking on the way home from school. Brine Leas School has always taken full responsibility for the behaviour of students whilst in school uniform; this applies to those on the buses, cycling or walking to and from school.

Please talk to your child about their responsibilities in representing themselves, their families and the school. Anti-social behaviour cannot and will not be tolerated and I will not hesitate to give appropriate sanctions to those children who choose to misbehave. In particular, the use of foul/abusive language and not allowing pedestrians to get past them has to stop. I expect this behaviour to improve.

There is a tiny minority of students who are choosing to act in such a way, but unfortunately their actions taint the 99% of students who behave responsibly.

I hope that you will support the school in insisting on the highest standards of behaviour from your child, be it during interactions with their friends, to those with children from other schools as well as to members of the public.

Yours faithfully

Andrew Cliffe

Brine Leas School, part of the Brine Multi Academy Trust – Consultation on proposed admission arrangements for the 2020/21 academic year

• Admissions Policy 2020-21

The Trustees of the Brine Multi Academy Trust are consulting on the Academy’s admission arrangements. These arrangements are for students who will be starting in Year 7 in September 2020, or requesting admission to the Academy between September 2020 and July 2021. The consultation is taking place for a period of six weeks, between 3rd December 2018 and 18th January 2019. The Trustees of the Brine Multi Academy Trust are responsible for offering or refusing places at the Academy. We would welcome your views on the proposed change.

There is one proposed change to the existing policy, which will be considered by the Trustees. The proposed change is as follows:

1. The order of the oversubscription criteria will change. The change means that Children resident within the designated catchment area of the school as defined on the Cheshire East website, move to be a higher priority than Siblings.

There are no other changes to the policy.

The process of the Consultation

The Consultation is being communicated by the Trustees of the Brine Multi Academy Trust as follows:
Notification to Cheshire East Local Authority
Notification to all neighbouring Admissions Authorities – Cheshire West and Chester Local Authority, Shropshire Local Authority, Staffordshire Local Authority, Shavington Multi Academy Trust
Notification to all parents, carers and guardians of the Brine Leas School by email.
Brine Leas School website and Twitter.

Recipients are welcomed to respond by emailing comments relating to the proposed admissions arrangements above to head@brineleas.co.uk no later than 18th January 2019.

Comments will be considered by Trustees prior to publication.
