To the Oaks Academy WELCOME TO THE OAKS ACADEMY I would like to begin by wishing everyone a Happy New Year What’s been going on at and say that I am excited to welcome in 2017 and look The Oaks Academy? forward to what the New Year may bring. This time last year, we had just opened our doors as The Oaks Academy and were embarking on our improvement journey. As we celebrate our first birthday and welcome in 2017, it is a good time to reflect on the achievements of the last year. In our most recent review, undertaken by The Dean Trust, our improvement partners, the following things were noted: INSIDE THIS ISSUE “There is no doubt that since JANUARY 2017 the inception of the new SLT, standards have risen considerably.” “…the quality of teaching, learning and assessment has improved” “ …the school has eradicated the majority of practice ‘requiring improvement’ and significantly increased the amount of practices that are at least ‘good’ across the whole school.” ACHIEVEMENTS | ADVENTURES | TRIPS “ In all lessons pupils were able to articulate SPORT | VISITS | AWARDS | FUN | LEARNING what they were learning.” HARD WORK | CAREERS | CELEBRATIONS It makes me very proud that all of the hard work, undertaken by staff and students, has been recognised and that, with the strong systems we now have in place, we can concentrate on ensuring that every student receives the best education possible, tailored to their individual needs. As always we are committed to ensuring that our motto of ‘Inspire, Believe, Achieve’ underpins all areas of our work. This publication is the first of our new termly newsletters and it reflects just some of the opportunities that are presented to students at the school and gives us the perfect platform to celebrate collective and individual successes.

  • Frequently Asked Questions Merger of Knutsford Multi-Academy Trust and Congleton Multi-Academy Trust
    Frequently asked questions Merger of Knutsford Multi-Academy Trust and Congleton Multi-Academy Trust What is a Multi-Academy Trust? A Multi-Academy Trust (“MAT”) is a formal collaboration between two or more academy schools. Schools in a MAT do not need to be the same type of school. For example, primary schools can be in a MAT with secondary and/or special schools. The board of trustees of the MAT is ultimately responsible for all of the schools within the trust, and trustees are directly accountable to the Secretary of State for Education. However, trusts may delegate a range of decision-making powers to the Local Governing Bodies of the individual academies. Why would two multi-academy trusts wish to merge? Through combination two smaller multi-academy trust can generate greater educational and financial benefit in some of the following ways: • provide a wider range of experiences for children • share best practice between staff to improve outcomes for children • be more financially efficient than smaller trusts (for example by centralising services such as finance, HR, payroll, and procurement) and direct any savings made in this way to children and school staff • focus funds where needed more quickly by working collaboratively • greater flexibility in staff support and deployment • achieve more routine access to large-scale funds (e.g. School Condition Allocation) to help schools to improve further and faster • establish better succession planning programmes. The government wants to see smaller MATs combine to create more sustainability and impact. They provide funding and technical support is help this happen. Can you provide more information how things work at the moment? KMAT Kmat is a MAT consisting of 4 schools: Knutsford Academy (11 to 19), Cheshire Studio School (14 to 19), Egerton Primary School, and Sir William Stanier Academy (11 to 16).

    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.
