Wood Green School Sixth Form Information Handbook for Parents & Students Wood Green School Sixth Form Information Handbook for Parents & Students 2014-15 1 Information for Parents and Carers Welcome to our Sixth Form. This booklet supplements the information contained in our Sixth Form prospectus, setting out the framework for a successful parent-school partnership with you. It is our sincere wish that each and every student will take the opportunities offered at Wood Green School Sixth Form and flourish during their two years of study. Tutors Tutors are the key people with pastoral and academic responsibility for students’ progress and will be pleased to receive information, comments or queries from you. If you do have concerns or queries, contact the appropriate tutor, the Assistant Head of Sixth Form, Head of Sixth Form, or the Sixth Form Administrator by phone, e-mail or letter. Contacts are listed at the end of this booklet. Assistant Headteacher/Head of Sixth Form: Mrs C Whiting Head of Years 12 and 13 and Assistant Head of Sixth Form: Mr M Armstrong Sixth Form Administrator: Mrs J Edwards Sixth Form tutors: 12LB Mrs L Bricknell 12DRH Mr D Hunter 12NH Mr N Hamilton 12RJM Mr R Meadows 12JW Dr J Willis 12JS Mrs J Slater Home and School Our policy is to treat students as mature young people and we will speak with them first if any problems arise. Your son/daughter has already signed a Student Agreement stating their intention to fulfill the criteria necessary for their success (see Appendix 1). We communicate formally with parents on a regular basis in order to report on students’ progress. There are also Subject Evenings later in the academic year for parents and students to meet tutors and subject teachers. The dates of these communications may be found in our Sixth Form Calendar within this booklet. Visit our website www.woodgreen.oxon.sch.uk for details about the curriculum, forthcoming events and how to sign up for parent information through INSIGHT and e- communications. 2 The School Day WGS Registration 8.30am daily Times Period 1 Period 2 Period 3 Period 4 Period 5 Period 6 11.05am – 2.50 – WGS 8.45 -9.45am 9.45 – 10.45am 12.05 – 1.05pm 1.50 – 2.50pm 12.05pm 3.50pm WGS 11.05am – 8.45 -9.45am 9.45 – 10.45am 12.45 – 1.45pm 1.45 – 2.45pm (Wed) 12.05pm HBS 11.20am – 3.05 – 8.35 – 9.35am 9.35 – 10.35am 12.20 – 1.20pm 2.05 – 3.05pm 12.20pm 4.05pm HBS 11.20am – 3.05 – 8.35 – 9.35am 9.35 – 10.35am 1.05 – 2.05pm 2.05 – 3.05pm (Wed) 12.20pm 4.05pm Wednesday School ends 1.50pm for most students, however some lessons continue beyond 2.05pm. Punctuality in keeping to these times is very important. We operate a fortnightly timetable, with a Week A and a Week B. The academic year starts with a Week A and subsequent weeks are labeled in sequence. Term Dates 2 September –23 October Term 1 Term 4 23 February – 27 March (Thursday) Term 2 3 November – 19 December Term 5 13 April – 22 May Term 3 6 January – 13 February Term 6 1 June – 17 July In Service Training Days. Students not in School: 1 September, 3 October 2014 and 5 January 2015. Registration and Assembly Tutors need to keep in close touch with their tutees in order to perform their pastoral work effectively. Students too need to know what is going on in the Sixth Form and in the School generally. To enable them to do this, we have registration daily, assembly once a week, and a daily Sixth Form Bulletin which is emailed to students and tutors. 3 Year 12 students must attend registration every morning, unless they start the day with a lesson at The Henry Box School. Year 13 similarly are not required to attend registration on the days where they attend their first lesson at The Henry Box School. Year 13 students who have a whole day without timetabled commitments may study at home on that day, but should first complete a home study form. All Year 12 students must be in school from 8.30am until lunchtime, when they may go home if they have no lessons in the afternoon. Assembly is held once a week, on Mondays for Year 12 and Fridays for Year 13. Attendance The absolutely essential ingredient for success at school is regular attendance. Sixth Form students should attend all their lessons and other timetabled commitments such as lesson attachment. Whatever subjects they are studying, they should attend the Enrichment Programme every Friday Period 1 throughout the year in Year 12. They should also attend the Sixth Form Studies lesson every Monday Period 5 of Week A, and their weekly assembly. Students will also be required to attend individual tutorial interviews with their tutors at regular intervals. Absence There are a number of legitimate reasons for absence including courses and conferences, school or residential trips, open day visits, interviews, hospital appointments and funerals. If students know in advance that they are going to be absent, they must tell their tutor and the relevant subject teachers before their absence If they are unexpectedly absent, usually because of illness, they should make sure that a telephone call is made to School by break time on the first day of absence, with a message for their tutor (and The Henry Box School, if relevant) When they return from a period of absence, students must give a written note to their tutor explaining their absence, normally within 24 hours and not later than 3 days later, written by a