    SUMMER 2016: ISSUE 40 Thank you for taking the time to catch up with news of the old school, and with each other. May I also express my sincere thanks to Lucy Sheehan for the work she does to keep the College and our alumni in contact with each other, and also to Nick Henderson as the President of the OA Society. Nick and I have been discussing ways in which the College and OAs can work more closely together, to ensure that OAs are able to stay in contact with each other as well as with the College.

Inspired by Mark Keatley Palmer, OAs of all vintages drove into the College with cars of similar or even more ancient vintage. For this and future years we merged OA Day with the Companions’ Day – the Companions being former staff. This led to many surprise reunions, as teachers realised that their pupils of yesteryear had grown into responsible middle age, and OAs realised that their teachers might have been human after all.

  • Annual Report of the Oxfordshire Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (Sacre)
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE OXFORDSHIRE STANDING ADVISORY COUNCIL ON RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (SACRE) September 2016 – July 2017 CONTENTS ➢ Foreword ➢ 1. Standards and quality of provision of RE ➢ 2. Managing the SACRE and Partnership with the LA and Other Key Stakeholders ➢ 3. Effectiveness of the Agreed Syllabus ➢ 4. Collective Worship ➢ Annex 1: Membership of SACRE ➢ Annex 2: Attendance record for SACRE Members 2016-17 ➢ Annex 3: Reflections ➢ Annex 4: The value of SACRE: a view from two members ➢ Examination results by individual schools FOREWORD FROM THE CHAIR I was honoured to be elected Chair of SACRE in November and first and foremost want to thank Nick Wood for all his years in the role; I hope I will serve the Council as effectively and enthusiastically, if perhaps not quite for so long! These are challenging times for RE and SACREs and my main priority as Chair is to ensure that we, as a representative body, are as active and effective as we can be in supporting and challenging schools to provide good quality RE to all pupils. We will do this by making our presence more felt both physically and on the web. Whilst communication between SACRE and schools is more challenging, we recognise the importance of working with schools to share their good practice and to spread the provision of quality religious education and meaningful collective worship. RE remains a statutory subject for all schools and its importance has never been more acute than today. Pupils need the opportunity to make sense of their own and others’ views of life and to have an accurate knowledge and understanding of different beliefs and ways of life.

  • Art, Craft and Design Education
    Making a mark: art, craft and design education 2008/11 This report evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of art, craft and design education in schools and colleges in England. It is based principally on subject inspections of 96 primary schools, 91 secondary schools and seven special schools between 2008 and 2011. This includes five visits in each phase to focus on an aspect of good practice. The report also draws on institutional inspections, 69 subject inspections in colleges, and visits to a sample of art galleries. Part A focuses on the key inspection findings in the context of the continued popularity of the subject with pupils and students. Part B considers how well the concerns about inclusion, creativity and drawing raised in Ofsted’s 2008 report, Drawing together: art, craft and design in schools, have been addressed.

  • Social Selectivity of State Schools and the Impact of Grammars
    _____________________________________________________________________________ Social selectivity of state schools and the impact of grammars A summary and discussion of findings from ‘Evidence on the effects of selective educational systems’ by the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring at Durham University The Sutton Trust, October 2008 Contents Executive summary 3 Introduction and background 5 Findings -- selectivity 7 Findings – pupil intakes 10 Findings – attainment 12 Discussion 13 Proposed ways forward 16 Appendix 18 2 Executive summary Overview This study shows that the vast majority of England's most socially selective state secondary schools are non-grammar schools. However, England's remaining grammar schools are enrolling half as many academically able children from disadvantaged backgrounds as they could do. The research also concludes that the impact on the academic results of non-grammar state schools due to the ‘creaming off’ of pupils to grammar schools is negligible. Grammars have a widespread, low-level, impact on pupil enrolments across the sector. A relatively small number of non-selective schools do see a significant proportion of pupils ‘lost’ to nearby grammars, but this does not lead to lower academic achievement. The Trust proposes that a further study be undertaken to review ‘eleven plus’ selection tests to see whether they deter bright pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds applying to grammar schools, and urges more grammars to develop outreach schemes to raise the aspirations and achievement of children during primary school. It also backs calls for religious schools to consider straightforward 'binary' criteria to decide which pupils should be admitted on faith grounds, and other ways – including the use of banding and ballots – to help make admissions to all secondary state schools operate more equitably.
