School Bus Services in the Oldham Area September 2016 to July 2017 Journeys in this leaflet operate on schooldays only, unless otherwise stated. Although provided primarily for school students, members of the public may use these services with the exception of Yellow School Buses. Services are listed alphabetically under school names. Oldham 2016-2017 website6 - 1 - 03/03/2017 15:38:00 An introduction to School buses and concessionary fares for students in Greater Manchester Passengers can pay a fare to the driver for each journey shown on this timetable. However, students will need to show an IGO pass to travel at the concessionary (reduced) fare. If students do not have an IGO pass, they will have to pay a higher fare. Most of the journeys shown in this timetable are funded by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). The majority of TfGM funded services charge a standard fare, although some journeys do have additional fare bands. Daily return tickets are available on many services. In some cases, the return ticket can also be used for travel on other journeys which serve similar areas – even if it is provided by a different operator. If a daily return ticket is available on TfGM funded services, students can also buy a weekly scholars ticket, which costs £6.50. These are available from the bus driver on all services where they are applicable. To help the driver, please try to have the correct fare when buying your ticket. A summary of fares and ticketing information on all school services included in this timetable can be found at http://www.tfgm.com/journey_planning/Pages/back-to-school.aspx There are also a small number of TfGM funded services where the operator sets the fares. You will need to check with the operator what fares are available. Yellow School Buses This timetable also shows the journeys operated by Yellow School Buses. Yellow School Bus journeys have special travel conditions and can only be used by students who hold a Yellow School Bus pass which is valid for that journey (in addition to an IGO pass). Students who wish to use a Yellow School Bus should go to http://www.tfgm.com/buses/yellowschoolbus/Pages/default.aspx for details on how to apply for a pass. The IGO Pass All students between the ages of 11 and 16 need an IGO pass if they wish to travel at the concessionary (reduced fare) rate on buses. The IGO pass is like an ID card and proves that the student is aged 16 or under. It must be carried on all journeys and shown to the driver before paying the fare. The IGO pass costs £5 and can only be bought by students who live, or go to school in Greater Manchester. More information on IGO and an application form to get an IGO pass is on the TfGM website at http://igo.tfgm.com (Please note: students who are entitled to a free Scholars Travel Pass for journeys between home and school and students aged between 16 and 19 who have a Scholars Concessionary Pass, do not need an IGO Pass for these journeys) Oldham 2016-2017 website6 - 2 - 03/03/2017 15:38:00 SCHOOLS SERVED PAGE: SCHOOL NAME: START: FINISH: 3-5 BLESSED JOHN HENRY NEWMAN COLLEGE 0855 1515 MTThF Broadway, Oldham, OL9 9QY 1345 Wed BLUE COAT SCHOOL 6-9 0845 1520 Egerton Street, Oldham.

    Secondary School and Sixth Form Performance PDF

    Report to OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY PERFORMANCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY SELECT COMMITTEE Secondary school and sixth form performance Portfolio Holder: Cllr Shaid Mushtaq, Cabinet Member for Education & Early Years Officer Contact: Richard Lynch, Director of Education, Skills & Early Years Report Author: Tony Shepherd, Head of Learning 12 March 2020 Purpose of the Report The purpose of this report is to provide Elected Members with a review of secondary school and sixth form performance. Executive Summary In 2020 the pandemic caused the closure of schools and cancellation of examinations. Students were awarded their centre assessment grade or calculated grade, whichever was higher. This increased grades and meant that results for 2020 could not be directly compared to other years. In addition, performance data is not available at the school level, making 2020 analysis very limited. This paper provides a performance overview by summarising 2020 published data and reflecting on trends in 2017-2019 published data. In 2020, GCSE and A’ level outcomes for Oldham pupils were below national averages and the gaps between Oldham and national averages were wider than previously. The trends from 2017 to 2019 show a widening gap between GCSE and A’ level outcomes in Oldham and those nationally. Recommendations To note the report and actions planned to address areas of under-performance. Overview and Scrutiny Board Tuesday, 2 March 2021 Secondary school and sixth form performance 1 Background 1.1 This paper provides an update to the Overview and Scrutiny Board on secondary school and sixth form performance in Oldham. 1.2 Performance of pupils in exams are generally norm-referenced, so a similar proportion of grades are awarded each year.

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.
