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 programme is open to all Sixth Form applicants showing an interest in football. Enrolled players undertake daily lessons followed by 2 hours of professional football coaching. With all graduates enjoying a 100% BTEC pass rate, it is clear that lessons are being learned in the classroom as well as on the football pitch. Proud course leader Mr Clark beamed “over the past few years, it has been great to see so many students enrol in the programme and take such big strides in developing their education as well as their football ability. We have had graduates who have signed professional football contracts at home and abroad as well as many who have gained places at university or won football scholarships in the USA.” Positions for the 2013-14 season are still available and all interested students are encouraged to apply via the academy website. Page 1 A Message from the Principal We return from the Easter break with some excellent news regarding GCSE results. Exam Results We have already secured 55% A*- C Grades in GCSE Maths following recent exam results. English Language results stand at 64% A* - C Grades providing the Examination Board do not move the grade boundaries as they did last year. This means our overall 5 or more A* - C grades stand at 49% which is 3% up on last year and very close to our target of 50%. However, we are still very much on the case: staff and pupils are working hard and we are anticipating further improvements and hope to exceed our target. Leadership Team We have recently recruited to the Leadership Team at the Academy. I am delighted to report that Mr Jason Trevarthen has been promoted to Deputy Principal and Mrs Vicki Rogers from Northfield School in Stockton-on-Tees has been appointed Assistant Principal. Mr Trevarthen takes up his post as of 1st June and Mrs Rogers from the 1st September.

We sat on mats around the stage and waited for it to begin… This is what the pupils said, “It was awesome! It had lots of props to make it feel real and they made fake blood for when Macbeth killed King Duncan, Banquo and Macduff’s children. It looked really realistic and you could feel the blood come on you. All of the stuff they used for the lighting made it feel really scary and on the part where the witches came in, it felt like they were creeping around you but you could not see them.’ We were led through the story by the Porter, who explained what was going on throughout the play. We witnessed fights and betrayals, were splattered with blood and had a ringside seat to watch the madness and mayhem. The performance was followed by a workshop where students could question the ac- tors in character and then the actors themselves. Some excel- lent student questions ranged from ‘How do you make the fake blood?’ to ‘Macbeth, how do you feel about Lady Macbeth after the murder of King Duncan?’ The students thoroughly enjoyed the day and took away from it not just a better understanding of the play, but an awareness that Shakespeare can be fun, wild and dangerous.” Page 3 Man Utd Reward Trip Pupils Bake for Marie Fourteen pupils from the Academy were Curie Cancer Care rewarded for good attendance with an opportunity of a 'life time', when they watched Pupils Nicole Bartell, Bryony Whitehurst, Phoebe their beloved team, Man Utd, take on Norwich McCaig and Leah Beattie baked a delicious City at Old Trafford, at the beginning of March. selection of cakes to sell to staff and pupils to raise money for 'The Great Daffodil Appeal', a Sitting high in the Sir Alex Ferguson stand focus in March for the Marie Curie Cancer Care among 76,000 fans, the pupils watched Man charity.

  • 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’.
