The statutory consultation took place from 9th July 2015 to 10th September 2015 Prospective parents and some residents have responded very positively throughout both phases of the consultation, some local residents have expressed concerns about traffic and parking given the busy local roads, others have voiced concerns about the present condition of the building. Suggestions and comments are being considered, responded to, and, where appropriate, incorporated into planning. The Vision for Galleywall Galleywall Primary City of London Academy is a proposed free school which plans to open in the SE16 area of Bermondsey in September 2016. A non-fee paying, non- selective, non-denominational, co-educational primary school, Galleywall will initially open with two classes of 30 in the Reception year. The school will grow organically to reach its full capacity of 420 pupils in 2022. Galleywall will join the already successful family of City of London schools, becoming part of the multi-academy trust in Southwark and will follow the newly developed City Schools Primary Curriculum. It will be supported by Redriff Primary, an outstanding local Academy school, and the City of London Academy (Southwark). It will also benefit from shared resources and support from the family of City Schools and The City of London Educational Trust. Under the governance of the City of London Academies (Southwark), the school will offer a broad and balanced curriculum with specific focus on literacy, oracy and creativity, and will employ proven learning approaches delivered by qualified teaching staff. 3 Our overarching vision is to found a school which will exemplify ‘Outstanding’ primary practice, evidenced by outstanding attainment and progress for all children. From the outset we wish to ensure that all the work of the school is underpinned by shared values and ambitions. At the foundation of Galleywall will lie our values, which reflect the way of life, beliefs and cultural context of our city and our country. We wish all our children and our community to realise, espouse and promote these values. At Galleywall School we believe in a just and open society, free of prejudice, we shall aspire to be: Enlightened • Tolerant of other peoples, religions, traditions and lifestyles • Aware of our common heritage and democratic traditions • Respectful of the needs of individuals within a social context Aspirational • Prepared to meet and face challenges, and to create new situations and opportunities for themselves, their family and community • Able to see beyond what is now to create what might be • Have the highest expectations of themselves and of others Entrepreneurial • Able to conceive a unique vision and influence others. • Be creative in their ideas, resilient and determined in their actions. • See opportunity in all change Adventurous • Thirsty for new experiences • Willing to embrace change, to relish the unusual • Have the capacity to take calculated risks Compassionate • Aware of the interdependence of all living things • Friendly, warm hearted and considerate • Motivated to help and care for others School ethos A strong partnership with the local community will be at the heart of the school’s ethos. We will use professionals from business and commerce as mentors so that the children will benefit from the skills of those living in their local area. The City is committed to ensuring that its rich cultural offer is readily available and accessible to all Londoners. We believe that creativity and creative thinking are fundamental to the future economic wellbeing of our city and our nation, and that the creative arts, music, drama, dance are essential development for the children of Bermondsey. Sitting at the heart of one of the great cultural capitals of the world, we believe it to be their heritage and their entitlement. For this reason one of the key 4 components of our new school will be an ‘extended day’ with an extended cultural offer. As part of our offer every child will be able to remain within school until 4.30pm with a further option of quality care until 6pm daily. In this way we will ensure that all children access extended opportunities in the creative arts, music, dance, drama and sport. We will provide summer camps for our children specifically to extend and enrich their cultural experience and appreciation of their city. We will work with City charities and the Livery companies to ensure that these opportunities are affordable to all children and free to those in receipt of Pupil Premium. The City of London Educational Trust (Proposer Group) The City of London Corporation has a mission to ensure that for all Londoners are able to participate fully and actively in the process of wealth creation, for themselves, their city and their community. We believe that education can create a ladder of aspiration for all our children. We intend to deploy the resources of the City, its family of schools and its contacts with livery companies and charities to support and sustain a highly successful primary school. The City of London has a proven and respected track record in the field of school improvement and ensuring educational provision is consistently of a high quality. Its success can be seen in the outcomes and inspection findings of primary and secondary schools that we have already sponsored, supported and advised. Our family of schools: Primary academies • Redriff Primary • City of London Primary Academy Islington (opening September 2017) Secondary academies • City of London Academy Islington • City Academy Hackney • City of London Academy Southwark Secondary independent schools • City of London School • City of London School for Girls • City Freemen’s School Galleywall Primary City of London Academy will be a ‘small’ school at the heart of a ‘big’ family. 5 Consultation Process Initial Phase Galleywall undertook significant stakeholder engagement activities prior to the formal consultation period. The London Borough of Southwark has been supportive throughout due to the critical shortage of school places. Specifically the following activities were undertaken to inform parents and community members about the project. This process commenced in September 2014: • Formal meetings with ward councillors and London borough of Southwark • Meeting formally with parents at local community groups and play groups • Canvassing at local shopping centres • Personal approaches to local businesses and community members • Creation of specific email enquiry desk. • Dedicated link on the multi-academy website The response from the stakeholders was overwhelmingly positive. Significant numbers of parents indicated they supported the project. Statutory Consultation The statutory consultation was initially planned to run the set six week to the 20th August 2015 however, it was extended into the new school year. The final consultation ran from 9th July 2015 – 10th September 2015. 1. The Methods of Consultation and Information Provided The following activities were undertaken to consult parents and community members about the project: • Consultation Booklet: Production of a public consultation booklet containing a paper version of the consultation survey as well as links to the online version. This gave comprehensive details of the vision and ethos of the school. It also answered frequently asked questions that had been raised during initial consultation. • Distribution: Production and distribution of informative flyers for the launch event, consultation surgeries and open evenings. 6 • Letters: Personalised letters were sent outlining the project catering specifically for individuals. These included the consultation survey link. • Email: Email accounts established for queries and comments. • Prospectus: Production of an informative school prospectus. • Launch Event: The City of London Academy (Southwark) hosted our launch event. This was easy access for the local community as they are situated within short walking distance of the proposed Galleywall site. Representatives of the bid group shared the vision, ethos and proposed plans for Galleywall. A prospectus was designed for the event and was given to attendees with the consultation booklet, containing the paper survey,

