CELEBRATION TIME FOR BINGHAM SCHOOL

The children, staff and governors of Bingham’s Robert Miles Infant School are celebrating the outcome of their recent Ofsted inspection following the publication of their Ofsted report.

The school was visited by one of Her Majesty’s Inspectors who said that: “This is an outstanding school, which provides its pupils with a high level of care and excellent opportunities to learn and achieve to their full potential. The school is successful because of the outstanding leadership and guidance of the head teacher and the strong teamwork amongst all staff.”
Many strengths of the school were identified in the report which included:
- High standards in the school are achieved as a result of outstanding teaching and learning.
- Care, guidance and support are outstanding.
- Pupils behaviour is exemplary and they have very positive attitudes towards learning.
- All pupils are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage in their education.
- The school has an outstanding capacity to maintain the high quality of its work and to continue improving further.
Head Teacher, Janet Baker, told The Local News: “We are delighted with the Ofsted report because we believe it gives a true reflection of the quality of education our school provides. I would like to thank the children for their enthusiasm, the staff for their dedication and the parents and governors for their support.”

VILLAGE HALL UPGRADE

Keyworth Parish Council has had the Village Hall complex redecorated and refitted to make this already popular venue more attractive to its present and prospective users. The hall has been completely repainted and new curtains have been hung, which comply with fire regulations. The centenary lounge has also benefited from a repaint. Several tapestries which were looking a bit dated in the foyer have also had a makeover and these have been re-hung. The ladies’ and gentleman's toilets have been upgraded with new flooring. The last part of the project has just been completed with the reupholstering of all the chairs and benches in the Centenary Lounge.
The complex consists of the main hall, Centenary Lounge, Feignies room and bar room (which can be hired on its own or together with the hall or other rooms). The latest addition to the complex is the Feignies room that was formally dedicated in 2007 by the Mayor of Feignies. This room is extensively used by local village organisations for meetings. All the facilities are available for hire and full details can be obtained by calling Barbara Garthwaite on 0115 937 2185 .

PARKING RULES CHANGING IN RUSHCLIFFE

Changes to parking in Rushcliffe are to be made as from next month. Civil Parking Enforcement CPE) will start on Monday 12th May when the County Council takes over responsibility for on-street parking enforcement from the Police.

This involves taking over functions formerly carried out by traffic wardens such as illegal parking on single and double yellow lines, plus pay and display car park offences. CPE will be operated by the Notts Parking Partnership which comprises the County Council and the seven District and Borough Councils in Nottinghamshire (excluding the city). Enforcement staff will be supplied by NCP Services under a central contract with the County Council. The Borough Council will determine the hours of enforcement and will employ a parking manager to manage both on-street and off-street parking enforcement in Rushcliffe. The County Council will process all Penalty Charge Notices (parking ‘tickets’ or PCNs) in a single processing centre employing up to 15 staff. This centre will ensure a consistent approach is taken to deal with any challenges or arguments with parking tickets. A software system will be used which will link the processing centre with the Borough Council and with the enforcement officers. Disabled badge data will be incorporated into the central software to ensure efficient enforcement of disabled parking and permit use. NCP Services are expected to employ about 20 Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs) across the county. Rushcliffe will deploy four CEOs. The partnership has developed guidance on parking enforcement ensuring that PCNs are issued according to national and local standards and is consistent across the county.
 

EARTH MOVES FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN IN KEYWORTH

To mark National Science and Engineering Week, the British Geological Survey (BGS) ran a Fossil and Rock Show at its headquarters in Keyworth. Nearly 1,000 children and their teachers from primary schools across the East Midlands learnt how to pan for gold, record their own earthquake and tiptoe through time with spectacular fossils from the Geological Survey’s internationally renowned own collections.

