W: www.hetton-school.co.uk E: [email protected] Facebook: Hetton School Twitter: @hettonschool Hetton School, North Road, Hetton-le-Hole, Tyne and Wear DH5 9JZ Telephone: (0191) 562 3322 OUR STUDENTS ARE WELL PRESENTED, WELCOME TO DISPLAY GOOD MANNERS AND DEMONSTRATE COURTESY AND HETTON SCHOOL RESPECT TO OTHERS Thank you for your interest in Hetton School. Our aim is to improve the life chances of all young people in our community. We do this by delivering high quality learning experiences both in and outside the classroom. Students at Hetton learn in a school environment with superb facilities; dedicated, caring staff; and through a highly personalised curriculum designed to allow everyone to achieve high standards. Our students are well presented, display good manners and demonstrate courtesy and respect to others. We work hard to develop their aspiration and ambition through a growth mind-set philosophy we call Learn to Achieve. Hetton School is committed to providing high quality education for young people between the ages of 11 and 16. We focus on developing the whole child academically and pastorally. Craig Knowles Headteacher STUDENTS AT HETTON LEARN IN A SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT WITH SUPERB FACILITIES AND DEDICATED, CARING STAFF 2 3 OUR GOAL IS TO BUILD A GROWTH MIND-SET IN OUR STUDENTS AND AVOID THE FIXED MIND-SET THAT CAN TRAP THEM ON A PLATEAU, CAUSING LEARN TO ACHIEVE THEM TO FALL SHORT OF THEIR POTENTIAL Our goal is to build a growth mind-set in our students and avoid the fixed mind-set that can trap them on a plateau, causing them to fall short of their potential. What is Learn to Achieve? • A belief that we can all improve – that ability is not fixed. • Embracing challenge – because it makes us stronger. • Showing resilience – sticking in when the going gets tough. • Welcome mistakes – learning from them is the way we grow and achieve success. • Giving 100% effort – this will always prevail over talent alone in the long-term. • Seek out and learn from feedback – learning from those that know or have experience. • Find inspiration in the success of others – achievement is not competitive, it is complementary. We aim to prevent: • A student thinking they are ‘clever’ or ‘talented’ which can lead to coasting. This can lead to a slow-down of academic progress, often manifested as a lack of effort or challenging themselves. • A student thinking that if they work hard they will do well, even as learning becomes more complex. It is no good working hard at the wrong thing. 4 5 WE HAVE a WELL-FOUNDED PASTORAL CARE REPutation as a We have a well-founded reputation as a school that cares for its students. school that We are very proud of this good reputation and work hard to support cares for its young people and families. Our pastoral care is based on a Year system with talented, dedicated students professionals leading teams of tutors. All students belong to a tutor group. Some groups are mixed ability with some specialising in certain subject areas such as Maths, English, Science or MFL. Almost all subject teaching is delivered by setting on ability/progress which is then flexible throughout the year. WE expect every student to challenge themselves to be the best they can be HIGH EXPECTATIONS At Hetton we hold high expectations for all students. This applies to standards of uniform, behaviour, attitude to learning and respect for others. We expect every student to challenge themselves to be the best they can be, and ensure the right opportunities are in place to facilitate and drive their aspirations. 6 7 OUR CURRICULUM HAS BEEN SKILFULLY ADAPTED TO THE NEEDS AND INTERESTS OF THE STUDENTS A CURRICULUM TO CHALLENGE AND INSPIRE Our curriculum has been skilfully adapted to the needs and interests of the students and this has helped to widen the range of subjects in which students do well. There is a wide array of clubs and visits, and the students value the opportunities they are offered. The sporting academies in cricket, football, rugby and dance all provide yet further opportunity to work with professional coaches alongside the rigorous academic curriculum. The international visit opportunities are inspirational, with visits offered including Cambodia, China, Costa Rica, Tanzania, Madrid, New York and Paris. Hetton has productive links with all local post-16 providers including Durham Sixth Form, New College Durham, Sunderland College and Durham Johnston Sixth Form. The school works hard to ensure students are prepared for this important post-16 decision with our award-winning careers programme. This includes strong links with apprenticeship providers and universities such as Newcastle, Durham and Cambridge. 8 9 at hetton school we celebrate students who embody our WOW! learn to achieve philosophy At Hetton School we celebrate students who embody our Learn to Achieve philosophy.

We work closely with coaches from Durham Cricket Board and local clubs Hetton Lyons and Eppleton in our cricket academy. It is not just cricket where sporting success occurs for Hetton. Boys’ and girls’ football has had some high profile success leading to the start of our football academy, in association with Sunderland Foundation of Light.

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.