  • Harris Academy Peckham 112 Peckham Road, London SE15 5DZ
    School report Inspection of a good school: Harris Academy Peckham 112 Peckham Road, London SE15 5DZ Inspection dates: 11–12 December 2019 Outcome Harris Academy Peckham continues to be a good school. What is it like to attend this school? Pupils have noticed the improvements that have taken place in the school over the last two years. In particular, behaviour has improved, and most pupils now achieve well in a wide range of subjects at GCSE. Staff give much thought to how pupils learn. This has resulted in a whole-school approach to teaching that enables pupils to learn more and make stronger progress through the curriculum. However, some teachers require further support to implement the curriculum to the high standards that leaders have rightly set. Pupils behave well in school and say that they are able to learn. They like the many opportunities that the school offers them. For instance, a wide range of activities is offered after school, ranging from technology activities to sports. These are very popular. Music is a big strength of the school’s curriculum. All pupils in Year 7 and the majority of Year 8 learn to play a musical instrument. They also learn about famous composers in depth. Pupils appreciate the work staff do to keep them safe. They told us that bullying is uncommon, but if it does occur it is quickly dealt with by the teachers. The school’s approach is to work with the family to solve any problems. This ensures that the solutions agreed have a positive impact in the longer term.

  • Pupil Place Planning Report for 2020
    Item No. Classification: Date: Meeting Name: 19. Open 20 October 2020 Cabinet Pupil Place Planning Report for 2020 Report title: Ward(s) or groups All affected: Councillor Jasmine Ali, Deputy Leader & Cabinet Member: Cabinet Member for Children, Young People & Schools FOREWORD - COUNCILLOR JASMINE ALI, DEPUTY LEADER & CABINET LEAD FOR CHILDREN, YOUNG PEOPLE AND SCHOOLS Southwark Council has a duty under the Education Act 1996 to ensure that sufficient capacity of school places exists for children of statutory school age. The attached report provides an overview of school place capacity and forward place planning for Southwark. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on education. While the majority of schools remained open for keyworker and vulnerable pupils, the majority of pupils did not attend school for six months. Pupils due to take exams this year faced a great deal of uncertainty and disruption. It is in this context that Southwark Council is working closely with head teachers to make sure our schools are as safe as possible. Even with the uncertainly of the pandemic, Southwark continues to be seen as a great place to bring up children, with lovely schools where children attain good educational outcomes. We have a firm commitment to ensure that even further development across schools and education, in line with the council’s Southwark Stands Together movement is achieved. Our programme of school building and refurbishment has transformed many of our schools into educational landmarks. Each year our education team helps our schools get closer and closer to our target of 100 per cent good or outstanding schools.

  • Best Start in Life - Southwark School Standards Report 2015-16
    APPENDIX 1 Best start in life - Southwark school standards report 2015-16 1 Foreword We believe in giving all our young people the best start in life. We know that what we learn and discover at school can profoundly influence what we are able to achieve later in life and that a great education is a key to unlock each and every child’s full potential. Making sure that all Southwark’s schools support but also challenge our young people is at the very heart of all that we do. We are proud of our schools. They are above the national average in all external examination areas and 93% are judged as being good or outstanding by Ofsted. This report sets out information on school standards and related areas in Southwark. It includes school results in external assessments as well as investigating the attainment of Looked After Children, and the attainment of children from a range of different pupil groups in Southwark. It challenges the Council and our schools to ensure that high quality teaching is reaching and benefiting all our children. The report also sets our schools’ records on attendance and exclusions and sets out the recognition of teachers and governors through our awards programme. The council’s Primary and Secondary Place Planning Strategy sets out extensive details of our work to ensure there is a local primary school place for every child and we meet the demand for secondary school places. However, this reports highlights the progress made over the last six years to make sure parents and young people feel they can express and secure a genuine preference when applying for a school place.