BGS was recently at the heart of the media whirlwind that followed the Market Rasen earthquake. A geologist was on hand to demonstrate to primary school children and their teachers how earthquakes are recorded. Everyone was able to make their own earthquake and take away a copy of the same sort of seismic trace that was used to record the power of the Market Rasen earthquake last month.
The British Geological Survey encourages interest in the Earth's resources and history with a programme of events for the public, schools and teachers alike. The events are aimed to encourage everyone to take an active interest in science, technology and geology in particular, helping to inspire a future generation of local scientists.
Dr David Bailey, Head of Outreach at the British Geological Survey, said: "The BGS works to bring earth science alive for people of all ages. We were very excited to open our doors during National Science and Engineering Week and hope everyone who visited will be encouraged to learn more about geology and science in general. Perhaps some of the young people taking part will be inspired to become the geologists of the future."
"Geology is central to our lives; it affects the water we drink, the dwellings we live in, the fuel that drives our vehicles and even the jewellery we wear around our necks. Our Science Week activities are a fun way of generating understanding of our natural resources among schools and the general public. “It is particularly important for young people to understand that the way in which we manage our environment and exploit our resources will have consequences for many generations to come."

THE FOOD CHAMPIONS

Rushcliffe Borough Council is the East Midlands regional food champion. The Council beat off stiff competition from 72 other applications to be crowned as one of six regional champions in community diet and nutrition in the Food Standards Agency’s Food Champions Awards.
National food experts judged the Council’s innovative and inspirational work and now the regional award winners go forward to try and win the coveted national Food Champion Award which takes place at the House of Commons in London on Wednesday 11th June. The Council’s bid to win an award was supported and developed with its main partner in encouraging people to eat healthily. Notts County teaching Primary Care Trust
the Borough Council and the PCT jointly employ a health development officer, Rose Melvin, who leads the passionate drive with the environmental health team to encourage adults and children to follow a balanced diet, eat well and lead a healthy lifestyle. The Council also ensures food outlets are clean and sell safe food, follow good food practices and procedures and trains food handlers.
Allen Graham, chief executive at Rushcliffe Borough Council, said: “We have a very positive and fruitful working relationship with our local Primary Care Trust and together we make a real difference to people’s lives. This award is a testament to the dedication, innovation and hard work of staff.
Dr Clive Richards, consultant in public health medicine at Nottinghamshire County teaching PCT said: "This award is a great achievement for our partnership and shows the advantages of working together.”
 

TOP AWARD FOR MEDIA GROUP

The Media Group (TMG), based at the Wilford Business Park, has received three certificates to confirm that their services have been recognised by a top international kitemark.

TMG has been awarded ISO 9001, the international standard for an organisation’s internal quality management, with certificates being awarded to each of their three divisions.
The Media Group is run by Managing Director Keith Daniell and his wife and co-Director Alison Daniell. They told The Local News: “We are proud to receive the award. The assessors paid us a marvellous compliment by saying that we are doing things the right way. “Normally the award is accompanied by some action points but for us there were none. Getting an ISO award is recognition of our process and systems and is a crucial factor in winning major contracts,” Keith added.
Since being established as a limited company in 2001, TMG has expanded to employ more than 60 staff, spread over three divisions, which are; media, outsourced administration (TMG Support) and TMG CRB, which is one of the country’s largest umbrella bodies for the Criminal Records Bureau.
 

IMPROVEMENTS TO BINGHAM COMMUTER ROUTE

The X1 commuter route from Bingham to Nottingham is to undergo minor changes from this month. The service by localbus has proved a real hit with customers since it’s launch last December.

Now following customer feedback, minor changes are being made as from Monday 21st April. A localbus spokesman told The Local News: “Every week the customer numbers increase now word is spreading that the X1 is both fantastic value for money and very reliable. This peak-time service from Whatton and Aslockton, Bingham and Radcliffe Harlequin speeds commuters into Nottingham. The city centre loop means customers can get on and off at Broadmarsh and Victoria Centres and some journeys even extend to the QMC.
“We recently asked our customers how we could make the X1 even better and they told us: they loved our great value fares, the city loop was good but they also wanted to get on at Friar Lane, and the afternoon return buses could be better timed.
“Our great value and very popular ‘10trip’ ticket will be even better value for money, because the price is reduced to just £10, so that’s just £1 per trip! Then in the afternoon buses now run every 20 minutes and after starting at Victoria Centre will call at Friar Lane (stop F2) on the way to Broadmarsh (Collin Street), the Train Station and then out to Bingham. And for a little extra comfort, we’ll be using one of Premiere’s luxury coaches on the longer journeys to and from Whatton.”

