Formby High School ‘Determined to Achieve’ Headteacher: DMA/LFO Mr D A Mackenzie BA (Hons) NPQH Freshfield Road Formby 18 June 2021 Liverpool L37 3HW 01704 873100 enquiries@ formbyhighschool.com www. formbyhighschool.com Dear Parent @FormbyHigh Following the Prime Minister’s announcement on Monday that there will be a delay to the easing of Covid-19 restrictions until 19 July, the school is currently reviewing all planned activities until the end of term to ensure that risk assessments have been appropriately reviewed in light of the delay. As a school, we are committed to ensuring we can continue with as many activities as we can safely deliver for our students. Any changes which do need to be made to planned activities will be communicated in due course. As promised during my letter on 11 June 2021, I have consulted with the Headteacher of Range High School and we have decided that staff and students will continue to wear face coverings in classrooms and communal spaces in school during week commencing 21 June 2021. Both schools continue to manage positive Covid-19 cases and consider this control measure, along with the continued twice weekly testing of staff and students, essential in mitigating the extent of the impact in our schools. I would also like to share with you a letter from the Secretary of State for Education for all parents of secondary school children (please click here) about testing. The use of face coverings in school will continue to be reviewed on a weekly basis and I will write to you again on Friday 25 June 2021. Finally, I would like to remind you that Friday 25 June is an INSET day (staff only). Thank you again for your continued support during these challenging times. Yours sincerely D A Mackenzie Headteacher Formby High School is a Limited Company registered in England and Wales under Company No. 7724342 .

Schools Regulatory Services Determined Scheme for Co
SCHOOLS REGULATORY SERVICES DETERMINED SCHEME FOR CO-ORDINATION OF ADMISSIONS TO SEFTON SECONDARY SCHOOLS 2017 The scheme set out below seeks to comply with the requirements of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, as later amended and the School Admissions Code 2014 and any further updates, in respect of co-ordinated admissions schemes. The Local Authority scheme for coordination of admissions will come into force for admission applications submitted from September 2016 for the admission of pupils transferring from primary to Secondary school in September 2017. Children transfer from primary to secondary schools in the September following their eleventh birthday. The Education and Skills Act 2008 increased the minimum age at which young people in England can leave learning, thus requiring them to continue in education or training to the age of 18. All 11 year olds starting secondary education in September 2017 will continue their learning in Education and or training until the age of 18. Sefton Local Authority has a statutory duty to co-ordinate the primary to secondary transfer process for admissions to Secondary Schools within Sefton. In addition to the statutory co- ordination role, the Local Authority is the Admissions Authority for Community Secondary Schools in the Borough. This means the Admissions Criteria for those schools is set by the Local Authority. Sefton Local Authority administers an Equal Preference Admissions Scheme. This means that each individual preference (school) listed on the Local Authority application form will be considered equally according to each individual school’s admissions criteria. If a place can be offered at more than one of the preferences listed on the application form, then the Local Authority will automatically offer the highest preferred school.

It Has Been Another Busy Week at Greenbank As You Can See in the Newsletter
GHS News Edition 2: 18th September 2017 It has been another busy week at Greenbank as you can see in the newsletter. I am delighted that over 100 pupils have signed up to be Open Evening guides. The girls will need to be in school from 5.30pm in full school uniform including blazer badges as parents often arrive early. New guides are welcome and can sign up on Monday via a letter available at reception. The evening is an excellent opportunity to open our doors to the community and celebrate life at Greenbank. It was fantastic to see after school clubs start last week with high numbers attending. The timetable for PE and Music clubs was in my last newsletter. Dance, Drama and Let’s Get Cooking Club now have over 100 pupils signed up! Please ask your daughter to ensure she says thank you to the member of staff delivering the club after school. During assemblies last week Mrs Russell outlined our Behaviour for Learning Policy which is summarised in the Student Planner. Our aim is to ensure girls are fully aware of the routines in school, rewards which apply to the vast majority and sanctions which apply to very few. Wandering around school last week I was impressed with the impeccable behaviour and learning taking place in all areas. As you will see below there are major roadworks starting on Lord Street which may disrupt your daughter’s travel to and from school. If you bring your daughter to school by car, please drop her off on Waterloo Road and not Hastings Road so they can ‘park and stride.’ We ask parents not to drive into the school grounds or attempt a three point turn before the barriers, as this is potentially very dangerous for our pupils and staff alike.

School Performance – Possible Reasons for the Deterioration of Attainment at Secondary Schools
Report to: Overview and Date of meeting: 30 January 2018 Scrutiny Committee (Children’s Services and Safeguarding) Subject: School Performance – Possible Reasons for the Deterioration of Attainment at Secondary Schools. Report of: Head of Schools Wards Affected: All & Families Is this a Key N0 Included in No Decision: Forward Plan: Exempt / No Confidential Report: Summary This report looks at the performance of secondary schools in Sefton against the nationally available research on the way different factors affect the progress and attainment of pupils. National research into pupil attainment and progression inevitably concludes ‘it’s complicated’ but some key themes which have an impact are: Deprivation & Poverty; Parental Education, Involvement, and Environment; School Culture, Quality, and Teacher Turnover; and of course The Pupil. The report outlines work that schools are doing to improve performance and some of the challenges to doing this. Recommendation(s): Overview and Scrutiny Committee (Children’s Services and Safeguarding) are recommended to: i) Note the report .. Reasons for the Recommendation(s): Overview and Scrutiny Committee (Children’s Services and Safeguarding) requested a report on this issue for their consideration. Alternative Options Considered and Rejected: (including any Risk Implications) None What will it cost and how will it be financed? There are no direct financial implications arising from this report. However, it should be noted that if a school is operating under a licensed deficit budget agreement with the Council then there is a financial risk to the Council if the school is inspected and is given a poor judgement. If as a result of the inspection the Regional Schools Commissioner invokes an academy order against the school then at the point of the school converting any financial deficit against the converting school will have to be met by the Council.

Impact Case Study (Ref3b) Page 1
Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: Liverpool Hope University Unit of Assessment: D29 Title of case study: Is Shakespeare Good for Us? 1. Summary of the impact (indicative maximum 100 words) This case study looks at the research of Dr William Rossiter, who was a Senior Lecturer in English Literature, specializing in late medieval and early modern literature. The mandatory study of Shakespeare at GCSE and A-level presupposes a moral virtue inherent in studying Shakespeare's works, and Dr Rossiter sought to establish whether this moral virtue exists and to identify what it consists of. For the project called ‗Shakespeare for Schools‘, he gave a series of lectures and workshops on the topic in 2013, primarily but not exclusively aimed at school students. Local A- level students from a varied demographic were invited to attend a lecture and workshop on Shakespeare's comedies, tragedies or sonnets, depending on the texts they were studying, followed by a further seminar three months later, with a view to enhancing their knowledge of the early modern ethical principles that underpin those texts. The general public were also invited to a lecture on the themes of time and quality of life in Shakespeare's sonnets delivered on the anniversary of his birth/death (23 April 2013), as part of the opening night of Liverpool City Council's In Other Words literary festival. The impact of the events lies in the effect of the university-level analysis of Shakespeare‘s works and the moral code they foster, or are seen to foster, upon groups approaching Shakespeare from outside of academia.
