Last term, we also saw two of our schools receive their Ofsted inspections, becoming the first of our academies to be reviewed under the new framework. Thomas Deacon Academy has once again received Good in all areas, with the inspector commenting that ‘staff look after pupils well and provide impressive opportunities for personal development’. Gladstone Primary Academy also received a positive report, achieving Good in four of the five areas, with an overall rating of Requires Improvement. This is a huge improvement from their inspection in 2016 and a credit to all at the academy. These results show Julie Taylor (Chief Executive of TDET) that TDET schools are continuing to develop and and Dr Barnes (Chair of the TDET Board) provide high-quality education for our pupils. Our Early Years provisions are also going from strength to strength.

We value our local communities and actively encourage our schools and staff to share best practice to benefit all children within each local area. Through experience, we know that there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to education. Our schools are individual members of the Trust community and are connected by a common set of values but are free to innovate and adapt to the needs of its pupils and the local community. We firmly believe that the Trust as a whole is more than the sum of its parts. Therefore, all of our schools are equally valued and contribute to the development and direction of the Trust as we grow together. The Trust currently includes: Gladstone Primary Academy We also have two nurseries; one at Gladstone Primary Academy and one at Queen Katharine Academy. 3 Stories from across the Trust Former pupil success We are thrilled to announce that former Thomas Deacon Academy student, Georgia Hughes, has graduated with a First-Class Honours Politics and Sociology degree from Emmanuel College at Cambridge University. Richard Barnes, our Chairman of the Board, helped to prepare Georgia for her initial interview when she applied to the university and we have continued to keep in touch with Georgia over the years. Georgia has returned to the academy several times to support and present at important events, including our TDET Education Conference last year in partnership with the Fabian Society. Georgia’s story is an inspiration, not only to our pupils but to us all and shows just what we can do to help our young people reach their potential. Gladstone Primary Academy launches bilingual clubs Last term, we launched our first ever bilingual club at Gladstone Primary Academy. The aim was to support our bilingual pupils with both their English and home-language skills which are often lost when they move to the UK. We also wanted to create an opportunity to connect and build relations with their families. Thanks to the Peterborough City Council Community Fund, we have opened a series of clubs that run four days a week for an hour after school. The clubs are held at the academy where they utilise a library corner, a large open space and classrooms. Currently, there is a Slovak and Czech group, and a Romanian group, with plans to set up Urdu and Lithuanian groups in the coming months. Each group has a leader who is fluent in English as well as either Slovak, Czech or Romanian. They deliver a range of activities based on storytelling to help the pupils develop their language skills, and every Thursday parents are invited to attend and join in. It is great to see the pupils progressing with their language skills and we look forward to seeing the long-term outcomes over the next few years. We also hope that, through interactions with their parents, the academy will gain a wider understanding of the individual communities and cultures which, in turn, will help us to tailor our pupil support. 4 Silver celebrations at Thomas Deacon Academy Juniors and Upwood Primary Academy Staff at Thomas Deacon Academy Juniors and Upwood Primary Academy are celebrating after both achieving the British Dyslexia Association Silver Literacy Leap Dyslexia Award last term. The award provides a framework, informed by the SEND Code of Practice, to help schools support pupils with learning disabilities such as dyslexia. All teachers and teaching assistants took part in intensive training sessions to help them to identify and screen children at risk of having a learning disability. They learned how to put appropriate interventions and lesson adaptations in place, alongside an ‘Assess, Plan, Do and Review’ process tailored to the individual’s needs. As part of the award, Thomas Deacon Academy Juniors held a No Pens Day where pupils did not write in lessons. This raised awareness and encouraged pupils to learn in a more creative way. Staff also held a parent’s evening to educate them on the signs to look out for and provide advice on how best to support their child and other pupils. Upwood Primary Academy also held a No Pens Day, as well as a Construction Day where pupils had to design and make different models, and a Cooking Day where they had to follow picture recipes. We are very pleased to see the confidence of the teachers at both schools increasing and the progress of the pupils improving. Throughout the next academic year, Emma Gowers, who is leading on the work at the junior school, will be working with SEND Coordinators across the Trust, to share best practice. Our Combined Cadet Force show their respects Our Combined Cadet Force (CCF) across our academies has continued to grow and develop and last term, they formed a key part of our Remembrance Day services across the Trust. Cadets at Queen Katharine Academy led the service, laying a wreath to honour the fallen and holding the national flag. At Thomas Deacon Academy, the cadets led the parade alongside Lieutenant Colonel Chris Thompson, and played the last post. They were also honoured to be part of the Cathedral Remembrance Service. Pupils at our primary academies also paid their respects with a two-minute silence and created poppies to decorate their local communities. We are immensely proud of the respect each of our cadets had and the way in which they held themselves. They are a true credit to the Trust, and it is great to see them developing as young and responsible adults. Coming up over the next term, many of our cadets, from within our Army and RAF forces, will attend a variety of training camps and weekend expeditions.

