Y6 Ambassadors Fundraising
Thu 25 Jul 2024Ambassadors Fundraising 2023-24
This year the Ambassadors chose a local charity to support. The charity we chose was ‘Forget Me Notts’ This is the UK based project run by Operation Orphan and is all about helping and supporting vulnerable children to have a safe place to sleep and to support children in times of crisis. You can find more details here https://www.operation-orphan.org/forget-me-notts
During the year we have held several events including a Readathon, collections at Christmas performances and a tombola at the Family picnic. The children have also collected and delivered over 100 selection boxes and Easter eggs for vulnerable children in the local area.
On Tuesday 24th July some representatives from Forget Me Notts came into school and the Ambassadors presented them with a cheque for £3200. This is an amazing amount of money and will mean that the charity will have a real impact on so money people.
The Ambassadors are really proud of themselves and I am so proud of them too. They have worked really hard all year and have been a real credit to the school.

Ambassadors Fundraising Project 2023-24
Thu 27 Jun 2024As you are aware, the charity that the Ambassadors have chosen to support this year is ‘Forget me Notts’. This is the UK based project run by Operation Orphan and is all about helping and supporting vulnerable children to have a safe place to sleep and to support children in times of crisis. https://www.operation-orphan.org/forget-me-notts
Thanks to your generosity from the Readathon and the Christmas performances we have already raised over £2200 (and donated over 100 selection boxes at Christmas and 260 Easter Eggs which the Ambassadors helped to wrap and label.
We want to have a final push to raise some money. We would like the children to come to school on Friday 5th July in non-school uniforms. Please could they also bring a bottle or some chocolate. The Ambassadors will then run a tombola at the Family Picnic on Friday 19th July. Tickets will cost 50p each and hopefully we will raise lots of money. We will also take donations on the night. We are then hoping to present the cheque to the charity in assembly on Tuesday 23rd July.
We hope that you can continue to support us to raise lots of money and to help this local charity.
Thank you

Letter from Mrs Revill
Sun 21 Jan 202419.01.24
Dear Parents/Carers
I am writing to inform you of my intention to retire from my post as Head teacher of The Lanes Primary School at the end of this current academic year. My last day of work at school will be Friday 26th July 2024.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the parents, carers, staff, governors and children for the support over the last 16 years since I became Head Teacher of Meadow Lane in September 2008. Without the support of our community the school simply would not be what it is today.
This has not been a decision that I have taken lightly but I know that, from both a personal and professional perspective, it is the right time for me to move onto pastures new and spend more time with my family and friends. It goes without saying that I shall miss all the people within our school; the brilliant staff, fantastic children, the parents and carers, members of the local community and the Governing body and I will leave with many great memories of my time as Head Teacher. Our school has grown and changed in so many ways over the years and it is amazing to reflect on my time at the school from the first day at Meadow Lane all those years ago.
I know that I will be passing on The Lanes to a new Head teacher in a very positive and healthy position. Our school is a great place to be; we have a great staff team who are committed, professional and dedicated and amazing children who work hard, achieve great results and are a real credit to our school.
I have two terms left at The Lanes and I want to assure you that I will continue to work hard until I leave to ensure a smooth handover to the new Head Teacher.
Thank you
Joanne Revill

