Department for Education Freedom to lead: a study of outstanding primary school leadership in England Technical annex: Findings from schools October 2014 Isos Partnership These are 18 case studies designed to reflect real-life examples of outstanding primary leadership. Together, the case studies provide the substance of a summary report: Freedom to lead: a study of outstanding primary school leadership in England. The content of the case study is derived entirely from information provided by the school mainly through interviews, supplemented by extracts from relevant Ofsted reports. Although the writing uses both quotation and description, it is co-constructed with the school and reflects the work of the school not the views of the author. 2 Contents List of figures 15 List of tables 16 Case study 1 - Ash Grove Primary and Nursery School, Macclesfield 17 Primary leadership case study: from ailing school to system leader 17 Portrait of the school 18 Leadership and governance 19 School improvement: becoming outstanding 21 Performance monitoring and performance management 21 Modelling to improve the quality of teaching 21 A relentless focus on the teaching of basic skills 22 High expectations 22 Phonics from age three 22 Speech and language therapy 22 Language development and educational enrichment 23 Planning and assessment 23 Looking outward 24 Initial teacher training 24 School-to-school support 25 Looking forward 26 Policy issues 26 Case study 2 - Booth Wood Primary School, Loughborough 28 Primary leadership case study: aspirational leadership that brings success to White British children 28 Portrait of the school 29 3 Leadership and governance 30 Path to headship 30 Path to outstanding headship 31 Senior leadership 32 Governance 32 School improvement: from satisfactory to outstanding 34 Phase 1: Transforming internal conditions for learning 34 Phase 2: Deepening and embedding creative and personalised learning 36 Looking forward 40 National curriculum and assessment 41 Looking outward 42 Teaching school alliance 42 Teacher supply and quality 42 Relationships with local authority 42 Case study 3 - The Colmore Federation, Birmingham 43 Primary leadership case study: long-term leadership of outstanding infant and junior schools, providing support to schools across an inner city 43 Portrait of the federated schools 45 Leadership and governance 46 Senior teams 48 Governance 49 School improvement: from good to outstanding 51 Ensuring a consistent focus on learning 51 Leading a focus on pupil-level progress 51 Providing a broad curriculum with wide-ranging opportunities for pupils 52 Leading change related to school growth 53 4 Empowering pupils to take ownership of their own learning 53 Learning from others 54 Looking outward 55 Leading work with other schools 55 Work across Birmingham 56 Leading a teaching school alliance 56 Looking forward 58 Case study 4 - Dearham Primary School, near Maryport 59 Primary leadership case study: serving a village; supporting Solway schools 59 Portrait of the school 60 Leadership and governance 62 The headteacher’s leadership journey 62 Governors’ perspective 63 Empowering staff 63 Positive governance 64 School improvement: from good to outstanding 65 Establishing a new culture 65 Finding out where the strengths and weaknesses of the school lay 65 Improving the school environment 65 Making the most of personnel changes 65 Monitoring and feedback at all levels 66 Looking outward 68 Support for other schools 68 Looking forward 70 Case study 5 - Dedham Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, near Colchester 71 5 Primary leadership case study: clear vision and the ambition to provide outstanding education in a rural primary school 71 Portrait of the school 72 Leadership and governance 73 Governance 75 School improvement: from good to outstanding 76 Assessment for learning (AfL) 77 Lesson observations and monitoring 77 Planning the support for pupils 78 Empowering pupils and promoting pupil responsibility 78 Looking outward 80 Looking forward 81 Case study 6 - Greenwood Academies Trust, Nottingham 82 Primary leadership case study: primary school recovery within an expanding academies trust spanning 3-19 provision 82 Portrait of Greenwood Academies Trust 83 Nottingham Academy 84 Primary system leadership 85 School improvement: strategy and impact 87 Strategy 87 Impact 89 A vision for 3-18 provision 90 Executive vision and governance 92 Looking forward 94 Case study 7 - John Donne Primary School, Peckham 96 Primary leadership case study: where two heads are better than one 96 6 Portrait of the school 97 Leadership and governance 98 Governance 99 School improvement: becoming outstanding 100 Professional learning 100 Looking outward 103 International links 103 Supporting other schools 105 Looking forward 106 Maximising potential 106 Curriculum and assessment 106 A verdict on co-headship 106 Case study 8 - L.E.A.D.

  • Chapter One: Introduction 1
    Feminism, citizenship and social activity: The role and importance of local women’s organisations, Nottingham 1918-1969 Samantha Clements, B.A., M.A. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2008 ABSTRACT This local study of single-sex organisations in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire is an attempt to redress some of the imbalanced coverage given to this area of history thus far. A chronological study, it examines the role, importance and, to some extent, impact of a wide range of women’s organisations in the local context. Some were local branches of national organisations, others were specifically concerned with local issues. The local focus allows a challenge to be made to much current thought as to the strength of a “women’s movement” in the years between the suffrage movement and the emergence of a more radical form of feminism in the 1970s. The strength of feminist issues and campaigning is studied in three periods – the inter-war period, the Second World War and its immediate aftermath, and the 1950s and 1960s. The first two periods have previously been studied on a national level but, until recently, the post-Second World war era has been written off as overwhelmingly domestic and therefore unconstructive to the achievement of any feminist aims. This study suggests that, at a local level, this is not the case and that other conclusions reached about twentieth century feminism at a national level are not always applicable to the local context. The study also goes further than attempting to track interest in equality feminism in the mid years of the century by discussing the importance of citizenship campaigns and the social dimension of membership of women’s organisations.

