Granville Academy News Principal's Message July 2019 Granville Academy News Principal ’s Message : Dear Parents and Carers As the summer term draws to a close, we look back on another year at Granville and all that has hap- pened. Our £8.8 million rebuild is well underway and the new sports hall is really taking shape. Our year 7 intake for September is over-subscribed and we have a waiting list for places. The school roll will have risen from just over 500 pupils in 2015 to almost 800 in 2019! At the end of term, we will be saying goodbye to a small number of staff. Mr Taylor (Maths) will be leaving us to take up a post at John Taylor High School and Miss Rhodes (MFL) will be leaving us to return to Long Eaton school. Mrs Brassington (Support and Guidance) will be taking up a new role as a Learning Mentor at Belmont Primary School. We say a huge thank you to them for all their hard work, loyalty and commitment to the school. We also wish “bon voyage” to Mrs Garvey (English|) who is taking a sabbatical for a year and intends to travel and undertake some voluntary work oversees. We wish her a safe and fantastic journey. From September, we welcome the following new staff: Erika Harris (English) Usman Asif (English) Sonia Dos Santos (Maths) Paul Marshall (ICT) Hollie McIlhone (Academic Mentor) We look forwards to our GCSE Results Day on August 22nd and hope our year 11 students are justly rewarded for their efforts. Have a great Summer. I look forwards to seeing the pupils on Tuesday 3rd September 2019. July 2019 Granville Academy News Introducing the New Head Boy and Head Girl Hello. My name is Caitlyn and I am your new Head Girl. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I was originally born in Scotland but have lived in Woodville since I was two years old. My favourite subject at school is science which is a good thing because when I am older I would like to become a vet. I also really enjoy drama and outside of school I have undertaken five drama exams, achieving either a merit or distinction in them. I am also a keen photographer and I am a keen baker, helping my Brownies with cake sales in order to raise money for charity. As well as this, I love horse riding and in particular, show jumping. Finally, I have completed my Bronze Duke of Edinburgh award, and as part of this I started volunteering as a young leader with the cubs. As Head Girl, I hope you will find me approachable and feel able to come to me with any problems. I am really looking forward to taking on this role in the new school year. Hello, I am your new Head Boy, Harry. I want to let you know that I will do my best to support and represent each and every one of you to the best of my ability. My personal interests include martial arts, in which I have a black belt. My study of the fighting arts has taught me how to treat people with respect and how to remain calm under pressure — but I have to admit that am really excited about becoming your new Head Boy. I am particularly looking forward to the public speaking side of the role, as I am keen to develop this skill. My ambition is to become a detective in the police, and I have already started on the path to making that a reality by joining Leicestershire police cadets. I see the role of a police officer as a caring one, and believe that the role of Head Boy is similar. I promise I will do my best to make the time to listen to everyone, so please stop me for a chat if you want me to raise an issue on your behalf. July 2019 Granville Academy News Uniform Reminders As the Summer and good weather approaches, please remember some of our uniform requirements to ensure your child does not fall foul of our rules!

Congratulations to them both! July 2019 Granville Academy News Vive La France! In June, a group of Year 8 students sailed across the channel to get a taste of life in France. For many, this was their first experience of going away without their families and they were determined to make the most of it. The first day began early, with teachers and students meeting at school at 6.30am.There were yawns aplenty, but in spite of the early start everyone seemed eager to be away. The first leg of the journey was by coach to Dover, where the group boarded a ferry and was soon on its way to the continent. The crossing was smooth and uneventful, and “No, that’s starboard”! The white cliffs. No the group quickly made landfall and began the last leg of bluebirds, though. the journey to the Hotel du Moulin aux Drapes, in Desvres, Northern France. The hotel was well-appointed, and the students were soon settled into their rooms and ready to commence activities with Quentin, a local “animateur”, whose job it was to entertain and educate them. A golden rule at the hotel was that everyone had to speak French, and this encouraged our students to become immersed in the language. To their credit, everyone gave it a go! Winston, the French dog. The Hotel du Moulin aux Drapes July 2019 Granville Academy News Part Deux The following day saw our intrepid bunch visit a local school, where they took part in several lessons alongside their French counterparts.

  • 2019-11 Schools Block Funding
    Agenda Item 3 Rep 786 DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL SCHOOLS FORUM 26th November 2019 Report of the Executive Director for Children’s Services School Block Funding 2020-21 1. Purpose of the Report To inform the Schools Forum of the provisional schools block settlement for 2020-21 and potential implications for Derbyshire. 2. Information and Analysis As part of the government’s Spending Round 2019, the Chancellor of the Exchequer confirmed to Parliament that funding for schools and high needs will, compared to 2019- 20, rise by £2.6 billion for 2020-21, £4.8 billion for 2021-22, and £7.1 billion for 2022-23. On 11th October 2019 the DfE released provisional DSG funding levels for 2020-21 for each LA. Final allocations will be published in December to reflect the October 2019 pupil census. This paper focusses on the schools block, papers for the other blocks are covered elsewhere on tonight’s agenda. 2.1 Schools Block increase The government have announced the mainstream National Funding Formula (NFF) multipliers for 2020-21. Details of the current and new values are shown in Appendix 1. These increased multipliers feed directly into the calculation of the 2020-21 Schools Block budgets for each LA. By way of background, the provisional LA-level Schools Block for each sector is derived as a unit rate (Primary/Secondary Unit of Funding (PUF/SUF)) multiplied by the October 2018 pupil census. The PUF/SUF values have been derived by calculating schools’ NFF budgets for 2019-20, summing the individual amounts and dividing the aggregate total by the October 2018 pupil count.

  • 5 September 2018 Dear Parent/Carer It Is My Pleasure and Privilege to Write to You As the Recently Appointed Chief Executive
    5 September 2018 Dear Parent/Carer It is my pleasure and privilege to write to you as the recently appointed Chief Executive Officer of The de Ferrers Trust. As my first full term overseeing the Trust begins, I write to you with the exciting news that we have another school joining the de Ferrers family of schools – Richard Wakefield Church of England Primary Academy. Richard Wakefield Primary is a lovely school based in Tutbury. Children who left the school to begin their secondary education this month performed well in their end of year tests. Much credit goes to them and all the staff who have worked with them. I have really enjoyed my visits to the school so far and they are a most welcome addition to the Trust. In fact, I have really enjoyed visiting and working with all of the schools. This now means that there are seven schools in the Trust, educating approximately 5000 children and employing 600 members of staff. The other schools, ordered by the number of pupils there, are: The de Ferrers Academy, Burton-on-Trent (11-18) The Pingle Academy, Swadlincote (11-18) Granville Academy, Woodville (11-16) Lansdowne Infant Academy, Burton-on-Trent (3-7) Horninglow Primary Academy, Burton-on-Trent (3-11) Eton Park Junior Academy, Burton-on-Trent (7-11) The main educational advantage for schools of being in a Trust is that it should make learning from and supporting each other much easier. I am determined that this will happen and I, central Trust staff, the Principals and their members of staff are already making improvements in this regard.
