Executive Summary Oasis Community Learning (OCL) proposed to open Oasis Academy Leesbrook a new secondary school for the East of Oldham and the surrounding area. Under the Academies Act 2010, in advance of opening any proposed new school there must be a consultation period for local stakeholders. OCL undertook a 6 week consultation in accordance with the statutory requirements from 11th September 2017 to the 23rd October 2017. The consultation sought views on key aspects of plans including, vision and values of the new school, an extended school day, community use of the school and whether the Secretary of State should sign a funding agreement with OCL. The consultation was underpinned by an ongoing commitment to meaningfully and inclusively engage the local community in developing and refining our plans. There were 35 responses to the consultation survey in total, the overwhelming majority of them supportive of the proposals to open Oasis Academy Leesbrook and for OCL to enter into a funding agreement with the Secretary of State. On the basis of the response to the consultation OCL wish to enter into a funding agreement with the Secretary of State and will continue the open dialogue with local stakeholders so that they are involved in shaping our plans for Oasis Academy Leesbrook. 2. Introduction Due to a basic need identified by Oldham City Council and the Department for Education (DfE) for a new secondary school in the area of East Oldham, OCL put forward the proposal of a new 10 form of entry all-inclusive community secondary school with a strong academic focus. The planned opening date is September 2018 with a Published Admissions Number (PAN) of 120 Year 8’s and 150 Year 7’s. Our PAN will stay at 150 until September 2020 when we will move into our permanent new building where we will increase the PAN up to 300. There is a real need for a new secondary school in the East Oldham area to increase capacity for a growing population but also for parental choice. Currently in excess of 5,304 pupils within a three mile radius of this post code-OL1 3HA are educated in schools judged to be Requiring Improvement or Inadequate. Although there are schools judged to be Good or Outstanding of the 15,816 secondary places within the three mile radius, 4,967 places are at schools with an admissions criteria based on faith. Therefore, Oasis Academy Leesbrook will fill this gap by providing a rigorous outstanding academic education with a fully inclusive admissions criteria. 3 3. Vision and Ethos Our vision for Oasis Academy Leesbrook is that it will be a school where all young people will receive a personalised educational experience. Students’ academic skills, habits and personalities will be developed allowing them to successfully progress to work or further education, whilst making a positive contribution to our community. We will prepare our students to be future local, national and global leaders who the community will look upon with pride and admiration. Our curriculum, or planned activities to develop growth and learning as well as enriching beyond the classroom, includes a rich experience where students will study both national curriculum ‘traditional’ subjects along with a discreet curriculum that develops the attitudes and values that we expect from everybody within the Academy. Personalised experience - The curriculum will be designed to meet the individual needs of our students and prepare them for their future education and careers. Strong Academic focus - There will be a strong focus on reading, writing and mathematics to ensure that students are able to access the curriculum fully. There will be support for students who have English as an additional language, along with a comprehensive programme of development and challenge for the most able readers, writers and mathematicians. Cultural Offer - The extended day and enrichment curriculum will cover aspects of life such as oracy skills, creating regular opportunities for public speaking in front of classes, assemblies and staff meetings. This will allow students to develop confidence and proficiency in this area. Character Education - The ‘Oasis 7’ will be the foundation on which our character education is devised. Every year, every child at Oasis Academy Leesbrook will have the opportunity to: 1. Visit a Russell group University 2. Attend a residential trip, having the opportunity to visit one of our Oasis global partners 3. Give back to a local, national or global community 4. Compete against the very best, in athletics, maths challenges, science fairs and music competitions 5. Visit cities around the UK 6. Learn about a variety of careers 7. Participate in local and national politics DEAR-Drop Everything And Read - Every morning will start with ‘Drop Everything And Read’ (DEAR), where students will read journal articles, classical texts and current affairs articles to stretch and develop their influence skills, vocabulary, comprehension and critical thinking. Family Dining - The Academy will operate a family dining approach to lunches where students will sit together in tables and eat together as a family – promoting conversation and interaction. 