parent or carer. It is the student’s responsibility to find out about work s/he has missed and catch up on it. Please refer to the Leave of Absence rules (see Appendix 2). Financial Support There are two types of awards under the Wood Green School 16-19 Bursary Scheme: 1. Statutory Awards to ‘Vulnerable Groups’ A bursary of £1,200 a year is available for students who are: ‘Looked after’ (in care) 4 Care leavers In receipt of Income Support or Universal Credit in their own name. (Universal Credit was phased in during 2013, replacing Income Support and Employment Support Allowance) Disabled and in receipt of Employment Support Allowance, who are also in receipt of Disability Living Allowance (or Personal Independence Payments) in their own name. (Personal Independence Payments were phased in over 2013) 2. Discretionary Awards These are payments made to students whose families are on low incomes, towards, for example: Costs of transport to and from School Contribution towards the cost of meals at School Books and equipment Course-related costs Towards the costs of attending university interviews and open days The Head of Sixth Form is free to determine which students should receive a discretionary bursary and how much they should receive. The Finance and Personnel Manager will assess each student’s need for financial support, before deciding whether to make an award and if so, for how much. Bursaries cannot take the form of regular payments for living costs. No ‘blanket’ or flat- rate discretionary payments can be made. If a student considers that s/he might be eligible to apply for support, s/he should ask for a copy of the Bursary booklet from the Sixth Form Office and apply in writing to Mrs Whiting, Head of Sixth Form. Other sources where subject teachers may apply for financial assistance on the behalf of students are: The Witney Educational Foundation, Registered Charity Number 309645, for educational-related matters OR Witney Town Charity, Registered Charity Number 202996 (for non-educational funding enquiries) The Carterton Educational Trust, for students who come from Carterton. Apply by downloading an application form from www.cartertoneducationaltrust.org.uk. Enquiries should be directed to the Secretary for the Trust, Mrs T Marchant email: [email protected], telephone 01993 841060 5 The Curriculum Students in Year 12 should follow a full programme of academic study, typically four AS Levels, and students in Year 13 will normally study a minimum of three subjects, usually at A2 Level. There is an extra opportunity to take an extra AS Level by doing The Extended Project Qualification and this will be offered after the AS examinations. We also aim to provide many opportunities for students to broaden their experience and understanding, develop their skills, and prepare for the future. Raising Achievement Students may be invited, or may elect to attend, our PIXL Support Group on Wednesday afternoons. This is a supervised study session, where additional targeted work is provided in order to raise achievement. The Enrichment Programme and Sixth Form Studies The Enrichment Programme is a general programme for all students, which takes place every Friday Period 1. It aims to broaden each student’s curriculum and develop critical thinking and communication skills. Topics covered include religious, social, economic, political, cultural and health-related issues and higher education and careers advice. Sixth Form Studies is held on Monday Period 5 in A weeks. The programme covers independent learning skills, communication styles, enterprise, careers and other topics. Attendance on the Enrichment Programme and Sixth Form Studies is compulsory. Community Attachment At the same time, students should be developing their skills and abilities in a variety of ways both in and out of school. In School we offer opportunities such as sports, music, drama, the Yearbook, the School website, Lesson Attachment, Community Attachment, the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, LAMDA Drama Award, Community Sports Leadership Award an opportunity to be a Music or Drama Leader; we encourage all students to be involved in some of these.

Then came the political economy, the knowledge economy, and the information economy. Now, it seems, we have the attention economy. The notion, which goes back to the 1990s, is that nowadays people compete for attention as much as for money or knowledge. According to the pundits, attention has become a currency: it has scarcity value and endless attraction. As with money, only the naïve or incapable (or the truly wise) can resist its lure. In the digital age, to be a winner in the attention economy requires constant tweeting, blogging, and updating one’s status on Facebook; a hugely time-consuming business.

It takes account of proposed Main Modifications to the Local Plan which are the subject of consultation from 11 November until 23 December 2016 and therefore supersedes the previous draft IDP which was published in July 2015. 1.2 By ‘infrastructure’ we mean essential services and facilities such as schools, roads, water, gas and electricity and open space. Typical Infrastructure Types West Oxfordshire Infrastructure Delivery Plan 2016 1 1.3 New development often puts existing infrastructure under pressure, creating a need for new or improved facilities to be provided.
