Sole Sisters can get you running
Olympus Trust consults on admissions policy
Karen Gaman of Sole Sisters ladies-only north Bristol running club writes: The Sole Sisters Beginners’ Course is ideal for any ladies who want to start running, but don’t know how to begin. Three times each year, we offer a training course for women who wish to start running, have never run before or are returning after a long period of rest, illness or injury. Our next course starts on
Monday 6th January 2020. We follow a realistic six-week training programme, with a gradual build-up of mileage, after which you will be able to join one of our main groups and hopefully enjoy it with a certain amount of self-satisfaction. Many of our current members started out on this course and
are now running regular 10ks, half marathons and even full marathons, so what we offer is a trusted method. The course costs £15. For full details and an application form, visit solesistersrc.co.uk/ beginners-course ● The 2020 Bradley Stoke 10k will take place on 7th June.
The Olympus Academy Trust, which incorporates four primary and secondary schools in the Stokes, is consulting on proposed changes to its admissions policy for the September 2021 intake. Some of the main changes proposed are: • Splitting of the trust’s policy into nine separate polices, one for each school in the trust • Definition of a formal process to verify application addresses • The child’s home address will now be taken as the address where they live most of the time during term time, rather than over the whole year • Where there is no defined Area of Prime Responsibility, the local sibling qualification distance will be extended from 2 to 3 miles The consultation runs until 20th January 2020. The full draft policies can be viewed on the trust’s website, www. olympusacademiestrust.org.uk
