Leading on Our Journey to Outstanding 12Th Re: Leading on our Journey to Outstanding 12th February 2018 Dear Colleague, I am delighted at your expression of interest in joining the White Rose Academies Trust as Principal of Leeds East Academy. As the Executive Principal of the Trust, I am confident that you, if appointed to join our team, are arriving in the Trust at a very exciting time. The Board, which oversees the performance and strategy of the Trust, have set the challenging vision that all of our existing Academies will be judged Outstanding in the next two years. As we successfully implement this vision, we will also look to grow our Trust, so that more young people and the communities in which they live can benefit from the transformational plans that drive our organisation. In order to achieve this vision, we recognise that we have to collaborate and partner with outstanding colleagues and organisations across the region. As a Trust, we benefit tremendously from our sponsor, Leeds City College Group, which is one of the largest and most successful FE/HE College Groups in the UK. Our sponsor provides leadership and operational support and advice to all our Academies. They also share our vision of creating a truly outstanding Trust. As a Trust, we also work very closely with the Outstanding GORSE Academies Trust, through an industry defining school improvement agreement. This partnership provides high quality leadership and subject specific advice, as well as providing all our staff with an incredible range of CPD opportunities. As a new member of our team, you will enjoy the opportunity of working in some of the best resourced and modern schools in the region. In addition, you will have access to an excellent programme of CPD and many other benefits of working in a well-resourced Multi-Academy Trust. Our Academies are based in some of the most diverse and challenging areas of the UK, but all have at their core a truly inspirational student community. We are confident that our students will be the leaders of the future and that under their leadership, communities and nations will be radically transformed. To achieve our vision, we already employ over 300 outstanding professionals, all committed to unlocking the potential of young people whilst advancing their aspirations. If you believe you have the skills and experience to further the vision of our exciting future, we want to hear from you. As part of the application process, in addition to completing the formal application form, we would like you to provide a three-page letter outlining the strengths of the Academy, what you believe are the four key areas of improvement and how you would transform Leeds East Academy in to a world class school. In closing, should you wish to visit our Trust and Leeds East Academy, call Mrs Yvonne Hare, Head of Marketing and Communications on 07906699942, or email [email protected]. We will be happy to arrange a tour at your convenience.

    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.

  • URN Institution Name 143129 Phoenix Academy 142905 South
    University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag All schools on this list meet the requirements for the University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag. The Institution Contextual Flag is given to all institutions whose data indicates that they perform in the bottom 40% nationally for KS5 results reported by the Department for Education each year. We use the average point school per entry and where data is not available, we use KS4 result, if available. In order to make this more reliable we look at data over a three year period to see if they are low performing for at least two out of the last three years. In cases where an Institution is flagged, but subsequently closes, the flag will be retained and the institution will continue to appear on the list. We use the Institution supplied by you in your UCAS application (the UCAS centre or Last Institution) to identify whether it has a Contextual Flag. Please note: independent schools are not included, neither do we have data from government agencies in Scotland and Northern Ireland and therefore these cannot be given a flag. Similarly, there may be schools or colleges which have recently changed name, status or have merged and this has resulted in no data being reported by the Department of Education , in these instances we will not be able to assess the Institution for a Contextual Flag.
