PRESS RELEASE: DANCE FUSION COMPETITION GREENACRE SPORTS PARTNERSHIP HOST- DANCE FUSION 2017. The Greenacre Sports Partnership Dance Fusion competition was held on Tuesday 28th March 2017 at Greenacre Academy. The competition saw 221 students, ranging from ages of 7-18 years old, participate from 18 different Primary and Secondary Schools within the partnership. Participants were able to choose their own style of dance, and they were judged for their creativity, skill and technique, personality, timing and overall performance. The results were as follows: Primary category: 1st: St Thomas More RC Primary School 2nd: St Michael’s RC Primary School 3rd: Danecourt Special School Secondary category: 1st: The Victory Academy Group 1 2nd: The Victory Academy Group 2 3rd: Fort Pitt Grammar School KS4 Group We were extremely fortunate to have some special guests to judge the competition. We welcomed Natalie Harris, Kent Sports Event Manager and who also coordinates the Kent School Games Cultural Celebration Event, which last year saw several Dance Fusion contestants perform. Secondly, we had none other than Strictly Come Dancing’s James and Ola Jordan!! All judges provided some fantastic feedback and hugely contributed to making the event a success! Furthermore, we were very grateful for the assistance of eighteen Greenacre Leadership Academy students, and five 6th form students, who supported the event by assisting with stage management, photography, welcoming and ticket collection, backstage management and chaperone duties. These pupils did an excellent job and we couldn’t have done the event without their additional support. The Dance Fusion competition would not have been possible if it wasn’t for the support of several partners. A big thank you to Greenacre Academy for hosting the event, to A1 events organisation for assistance with stage lighting, sound and a video transfer link, the judges; Natalie Harris, James Jordan, and Ola Jordan, to all the schools who participated in the competition, and finally to all the parents, family members, and staff who came to support them. Participating schools were as follows: Warren Wood Primary Academy, Walderslade Primary School, St Benedict’s Primary School, St William of Perth, Delce Academy, St Thomas More Primary School, Horsted Junior School, Danecourt Special School, Kingfisher Primary School, St Michael’s primary School, Wayfield Primary School, Chantry Primary Academy, Burnt Oak, Fort Pitt Grammar School, The Victory Academy, St John Fisher, Thomas Aveling and Greenacre Academy.

Issue 18 Spring 2014

Issue 18 Spring 2014 WELCOME. Welcome to the HSSP spring newsletter for 2014 – a rather wet one! A belated Happy New Sporting Year to yourselves and your pupils and parents. Many thanks for your school and pupils continued support of P.E. and School Sport in 2013 and of the many teacher training programmes, coaching, volunteering, playing and competitive opportunities we offer your schools. Our primaries are currently delighted with the news that the government has extended the grant offer of the Primary P.E. Premium funding until to summer 2016, (initially it was for 2 years only). So this ring fenced funding £9000 approx. per academic year for every Primary School, and an Ofsted priority, will last for 3 academic years. Furthermore, the current government have promised, to further extend this same amount every year for every Primary School until 2020 as part of the Olympic legacy, if they get elected. The HSSP staff are busy visiting many primary schools offering advice and support to Head Teachers and P.E. Co-ordinators on how to action plan and improve: their P.E. curriculum and quality of teaching and learning for staff and pupils, the health and physical activity levels of less active pupils and sports club and competition opportunities for all pupils. We have 39 out of a possible 45 schools signed up to our services this year and we plan to continue our school sport services for primaries in the future. We are currently reviewing our pricing structure to ensure that we can continue to exist financially beyond summer 2016, as we receive no government funding to help contribute towards the salaries of SSCo’s.

The main points are summarised below: • Parents complete the Medway common application form (CAF) in accordance with the Medway Co-ordinated Admission Scheme. • The Local Authority will then act as clearing house for the administration of pupils’ preferences. Parents will be informed on 1 March 2021. • The school will also post to parents decisions of the governors on admission and details of the right of appeal against the governors’ decision. The school’s published admission number is 210. At Victory Academy we operate a 'Fair Banding' admissions process to ensure we have a balanced proportion of students from across the whole ability range - a comprehensive intake. Students who wish to apply for a place at Victory Academy must take a Fair Banding test to be considered for admission to the Academy and this will be required if their parents/carers intend to put Victory Academy on the common admissions form. This test is usually a cognitive ability test(s) – it is not a pass or fail test.
Download Non-Grammar Assessed

