  • Pupil Premium Review for 2015-2016
    Pupil Premium Review for 2015-2016 Background Summer 2014 The performance of disadvantaged students in Year 11 in the summer of 2014 was very disappointing. The Year 11 disadvantaged cohort in 2013/14 was small, significantly less able on entry than their peers (KS2 APS of 26 vs. 29 for non-disadvantaged) and over 50% of them had extremely challenging home circumstances and personal issues. We worked tirelessly with the group and used an extensive array of support strategies. This meant that despite the challenges we improved in several measures from the 2012/13 cohort – we increased the APS in both English and Maths (and narrowed the gaps with their peers), we increased the proportion of the cohort making 3 levels of progress in English and our Best 8 Value Added Score was higher than that of disadvantaged students nationally (991.1 vs. a national figure of 977). Additionally every single student went onto appropriate education, employment or training (0% NEETs). However, the performance of disadvantaged students in Maths was not acceptable and neither was the proportion achieving 5 A*-C inc. English and Maths. Summer 2015 The 2015 disadvantaged cohort was similar in ability (KS2 APS was 26) and again, a significant number had very challenging circumstances, including five students who joined us during KS4 after failing to succeed at other local secondary schools due to their extremely challenging behaviour. In February 2016, The Department for Education published the national school performance tables and we were delighted to see the exceptional progress made by our students. Overall progress for schools at this point was measured by a ‘Best 8 Value Added Score’.

  • News from the Principal
    News from the Principal News for parents, carers, pupils, students of the Academy and the community of Paignton April 2013 Amazing Season For TUFC Development As Programme Draws To Close The Academy’s Torquay United Football Development Programme is enjoying the most successful season since the link was forged in 2007, with the squad on the verge of accomplishing an unprecedented ‘treble’. Already crowned South West College’s Champions, the squad requires just one point from their remaining two league games to clinch the British College’s Sport South West League title. The squad are all members of the 6th Form made up of made up from a combination of locally sourced players, in conjunction with players acquired from across the entire nation. They have bonded superbly and produced some fantastic performances which has seen them claim some notable victories against South Devon College, Ivybridge Community College and even current ‘League 1A’ Champions Merchants’ Sports Academy from Bristol who were defeated by an amazing 7 – 3 margin in the recent South West Area Cup Final. In pursuit of their third piece of silverware, the U18s Devon County Cup, Paignton must overcome Plymouth’s Plymstock School. The current squad have developed massively under the expert coaching of Nick Milton and have also benefitted from the input of former Premier League custodian Robbie Herrera. Players who impress are given the opportunity to train and in some cases play for Torquay United’s Youth Apprentices and even senior reserve squads. 2009 graduate Saul Halpin went all the way and became the initiative’s first full professional player.

  • The Next Stop
    THE NEXT STOP A PARENT’S GUIDE TO THE MAIN BUS ROUTES SERVING SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN PLYMOUTH SEPTEMBER 2014 This leaflet is designed to help parents when deciding which secondary school they would prefer their child to attend in September 2014. Most opt for the local school or community college, often within easy walking distance of home, but others choose one outside the immediate area and may, therefore, need information about the availability of bus services. All Plymouth secondary schools and community colleges are listed in this leaflet, together with the main bus routes that stop at, or very near to, each one and the local areas that each route serves. (The route number and operator are coded – for example, PC 50 is a Plymouth Citybus route serving Tor Bridge High from the city centre via Prince Rock and Leigham). For further information about routes and times contact:- First Devon & Cornwall: Telephone 0845 600 1420 Plymouth Citybus: Telephone 0845 077 2223 Warning This leaflet lists bus routes as at September 2013, but these may be changed or even cancelled at any time. The leaflet cannot, therefore, be a firm guide as to the bus services available from September 2014 onwards, nor does it imply that pupils using these services would be entitled to free school transport. Free School Transport and Concessionary Fares The current position is that Plymouth pupils are not normally entitled to free transport to a mainstream secondary school because they all live within walking distance – defined in law as 3 miles by the shortest available walking route – of a designated comprehensive school.
