IE8 and pdf Isues

It has been brought to our attention that a few website visitors are having issues opening/downloading some of our pdf documents. I have thoroughly tested numerous downloads and all appear to work in Firefox and Google Chrome browsers but when I try in IE8 in Windows 7 the opening or download often fails. One solution which appears to have worked for me is to open up Adobe Reader (my version is Adobe Reader X) and alter the option not to view in browser window - follow the simple steps below:

  1. Open Adobe Reader
  2. Open the Edit menu and select Preferences.
  3. On the left hand side of the preferences window, select the Internet category.
  4. Make sure to uncheck the "Display PDF in browser" option.

A quick search on Google leads one to believe this is a common issue.

Free Books for our LRC

Free books for the Library Resource Centre!

You may be aware that you can buy books through the Library Resource Centre using the Cover 2 Cover magazines issued to students each half term. By doing this the school gains credits to order free books for the LRC. Scholastic Publishers (who run Cover 2 Cover) are now running a scheme whereby parents can order directly with them and the school still benefits in the form of vouchers.

Should you wish to buy books via the website and donate the commission to the LRC, simply go to http://shop.scholastic.co.uk/?parent_mode=t and register to start shopping. You will then be given the option to donate commission to the school – simply find King Edward Vi School, Lichfield and a voucher will be sent to Mrs Emery in the LRC.

Many thanks

School Transport Review

Proposed changes to post 16 home to school and college transport

In common with many local authorities across the country Staffordshire County Council are reviewing their policy which guides the provision of transport support to students aged 16 and over.  

The proposals could be introduced from September 2012 and will not affect current post 16 students, but might affect students who move into year 12 from September 2012. 

The County Council want to know what you think of the proposals.  Please read through the consultation document.

• If you would like to comment, please visit www.staffordshire.gov.uk/transportconsultation and follow the guidance for returning your feed back to us.

• If you do not have access to the web ask to see the proposals at your local Staffordshire library where you can also go online and get a paper feed back form.  Alternatively call 0300 111 8000 and ask for a paper copy of both the proposals and feedback form.

At the end of the consultation, all the views, questions and comments returned to us will be seen and considered by the county council’s Cabinet before a decision is made about the policy in March 2012.

 

In addition the consultation document and feedback form will be available from local libraries in Staffordshire.

If you have any questions about this consultation please email them to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Yours sincerely


Anne Birch 
Commissioner for Education and Skills
