Dear Applicant April 15 Dear Applicant Thank you for requesting the information pack and application form for the post of Teacher in Charge of Spanish. I hope that this letter will help you to understand better what Dane Court is like, where we might be heading in the future. Dane Court Grammar School is an 11-18 mixed, selective school of approximately 1,200 students. Our PAN is 165 in Years 7 – 11 and we are usually oversubscribed. Students have to pass the Kent Test to gain entry into Year 7, but only approximately 13% of the local cohort passes. The Kent IMD score places the school as 25th of 100 and the IDACI score as 31 out of 100. In January 2009, the school federated with King Ethelbert School, a local 11-16 high school that was a high priority National Challenge school. The schools share a Governing Body and an Executive Headteacher. Both schools became academies in April 2011 and both schools are currently ‘outstanding’. Both schools were also in Wave 3 of ‘Building Schools for the Future’ and have been significantly rebuilt and refurbished. Each benefitted from approximately £20 million investment. Dane Court finished its rebuilding and refurbishment in October 2011 although the school was heavily engaged in the planning, designing and building phases for four years. Thanet is a lovely place in which to live and work. The beaches are some of the cleanest in England, there is stunning local architecture and houses are still relatively cheap. The people are down to earth and want the best for themselves and for the area. Dane Court introduced the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in September 2008, initially with a cohort of 25 students. In September 2012, the school moved entirely over to the IBDP, together with the International Baccalaureate Careers Related Certificate (IBCC). Every student in Year 12 studies one of these programmes and the IB has been a focus of significant staff development over the last few years. We are currently planning to introduce the IB Middle Years Programme. Dane Court is the hub school for an international IBCC pilot, responsible, as an IB World School, for overseeing the delivery of IBCC in eight Kent high schools. Dane Court is a sponsor school and is currently in the process of sponsoring The Ellington Hereson School, a mixed, 600 student high school in Ramsgate and Cliftonville Primary School, also with 600 students. We are also negotiating the formation of an umbrella trust, to include Hartsdown Technology College, that will commission consultants to assist in the delivery of school improvement. The Dane Court Grammar and King Ethelbert Trust has submitted a bid to become a Teaching School (commencing in March 2013, if successful). We are a part of a strategic partnership with Hartsdown Technology College, Sandwich Technology School, Canterbury Academy, Herne Bay High School and Joy Lane Primary School. Prior to formally becoming a Teaching School, we have already set up a company, East Kent Learning Alliance (EKLA) to deliver CPD, ITT and Succession planning / talent management across this part of Kent. Dane Court is a Facilitation School, with two trained facilitators to deliver the OTP Programme. We have already run a 10 week course with teachers from three other local schools. Together with teachers at King Ethelbert School, we have designed a new course, including aspects of OTP and Lead Learners and will deliver this to our teachers, as well as to those from other schools. This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a dynamic, unique and very exciting environment. You will be working with colleagues who are expert, committed and very supportive indeed. If you want to know more about the school, if you want to visit us before applying, or if you want to ask me any questions – please feel free to contact me, either by phone or by e-mail to [email protected] To apply for the post, please fill in the application form and post or email it, together with a letter setting out why you want the post and what you might offer. Applications will be dealt with as they arrive. I hope that you will decide to apply and I look forward to meeting you in due course. Yours sincerely, Andrew Fowler Head of School .

  • Please Note : All Recorded Crime Figures Within This Document Have Been Extracted from Our Crime Recording System on 30Th March 2006 and May Be Subject to Change
    Please Note : All recorded crime figures within this document have been extracted from our crime recording system on 30th March 2006 and may be subject to change. The following report relates to recorded crimes for the period of 1st January 2005 to 28th February 2006. The crime recording system used by Kent Police does not have a specific field which enables identification of school premises. The means by which Kent Police has extracted the following data is through the use of specific wording recorded within the 'Modus Operandi (MO) Scene' field. Therefore, this data is based on :- 1) Those crimes that have been reported to Kent Police 2) Those that are defined as crimes and have subsequently been recorded by Kent Police 3) And, where the appropriate wording has been recorded in the 'MO Scene' field. Whilst the 'MO Scene' field records the crime as occurring on school premises, it does not necessarily reflect crimes committed within school hours or involving pupils/teachers. The data will include, for example, crimes to school property that occur overnight i.e. Criminal Damage, Arson and Burglary. It will also include crimes that occur in the vicinity of schools, but not necessarily against school property or within the school i.e. Theft of and from Vehicles and Theft of Pedal Cycles. It is also likely that a proportion of recorded Drug Offences will involve persons not associated with the school, but were committed on school grounds i.e. fields/outbuildings/sheds/garages. Although the crime may have occurred within the vicinity of a school, it may not have been reported by persons associated with the school and therefore, the school may be totally unaware of the crime.

  • 2019 Transfer to Secondary School School Admission Appeals
    Please return your appeal form by 29 March 2019 2019 Transfer to Secondary School School Admission Appeals A Guide for Parents This guide is to help families who have not got a place at the secondary school they wanted. If you are disappointed and worried about where your child will go to school in September, this guide will answer some of your questions and explain what you can do next. In the first instance you should visit the school you have been offered to get a feel for it and meet with the headteacher. Once you have done this, if you are still not satisfied you may want to consider lodging an appeal for your preferred school(s). www.kent.gov.uk/schooladmissions Why didn’t my child get a place at the school I wanted? The County Council will have tried to offer a place at the school you wanted. If that hasn’t happened it’s probably because the school had more applications than places available and other children had a higher priority for the place than your child. It may also be because your child did not meet the entry requirements for the school and so could not be offered a place. What does this mean? When a school doesn’t have enough places for everyone who wants to go there, it has to have a way of deciding which children should get in. Often a school takes the children who live closest first, so if you live further away, it may have filled all its places with children who live nearer.

  • URN Institution Name 143129 Phoenix Academy 142905 South
    University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag All schools on this list meet the requirements for the University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag. The Institution Contextual Flag is given to all institutions whose data indicates that they perform in the bottom 40% nationally for KS5 results reported by the Department for Education each year. We use the average point school per entry and where data is not available, we use KS4 result, if available. In order to make this more reliable we look at data over a three year period to see if they are low performing for at least two out of the last three years. In cases where an Institution is flagged, but subsequently closes, the flag will be retained and the institution will continue to appear on the list. We use the Institution supplied by you in your UCAS application (the UCAS centre or Last Institution) to identify whether it has a Contextual Flag. Please note: independent schools are not included, neither do we have data from government agencies in Scotland and Northern Ireland and therefore these cannot be given a flag. Similarly, there may be schools or colleges which have recently changed name, status or have merged and this has resulted in no data being reported by the Department of Education , in these instances we will not be able to assess the Institution for a Contextual Flag.