    Chapter Eight: Accessibility Priorities for Greater Nottingham Accessibility Strategy 2006/7 – 2010/11 147 148 Accessibility Strategy 2006/7 – 2010/11 Introduction 8.1. Following on from the Strategic Accessibility Assessment in Chapter 7, this chapter sets out the accessibility priorities for Greater Nottingham and explains why specific issues, groups and areas have been selected for action over the Plan period, with more detailed local accessibility analysis presented for the Local Accessibility Action plans proposed for early action from 2006/7. Accessibility priorities – initial scoping 8.2. An initial scoping of the likely accessibility priorities for the Plan area was presented in the Framework Accessibility Strategy which drew upon the opportunities identified from the wider national and local policy context set out in Chapters 3 and 4 and the partnership working described in Chapter 6. This provided a broad picture of the accessibility issues facing Greater Nottingham and where future resources and action should be concentrated over the Plan period in terms of key origins, destinations and networks: 8.3. Origins: Access requirements need to be considered for key population groups across Greater Nottingham, with a particular focus on those without access to a car, plus all those living within specific communities which have been prioritised by the authorities as being in particular need. Accessibility origins are set out in Table 8.1. 8.4. Destinations: Consideration was also given to the location of core services. The priority destinations set out in Table 8.2 include new employment land sites, district centres as defined in the Local Plans, other local centres and major shopping locations and other key destinations determined by developments taking place over the Plan period as set out in the programme in Annex D.

  • High Pavement Sixth Form College
    REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE High Pavement Sixth Form College June 1995 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council has a legal duty to make sure further education in England is properly assessed. The FEFC’s inspectorate inspects and reports on each college of further education every four years. The inspectorate also assesses and reports nationally on the curriculum and gives advice to FEFC’s quality assessment committee. College inspections are carried out in accordance with the framework and guidelines described in Council Circular 93/28. They involve full-time inspectors and registered part-time inspectors who have knowledge and experience in the work they inspect. Inspection teams normally include at least one member who does not work in education and a member of staff from the college being inspected. GRADE DESCRIPTORS The procedures for assessing quality are set out in the Council Circular 93/28. During their inspection, inspectors assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Their assessments are set out in the reports. They also use a five-point grading scale to summarise the balance between strengths and weaknesses. The descriptors for the grades are: • grade 1 – provision which has many strengths and very few weaknesses • grade 2 – provision in which the strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses • grade 3 – provision with a balance of strengths and weaknesses • grade 4 – provision in which the weaknesses clearly outweigh the strengths • grade 5 – provision which has many weaknesses and very few strengths.

  • The Nottinghamshire Baptists and Education
    The Nottinghamshire Baptists and Education EFORE the nineteenth century educational opportunities for the B poor were meagre. In Nottinghamshire there were ten endowed grammar schools and about fifty endowed elementary schools, many of them linked with chantry bequests. In country districts there were "dame schools" where a little reading and writing were taught at a fee of threepence a week. In Nottingham itself facilities were even scantier. For the few who could gain admission there were three en­ dowed grammar schools, the Free Grammar School, the Bluecoat School and the High Pavement School, and a number of private "aca­ demies". Dearden's Directory of 1834 lists eighty-six such schools, and when the Education Act of 1870 was passed there were over a hundred, of which thirty-two charged less than ninepence a week. One of the Nottinghamshire elementary schools, Collingham, was of Baptist foundation. In his will of 1699 William Harte left an endow­ ment to provide a school for the children of the village; his wife, Mary Harte, increased this in 1713.1 The teacher was to be a Baptist. In 1828 the school had twenty-three boys on its roll, of whom five were of Baptist families. Half a century later the endowment provided £50 a year and was supplemented by £15-£18 from public funds. The last surviving register, that of 1892-3, lists thirty-four girls but no boys. The school closed in the early years of this century. Baptist ministers frequendy supplemented their income by running private schools. There were at least two such schools in Nottingham­ shire early in the nineteenth century; one at Beeston, conducted by Thomas Rogers, and another at Sutton-in-Ashfield, conducted by Clement N ott.

  • [DOCUMENT TITLE] [Document Subtitle] Robin’S Tales Education Programme Evaluation Executive Summary
    Evaluation Report Gareth Morgan | Hoodwinked Education Coordinator November 2018 [DOCUMENT TITLE] [Document subtitle] Robin’s Tales Education Programme Evaluation Executive Summary Over the course of the summer term (May-July 2018) over 13000 children aged 5-11 in 53 Nottingham City Primary Schools participated in a city-wide arts and literacy programme both in and out of school. This has seen the creation of 56 amazing BookBenches which the schools designed, decorated and incorporated into their curriculum throughout the first half of the term. These BookBenches were then displayed across Nottingham and its neighbourhoods for the second half of the summer term and over the summer holiday break. As part of the programme, the project’s partners also supported and engaged schools, their pupils and staff in a renewed push to create a culture of “reading for pleasure” in their everyday learning. This has been hugely and generously supported by Boots UK, Browne Jacobson, Nottingham City Council Library Service and Education Department, Wild in Art, Nottinghamshire Hospice and others. Key Markers • Over 13000 children Nottingham taking part in designing, decorating and engaging with their school’s BookBench. Almost a quarter of all children in the city. • 1.33% increase in children completing their Summer Reading Challenge city-wide against a national downward trend in participation, and 3487 more children’s books issued in the summer holidays. • 26 schools trained in new literacy approaches by National Literacy Trust; 5 schools trained and taken through their Arts Award by ChalleNGe/The Mighty Creatives. • 5304 individual app “check-ins” at BookBench locations plus thousands more using paper maps or encountering the art-work by chance.
