Ben Roberts, Headteacher. Marion Guertin, Deputy Headteacher Tel: 020 7622 4101 Email: [email protected] 25 September 2020 Dear Parents and Carers of children in Year 6, Secondary Transfer update This letter aims to keep you up to date with the processes involved in applying for secondary school. Thank you for your patience since we held virtual meetings in the Summer term and created our Secondary Transfer webpage. Since then we have been promised further clarification, however we feel it is important to update you even though we are still awaiting final confirmation. Closing date for applications One thing that we do know is that the closing date for (online) applications for all boroughs is Saturday 31st October. As this is during half term, we encourage you to do so by Friday 23rd in case you need support from someone at school. Open days/evenings Secondary schools are providing different opportunities for you to ‘visit’ them due to Covid-19 restrictions. Check each school’s own website Please remember that most schools will be very keen for you to apply to them. So there is no harm in contacting a school for further information. Admissions tests Details of the Lambeth test are yet to be finalised. The Wandsworth test (for Ashcroft Technology Academy, Burntwood School, Chestnut Grove Academy, Ernest Bevin College or Graveney School) will be held in December this year. Please find details on the Wandsworth website. A Southwark test (for Kingsdale Foundation School, City of London Academy or St Savour’s & St Olave’s School) is explained on the Southwark website. We recognise the importance of finding a school that best meets the needs of your child. So if you would like a conversation with a member of staff about your specific child and circumstances, please email the office. Kind regards, Ben Roberts Headteacher Heathbrook Primary School St Rule Street, London SW8 3EH .

Evelyn Grace News Parent/Carer Newsletter April 2013 Year 9 Leadership Day at Prestigious King’S College London
the Evelyn Grace News Parent/Carer Newsletter April 2013 www.evelyngraceacademy.org Year 9 Leadership Day at prestigious King’s College London On Friday 8th March, 170 Year 9 students had the opportunity to take part in an inspirational Leadership Day at King’s College University, London. Powerful messages about the real meaning of education and the behaviours and attitudes that lead to successful living and learning were delivered in an entertaining, motivating session during the first part of the day. In the second part of the day students worked in small groups where they discussed common classroom scenarios and reflected thoughtfully on how they can individually and collectively take greater responsibility for successful learning in the Academy. A key part of the day was working together on an “INSTEAD” report, the student version of an Ofsted report. The plenary session with David and Bob presented an opportunity for students to say aloud what they learned dur- ing the day and commit to taking action to “Mind the Gap” when back in school. EGA Spelling Champions 9 EGA pupils beat off stiff competition from all of the other Ark schools to become Spelling Bee champions at Burlington Danes Academy on Wednesday 27th March. Hugo Williams (Year 7) and Rae Boyd-McKenzie (Year 8) won their rounds convincingly and both Kartei Gregory (Year 9) and Tamara Collins-Pascal (Year 9) came runners up in their rounds leading an impressive display by EGA.

Ernest Bevin College and Sixth Form Centre
Ernest Bevin College and Sixth Form Centre Sixth Form Prospectus Sixth Form Centre for boys & girls (aged 16-19) in SW London Bevin believes in.. respect, opportunity, happiness, resilience, tolerance SUCCESS FOR ALL EBC Sixth Form offers a comprehensive range of courses including A Levels and BTECs, making it a popular choice for post-16 studies. Our Sixth Formers are highly successful in their examinations and we have established links with employers and universities to help our Sixth Formers secure university places, apprenticeships and jobs. Each year over 100 Sixth Formers leave Ernest Bevin to take up places at university on courses ranging from Medicine & Law, Computer Science and Economics. Two thirds of our leavers go on to study a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) related subject, many at Russell Group universities. Students achieve high grades in both A Levels and BTEC courses, and the excellent results obtained in vocational subjects are recognised as some of the best in Wandsworth. Many of our Sixth Formers have been with us at EBC since joining the lower school, but we are also very pleased to welcome a number of new students, including several young women, to join our co-educational Sixth Form. We work hard to ensure all our Sixth Formers settle and get the most out of their time here. Students are encouraged to take part in extra-curricular activities, sport and trips. So for a supportive and challenging Sixth Form environment we think you can’t beat EBC and I hope you will consider joining our success story. Rukhsana Sheikh, Principal Bevin believes in.

Chestnut News Date: 9 Feb 2018 Issue No: 66
Chestnut News Date: 9 Feb 2018 Issue No: 66 MESSAGE FROM THE HEADTEACHER Dear Parents It seems like this half-term has flown by and that it was only yesterday that I was welcoming everybody back from the Christmas holidays. This half-term has been incredibly busy with staff and students eagerly preparing for the upcoming GCSE and A Level exams. I do hope that as well as revising hard, students take the time to immerse themselves in something that they really enjoy outside of school over the half-term break. Next half-term will also be incredibly busy and it is important that students strike the right balance between work and play. Over half-term we are expecting the demolition of our old building to commence. The demolition is expected to take around 10 weeks and we are looking forward to finally having a view out of our new build windows. Although the demolition phase of the project is behind schedule we are optimistic that our students will be able to enjoy their new playground in the very early part of the 2018-2019 academic year. In the next newsletter I hope to be able to share some photographs of the demolition with you. Finally, I am delighted to announce that our very own Ms Taylor has been awarded a Jack Petchey Leader award for the work she has done in Chestnut Grove in engaging our students in promoting equality. Huge congratulations to Ms Taylor for the inspiring work she has done, and continues to do, at Chestnut Grove.

Allfarthing Secondary School.Pdf
Key points It is typical for transfer from primary to secondary schools in Wandsworth for children to go to wide range of schools. You are fortunate in that you are not just allocated your nearest secondary; there is genuine choice. The South London independent day and grammar market is incredibly competitive. Don’t underestimate how much tutoring is done. We will support all children in getting into their school of choice, the pathway is clear from Allfarthing. There are ‘Specialist’ places in some secondary (more to come) Across London applications, you can apply from outside Wandsworth Try to find a safety net/banker-this will allow you approach it with less stress Look at the distance on 31st August not offer day. This is normally the reality. https://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/media/5810/previous _years_admissions_for_wandsworth_secondary_schoo ls.pdf Staying at Primary school until Y6 Involved in mentoring, prefects, house captains and role- model to younger children Enhanced sports, music and arts competitions as you get older and in Y5/6 You only leave primary school once, there is no absolute date for leaving secondary school due to exams. When I arrived I said we needed staffing stability-this has now occurred with a mixture of new and experienced teachers. There have been no new teachers over the last two years. It does affect the school if children leave before Y6- financially, emotionally and strategically.