  • The Voice February 2016
    THE VOICE of Arthur Mellows Village College Issue 44 February 2016 Message from the Head of College Welcome to this edition of The Voice. Very often the short terms seem to be the longest as we manage to pack so much into them! This half term, staff and students have been working hard towards the College Production of ‘Teechers’ and a write-up on this will be included in the next edition. Students have also visited New York and are in the process of getting ready to go skiing at the end of this week. Work has also been taking place on promoting litter both in school and in the local community. Daisy Malton, Head Girl, and Ashley Brumfield, Head Boy have taken assemblies to all Year Groups on this very subject and have been working tirelessly to encourage students to be mindful of litter and to take pride in their environment. They have even offered rewards for tidying as an incentive! This week we have celebrated Safer Internet Day and activities have been taking place in school to promote this important initiative. This year’s theme was “Play your part for a better internet” which aims to empower young people to celebrate diversity online in order to inspire a kind, respectful and inclusive internet, and help raise awareness about the issue of online hate and ensure no person is ever targeted online for being different. Of course it’ll take more than a Safer Internet Day to deal with this ever increasing problem but hopefully raising awareness of this with students and parents goes somewhere to making the Internet and Social Media a safer place.

  • Hampton Gardens Newsletter
    Issue 11 24 May 2019 HEAD OF SCHOOL’S NEWS A very warm welcome to our May Newsletter. It has been another very busy and eventful half term and I hope that you will get a feel for that as you read the articles in this issue. We completed the Year 7 parents’ evenings this month and I would like to thank all of you who attended and for the positive comments that were made to the staff and myself on these evenings. It is so important that parents are involved in their children’s education and I believe that the high turnout on these evenings is further evidence of staff and parents working together to achieve the best possible outcomes for our students. I would like to congratulate Year 8 for their conduct and the way they approached their end of year exams this half term, teachers are busily completing the marking of these exams and I look forward to celebrating the results with them after half term. Straight after half term is the turn of Year 7 with exams in Maths, English, French, Science, Geography and History. Again, these exams will take place in the hall under full examination conditions. It is important from the outset for students to understand the importance of examinations and how they should conduct themselves in a formal setting. Obviously different students approach exams in different ways, and for some it can be a very stressful and anxious time. I have already had stu- dents approach me in the corridor asking me what the pass mark is and are worrying about failing.

  • Peterborough City Council School Organisation Plan “Delivering Local
    Peterborough City Council School Organisation Plan “Delivering Local Places for Local Children” 2018-2019 25 Foreword In Peterborough our absolute priority is that children and young people achieve the best outcomes possible and go on to succeed in further learning and in work. Crucial to this is the way that we work with schools and partners to plan and deliver a good quality place in learning for all across the City. The Council has a proven track record of working with a wide range of education providers to commission sufficient places to meet the needs of Peterborough’s residents and is committed to continuing this approach into the future. Peterborough is one of the fastest growing cities in the country, and faces significant pressures on education places as a result of both significant new housing development, as well as demographic change resulting from increased birth rates. The school organisation plan considers education provision in Peterborough across the 4 to 16 age range. We are delighted to present this school organisation plan to you, and would welcome your continued engagement with it. Clare Buckingham, Strategic Policy and Place Planning Manager If you would like any further information, or would like to discuss any part of the Education Organisation Plan in detail, please contact Clare Buckingham.

  • Hampton Gardens Newsletter
    Issue 10 5 April 2019 HEAD OF SCHOOL’S NEWS Welcome to our April Newsletter which, again, is packed full of student events, activities, trips, visits, sport- ing successes and achievements. Every day the efforts and attitude of our students and the dedication of staff who enable them to reach their potential continues to impress me. This edition gives just some of the reasons why. It has been an incredibly busy and eventful term; my personal highlights included the collapsed day and the music and dance performance earlier in the week. Firstly, the collapsed day which involved the whole of Year 8 travelling to Hunstanton to complete some Geography fieldwork on coasts and sea defences. We were very lucky with the weather, which allowed the students to complete the activities with great success. Thank you Miss Dixon and Mr Ayling for organising this, it takes a lot of planning and co-ordination to get nearly 180 students in the right place at the right time. Whilst this was going on the Year 7s were treated to a STEM day organised by Mr Joyce and Mr Sandeman, which was a huge success with students talking about it for days after. Secondly, our dance and music performance, this was a very successful evening with over 70 students taking part. Thank you to all of you who attended to support the students so that they had an opportunity to show their talents to a live audience. Without doubt, there is a lot of talent in this school and I am looking forward to seeing these students develop over the coming years in future events.