Transfer to Secondary School 2020 - Medway Test Results Information for pupils assessed as non-grammar at this stage 1. The Medway Test is to assess children for entry to the Medway grammar schools only. These schools are: Holcombe Grammar School Sir Joseph Williamson’s Mathematical School (boys) (boys) Chatham Grammar School for Girls The Rochester Grammar School (girls) (girls) Fort Pitt Grammar School In addition: (girls) The Howard School Rainham Mark Grammar School is a bi-lateral school (designated grammar section) (mixed) (boys) 2. The Medway Test is made up of three papers (verbal reasoning, mathematics and extended writing). The tests are marked individually and the results are standardised. 3. Standardisation means that each child's score can be compared with those achieved by other children in the group and an allowance made for age so that the youngest are not at a disadvantage. 4. The standardised scores are weighted. The weighted scores are then calculated to provide a total weighted score using the following formula: • 2 x Extended Writing standardised score plus • 2 x Mathematics standardised score plus • 1 x Verbal Reasoning standardised score The below is for example only: Standardised Weighted Score Score Extended Writing 119 (119 x 2) = 238 Maths 117 (117 x 2) = 234 VR 122 (122 X 1) = 122 Total weighted score = 594 5. Each year a minimum total weighted score is determined based on 23% of children attending Medway maintained schools in the year group. This sets the score needed to be assessed as grammar. For September 2020 admissions, the minimum total weighted score required to be assessed as grammar is 490.

Annual Reports

10.07.20 Dear Parents/Carers As we approach the end of term, we reflect on our year at school so far and turn our thoughts towards September. End of Year reports are ready and will be distributed at the start of next week, while it has certainly not been the school year we had planned for, I would like to thank all the members of the school community who have supported the continuation of learning over the last few months – whether online or in school. I know from talking to many parents and carers that supporting learning at home has been a challenge, but I am thankful for all the efforts you have made to support this. Towards the end of next week, we will send out further details about our plans for September. We will be welcoming all children in Years 1-6 back on Friday 4 September with our new Early Years pupils not starting until the following week. The safety measures we currently have in place will remain for September, with children continuing to be working within class ‘bubbles’. We will continue to review and amend plans over the summer and will re-send important information in the days before school re-starts. We are really looking forward to seeing everyone back on site again. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we carefully consider our plans for reopening. Kind regards, Mr C Murphy Headteacher Annual Reports Annual Reports will be sent home with the children who are attending school on Monday (including their siblings who may not be attending).

Local Authority Report To The Schools Adjudicator From Kent County Council 30 June 2018 Report Cleared by: Keith Abbott - Director of Education Planning and Access Date submitted: 28th June 2018 By : Scott Bagshaw – Head of Fair Access Contact email address: [email protected] Telephone number: 03000 415798 www.gov.uk/government/organisations/office-of-the-schools-adjudicator Please email your completed report to: [email protected] by 30 June 2018 and earlier if possible 1 Introduction Section 88P of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (the Act) requires every local authority to make an annual report to the adjudicator. The Chief Adjudicator then includes a summary of these reports in her annual report to the Secretary for State for Education. The School Admissions Code (the Code) sets out the requirements for reports by local authorities in paragraph 6. Paragraph 3.23 specifies what must be included as a minimum in the report to the adjudicator and makes provision for the local authority to include any other issues. The report must be returned to the Office of the Schools Adjudicator by 30 June 2018. The report to the Secretary of State for 2017 highlighted that at the normal points of admission the main admissions rounds for entry to schools work well. The Chief Adjudicator expressed less confidence that the needs of children who need a place outside the normal admissions rounds were so well met. In order to test this concern, local authorities are therefore asked to differentiate their answers in this year’s report between the main admissions round and in year admissions1.
1 Report by Bernadette Hancock on the Application of the Victory Academy to Become an Accredited Thinking School by the Cognitiv

GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION College of Social Sciences & International Studies St Luke’s Campus Heavitree Road Exeter EX1 2LU Telephone +44 (0)1392 724917 Email [email protected] Web www.exeter.ac.uk/education Report by Bernadette Hancock on the application of The Victory Academy to become an accredited Thinking School by the Cognitive Education Development Unit, University of Exeter. Context The Victory Academy is a “rapidly improving school”1 in Chatham, Kent. It is a smaller than the average- sized mixed secondary school. It is in an area where there are grammar schools and as a result, whilst welcoming students of all abilities, the student body tends to have lower prior achievement. The school also has a greater number of students with special educational needs or disabilities than average and a higher number of students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. It is part of the ‘Thinking Schools Academy Trust’ led by The Rochester Grammar School which is a family of schools working together to "improve the life chances of all their children and young people.”2 Evidence Base The University of Exeter received the school’s submission from the Thinking Skills Co-ordinator, Ms Laura Gladstone, evidencing the school’s progress towards meeting the accreditation criteria. Victory Academy School began its journey towards becoming a ‘Thinking School in 2015 when it changed its name and became part of the Thinking Schools Academy Trust. The evidence presented on the school’s web site was well-organised and included pictorial evidence of displays and work showing how pupils apply and use the tools to enrich and enhance their learning.
