  • Anti Academies Alliance Submission to the Children, Schools and Families Committee Monday 29Th March
    Anti Academies Alliance submission to the Children, Schools and Families Committee Monday 29th March Academy performance Much is made of the rising success of Academies. In 2009 Ed Balls boasted that the Academies GCSE results that June showed a 5% improvement on 2008. When challenged to produce the results that proved that we were told we had to wait for the official release of the results in January 2010. When the 2009 GCSE results were officially released in January 2010 our analysis of the results showed that while Ed Ball's headline figure may be true, it hid some other disturbing information. 122 Academies entered their pupils for GCSEs in 2009. Of these 74 have now entered pupils for 2 or more years. of these 74, 32% (24 Academies) saw their results fall (appendix A). and 59% (44 Academies) are in the National Challenge (Appendix B). of the 122 Academies which entered their pupils for GCSEs in 2009, 36% are in the national challenge. Selection of Academy Sponsors The government have a new Accreditation procedure. It requires a number of conditions to be met to allow sponsors to be automatically accredited. This includes: “Proposals should demonstrate evidence of strong academic performance, and value added. This might be demonstrated through: Evidence that the percentage of pupils gaining five A*-C including English and maths has improved since opening by at least four percentage points on average for each year it has been open.” of the 74 Academies that have entered pupils for exams for 2 or more years, just 29 would pass this test.

  • DEPUTY DIRECTOR - NORTH United Learning
    DEPUTY DIRECTOR - NORTH United Learning unitedlearning.org.uk WELCOME LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE Thank you very much for expressing interest in becoming a Deputy Director - North with United Learning. United Learning sets out to provide all children and young people with a broad and deep education which prepares them to succeed in life. We were founded 130 years ago to provide education for girls when it was in short supply, and the independent schools which started the Group remain an important part of it today. In the last 15 years, we have become one of the biggest academy groups in the country – still focusing on the original aims of the academy programme – turning around poor schools serving poor communities. As Deputy Director – North, you will have a central role in raising standards in our schools across the north. We are determined to raise attainment and ensure that children make exceptional progress. But we do not want this to be at the expense of a broad education, and are determined that all our schools offer a wide range of opportunities within and outside the classroom, developing character as well as intellect. So we are looking for a leader who shares our strong educational values, who has the highest expectations and who achieves great results but does so by putting children rather than performance indicators first. You will have a track record of success as a leader in secondary education, have the personal energy and confidence to raise standards working through other leaders and be effective in developing others and building teams.

    European Day of Languages Wednesday, 26 September was European Day of Languages and the Primary Phase had a fantastic day celebrating! The European Day of Languages is designed to highlight the importance of language learning, as well as to celebrate linguistic diversity. The Primary Phase has numerous members of staff who are able to speak multiple languages and in Key Stage 2, pupils benefit from a weekly French lesson. The day started with a whole school assembly, led by 5GL, where they showcased their ability to talk about the solar system in French! Later in the day, each class celebrated a different language and culture. Children learned French, Spanish, German, Italian and Polish! They sampled food from the countries and took part in cultural and craft activities. Year 2 especially enjoyed European Day of Languages. They tried polish food, practiced their conversation skills, created paper crafts and sang a traditional Polish celebration song. The children enjoyed the sweet treats but did not enjoy eating polish sauerkraut! It was a wonderful afternoon filled with fun, laughter and learning! The children (and staff!) thoroughly enjoyed themselves and continue to talk about what they learned on European Day of Languages. My thanks to all the staff who worked hard to make it a memorable day for all.
