Rated as Good by Ofsted in May 2017, we are also proud to be the top school in Swindon, and in the top 20% of schools nationally, for student progress. Mrs Robinson Our constant focus on progress and innovative education facilitated the achievement of these fantastic results and demonstrates how commi ed we are to our vision to inspire our young people to flourish both academically and personally. Swindon Academy is part of a Cluster of schools run by United Learning, along with Nova Hreod Academy. As a Cluster in a large group of schools, we have access to fantastic training opportunities for our teachers to ensure that teaching standards are always high. We pride ourselves on providing the very best teaching experiences for our pupils but we also ensure that our students have plenty of opportunities to relax, have fun and learn new skills in after school clubs. We look forward to getting to know you and your son/daughter over the next few years and encourage you to come and speak to us should you have any questions along the way. Mrs Ruth Robinson Executive Principal Introduction from Secondary Headteacher, Karen Stokes I’m delighted that your son/daughter will be joining Swindon Academy and will become part of our thriving and happy school community. Swindon Academy is a hardworking and happy school. Visitors and, more importantly our students, tell us this; they feel safe and secure and as such are well placed to reach their poten al. Ms Stokes The structure of the school day provides our students with significantly more teaching time than other local schools, enabling them to learn in greater depth and make signi cant progress. We are very proud to have gained the title of the best school in Swindon since 2016. We closely monitor students’ progress, which enables us to give parents meaningful feedback on learning and progress. Pupils are set lesson prep-work to complete at home and we provide an online app, which helps parents monitor prep-work and completion deadlines. We actively encourage parents to engage with academy life and we want to hear from you. You can use the contacts on the back page or attend our weekly Parent Drop In Clinics - no appointment necessary. In this Handbook you will learn about our successful school community. Please review the information in the Handbook with your child; you should find everything you need to help them make a successful start at Swindon Academy. Ms Karen Stokes Secondary Headteacher and Cluster Development Lead 3 Swindon Academy Vision Our mission underpins everything we do. You will see our mission enacted in classrooms and corridors, in clubs and in assemblies, in lessons and at break and lunchtime. In short, we live and breathe our mission every day so that we continue to transform the life chances of the young people we educate. Our mission is: Swindon Academy ensures that every pupil is able to flourish academically and personally in an aspirational and supportive environment. Our Unique Educational Partnership Swindon Academy has a unique educational partnership with Marlborough College, which is a prestigious private school based in Marlborough. This partnership plays a key role in supporting our Vision. Through activities provided by Marlborough College we seek to develop confident, resilient and independent students who are willing and able to face challenges. Students have the opportunity to participate in extension and enrichment activities, which include challenge days, sporting fixtures, music and dramatic events, curriculum-based residentials, attendance at educational lectures, outward bound activities, student exchanges, support with UCAS applications for Sixth Form … and much more. In addition, as two schools we work together to provide professional development opportunities for both sets of teachers to benefit from best practice and ensure that teaching methods are always at the cutting edge. We encourage all students to take advantage of the opportunities offered through Marlborough College and we know that you will support them in taking up these unique opportunities. 4 Learning Expectations and Attributes Swindon Academy is committed to providing an education, learning environment and curriculum that empowers students to develop a set of expectations and attributes that enables them to make excellent progress and to outstanding attitudes towards their own learning. We aim to develop the following expectations in all of our students: Students who strive for, and demonstrate, High expectations are at the heart of excellence in our expectations and attributes everything we do and in order to help are rewarded on a weekly and termly basis. develop a culture of excellence and high achievement, we aim to foster the following expectations and attributes in all students. 5 Key Stage 3 Curriculum There are 30 lessons each week. Each lesson lasts for 1 hour. At key stage 3, students will study the following subjects: Subject Lessons English 5 Maths 5 Science 4 Humanities 5 Languages 3 Sport 2 Design Technology 2 Art 1 Music 1 Performing Arts 1 PSHE 1 As an academy we are constantly working to improve the quality of teaching and learning to ensure that our students achieve the very best results. We have introduced a Mastery Curriculum for Years 7 - 9, which means that students acquire a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject knowledge and skills required for every subject. This builds their knowledge across the three years in preparation for the examina on process that takes place at the end of key stage 4. Some Year 7 students will receive a tailored curriculum, providing them with the intense accelerated literacy and numeracy development they need. Alongside this, we know that our students thrive when we take a consistent approach across the academy as they feel more con dent and secure in lessons. We continue to strengthen the techniques that we use as teachers in the classroom. Students will no ce their teachers using common terms across their classes. Alongside our Code of Conduct (pg 16) we have the following expectations of students’ learning behaviours in our classrooms: How we focus (SLANT) How we communicate (HEAPS) How we are polite (STEPS) Sit up Head up Sir/Miss Listen Eye contact Thank you Ask and answer questions Articulate clearly Excuse me Never interrupt Project your voice Please Track the speaker Speak in sentences Smile 6 Grammar Stream Our Grammar Steam was launched with Year 7 students in September 2016. From September 2019 it will be made up of students in Years 7, 8, 9 and 10. Students who attend the Grammar Stream are identified in Year 6 as being particularly academically able using verbal and non-verbal reasoning tests. They study a different curriculum to mainstream students, but they are an important and integrated part of our school community. The Grammar Stream Curriculum As with the mainstream curriculum, there are thirty lessons a week and each lesson lasts for one hour. At key stage 3, students study English, maths, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, history, RE, art, Spanish, PE, design technology, music and PSHE. Some students also have the opportunity to study Latin or Classics at Marlborough College. At key stage 4, students follow the EBacc curriculum and two option subjects, which they choose at the end of Year 9. For most of their lessons, Grammar Stream students are taught as a discrete group. The exceptions to this are lessons in sport, PSHE and KS4 options, for which the Grammar Stream students will be taught with the rest of their year group. Tutor Time Grammar Stream students are part of a College and a vertical tutor group for tutor time. It is important that students feel they belong to their College, in the same way as any other student. They therefore are expected to contribute, to the activities, competitions and life of their College. Student Support Our Grammar Stream Coordinator, Ms Dodsworth, is the first port of call for Grammar Stream students and parents in academic matters. We expect Grammar Stream students to demonstrate impeccable behaviour. If support and monitoring are required in this area, it will be provided by our team of College Managers, as with mainstream students. Prep Students in the Grammar Stream should expect each evening to receive up to 30 minutes of prep in key stage 3, and up to 45 minutes of in key stage 4. This covers a range of subject areas. They receive a timetable for prep, as mainstream students do. Prep is logged on Epraise for students and parents to check deadlines.