CELEBRATING GUIDING IN RUSHCLIFFE

With Girlguiding UK celebrating its centenary in 2010, plans are already underway to mark the achievement with a series of events throughout the year.

But to ensure that 2010 is a truly memorable milestone for every one of its 9,000 members across the county, Girlguiding Nottinghamshire has issued a plea for sponsors to come forward. County Commissioner Dee Miles told The Local News: “We are already booking venues in order to ensure adequate facilities for the sheer numbers involved, so are having to draw heavily on our own funds. The team organising the programme estimates the costs for the celebration year will be in the region of £150,000, much of which will be taken up by venue hire. “We do intend to self-fund as far as possible but we’re also inviting the business and commercial community across Nottinghamshire to consider providing sponsorship.” If you can help call 0115 987 7220 or email secretary@girlguidingnottinghamshire.org.uk

DAYNCOURT CELEBRATES SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING WEEK

The Science Department at Dayncourt School in Radcliffe-on-Trent provided a variety of events to students in Years 3, 5, 8 and 9 as part of National Science and Engineering Week. This is a ten-day celebration of science, engineering and technology which sees families, schools, adults and children taking part in a fantastic array of events and activities across the country.


This year the school was awarded a grant of £500 by the East Midlands section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science to help to fund a morning of science activities for Year 5 pupils from their feeder schools. These included; Radcliffe-on-Trent Junior School, Cotgrave Candleby Lane School and Cotgrave Church of England Primary School. A total of 22 of their most hard-working Year 9 students were on hand to help the visitors with some practical work. The Year 5 pupils worked in the school laboratories using a technique called flame testing to identify some mystery chemicals. When a salt is heated up, it gives off a particular colour that can be used to identify the metal. The pupils were all enthusiastic about their experience.
Emma said: “I learnt how to flame test. It was fun and I learned that science isn’t boring.”
Leonie added: “I have enjoyed doing the work although I was a bit scared at the start. I was not confident with fire at the beginning of the lesson but now I’m confident with fire. I loved this lesson and it was fun. I have learned how to use a Bunsen burner. I thought that using a Bunsen is very easy and interesting.”

RUDDINGTON HGV PROBLEM DISCUSSED AT MEETING

A well attended public meeting was held in St. Peter's Rooms in Ruddington last month to discuss the ever increasing problem of HGVs using the village. Lorries use Ruddington as a rat run between the A453 (M1) and A60 and vice-versa.
The residents left no doubt of their anger and frustration with the authorities at lack of action on their part to stop this type of traffic. To get their message across a Working Party was formed to look at various methods to resolve this problem, some of which were suggested at the meeting. A list of names was also taken of people who volunteered to help with any surveys or related matters. It was also accepted that unless something is done the situation will only get worse due to more houses being built in Ruddington and new businesses in the area. Full support from the three Councillors from the Parish Environmental Committee who arranged the meeting was given by them. They also expressed appreciation for the turnout and the willingness of the residents to get something done.
The Parish Council Office in St Peter's Rooms can be contacted by calling 0115 9146 660 or by sending an email to ruddpc@talk21.com

LOCAL HOCKEY CLUB THROUGH TO FINAL

South Nottingham Hockey Club are through to the final of the England Hockey Vase semi-final. They played Ashbourne HC at Bingham and ran out deserved winners by seven goals to nil.

South got off to a fine start after only eight minutes through a piledriver from Jon Lane which was deflected over the Ashbourne 'keeper off a defender's stick. On 19 minutes, Saleem took the ball to the right of the D and delivered an inch-perfect cross which David Ebbage met at full stretch to put South two-up. A second goal by Jon Lane had the supporters cheering again as South went in three-up at the break. Ashbourne tried their best to respond, but South were just too strong and the second-half saw the Derbyshire side's discipline desert them, and a flurry of four bookings saw the visitors down to ten men several times. The final fifteen minutes saw Ashbourne lose their keeper to a red card, which required them to bring on a defender as their 'reserve' keeper. South added goals in the second half through Adam Innocent (2), Martin Ebbage and Stuart Croston and South were well worth their win. South will face University College London Academicals HC in the final on Saturday 3rd May at Old Loughtonians in Chigwell, Essex.
