Keeping in Touch with the AAT Info@Albanacademiestrust.Org.Uk NEWSLETTER AUTUMN TERM 2019 ISSUE 003 Keeping in Touch with the AAT www.albanacademiestrust.org.uk [email protected] NEWSLETTER AUTUMN TERM 2019 ISSUE 003 WELCOME Welcome to the Autumn edition of our AAT Newsletter and I hope you find it interesting and useful in keeping up to date with the activities across all of our schools. It is not possible to cover everything that takes place and for this edition we have organised items under headings rather than by school. The most important news is to welcome Sarah Mitcherson to the AAT as the new headteacher at Ridgeway Academy. She takes over from Jed Whelan who has retired following a lengthy and highly distinguished time in education. Jed did an amazing job overseeing the start of Ridgeway Academy and leading it through its first year. Not only did we see a significant improvement in examination results, but the learning environment was transformed and the popularity of the school in its local community leapt from being under subscribed to being full after year 1. Sarah is very familiar with the community having worked at Sir Frederic Osborn School as a senior leader before moving on to a school in Luton. We are delighted that she has returned and wish her every success. We have been preparing for Wheatfields Junior and Wheatfields Infants’ and Nursery Schools to join the trust and most of the work is now complete. Bringing the primary phase into the trust and widening our horizons is a very exciting development and we look forward to welcoming the new members in 2020. Alan Gray, CEO Sharing Educational Excellence STAFF/WORKING TOGETHER Peer Review On 23rd and 24th October, a team of middle and senior leaders from Ridgeway and Sandringham schools completed the first Alban Academies Trust peer review of Verulam School. The peer review process is built around a professionally led review focused on teaching and learning. The peer review identifies areas for development, bringing key challenges to schools within the AAT for the coming year. It is a joint exercise between the review team and the school; this approach enables open and honest conversations about where the school is and where it is going, to the benefit of all concerned. Our aim is to complete a peer review of each AAT school annually. It is fair to say that the experience was a mutually beneficial one for both Verulam staff and the peer review team, not least because of the professional and warm welcome offered by Verulam School and the openness with which the staff there embraced the whole process. Thanks go to the senior leadership team, and especially Mark Freakley (Deputy Headteacher) who gave freely of their time and supported the logistics of the days and all staff at Verulam who welcomed the team into their classrooms. Below are some reflections from the peer review team and Mark Freakley on the process. As a middle leader, being a part of the peer review team was an amazing CPD opportunity: all the staff were incredibly welcoming and I learnt a great deal. Identifying the key lines of enquiry and being able to share our findings was a valuable experience which I believe future peer review schools will be able to embrace and use as qualitative feedback to help move their school’s development priorities forward. Having been involved, I am now looking forward to the peer review process taking place at our school. Sarah Merrigan Subject Lead for Business Studies and Head of Sixth Form Ridgeway Academy It was a great opportunity to be part of the AAT Peer Review visit to Verulam in October 2019. Such processes can cause additional work and stress for the schools involved but our aim was that the two days modelled a positive approach to support school self-improvement. None of the team were trained inspectors and there was no intention to replicate a visit from Ofsted; instead the aim was very much to use our professional experience to investigate lines of enquiry agreed in consultation with the school. It was a very positive experience to visit so many classrooms and talk to staff and students across the school about their work. I can see how future peer review visits will both build on the expertise across the AAT and provide further opportunities for collaborative working. Mark Nicholls Deputy Headteacher Sandringham School Sharing Educational Excellence STAFF/WORKING TOGETHER The peer review was a fantastic opportunity for colleagues across the three schools to spend two days taking part in lesson and form time visits and learning walks which covered every year group and every subject in Verulam School. Each visit was completed jointly with senior leaders from Verulam and a member of the peer review team; this led to excellent discussions, sharing of good practice and a monitoring