  • Year 6 Transition Booklet 2020
    Year 6 Transition Booklet 2020 Welcome FROM THE HEADTEACHER Firstly, thank you for choosing South Nottinghamshire Academy for your child's secondary education. As a parent, I know the importance of making the right decision on behalf of our children and I can assure you that we will never take this for granted. We believe that all students have a right to attend a school that is ambitious for them and will strive to ensure they achieve the very best that they can. Our ethos is built around ‘Pushing our boundaries to achieve more’ which is underpinned with the highest expectations of what each student is capable of achieving. We passionately believe that in order for students to reach their academic potential, they must experience the highest levels of individual care, guidance and support. Within a welcoming and supportive environment, we continue to provide a stimulating and engaging education where all students can flourish and succeed. In 2019, SNA students once again secured some spectacular outcomes and the Academy secured very strong GCSE results. Our Progress 8 score was +0.32 which means that all of our students do nearly a third of a grade better in all of their subjects than similar students at other schools. 83% of students achieved the Basics 4+ (English and Maths at grade 4) and 60% achieved Basic 5+ (English and Maths at grade 5). Equally as successful, at A Level, 82% of students gained A* -C grades and 64% gained A*-B grades. As a consequence, South Nottinghamshire Academy was found to be among the best performing non - selective secondary schools in the country, receiving two awards for being in the top 10% nationally for attainment and for being in DfE Band 2 for student progress at key stage 4 (the awards are based on 2019 data provided by the Department for Education and Ofsted, and for the school’s commitment to collaboration, analysed by SSAT, the Schools, Students and Teachers Network).

  • Samworth Academy (NUSA)
    Date: xxx 2014 Contact: Esme Macauley www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk Tel: 0115 876 3382 Email: [email protected] Nottingham schools make a comeback The schools being turned around after “Inadequate” judgements last year are “making a strong recovery”, education bosses say. Last December seven City schools and academies were judged to be failing their pupils by the Government education watchdog Ofsted. The schools rapidly drew up improvement plans to tackle the problems identified. The City Council intervened to give specialist support. One year on and Ofsted has endorsed the progress being made in schools to get back on track. Making strides in behaviour and attendance Two of the first improvements are better pupil behaviour and attendance. Twelve months ago all of the schools had attendance rates well below the national average. Today the figures have improved by up to 4% and are now more in line with attendance rates nationally. Pupil behaviour has also improved with more students demonstrating a good attitude to learning. Educations bosses put the improvements down to the consistent enforcement of attendance and behaviour policies. Cllr Sam Webster, Executive Assistant for Schools at the City Council, said: “The improvements in school attendance are really quite remarkable. It is incredibly challenging to turn around poor attitudes to learning, to ensure more pupils are consistently at school and working hard. “School leaders have to be congratulated for embracing new policies and approaches. They have consistently taken a zero tolerance stance to unauthorised school absence and poor behaviour such as swearing, wearing trainers and using mobile phones.
