14Th December 2020 Dear Parents and Carers 14th December 2020 Dear Parents and Carers Covid-19 Update – All Parents We hope that your children have enjoyed their remote lessons and Firefly and MS Teams tasks today; we’d like to thank all parents and carers for supporting their children with their home learning at this time. This has allowed the school to complete the test and trace processes safely which we had been notified about over the weekend and this morning. We have completed 8 processes for staff and a further 5 student cases and informed all students and staff identified as close contacts of the need to self-isolate for 10 days. This follows a change in national guidance for the self-isolation period which has reduced from 14 days to 10 days. Where students are already self-isolating, we will send parents an updated letter with new end dates. The further student cases have been in the following bubbles, one in Year 13, one in Year 12, one in Year 8 and two in Year 7. Based on staff capacity left available to the school we will be providing a mix of online and in-school learning for the last two days of term. Following the test and trace processes, there are over 40 colleagues who are unable to work in the building. • Year 11 – Learning in school, full timetabled day of lessons for Tuesday and Wednesday morning with their teachers. • Year 10 – will continue with working from home on Firefly tasks for their options and 3 ‘live lessons’ on Microsoft Teams on Tuesday in English, Maths and Science • Years 7, 8 and 9 will be continuing with home learning set on Firefly by their teachers. • Years 12 and 13 will continue with home learning via live lessons via MS Teams and some work set on Firefly by their class teachers. We will also remain open just as we did today for students in Years 7 and 8 to undertake supervised learning where students are not able to be cared for at home. We are postponing the Wells Kingston Cup celebration planned for tomorrow until the new year so that all Wells students are able to take part. This means year 11 should attend in full school uniform tomorrow and Wednesday. Principal: Jim Coupe Kingston Lane Shoreham-by-Sea West Sussex Shoreham Academy is part of United Learning.

Thank you for the help you gave during the inspection and for the time you made available to discuss the actions which have been taken since the academy’s previous monitoring inspection. The inspection was the fifth monitoring inspection since the academy became subject to special measures following the inspection which took place in December 2013. The full list of the areas for improvement which were identified during that inspection is set out in the annex to this letter. The monitoring inspection report is attached. Having considered all the evidence I am of the opinion that at this time: The academy is not taking effective action towards the removal of special measures. The academy may appoint newly qualified teachers in subjects other than science. This letter and monitoring inspection report will be published on the Ofsted website. I am copying this letter and the monitoring inspection report to the Secretary of State for Education, the Chair of the Governing Body and the Director of Children’s Services for West Sussex.

    Adur County Local Committee Chairman: David Simmons CLC Development Team Email: [email protected] Room 102 County Hall Support: Jack Caine Chichester Email: [email protected] West Sussex Tel: 03302228941 PO19 1RQ www.westsussex.gov.uk https://www.facebook.com/adurtalkwithus/ West Sussex County Council responses to 28 Questions from the Future for Adur Schools Team: 1. What is WSCC plan for Year 5 children applying to secondary school in 2019? We are aware that the demand for school places in Adur is increasing. Across the area there are places available at Sir Robert Woodard Academy (SWRA). At the time of writing these responses there are some 400 places available in SRWA. Should the need arise, as projections are indicating and increase for additional basic need places, then we would initially look to expand existing schools having maximised potential in those schools to fill to their net capacity totals. 2. What will you do to manage children's and parents expectations of a place at Shoreham Academy? West Sussex County Council manage the admissions rounds however Shoreham Academy is the admission authority for the school. We work with the school in coordinating the admissions rounds and we are sure that the school will manage the transition meetings as appropriate. The School has its own oversubscription criteria and places will be allocated accordingly. The Information for Parents booklet which is available on-line gives the last allocated distance and the category of child admitted to each school. This would help give parents some idea as to their likely admittance to a particular school.

  • Prospectus 2020
    Prospectus 2020 …best lesson,AMBITION best day,DETERMINATION best year,RESPECT best future… Welcome to Walthamstow Academy Walthamstow Academy is a dynamic, thriving and successful academy at the centre of the local community. I believe that at the heart of our success are three key factors. The first is the dedication of our staff, who are all wholly determined to do whatever it takes to get the best possible outcomes for every single one of our students. This involves nurturing every child and tracking their progress to make sure that they are on track and that we are bringing out the best in them. Second, we are committed to raising ambition through very high expectations and a belief that every child can achieve great things if they have the opportunity, the drive and the support that they need. As a Ms Emma Skae result, our students have these expectations of themselves. They want to learn, they want to be successful Principal and they want to be proud. Our attendance is outstanding: students want to be here, they describe being BSc BEd MA NPQH part of Walthamstow Academy as like being part of a family. Third, at Walthamstow Academy we believe that there is no time to waste. We make the most of every day. For every minute of every lesson, we make sure that our students are happy, engaged and learning. They know they need to make the most of every opportunity they are offered and we want to be there to make sure they succeed. I want all our students to have hopes and dreams for the future that mean they are challenging themselves to be the best they can be.

The time has now come for you to take that important step and apply for your child’s secondary school place for September 2021. To make the process as easy as possible, West Sussex County Council encourages you to apply using the online application system at www.westsussex.gov.uk/admissions. All the information you need to help you through the process of applying for a secondary school place is in this booklet. Before completing your application, please take the time to read this important information. The frequently asked questions pages and the admission arrangements for schools may help you decide on the best secondary schools for your child. We recognise that this year has been an unusual year with schools taking additional precautions to ensure safety for both staff and pupils during the current pandemic. However, many schools are making arrangements for prospective parents to better understand the school and to determine whether the school is the right fit for your child. Arrangements for visiting schools or for finding more out about the school may be organised differently to the way schools have managed this previously.