of Verulam’s School development plan. Teaching and learning, assessment, engagement and behaviour were all part of the review and the feedback from this have been used by Verulam to revisit targets and action plans and as a tool to improve practice. The peer review was a superb tool to prepare for the new Ofsted framework in a supportive and reflective way and also has significant professional development opportunities for the staff involved. Mark Freakley Deputy Headteacher Verulam School The opportunity to be welcomed into a colleague's school is a wonderful experience and one which is made all the greater by a warm welcome, a supportive leadership team and the chance to visit a variety of lessons and to see students working so hard. The peer review experience was beneficial for Verulam in that it allowed staff at the school to share good practice and reflect on their approaches but it was also excellent personal CPD and allowed me to reflect on practice and policy within my own school. I have a renewed sense of purpose after spending two days at Verulam school and have embedded examples of great practice that I saw there, specifically ‘silent starters’, into my own department back at Ridgeway Academy. Lucy Hyde Assistant Headteacher and English and Literacy Subject Lead Ridgeway Academy When we first met as a team we were all adamant that we wanted to reflect the name ‘peer review’ and not be seen or behave as an unofficial Ofsted. Our initial focus was how we could support and help to develop Verulam as part of the AAT and how some fresh eyes could perceive strengths and suggest areas of development. What I did not fully contemplate is how having time away from my own faculty allowed me to reflect on what we were doing well at Sandringham, but also how we could improve and how we might implement some of the strategies I saw. Furthermore, it was not until after the two days that I stopped to reflect on a personal level, as to how I had benefitted from the experience and in what direction my next career steps might be. The peer review process is underpinned by collaborative approach which is supportive and not critical, therefore I would welcome colleagues into Sandringham for a similar process and would value their feedback on our approaches and practice. Sam Head Director of Science Sandringham School Sharing Educational Excellence RESULTS Verulam School—Examination Success I would like to congratulate students on their success in GCSE and A-Level examinations this summer. Verulam pupils surpassed their targets this year and achieved a predicted Progress 8 score of + 0.238 meaning that on average they achieved nearly half a grade higher than boys nationally in 2018. (Boys national Progress 8 Score 2018 -0.25) John Tromans, Head of Year 11, congratulated all the boys on their impressive results and was particularly pleased with strong results in a wide range of subjects. “I am delighted with our haul of 67 Level 9 grades – these really show how hard our boys have worked.” Head of English, Phyllis Avery, was delighted by Year 10 pupils who sat their GCSE English Literature examination a year early and achieved an 88% pass rate at level 4 or above and with a third of pupils achieving the highest 7 to 9 grades. A number of pupils’ performance was particularly impressive as they achieved a grade 3 or 4 levels higher than their targets. A–Level results were positive with 40% of grades at A/B level which enabled pupils to gain prestigious University places and apprenticeships. 83% of the year group moved onto university study with over 40% of places at top universities. Other students are pursuing apprenticeships, travelling abroad and training as a journalist and a pilot! Paul Ramsey—Headteacher Ridgeway GCSE Results 2019 Ridgeway Academy is reporting their first set of GCSE results and the school is delighted with the achievements of its students, especially in English and Maths. Excitement was in the air as the students collected their results and there were lots of happy faces as the students opened their results envelopes. We are so pleased that our results reflect some outstanding performances by our students and as well as acknowledging those results, we would like to celebrate the many success stories of all the individuals who have worked incredibly hard to achieve what may appear to be relatively modest grades by comparison, but which actually represent phenomenal progress. We would also like to praise the work of the primary school teachers who laid the foundations for the achievements of our students.” Sharing Educational Excellence RESULTS Sandringham School—Examination Success The summer examination results were outstanding once again. At GCSE, 90% of students achieved a level 4 or above in English and Mathematics and 76% a level 5 and above.

