Other Information

Burford School is located in Marlow Bottom. Its catchment area is the village itself, although many children do liveoutside the catchment. We are always at capacity and are currently trying to extend the school hall in order toaccommodate all the children comfortably.

The school is a healthy school and runs many before school, lunchtime and after school activities. We do not have anursery but the local nursery does collect children after school. A minibus collects older children and takes them to anafterschool club based in Marlow.

Burford School has for many years been proud of all the work it does to keep the children safe and is constantlyreviewing its policies and procedures.

We are always concerned about the amount of traffic that passes the school and hence have developed a STP tofocus parents and the local community. We regularly write in the fortnightly head teacher's newsletters and consultparents and the local community about the issues we face.

We are a very hard working and dedicated team of volunteers, trying to make it safer for the children to travel toschool. We need more parents to volunteer however. We run Going For Gold (stamping), Walk to School weeks, Biketo School weeks, the Tour De Burford week, Footsteps training for years 1, 2, 3 and 6, Spokes Biking Training foryears 5 and 6, JRSOs, police contact, parish council contact, newspaper and magazine contact. We attend and runassemblies and the JRSOs run fun competitions for the children.

Parents are advisedwhere our park and walkzones are. All parentsreceive the inductionleaflet which indicateswhere the zones are. Weencourage them to parkthere and walk the rest.The Village HallPreschool uses thesame car park so one ofthese park and walkzones is very busy.

PT6private coaches forschool trips pick upand set down insafe / accessibleplaces.

We use variouscoach companies -such as Heyfordian,M&M Coaches.Regular coach tripswe make includeweekly swimming forthe children in year3. We use 1 coach.For other schooltrips, often we need2 coaches to carrythe 60 children plusthe adults.Sometimes, we usejust one externalcoach as we use theminibus we own too.

We have an establishedrelationship with thecoach companies. Theyall know that they needto buzz at the gate andthat they then drive inbackwards with theirbeepers on. The schooldrive now has a fencenext to it so it is safe forthe children who mightbe walking down thefootpath. The coachesstop at the open area atthe top of the drive. Thechildren are kept on thefootpaths by theteachers. The teachersalways ensure they carrysupplies on the coachessuch as water and a sickbucket.

Marlow Bottom is a veryclose knit society and allthe various groups withinthe Valley work welltogether. Parish council,representing all thegroups in the Valley, dida survey in the valleyasking for concerns.Speeding was the topone! The school isheavily involved with theparish council and withits initiatives. 1 memberof our team is a parishcouncillor, 1 member ofstaff is the head of theparish council and 1governor is a parishcouncillor too soanything the parishcouncil does for travel itdoes on behalf of theschool too. Attached issome minutes showingthe latest meetingbetween Caz McCall andthe HighwaysTechnician.

All our SEN pupils attendthe assemblies and takepart in the activities. Allthe activities are suitablefor all children. One littleboy gets a taxi everydaydue to his disability.However, whenever thechildren walk to the localshops or to another localschool for a project, thislittle boy is very happytravelling in hiswheelchair.

G2the whole schoolcommunity isinvolved with thetravel activity of theschool, its targetsand actions

We send out an annualsurvey asking forfeedback. We use whatthe survey tells us tohelp plan our initiativesfor the future. All theschool community hasan opportunity tocomplete it. This year,parking, speeding andturning were the issuesraised.