Anti-social behaviour - Notts Police Statement
Sun 03 Dec 2023From Inspector Mike EBBINS, Broxtowe District Commander, Notts Police
Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) has been a local crime priority for the Policing team in Beeston, Toton and Chilwell for over a year now and I wanted to take this opportunity to provide an update.
An ASB problem was first identified in Summer 2022 after a rise in reported issues on the tram and in town centre locations caused by young people. At this time my team focussed our work with partners to design this issue out of these locations, this worked but only resulted in dispersing the problem into other areas.
After consultation with the community I launched OP POTASSIUM in the autumn of 2022. This was an overtime operation, paying for two officers, four hours an evening to focus entirely on our ASB hotspot locations and dispersal powers were utilised to reinforce the action. This operation continued into January 2023.
Whilst this operation succeeded in driving reports of ASB down, it also highlighted gaps in provisions for these young people. In short, regular contact with these young people had identified they were banned from existing youth provisions due to poor behaviour but as a result, were bored and had nowhere else to go other than our street corners. It was clear we were not going to Police our way out of this problem and we needed support from partners.
Broxtowe Borough Council sought funding for a diversionary scheme and in February 2023, Transform Training introduced a dedicated support programme for our first cohort of young people called POTASSIUM PLUS. This project provided activity, education and emotional support to a select group of young people. The Police enforcement budget was extended to ensure a continued visible support for the community and both our agencies worked closely together to share information and progress.
We are now a number of months down the line since the launch of OP POTASSIUM and there has been real progress with both the behaviour of our cohort and reported incidents of ASB in the area. Currently reported ASB in our area is 45% down on the previous year and most importantly of all, feedback from those residents who attended the original consultation has been positive with a noticeable improvement.
That said, it is important for me to recognise ASB has not stopped and those experiencing issues will not be comforted by me quoting statistics therefore I want to make a couple of appeals to you direct today;
Firstly, I want to encourage those experiencing issues to report them. It is vital we understand the extent of the issue in our area so I can resource appropriately and I hope the above news has provided you with some reassurance that we will take the matter seriously and take appropriate action. If it is crime in action then please call 101. If it is lower level behaviour then contact the Council ASB line and they will share reports with myself.
Secondly, the behaviour of our young people has not been acceptable in recent months and we all have a collective responsibility to address this. Therefore I need parents to take a moment to talk to their children about what acceptable behaviour looks like and the impact poor behaviour can have on our community. Then ensure you are asking those extra questions when your children are going out, where are they going and what are they doing?
Please be assured, my officers are actively engaged with your school and we are all meeting regularly to discuss behaviour, share concerns and work through solutions. A roll out of class inputs is also scheduled over the next few months. -
Anti-Social Behaviour letter from Broxtowe Borough Council
Sun 03 Dec 2023Broxtowe Borough Council
Anti Social Behaviour by young people will not be tolerated in Broxtowe and The Police, Borough Council, Schools, Retail and Landlords welcome reporting from residents and visitors to assist us in tackling incidents of anti-social behaviour and addressing the concerns of residents within our Borough.
To tackle anti-social behaviour effectively requires a positive and united approach from not just the Police, but other partner organisations which have a role to play, including Broxtowe Borough Council, Schools, Housing Associations and Private Landlords. Preventing anti-social behaviour is our primary focus as most cases can be resolved without enforcement however, when informal interventions prove ineffective, Broxtowe Borough Council's Legal Team may utilize a range of legal measures to protect vulnerable individuals and communities.
There are a range of tools and powers the Police and Local Authority have at their disposal to deal with young people which, where convicted may result in a criminal record. As parents it is important that you are aware of where your children are and what they are doing when they are out to prevent them from being drawn into ASB and enforcement action being taken against them. Reports of ASB may be in breach of tenancy agreements and as such, will be investigated and may result in possession proceedings.
Legislation grants “powers” to local authorities to deal with anti-social behaviour as opposed to imposing “duties” and where the Council deems action necessary this needs to be proportionate, in addition not all issues qualify to be investigated as anti-social behaviour:
• If the behaviour is lawful, you will be informed that it cannot be addressed under anti-social behaviour legislation
• Reports related to isolated incidents or non-persistent occurrences will be advised that anti-social behaviour needs to be ongoing and persistent for action to be taken
• If the reported incident occurred more than a month ago and is not currently affecting you, agencies cannot lawfully take action
• Where behaviour from the typical daily activities of others are reported as ASB these will be addressed through referral to an appropriate health professional, such as your GP
• If the reported incident has already been addressed by another agency, further action is typically not possible
• Reports of behaviour that are prejudicial, discriminatory, malicious, unreasonable, vexatious, or frivolous will be investigated and it should be noted that evidence gathered during the investigation may lead to action against the reporting party.
It's important to provide accurate evidence and witness information for your complaint to be progressed as action is dependent on the availability of up-to-date evidence to substantiate the offense and satisfy the courts. The Council is unable to accept anonymous reports of anti social behaviour as this prevents the Council from gathering the necessary evidence.
ASB should be reported to the following agencies;Police
Criminal Damage / Vandalism
Drug Misuse & DealingIntimidating / Anti-Social Gatherings
Intimidation/Harassment
Rowdy BehaviourProstitution
Kerb Crawling
Begging
