    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.

  • News, Events and Updates at Brompton Academy CCF Brave the Elements for Bushcraft Day
    2018-19 Term 3 News, Events and Updates at Brompton Academy CCF Brave the Elements for Bushcraft Day It was a freezing Saturday in mid-January, but thankfully the cadets were wrapped up warm and excited about the day ahead. Our bushcraft instructor was waiting for the cadets so he could introduce them to basic bushcraft skills, which included fire starting and shelter building. Fortunately, for the rest of the hard-working staff, Ms Knight and Ms Hipkiss set the perfect standard in providing constant cups of coffee and hot chocolate. They even managed to rustle up some baked potatoes, amazing what you can find in the woods! After building a fire from scratch using the natural environment, a flint and cotton wool, the cadets were soon feeling warm under the canopy of the pine trees. After the mini lessons it was the turn of the cadets to confirm their skills by building a large fire and cooking their dinner in a shelter big enough for their team to live and survive in. The results were outstanding, all the cadets managed to contribute toward collecting fire wood, cutting wood to build the frame and gathering the roofing material to clad their shelter. We had a competition for the best shelter and as you can see the results were very impressive. 1 2018-19 Term 3 A Fascinating Forensic Science Day at The University of Kent Our Year 12 and 13 Criminology classes were invited to visit the University of Kent’s Physical Science department by Robert Green MBE to take part in Forensic Science Day.

  • 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.

  • Mentor Development Programme
    CANTERBURY CHRIST CHURCH UNIVERSITY MENTOR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME 2016 - 17 Our new Mentor Development Programme (MDP) has a strong focus on the leadership and management skills required to develop professional learning in other adults more broadly. The programme has been designed by the School of Teacher Education and Development with support of key colleagues in partner schools. MDP is centred on the skills and abilities needed to be able to support student teachers to have the greatest positive impact on pupils in our schools, and to support the retention of new teachers in the profession by preparing them to be more independent and resilient in their practice. It offers school mentors the opportunity to reflect on the diversity and transferability of the mentors’ skills in and beyond ITE. There are five sessions that will appeal to all levels of experience, each session will be run in various geographic locations throughout the year to ensure that school mentors can access local provision and build local networks. The sessions run consecutively but are also stand-alone, and they are skill focused rather than process driven. All sessions provide opportunities for school colleagues to meet the standards on the Partnership Evaluation Framework (PEF). All sessions are mapped to the National Standards for school-based initial teacher training (ITT) mentors (July 2016). OVERVIEW SESSION 1: SESSION 2: THE CONSCIOUS MENTOR THE MENTOR AS ROLE MODEL 18 OCTOBER 2016, 1.15–4.45pm 29 NOVEMBER 2016, 1.15–4.45pm Brompton Academy, Gillingham (ME7 5HT)

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.
