  • SELF-EVALUATION FORM May 2017 – Summer 2018.V5
    SELF-EVALUATION FORM May 2017 – Summer 2018.V5 Context Our School The Fermain Academy is a 40 place 13-16 AP ‘free school’ with 52 students currently on roll. The school serves students from all over Cheshire East and beyond. All students have come to us through varying struggles in a mainstream school and all have individual needs. Many of these students are at risk of permanent exclusion and some come after being at a PRU. Almost all students have a persistent record of absence from their respective schools and thus have not been diagnosed with a range of additional needs such as Autism, Attachment, Dyslexia or ADHD. FSM ever 6 is currently 86% of our current. 10% of our students are in the care of a local authority. 96% of the cohort are below their expected learning level both on predicted KS2 data and expected progress for their age. 76% of our current cohort of year 11 students will have been with us less than a year when they sit their GCSE exams. The Fermain Academy school prides itself on supporting learners with a wide range of difficulties. All stake holders identified our values as a continuous commitment to the care, support and progress of our students. We work very closely with parents, students and other agencies to meet the needs of individuals. Students make progress in all areas particularly, but not exclusively, with their emotional, social and behavioural skills. The ethos is centred on students developing an intrinsic desire to make progress. Students enjoy attending the academy so their attendance is excellent despite many of them having an adverse history.
