  • Candidate Information Pack
    Candidate Information Pack WELCOME Advance Learning Partnership is a not-for-profit Multi Academy Trust consisting of a mix of primary and secondary academies. We have developed our educational blueprint from the original school at Parkside Academy and used this to enhance the education provision in all of our schools, having a transformational effect on children’s life chances. All academies within our Trust collaborate as a ‘family of schools’. The trust as a whole is not a separate body or group of people, but rather one single organisation made up of all our academies with one single vision and shared set of values. We work together to ensure that all children, irrespective of their starting point, receive an excellent education. We pride ourselves in meeting the needs of the children in our care, including those who are most vulnerable or challenging. These groups of students are a major priority and we work closely with parents/carers in helping to raise their child’s self-esteem, resilience and subsequent achievement and attainment.

  • Wolsingham School & Sixth Form
    Cabinet 13 March 2019 Review of School Provision – Wolsingham School & Sixth Form: Future options for education in the Weardale community Key Decision No. CYPS/03/2018 Report of Corporate Management Team Margaret Whellans, Corporate Director of Children and Young People’s Services Councillor Olwyn Gunn, Portfolio Holder for Children and Young People’s Services John Hewitt, Corporate Director of Resources Councillor Alan Napier, Portfolio Holder for Finance Electoral division(s) affected: Weardale, Tow Law Purpose of the Report 1 This report provides Cabinet with details of the work that has been undertaken as part of the review of education provision in County Durham which was agreed by Cabinet on 15 November 2017. 2 The report makes recommendations in relation to Wolsingham School and Sixth Form, which could affect other schools and education provision in general in the wider Weardale area. Executive summary 3 Wolsingham School is a relatively small secondary school in rural Weardale. The report outlines the funding challenges that all schools face which are particularly pronounced for schools in rural settings which have fewer than 600 pupils (the Department for Education threshold for viability), which would include Wolsingham School. 4 The school was refurbished in 2016 at a cost of £7.4 million to remove the split-site and to address significant condition issues, which had been exacerbated by the delay and ultimate withdrawal of the Building Schools for the Future Programme. The school currently has an estimated deficit balance at 31/3/19 of £1.7m 5 While pupil numbers are increasing (with the school set to have admission requests exceeding its Published Admission Number (PAN) in 2019 through attracting pupils from outside the Pupil Planning area)) and while actions are being taken by the leaders of the school to reduce expenditure, further steps are required to ensure the school is able to repay the accumulated deficit.

  • Student Voice Survey for Secondary Schools 2017
    Student Voice Survey for Secondary Schools 2017 Welcome to the Student Voice Survey 2017. We are asking many students from all across County Durham to answer these questions. We want to know what you think about school, and what life is like for children and young people in County Durham. Your school will use the results of this survey to improve your experience of school. What you say will help your school to make sure that they are doing everything that they can to help you to succeed. Other organisations, such as the NHS and Durham County Council, will also use the results of this survey to find out what else they might be able to do to help make sure you are safe, healthy and happy. The survey is anonymous, which means that there is no way your school, or anyone else, can find out what answers you personally have selected, or what you have said. This is why we do not ask you for your name or your date of birth, or for any other information which we would be able to identify you from. There are seven sections in the questionnaire. Please be honest and answer as many questions as you can. Your views are important. Thank you for your help.
