The Education Funding Agency (EFA) have asked Reading Borough Council to carry out a public consultation to help them identify a permanent home for the Heights Primary School. When complete the Council will pass all consultation data to the EFA who will select a location. You can access the survey at the following website and view the full Information Pack issued by the EFA: http://beta.reading.gov.uk/schoolsite
Previously, the Heights carried out a formal consultation on whether the community felt the Trust should enter into an agreement with the Secretary of State to open. This process was carried out in accordance with Section 10 of the Academies Act 2010 and included an online survey and a consultation event in January 2014. A summary of the report submitted to the Secretary of State can be found here.
In addition a large survey was carried out over winter of 2012/13 to gauge interest in the school. This included asking whether parents would send their children to The Height and whether they supported our vision. The results of the survey formed the Evidence of Demand section of the bid, which was submitted to the Department for Education. In October 2013 the Trust held a Family Fun and Information Day and have actively sought to engage with the community as much as possible, both as individuals and as a group. This included attending several local Christmas fayres and fetes.
