We would like to thank you for your patience in us sharing this information with you, we are sure you can appreciate that a lot needed to be considered in order to ensure the safety of all students and staff. With the support of Oasis Community Learning, we have completed an in-depth risk assessment which has been reviewed by the academy’s local health and safety committee. This committee will continue to meet weekly until further notice. As you will be aware, the Government has made it clear that all students, in all year groups, are expected to return to school full-time from the beginning of September. You can read the guidance here/by searching for ‘DfE guidance parents.’ To ensure that all students and staff can return safely, there are a significant number of actions that the Government have asked us to take. We must: Minimise the risk of transmission of coronavirus Be able to continue teaching and learning in the case of a local outbreak Alter how we run the Academy day-to-day to meet the new safety requirements Amend our curriculum, behaviour and pastoral support offer in the context of all the new arrangements. In response to these requirements, we have created our Parent & Student Guide to September 2020; please click here to view this document. In this guide you will find all the information you need to ensure you and your child are prepared to return to school in the Autumn Term.

  • Curriculum Statement of Intent
    Curriculum Statement of Intent OCL Statement of Intent Our curriculum has been designed to ensure our young people thrive, achieve and flourish. It enables them to understand what it is to be human and equips them for life so that they become kind and model citizens. Our curriculum not only develops our young people academically but socially, emotionally, culturally, physically and spiritually. Whilst our knowledge-rich curriculum is designed to ensure the very best academic outcomes for our young people using the latest research in how the brain and memory works, it is about so much more than simply securing great results. It is about our academy’s determination to achieve excellence with equity and integrity: where we bring advantage to the disadvantaged, where barriers to learning are successfully overcome and there are no limits to the achievement and ambition of our most able. OAC Statement of Intent • Overriding need is to provide world-class, knowledge based curriculum for our students that uses the NC as a springboard to more. In short, to introduce them to the best of what has been thought and said. • To provide the breadth of curriculum via an extra KS4 option for students, thus promoting the extra uptake of creative subjects at KS4. • To incorporate explicit career guidance so students can see the why and how of a subject. • To create conscientious and productive members of society, we must also help their spiritual and moral growth. • To move away from the intangibility of skills based, student-led learning towards more concrete and measurable knowledge based curricula.

  • Education in the New Addington Area Update
    Education in the New Addington Area New Addington is an area of high deprivation in Croydon where the majority of children would be deemed ‘disadvantaged’ or are part of families that are ‘just about managing’, a term used in the Government consultation “Schools that work for everyone”. The area has historically been dominated by low- aspirational white British families but is now seeing an increasing number of immigrant (sub-Sahara African and Eastern European) families moving into the area, creating new challenges for the six primary schools1 in New Addington. These schools have very different characteristics: Ofsted ratings range from Outstanding to Inadequate; most are now academies (two of which are converter); the majority of schools are undersubscribed creating financial pressures; and the reputation of each school is not linked to its academic achievement. Rowdown Primary School has traditionally had a poor reputation, yet has been regularly ranked second or third out of the six in the DfE Performance Tables2. Aspirational parents have their children go to Fairchildes and Wolsey Infants, both of which are oversubscribed, whether they research performance or listen to public opinion. Others just send their child to the nearest school leaving Rowdown and Castle Hill (situated in the most deprived part of New Addington) as the poor relations. This means Rowdown has often been at the lower end of the rankings after Early Years (ranking in the bottom 5% of all Croydon primary schools in 2011-2014) and that Reception cohorts are generally around 45-50 pupils only. Rowdown manages to achieve expected progress3 in line with national average4, one of only two schools in New Addington that can claim this in 2015, the other being its academy sponsor, Fairchildes.
