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.

  • Preit Chahal Principal Hugh Robinson CEO Our Ref: GAH/EMH 17 March 2021 Dear Parent/Carer GOSFORTH ACADEMY HOME TESTING INFORM
    Our Ref: GAH/EMH 17 March 2021 Dear Parent/Carer GOSFORTH ACADEMY HOME TESTING INFORMATION Regular asymptomatic (no symptoms) COVID-19 testing has been in place at Gosforth Academy since February 2021. The Government has recently announced that all secondary aged students will also be offered regular asymptomatic COVID-19 tests to take at home with LFD kits. All secondary aged students will be offered LFD tests to take at home twice a week, so that we can reduce the spread of the virus. Up to one in three people who have COVID-19 can spread the virus without knowing. This is because they have no symptoms. To reduce the spread of the virus, we need to identify those individuals. We can do this within Gosforth Academy by carrying out tests at home twice every week. Testing pupils/students at home We understand that each child has individual needs. Many children will adapt to testing becoming part of their routine, others will find it more challenging. Taking part in testing is voluntary and all children will be able to attend Gosforth Academy whether they take part or not. We hope that the option to take the test in the morning or the evening will support families to test at home. Students will collect tests kits from school. Tests are free of charge. Initially, students will receive testing kits with a leaflet on how to take the test and report the results. We require results to be recorded on the NHS Test & Trace self-report website and on the school FROG page.

    Our Ref: PRC/EMH 22 January 2021 Dear Parent/Students, With daily deaths rising to well over 1000 per day this week, I do hope this letter finds you and your family well. It is clear we all need to continue to do all we can individually and collectively to reduce the chances of infection in our community. In school, we have continued to cater for a very small minority of key worker/vulnerable students alongside completing our final week of external vocational exams and conducting a successful mass testing trial. Remote learning By the end of next week, Year 10-13 will be having at least one live lesson per week in every subject. Please be clear, this complements work set on Frog, it is not a replacement for it. Since I last wrote to you, over 500 live lessons have been delivered but research still shows variety is key for all the reasons mentioned in my last update. May I take this opportunity to thank students for the sensible way they have engaged in these lessons. Please remember to continue to keep to a routine of timetabled lessons, wherever possible, and make sure you stop at the end of the school day. Y11 and Y13 exams As you may already know, currently Ofqual and the DFE are consulting about how student grades should be awarded this summer. As a school we will be responding to this consultation. If you would also like to share your thoughts on the key issues for consideration then the link below will guide you.
