Heartlands Academy SPORTS ACTION 2012 Heartlands Academy The Heartlands Academy, formerly The Heartlands High School, is to be rebuilt on its current site. The local community deserves a high specification resource to support its development in the next decade and beyond. Within the new designs, the Academy hopes to provide exceptionally high quality sporting facilities additional to those available through normal funding streams. As such are looking to source external funding to enhance the facilities for Heartlands Academy‘s students, parents and wider community in one of Britain‘s most deprived wards. We have a unique opportunity to make a real difference to lives of the children and the community, to give them a chance to be more, do more, than they ever thought they could do or be. In February 2009, The Heartlands High School was judged to be ‗Outstanding‘ by Ofsted, culminating a meteoric improvement over the last six years. Following the School‘s placement in the category of Special Measures in March 2003, the newly appointed Headteacher recruited a team of staff to transform this school. The school was removed from its category in May 2004, fourteen months later, a record at the time. Through adherence to basic teaching and learning principles and an ethos that every student ‗Can do‘ the school has been in the top ten percent of schools nationally in each of the past three years for adding value, made all the more surprising from its recent past.

These areas will also provide the best opportunity to impact upon an improvement in achievement and motivation throughout the whole school as the personalised learning model is rolled out. With additional resources available, both subjects had the potential to develop the motivation and capability of students, which through the application of personalised learning will feed through to other curriculum areas. Both subjects are also excellent to channel students who are in danger of disengagement or disaffection; they also provide many opportunities for community involvement. As a result of the designation of Sports College Status, both areas of the curriculum have improved their access and results at Key Stage 4; P.E from 0% in 2003 to 70% in 2008 and ICT from 0% in 2003 to 80% in 2008 in A*-C grades and both subjects offer 100% access. The new Head of PE, appointed Easter 2006 and the team he built has been fundamental in the transformation of the ethos of PE and Sport within the school as a whole. By engaging the student council in the design and ownership of the School‘s PE kit, the department reduced non-participation and absenteeism.

  • Dear Parents/Carers a Message in Support of West Midlands Police. Police and Schools in the City Are Committed to Working Togeth
    Langley Walk, Birmingham B15 2EF t: 0121 647 2760 e: [email protected] www.city-birmingham.academy Headteacher: Andy Brant BSC Dear Parents/Carers A message in support of West Midlands Police. Police and schools in the city are committed to working together to protect our young people from becoming victims of knife and weapons crime. We use a range of tactics including educational inputs and in-school searches to ensure that students are well- informed about the consequences of carrying weapons, and identify those that continue to do so. It is important that the police, schools and families work together to protect young people. To do this, parents must be aware of the warning signs and talk to children about carrying weapons. The consequences of being found in possession of a knife are serious and long lasting, affecting education, employment and travel opportunities, but most crucially, life. Some young people carry weapons because they feel it will provide protection or increase the respect they are given by their friends, but the sad fact is that they are more likely to become victims of serious violence. Parents should also be aware that girls sometimes carry or store weapons for their boyfriends or other male friends because they believe they are less likely to be stopped by the police. Their reasons are often misguided loyalty or love, but it is still a crime if they are caught carrying a knife or other weapon. WARNING SIGNS These signs don’t always mean the worst is happening and could just be normal teenage behaviour: 1.

    Appendix 2b Proposed Published Admission Numbers - September 2019 This document is a record of proposed Published Admission Numbers (PANs) for Academies, Free Schools, Foundation Schools and Voluntary Aided Schools. A PAN figure for a school does not include places reserved for pupils with a statement of Special Educational Needs (SEN) or an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Reserved places are admitted in addition to the PAN. Admission to these reserved places is coordinated through a referral process by the Birmingham City Council Special Educational Needs, Assessment and Review service (SENAR). For a full list of schools offering Resource Base provision please see: Schools with Resource Bases for SEN . Due to the continued changes in Birmingham’s school population as a result of fluctuating birth rates and increased levels of cohort growth, we continue to engage with a number of schools throughout the year to discuss proposed changes to PANs.
