Glapthorn CE Lower School
How will the proposal affect my child?
Proposal for Glapthorn CE Lower School
•Statutory Notice: expansion of age-range to add two year groups.
Pupils currently in Year 3 and below will stay at
Glapthorn Primary until the end of Year 6, when they
apply for secondary school for September 2017.
•Published admission number remains at 15 pupils per year group.
•Maximum school roll and capacity would be 15 x 7 = 105 pupils in 4 classrooms
(Reception, Year 1 and 2, Year 3 and 4, Year 5 and 6).
Pupils in the current Year 4 will transfer to Year 5 in a
middle school for September 2014 and will remain in
that building for Year 6 in September 2015 as part of an
enlarged primary school at either Thrapston or Oundle.
In September 2016 they will move to secondary school
to enter Year 7.

Building Project
A feasibility study has been commissioned by the County Council to look at how an extra
classroom can be added to the school. This will involve separate consultation associated with
the planning process. The brief suggests re-locating the hot school meals POD and building an
extension (including toilets and small group room) alongside the hall. The number of car-park
spaces will also be looked at.

Building Project
A feasibility study has been commissioned by the County Council to look at options for a new
build primary school on the middle school site; a 2FE site will be retained for future flexibility
although a single form entry primary school will be built. This will involve separate consultation
associated with the planning process.
There is new housing currently being built in the village (145 dwellings), hence the
recommended increase in PAN to provide extra capacity.
Arrangements for a mobile classroom for Sept 2015 to be confirmed.

•New published admission number: suggest 15 pupils per year group (was 17).
•Maximum school roll and capacity would be 15 x 7 = 105 pupils in 4 classrooms
(Reception, Year 1 and 2, Year 3 and 4, Year 5 and 6).
How do the pupil numbers grow?

Prince William School Vision:
Proposal for Prince William School
•Statutory Notice: expansion of age-range.
“To create an innovative learning environment which has
all staff and students learning, developing and delivers
the highest expectations from ourselves and each other.”
•Published admission number: 280.
How do the pupil numbers grow?
During transition we will ensure everyone is welcomed
and supported so that they are able to enjoy their
learning and the new opportunities available. The new
developments will help Prince William become a school
that gives everyone an amazing learning experience.
Our focus is on helping every student make progress,
succeed and reach beyond what would be expected

In September 2015, there will potentially be 738 new pupils starting at Prince William –
the usual cohort entering Year 9 (237 pupils) plus the extra 501 pupils transferring as
Years 7 and 8 from the two middle schools.
www.princewilliamschool.co.uk
Two aspects:
1. Masterplan of how the site is developed to provide all the required permanent
accommodation, including replacement of all existing mobile classrooms.
2. The temporary arrangements for the first year.

Thrapston Primary School
How will the proposal affect my child?
Proposal for Thrapston Primary School
•Statutory Notice: expansion of age-range and capacity.
Pupils currently in Year 3 and below will stay at
Thrapston Primary until the end of Year 6, when they
apply for secondary school for September 2017.
•Published admission number: 90 pupils per year group.
•Technical closure of the King John Middle School on 31 August 2015.
How do the pupil numbers grow?
Pupils in the current Year 4 will be at King John Middle
School in September 2014 for their Year 5. In September
2015, they will become Year 6 and will stay on the
Thrapston site with 112 in the year group within the
overall management of an enlarged Thrapston Primary.
In September 2016, they will move to secondary school
to enter Year 7.

* Allocations for Reception as of National Offer Day
Masterplanning of site to take account of new housing and increased primary pupil numbers.
The capacity therefore needs to consider expansion to 4FE. Retain whole site, so educational
provision can consider Nursery and Childcare facilities for the community.

There is some new housing proposed for the village, so keeping the PAN at 15. Temporary
accommodation via mobiles not required.

Trinity CE Lower School
How will the proposal affect my child?
Pupils currently in Year 3 and below will stay at Trinity
until the end of Year 6, when they apply for secondary
school for September 2017.
Pupils in the current Year 4 will transfer to Year 5 in a
middle school for September 2014 and will remain in
that building for Year 6 in September 2015 as part of an
enlarged primary school at either Thrapston or Oundle.
In September 2016 they will move to secondary school
to enter Year 7.
Proposal for Trinity CE Lower School
•Statutory Notice: expansion of age-range and increased PAN to 1FE.
•New published admission number: 30 pupils per year group (was 24).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Will I need to purchase a new school uniform if my child only attends a school for a year?
A. No. This issue has been discussed with all area schools, and there is agreement that new uniforms will not need to
be purchased until the transition period has been completed and children are in a ‘permanent’ school place e.g. when
they start an area primary school, or when they progress to secondary school.
Q. How will my child get to their new school?
A. Transport will be provided in line with current policy. Transport will not be means tested, and full details of
Northamptonshire County Council’s transport arrangements and School Transport Policy can be found at:
www.northamptonshire.gov.uk/en/councilservices/educationsandlearning/parentss/travel/pages/HtoS.aspx
Q. How will Northamptonshire County Council ensure a successful transition?
A. Since April 2014, Northamptonshire County Council has been working very closely with the East Northants Chair of
Governors Group, which represents all schools affected by the transition, to ensure they have the resources and support
they need during this transition period. Area schools and the county council will continue to work closely together to
achieve the same goal: coordinated change in all area schools to achieve improved educational outcomes. This work is
coordinated in a Transition Plan which has the support and engagement of the schools.
Q. How will Northamptonshire County Council be supporting lower schools through the transition to
Q. becoming primary schools?
A. The transition plan that is in place has provision for extensive staff development at Key Stage 2. There will be a
continuing dialogue with schools to ensure there are sufficient resources and support as they take on additional year
groups. It is our intention that external bench marking and moderation is undertaken to establish current levels of
attainment. This will allow progress to be monitored throughout the transition process. Head teachers in the area are
aware that school-based, staff development will be necessary, as will other cluster-based activities, organized through
the area head’s group.
Q. Will schools be making any changes to their existing admissions arrangements?
A. School admissions arrangements will work in much the same way as they did before the transition period. No school
is planning to change its admissions arrangements or over subscription criteria as a result of the transition. As a result
of the closure of the area’s middle schools, though, some pupils will be applying for school places at a different time.
The key dates relating to the admissions process (e.g. deadline for applications, National Allocation Day etc.) will be
published in exactly the same way as they have been in previous years, and parents will follow the same procedures for
applying for a school places. Admissions arrangements for 2015/16 will be published soon.
Q. Will my child be guaranteed a place at Prince William School?
A. We are confident that within a current published admission number (PAN) of 280, all of the children within the current
linked area will be accommodated in the school. In addition, we have made a commitment that all of the children
currently in the two middle schools will be offered a place at Prince William School if they apply.

The Transition to Primary
and Secondary Education
The proposal to re-structure the system of education
requires Northamptonshire County Council to follow a
statutory process. Each stage of this statutory process
is detailed in the timeline to the right.
If the decision is taken to proceed with the proposed
restructure to the system of education used in NorthEast Northamptonshire, the County Council will work
closely with each of the schools in the area, during
every stage of the process, to ensure that the transition
from a 3 to 2 tier system of education proceeds as
smoothly as possible.
