We work with schools, and they in turn work with each pupil, to give them all the support they need to achieve the very best they can. Newham secondary schools have high aspirations for our young people and the majority of our secondary pupils currently attend a school rated either good or outstanding by Government inspectors (Ofsted). We are proud of our GCSE results and our pupils now gain grades to match those from the top schools in the country. These solid academic foundations enable Newham’s young people to progress and succeed in their next steps in education or training. Our schools are making stronger links with employers and business, while more pupils are choosing post-16 education on their path to fulfilling their employment aspirations. These achievements are the result of years of hard work by schools, parents and carers as well as continued investment in young people by Newham Council. Newham’s secondary schools provide a range of learning opportunities that go far beyond those provided in other boroughs. Funded by the council and delivered with the support of schools, Newham’s innovative and unique Every Child programme sits alongside wider extra-curricular activities at all our secondary schools – so our young people have a range of opportunities to pursue their interests and develop their learning inside and outside the classroom. The health and well-being of our young people is essential and Newham’s Every Child a Sports Person gives young people an opportunity to get active in ways they may not have experienced before. Our partnerships with Stratford Circus, Theatre Royal Stratford East, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and the National Theatre enable us to deliver our Every Child a Theatre Goer programme. Pupils in Newham secondary schools now have opportunities to experience – for free – world-class theatre on their doorstep in Newham as well as in central London. We recommend that you visit schools on their open days and take the opportunity to meet teaching and support staff, see the school in action, view the facilities and hear about the school’s achievements. Open day dates are also included in this guide. We also strongly encourage you to apply online for your child’s school place – this means you will be automatically entered into our prize draw to be in with a chance of getting help purchasing school uniform. We are justifiably proud of our schools, whose staff work tremendously hard to support Newham’s young people to meet their aspirations and ambitions so they are ready for their first steps into adult life. We look forward to welcoming your child to one of our secondary schools and to supporting them in achieving their potential.

  • Making a Home in Silvertown – Transcript
    Making a Home in Silvertown – Transcript PART 1 Hello everyone, and welcome to ‘Making a Home in Silvertown’, a guided walk in association with Newham Heritage Festival and the Access and Engagement team at Birkbeck, University of London. My name’s Matt, and I’m your tour guide for this sequence of three videos that lead you on a historic guided walk around Silvertown, one of East London’s most dynamic neighbourhoods. Silvertown is part of London’s Docklands, in the London Borough of Newham. The area’s history has been shaped by the River Thames, the Docks, and the unrivalled variety of shipping, cargoes and travellers that passed through the Port of London. The walk focuses on the many people from around the country and around the world who have made their homes here, and how residents have coped with the sometimes challenging conditions in the area. It will include plenty of historical images from Newham’s archives. There’s always more to explore about this unique part of London, and I hope these videos inspire you to explore further. The reason why this walk is online, instead of me leading you around Silvertown in person, is that as we record this, the U.K. has some restrictions on movement and public assembly due to the pandemic of COVID-19, or Coronavirus. So the idea is that you can download these videos onto a device and follow their route around the area, pausing them where necessary. The videos are intended to be modular, each beginning and ending at one of the local Docklands Light Railway stations.

  • Admissions Policy 2020-2021
    Determined School Admission Arrangements Infant, Junior, Primary and Secondary For entry from September 2020 Intellectual property of LB Newham Author Tracy Jones Pupil Services Page 1 Introduction and legal overview All admissions authorities for state funded schools in England must comply with the current Schools Admissions Code December 2014 which is produced by Department for Education and sets out the law and guidance relating to school admissions. Local authorities have an important role in monitoring compliance with the Admissions Code and are required to report annually to the Schools Adjudicator on the fairness and legality of the admissions arrangements for all schools in their area, including those for whom they are not the admissions authority. As the admissions authority for the community and voluntary controlled infant, junior and primary schools located in Newham, the LB Newham is required to draft, consult on and determine their admission arrangements including the oversubscription criteria. For all state funded schools, the law requires that where applications exceed the Published Admission Number (PAN), their admission authority must strictly apply their published arrangements and oversubscription criteria to determine the children who must be offered any places available. This policy sets out the arrangements (rules) that the Local Authority (LB Newham) will follow to determine the placement of children in our maintained schools. To promote a clear, fair and transparent approach, the LB of Newham recommends and invites academies and free schools to adopt these arrangements with our oversubscription criteria or their own. Prior to formal consultation to LB Newham’s School Admissions Forum work in partnership with LB Newham officers to agree the content of this policy.

  • For Immediate Release – 11 December 2019
    For immediate release – 11 December 2019 Green light for new homes and commercial development at Silvertown Quays Plans for a major regeneration of Silvertown Quays in east London have been given the go ahead. Detailed planning permission has been granted for the first phase of redevelopment of the site, which will include refurbishment of the landmark but currently derelict Millennium Mills building. Silvertown Quays is a swathe of land bordering the Royal Victoria Dock and close to Thames Barrier Park. When redevelopment of the site is complete Silvertown will provide thousands of new homes and non-residential space including commercial, brand, retail, hotel and community use. The finished scheme is also expected to generate thousands of jobs and make a key contribution to the continuing regeneration of an important part of east London. Silvertown Quays is able to boast a rich industrial heritage as it formed part of London’s main docks during the first half of the 20th century. Phase one of the redevelopment includes refurbishment of the Millennium Mills, a derelict and imposing flour mill that has not been in use since the 1980s. The site is also home to Silo D, a Grade II listed, modernist and reinforced concrete grain silo, which dates from the 1920s and will also become a focal point of the new development. Plans for phase one of the scheme include circa. 1,000 new homes and have now been signed off by the Borough of Newham. Those plans were put together by Lendlease and Starwood Capital, working in a joint venture as The Silvertown Partnership.

  • Headlines by Rachel Mcgowan Mobile Phone Protocol Mobile Phones Are, to Many People, an Essential Feature of Everyday Life. in L
    Issue 90 Working together to promote & celebrate achievement Friday 8th February 2019 Name & Tutor Group: Headlines by Rachel McGowan Mobile Phone Protocol Mobile phones are, to many people, an essential feature of everyday life. In light of the recent media attention about mobile phones in schools I wish to reiterate what has been Plashet School policy for over six years. I am aware that many parents want their daughter to have a phone on their journey to and from school to help ensure her safety. Within school students are safe and are able to contact home should they need to through reception. Similarly, parents/guardians can send messages to students by telephoning the school. Whilst on school site students are not allowed to use their mobile phones or have them visible at any time. This rule is in place to ensure that students concentrate entirely on their studies and, in unstructured time, they are not engaged in activities with a mobile phone that could put them or others at risk and they instead spend their break and lunchtimes talking rather than looking at a screen. If a student is seen using a mobile phone on school premises it will be confiscated and held in school for three working days. A letter will be sent home alerting parents/guardians of the confiscation. The confiscated mobile phone will be returned to the student’s parent or guardian after three days. If a parent wishes their daughter to have a mobile phone for the journey to and from school, the phone remains the responsibility of that student and the school does not accept any liability for any mobile phone lost or stolen in school whilst in the child’s possession.