4 4. Engagement prior to formal consultation Prior to entering the pre-opening phase, Oasis Community Learning set up a Facebook page called ‘Oasis Free School’ we used our Twitter page for Oasis Academy Oldham to raise awareness of this page. A screen shot of the page is shown in Appendix 1. Overall the page was viewed by 8,013 people, of these 209 engaged with the page via comments and posts. In addition to this 105 people ‘liked’ this page indicating support for our proposal and 104 people follow this page. In April 2017 when the DfE approved our bid to open this new secondary school in Oldham, OCL issued a press release announcing this news. This article was published by the Oldham Chronicle on 18th April 2017 under the headline ‘New Free School plan approved’. Unfortunately due to the Oldham Chronicle no longer being in existence we are unable to display this article. This announcement was also displayed on Oasis Academy Oldham and Oasis Community Learning’s websites please see Appendix 2 for a copy of this. In July 2017, a site just off Roxbury Avenue, OL4 5JE owned by Oldham Council, that the Education Skills and Funding Agency (ESFA) had been looking at as potential site for the new school, was approved by Oldham Council cabinet members. A press release announcing this update was published in Oldham Chronicle on the 11th July 2017 under the headline ‘Free School site revealed’ and in the Manchester Evening News on the 19th July 2017, please see Appendix 3 for a copy and link to this article. Prior to the consultation period beginning a webpage was created for Oasis Academy Leesbrook as well as a Twitter page @OasisLeesbrook and a Facebook page. Please see Appendix 4 for links to these pages. OCL are also working very closely with Oldham City Council and we developed our admissions policy with them and the DfE. In addition, we have a services agreement with Oldham Council that they will administer our admissions process and we feature on their admissions website and they will managed our applications. Please see Appendix 5 for a link to this. The project has also received strong support from parents and staff of Oasis Academy Oldham and Oasis Academy Limeside, which are two established schools OCL already run in Oldham area. 5. Consultation methodology In designing our statutory consultation, we reviewed our previous approaches for the other free schools we have opened as well as a range of other free schools and the New School Network’s good practice guidance to inform our plans. We developed a short survey design to give stakeholders a flavour of our proposal and an opportunity for them to express their views on our proposal. The survey consisted of the following questions: Their distance from the proposed school site The connection they would have with Oasis Academy Leesbrook 5 Their opinion on our proposal for an extended school day Their opinion on our ethos and attitude of inclusion, a ‘can do’ culture, discipline and hard work. If they were a parent/ carer were they considering Oasis Academy Leesbrook for their child/ children The community activities they would like to see provided. If they were interested in becoming an Academy Councillor. Whether they think OCL should enter into a funding agreement with the Secretary of the State. Most of the questions contained free text boxes, to enable respondents to comment openly on the question. The only question which had a fixed answer was the last one-‘Do you think Oasis should enter into a Funding Agreement with the Secretary of State?’. As this is a crucial question and the foundation of the consultation we needed an easily readable answer so offered two options ‘yes’ and ‘no’. A copy of the Survey is included in Appendix 6. An Information Booklet and background text on the website was produced to accompany the survey in order to provide respondents with sufficient information to answer the questions on an informed way. They survey was created on Survey Monkey and a live link was shown on our webpage as well as Twitter and Facebook. This same survey was then printed and distributed at the Consultation meeting, community visits and for those who preferred to see a hard copy or didn’t have internet access.

  • Secondary School and Sixth Form Performance PDF
    Report to OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY PERFORMANCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY SELECT COMMITTEE Secondary school and sixth form performance Portfolio Holder: Cllr Shaid Mushtaq, Cabinet Member for Education & Early Years Officer Contact: Richard Lynch, Director of Education, Skills & Early Years Report Author: Tony Shepherd, Head of Learning 12 March 2020 Purpose of the Report The purpose of this report is to provide Elected Members with a review of secondary school and sixth form performance. Executive Summary In 2020 the pandemic caused the closure of schools and cancellation of examinations. Students were awarded their centre assessment grade or calculated grade, whichever was higher. This increased grades and meant that results for 2020 could not be directly compared to other years. In addition, performance data is not available at the school level, making 2020 analysis very limited. This paper provides a performance overview by summarising 2020 published data and reflecting on trends in 2017-2019 published data. In 2020, GCSE and A’ level outcomes for Oldham pupils were below national averages and the gaps between Oldham and national averages were wider than previously. The trends from 2017 to 2019 show a widening gap between GCSE and A’ level outcomes in Oldham and those nationally. Recommendations To note the report and actions planned to address areas of under-performance. Overview and Scrutiny Board Tuesday, 2 March 2021 Secondary school and sixth form performance 1 Background 1.1 This paper provides an update to the Overview and Scrutiny Board on secondary school and sixth form performance in Oldham. 1.2 Performance of pupils in exams are generally norm-referenced, so a similar proportion of grades are awarded each year.

    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.
