  • Secondary School and Academy Admissions
    Secondary School and Academy Admissions INFORMATION BOOKLET 2021/2022 For children born between 1st September 2009 and 31st August 2010 Page 1 Schools Information Admission number and previous applications This is the total number of pupils that the school can admit into Year 7. We have also included the total number of pupils in the school so you can gauge its size. You’ll see how oversubscribed a school is by how many parents had named a school as one of their five preferences on their application form and how many of these had placed it as their first preference. Catchment area Some comprehensive schools have a catchment area consisting of parishes, district or county boundaries. Some schools will give priority for admission to those children living within their catchment area. If you live in Gloucestershire and are over 3 miles from your child’s catchment school they may be entitled to school transport provided by the Local Authority. Oversubscription criteria If a school receives more preferences than places available, the admission authority will place all children in the order in which they could be considered for a place. This will strictly follow the priority order of their oversubscription criteria. Please follow the below link to find the statistics for how many pupils were allocated under the admissions criteria for each school - https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/education-and-learning/school-admissions-scheme-criteria- and-protocol/allocation-day-statistics-for-gloucestershire-schools/. We can’t guarantee your child will be offered one of their preferred schools, but they will have a stronger chance if they meet higher priorities in the criteria.

  • Outreach Residential Activities
    Outreach Residential Activities 2017/18 2017/18 RESIDENTIAL ACTIVITY REPORT: 16 DECEMBER 2018 University of Gloucestershire Widening Participation and Outreach - Data & Evaluation Officer, Partnerships Manager 1 Residential Report Outreach and Widening Participation Team, University of Gloucestershire Each year, the Outreach team organises and delivers two separate Residential Events for Year 10 and Year 12 students with the intention of providing an intensive experience on a university campus. The residential activities aim to build higher education (HE) knowledge to enable young people to make an informed decision about their future. Students are provided with an opportunity to learn more about the subjects that are available and the processes required to apply for HE. It is hoped that students will increase their self-confidence in their ability to attend higher education and develop a sense of belonging at university, as well as reduce barriers to participate in higher education. Both residentials take place over a four day period, with the first day allowing time and space for students to settle in and socialise with each other and the summer school staff. Student Ambassadors live residentially for the duration of each summer school, supporting the running of the events and providing their own insights into university life and their routes to higher education. Students who attend the Year 10 residential take part in a wider range of academic taster sessions while Year 12 students choose a subject strand to follow. This is so that they can try a range of courses within an Academic School to provide more insight into which course they might choose to study in the future.

ENTRANCE TEST INFORMATION The Entrance Test comprises two papers of approximately 45-50 minutes in length (with additional time for instructions and some worked examples), sat on the same day with a short break between. The answers are completed on separate answer sheets which are electronically marked by an independent company appointed by Gloucestershire Grammar Schools.

The test is used to test the ability of students who wish to attend one of the 7 grammar schools in Gloucestershire. It is used for this purpose alone and therefore is not a diagnostic tool.

    www.archwayschool.net Archway News Issue No 23 July 2016 July 2016 Dear Parents / Carers It is my pleasure to send you our end of term Newsletter highlighting some of the activities in which students have been involved. We enjoyed tremendous performances on the field last week in Sports Day and look forward to our Summer Concert and Art Exhibition this week, and Sports Awards Evening next week. We celebrated with Year 11 at their Prom at Cattle Country last week and are looking forward to the Sixth Form Prom at Stonehouse Court Hotel later this week. Next week also sees Year 10 out on work experience—we are grateful to those who have assisted in offering them placements. Archway has a long history of success stories; we are very proud of the achievements of former students who have gone on to make many contributions to their communities and to society. We would like to share their successes with current students and establish a ‘Celebrating Archway’ Facebook page. If you have details of where former students are now and how they are doing, we would be grateful if you would let Elaine Coley, Head of Key Stage 4, know. She can be contacted via email: [email protected] The end of the year is often a time when we say goodbye and good luck to staff who are leaving us. Mr Hill leaves us to become Head of Faculty at Gordano School, Mrs Bolton takes up a promotion at Gloucester Academy, Miss Williams moves to an academy in Arrow Vale, and Mr Donegan is relocating to Northern Ireland.
