    WORKINGTON ACADEMY Mr D Bird Headteacher Stainburn Road, T: 01900 873926 Workington E: [email protected] “Be The Best You Can Be” Cumbria W: www.workingtonacademy.org CA14 4EB 19 December 2019 Dear Parents/Carers As we approach the end of a very busy Autumn term it is important to reflect upon all that has happened since September. New students and staff alike have made a great start at the Academy, and we have seen many exciting new developments, not least launching our new and innovative sixth form offer included within the West Coast Sixth Form. This has been particularly well received amongst our year 11 students who will form the first ever cohort when they enter year 12 in the next academic year. This new venture will provide a broader range of subject option choices for Workington Academy students to study at sixth form and delivered here in the Academy. Over the Autumn term our largest ever year 7 intake have made a fantastic start to their secondary school career, building new friendships, developing their Form Group teams, involving themselves in new experiences, clubs and learning new skills. Year 7 discos, trips and events have all been well attended and supported, culminating in their Energi Christmas Social Event, which was a fantastic success. Unfortunately, due to the continuing poor weather, Derwentwater Day has still not taken place, but please rest assured that this will take place within the Spring Term. Nevertheless, we are delighted with the progress our youngest students have made throughout this term, as they have settled in brilliantly to secondary school life.

    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.

  • Final Site Selection Topic Paper Update January 2019
    Final Site Selection Topic Paper Update January 2019 Page 1 Original site 1/ABB/002A/R reference Land adjacent Abbey Site address Road Settlement Abbeytown Site area 1.7 hectares Site capacity 35 units Use Housing Type Greenfield Site Characteristics Constitutes a large level agricultural field on the NE edge of the village bounded to the north by the remains of a disused railway line and embankment (and the former station). Residential development to the south of the site across Abbey Road, to the south east, and to the west, along with The Wheatsheaf public house (distinctive Carlisle & District State Management scheme pub). Predominantly 2 storey modern detached dwellings, but traditional barn conversions adjacent to SE corner. Farm buildings to the E – currently in use. Attractive natural stone wall along S boundary along road frontage. Station Villa to the north is elevated. Small portion of hedgerow along northern boundary. Constraints Amenity impact of adjacent farm, potentially from nearby pub and coal yard. AONB abuts northern boundary. 1 Close proximity of Grade 1 listed Holme Cultrum Abbey – potential for archaeological remains, and heritage implications Radon level 1. Potential connectivity with designated ecological sites in Waver estuary to the north Policy context/fit Western portion of the site is a saved employment allocation (REM1) in the Allerdale Local Plan (1999), and this allocation lies within the 1999 ALP settlement boundary. This employment allocation is not being renewed. The existing settlement limit follows Abbey Road and incorporates adjoining housing and Station Villa to the rear, the land identified relates well to the existing settlement limit.

  • 19 June 2019 Dear Parent/Carer Cumbria
    19 June 2019 Dear Parent/Carer Headteacher: Dr R P Petrie BSc PhD Cumbria Local Authority Consultation on the future of Resourced Provisions I am writing to inform you of the above consultation on the future of Strategic Resourced Provisions within Cumbria; the consultation documents and request for responses can be found here: https://cumbria.citizenspace.com/cumbria-county-council/resourced-provision-consultation-1/ As you are aware, we are proud at Cockermouth School to host a Resourced Provision for students who have varying needs on the Autistic Spectrum. As a truly inclusive school, we value the diversity of our student population and have, through the hard work of our staff, created a school community where everyone is supported and integrated. We do not subscribe to the model of a ‘school within a school’ and our incredible team within our Learning Support department work closely with teachers to ensure that any student who requires support (not just those within the Resourced Provision) are given the help they need to succeed. We are currently oversubscribed in our Resourced Provision (29 students when our capacity is 24), a situation that reflects the dire need for further places for autism across the county. The proposed consultation acknowledges this shortage but, in our opinion, does not tackle this in the correct way. There is a significant shortfall in the county High Needs Block budget, the funding stream that supports students with SEND. This proposal aims to redress some of that shortfall by creating hubs that will centrally employ staff, thus removing them from being employed by schools such as ours.

  • News Release
    News Release PR 16689 For Immediate Release 25 February 2021 More Covid-19 Lateral Flow Tests centres open around county Essential workers who cannot work from home now have more ways to access regular COVID-19 Rapid Result Lateral Flow testing with eleven testing sites now open in Cumbria. Last week five testing sites opened in Carlisle, Aspatria, Kendal, Penrith, and Millom. This week, six additional sites have been been opened in Barrow in Furness, Dalton, Milnthorpe, Sedburgh, Workington and Whitehaven. Lateral Flow tests give a result in 30 minutes and help identify asymptomatic carriers, people who do have COVID-19 and are infectious but are not ill. These people can then self-isolate to protect others. The testing sites are open to any essential workers who cannot work from home and come into regular contact with other people through their job, and who do not have COVID-19 symptoms. The tests are free and no booking is required, but please note the sites are only open at the times stated. The tests are a major element of Cumbria’s strategy to battle COVID-19 and quickly becoming a routine part of many people’s working lives, with thousands having a test every week. But not all employers are able to provide the testing themselves and that’s where the County’s community testing sites come in. People who do have symptoms of coronavirus should book a test at nhs.uk/coronavirus or by calling 119. They should not attend a Lateral Flow Community Testing Site. Colin Cox, Cumbria’s Director of Public Health, said: “Mass Lateral Flow Testing of those without symptoms is a key part of the strategy for preventing the spread of Covid and getting us out of lockdown.

  • Hello Future CEIAG Online Platform Provision for Schools and Colleges
    Evaluation - Online CEIAG Platforms During phase 1, Hello Future provided eligible schools and colleges in Cumbria with funding to support CEIAG. We invested a total of £233,474. This support was welcomed by schools and colleges to assist in meeting statutory career guidance requirements. £99,511 was used to enable schools and colleges to access online CEIAG platforms. Our initial investment aimed to fulfil gaps in existing CEIAG provision and provided opportunities for schools and colleges to experiment with different resources to assist them in making informed decisions on the interventions they want to fund in the future. Schools and Colleges used the fund to access different CEIAG platforms including Unifrog, Cascaid Kudos, START and U-Explore. Members of staff from 16 schools and colleges responded to the survey.
