  • The Victory Academy Admissions Policy 2021/22
    2021/22 Admissions Cover Sheet School Name The Victory Academy Address Magpie Hall Road Chatham Kent ME4 5JB Telephone number 03333 602140 Status Academy (member of the Thinking Schools Academy Trust) Date of determination 13/02/2020 TSAT Board of Directors The Victory Academy Admissions Policy 2021/22 Year 7 Admission Arrangements The arrangements for coordinated admissions in Medway will be set out in detail in the Medway LA booklet for parents ‘Admission to Secondary School’, a copy of which will be available with the Principal or from the admissions team at the Education Office. The main points are summarised below: • Parents complete the Medway common application form (CAF) in accordance with the Medway Co-ordinated Admission Scheme. • The Local Authority will then act as clearing house for the administration of pupils’ preferences. Parents will be informed on 1 March 2021. • The school will also post to parents decisions of the governors on admission and details of the right of appeal against the governors’ decision. The school’s published admission number is 210. At Victory Academy we operate a 'Fair Banding' admissions process to ensure we have a balanced proportion of students from across the whole ability range - a comprehensive intake. Students who wish to apply for a place at Victory Academy must take a Fair Banding test to be considered for admission to the Academy and this will be required if their parents/carers intend to put Victory Academy on the common admissions form. This test is usually a cognitive ability test(s) – it is not a pass or fail test.

  • Download Non-Grammar Assessed
    Transfer to Secondary School 2020 - Medway Test Results Information for pupils assessed as non-grammar at this stage 1. The Medway Test is to assess children for entry to the Medway grammar schools only. These schools are: Holcombe Grammar School Sir Joseph Williamson’s Mathematical School (boys) (boys) Chatham Grammar School for Girls The Rochester Grammar School (girls) (girls) Fort Pitt Grammar School In addition: (girls) The Howard School Rainham Mark Grammar School is a bi-lateral school (designated grammar section) (mixed) (boys) 2. The Medway Test is made up of three papers (verbal reasoning, mathematics and extended writing). The tests are marked individually and the results are standardised. 3. Standardisation means that each child's score can be compared with those achieved by other children in the group and an allowance made for age so that the youngest are not at a disadvantage. 4. The standardised scores are weighted. The weighted scores are then calculated to provide a total weighted score using the following formula: • 2 x Extended Writing standardised score plus • 2 x Mathematics standardised score plus • 1 x Verbal Reasoning standardised score The below is for example only: Standardised Weighted Score Score Extended Writing 119 (119 x 2) = 238 Maths 117 (117 x 2) = 234 VR 122 (122 X 1) = 122 Total weighted score = 594 5. Each year a minimum total weighted score is determined based on 23% of children attending Medway maintained schools in the year group. This sets the score needed to be assessed as grammar. For September 2020 admissions, the minimum total weighted score required to be assessed as grammar is 490.

  • 1 Report by Bernadette Hancock on the Application of the Victory Academy to Become an Accredited Thinking School by the Cognitiv
    GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION College of Social Sciences & International Studies St Luke’s Campus Heavitree Road Exeter EX1 2LU Telephone +44 (0)1392 724917 Email [email protected] Web www.exeter.ac.uk/education Report by Bernadette Hancock on the application of The Victory Academy to become an accredited Thinking School by the Cognitive Education Development Unit, University of Exeter. Context The Victory Academy is a “rapidly improving school”1 in Chatham, Kent. It is a smaller than the average- sized mixed secondary school. It is in an area where there are grammar schools and as a result, whilst welcoming students of all abilities, the student body tends to have lower prior achievement. The school also has a greater number of students with special educational needs or disabilities than average and a higher number of students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. It is part of the ‘Thinking Schools Academy Trust’ led by The Rochester Grammar School which is a family of schools working together to "improve the life chances of all their children and young people.”2 Evidence Base The University of Exeter received the school’s submission from the Thinking Skills Co-ordinator, Ms Laura Gladstone, evidencing the school’s progress towards meeting the accreditation criteria. Victory Academy School began its journey towards becoming a ‘Thinking School in 2015 when it changed its name and became part of the Thinking Schools Academy Trust. The evidence presented on the school’s web site was well-organised and included pictorial evidence of displays and work showing how pupils apply and use the tools to enrich and enhance their learning.

As you can see by the many different reports and images of life at RGS during terms 1 and 2, it has been another impressive start to the academic year.

Four students entered an Oxbridge university and one headed to the USA to commence her degree in Princeton, an Ivy League university. Overall, the grades achieved by the students represent their sheer hard work, determination and effort.
