Of the 75 staff who hold new ideas into reality, encouraging others to follow. senior positions at Trust central and as principals and Through a period of great change in the English education vice-principals of our academies, our retention rate was system, one of the most remarkable features of LAT is its 97% in 2017-18. This builds on a similarly impressive continuity and stability, embodied most powerfully in the figure of 95% the year before. The continuity and contribution of three particular individuals deserving of commitment to seeing things through provided by our collective tribute. our senior leaders, year after year, is a key feature of LAT’s success. In its whole history, LAT has had just one Chairman. Bob Findlay fulfils this vital role with remarkable fortitude. In contrast, today’s world is beset by the fragility and Most people who know him recognise his considerable uncertainty of competing and polarising extremes; intellect, eye for detail and strength of character.

In the spring, Dartford and Molehill Primaries were judged good overall, having been in special measures when they joined the Trust. Most recently, another very positive inspection took place at Eastcote Primary. Building on recent Ofsted successes, in July we finalised the main primary academy outcomes for the year. There is much to celebrate. Results this year are the best in the history of the Trust, which now runs to eight primary academies across the region, with Cherry Orchard Primary being the latest to join as a brand new academy in the Ebbsfleet Garden City, which opened in September 2017. We are immensely grateful for the dedication of our talented staff and hard work of our pupils which has made these results possible. Early Years Across the Trust, 76% of pupils achieved a good level of development this year, compared to a national average of 69%. All academies achieved at least in line with the national average with some such as Hartley, Oaks and Langley Park exceeding this level by some margin. Phonics In year 1, the proportion of pupils passing the phonics screening check rose to 83% across the Trust this year, compared to a national average of 81%. In three LAT primary academies, Hartley, Oaks and Langley Park, over 90% of pupils achieved this important benchmark. By the end of year 2, 93% of pupils passed the phonics screening check in 2018, compared to a national average of 91%. Over 95% of pupils achieved this goal at our Dartford, Eastcote, Hartley, Oaks and Tree Tops Primaries. 4 www.leighacademiestrust.org.uk Key Stage 1 Results relating to the achievement Key Stage 1 National Average LAT 2018 of the expected standard or above Reading in reading, writing and maths across 74 75 % Expected standard or better LAT primary academies at the end of key stage 1 in 2018 are set out here.

Shaping Lives, Transforming Communities 5 Results 2018 GCSE This is another year of change at GCSE as all subjects other than English and maths complete the new 9-1 grade GCSEs for the first time, with terminal examinations and no coursework. In this environment of constant reform, we are delighted that most of our established academies are provisionally reporting improvements to their main Progress 8 headline measure of performance. Special mention is warranted of Wilmington and Mascalls Academies, whose outcomes are consistently strong for another year, and of Longfield and Strood Academies, which have leapt forward in their achievement in 2018. Across LAT roughly 6 in 10 pupils have achieved grades 9-4 in maths and English combined, with 3 in 10 doing the same at grades 9-5. A range of successes have been enjoyed across other subjects too, including in the new, tougher EBacc suite of courses. Attainment in all of the following EBacc subjects improved in 2018 : English Literature, science, history, French and Spanish. It is impossible to overstate the enormous effort of pupils and staff in achieving these results. We are tremendously grateful for everything they have done. Never has a group of year 11 pupils faced more examinations and a tougher set of assessments to finalise their GCSEs. We are very proud of them all and look forward to welcoming many of them back onto courses at post-16, including A Levels, applied and technical routes, plus the International Baccalaureate Careers-related Programme. 6 www.leighacademiestrust.org.uk A Level We are delighted with our A Level results this year. Students enjoyed similar success in applied and technical Qualifications at post-16 have become much more programmes despite the introduction of demanding demanding, but our students were more than a match examinations into these vocational courses for the first time.

In turn schools will be overcoming the challenges of COVID restrictions to still ensure you receive the best possible information to make informed choices. At this point in time you will be having discussions at home about your choices and preferences, considering the curriculum models on offer, the extra curricular clubs, the teaching and behaviour policies and maybe even the uniforms and lunchtime menus! We wanted to ensure that despite not having a building that you were given the opportunity to ask questions to make informed decisions about Leigh Academy Rainham and last week we recorded a video we will be sharing with you all on social media and our website.

Please provide the precise number and list of locations/names of primary and secondary schools in London where air pollution breaches legal limit, according to your most recent data (I believe the same metric has been used across the years, of annual mean limit of 40ug/m3 NO2, but please clarify). If you are able to provide more recent data without breaching the s12 time limit please do. If not, please provide underlying data from May 2018 (see below). Please provide as a spreadsheet with school name, pollution level, and any location information such as borough. This data is available on the London datastore. The most recent available data is from the London Atmospheric Emission Inventory (LAEI) 2016 and was published in April 2019. The data used for the 2018 report is LAEI 2013. Please find attached a list and a summary of all Educational Establishments in London and NO2 levels based on both the LAEI 2013 update and LAEI 2016. The list has been taken from the register of educational establishments in England and Wales, maintained by the Department for Education, and provides information on establishments providing compulsory, higher and further education. It was downloaded on 21/03/2019, just before the release of the LAEI 2016. The attached spreadsheet has recently been published as part of the LAEI 2016 stats on Datastore here.