Students will be admitted at the age of 11+ without reference to ability of aptitude using the criteria below. The main principle of admission to Ridgeway Academy is to maintain the character of the school as a mixed comprehensive, providing for the needs of young persons who live in Welwyn Garden City and the surrounding area. The school will endeavor to allocate places to students whose parents wish them to attend Ridgeway Academy, provided they can be accommodated within the school’s admission limits on student numbers. There can be no guarantee that such a place will be available. The published admission number (PAN) for Year 7 for September 2021 will be 180. If the school receives more applications than it has places available, places will be allocated under the oversubscription criteria rules in section 2. These will be applied in the order in which they are printed below. A panel from the Governors’ Admissions Committee may be formed to determine whether evidence provided meets the relevant criteria. Children with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan that names the school must be admitted and will count towards the admission numbers. Section 2 – Oversubscription criteria (see section 3 for explanatory notes) Rule 1: Children looked after and children who were previously looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order).

DESCRIPTORS Access to Education; *Admission Criteria; *Admission (School); Case Studies; Educational Change; Educational Discrimination; Educational Policy; Foreign Countries; Free Enterprise System; *School Choice; Secondary Education IDENTIFIERS England; *Local Education Authorities (United Kingdom); Reform Efforts; Wales ABSTRACT This paper presents four case studies that are part of a larger study on admissions arrangements and impacts on school admissions for all local education authorities (LEAs) in England and Wales. It examines factors influencing the social composition of schools. A total of 23 LEAs completed interviews about their secondary school admissions arrangements The four case study LEAs have significantly different market scenarios. Results show that recent national education policy has not been evenly implemented across LEAs. A combination of organizational, structural, and demographic factors have muted much of the potential impact of school reforms on school admissions. Normative patterns of school use have not been substantially affected by the market reforms or the administrative actions of LEAs. LEAs remain important arenas within which school choice operates because they define kinds of choice available to parents in their administrative boundaries.

  • Ridgeway Academy Admissions Policy and Arrangements for 2018/2019
    Ridgeway Academy admissions policy and arrangements for 2018/2019 The school has a PAN of 215 Section 324 of the Education Act 1996 requires the governing bodies of all maintained schools to admit a child with a statement of special educational needs that names their school. Schools must also admit children with an EHC (Education, Health and Care) Plan that names the school. If there are fewer applications than places available at this school all applicants will be admitted. If there are more applications than places available, the criteria outlined below will be used to prioritise applications. Oversubscription criteria Rule 1: Children looked after and children who were previously looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order)*. Rule 2: Medical or Social Children for whom it can be demonstrated that they have a particular medical or social need to go to the school*. A panel of officers will determine whether the evidence provided is sufficiently compelling to meet the requirements for this rule. The evidence must relate specifically to the school applied for under Rule 2 and must clearly demonstrate why it is the only school that can meet the child’s needs. Rule 3: Sibling Children who have a sibling at the school at the time of application, unless the sibling is in the last year of the normal age-range of the school*. Note: the ‘normal age range’ is the designated range for which the school provides, for example Years 7 to 11 in an 11-16 secondary school, Years 7 to 13 in an 11-18 school.

Deputy Headteacher: Mark Nicholls, BA (Hons) The Ridgeway St Albans Hertfordshire AL4 9NX Letter No: 113/2021 t: 01727 799560 [email protected] 19 April 2021 www.sandringham.herts.sch.uk Dear Parents/Carers Re: Arrangements for the End of Year 11 and Year 13 Courses You will be aware of the Department for Education’s decision about the awarding of this summer’s GCSE and A level grades. Following the cancellation of public exams, this year’s grades will be generated by teacher assessment based on evidence. However, it is important to note that, in line with official guidance, each school will administer a rigorous system of moderation and quality assurance. This will include STASSH schools working together to facilitate the moderation process. Schools need to submit grades to the exam boards by 18 June 2021 and this date, therefore informs the decision about ‘leaving dates’ for Year 11 and Year 13 students. All schools in our STASSH group have agreed that these students will complete their studies at the May half term break, with the last day in school being the 28 May 2021; each school will have its own particular arrangements for each year group. However we would like to build in a cushion between the last day of school and the submission of exam grades. This may be useful if an individual student has missed an earlier assessment task and would provide an opportunity for that student to catch up.
