  • A Ult Academy for Weston Favell School Northampton, Northamptonshire Consultation Report
    Weston Favell School, Northampton A ULT Academy Consultation Report, December 2009 A ULT ACADEMY FOR WESTON FAVELL SCHOOL NORTHAMPTON, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE CONSULTATION REPORT “The school has had a poor reputation and the academy will give it a fresh start” (a significant stakeholder). 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Proposal to replace Weston Favell School with a ULT academy This report summarises the findings of an extensive public consultation into Northamptonshire County Council‟s (NCC) proposal to replace Weston Favell School (WFS) in East Northampton with an academy, catering for 1,650 young people aged 11-18 years. The consultation process has been conducted by DJB Consultancy, Independent Consultants on behalf of the United Learning Trust (ULT), sponsor of the proposed Weston Favell Academy, and the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF). The consultation ran for a four week period from 7th September to 2nd October 2009 and held joint public and key stakeholder meetings with NCC Officers. The consultants have also independently sought the views of a wide cross-section of people in the target school community – parents, students, staff, Governors, key education stakeholders, statutory support organisations and trades unions. The case for this academy proposal is strongly supported by NCC, which wishes to see a greater acceleration and sustainability in WFS‟s performance, despite its recent improved achievements at GCSE (30% of students achieved five or more A*- C grades including English and maths in the first year of a three-year National Challenge programme). However, WFS‟s governors and a majority of staff, students and parents are against this academy proposal.

  • Northamptonshire Pupil Premium
    NORTHAMPTONSHIRE PUPIL PREMIUM INNOVATIVE PRACTICE REPORT Page | 1 Acknowledgements Northamptonshire County Council and Achievement for All would like to thank the following people for their contribution to this project. All the Northamptonshire schools who have participated in the project. Nicky Hepworth, Project Lead, Achievement for All Michael Thompson, Teaching School Manager, Fairfields Teaching School Alliance Richard Ward, Integrated Services Manager, Northamptonshire County Council Jane Rowe, Early Years SEN officer, Northamptonshire County Council Joanne Sanchez-Thompson, Deputy Headteacher, The Grange Primary School, Daventry The Achievement Coaches involved in this project: Adrian Jolly, Dr Stefanie Lipinski and Kate Richards Page | 2 Foreword I am delighted to introduce to you a publication which celebrates the innovative, creative and effective practice of schools across our County in their use of pupil premium funding. It has been a pleasure, as Senior School Improvement Manager at the Local Authority, to work in close partnership with Achievement for All on this exciting project to capture that good practice. A range of schools in different phases, circumstances and sizes have been involved in this project and this publication offers a case study from each of those schools. This can only be a snapshot, and I am sure that there are many schools out there in our County offering equally interesting pupil premium funded provision who, for one reason or another, did not volunteer for the project – but thank you, enormously, to those who did. The principle of capturing good practice and disseminating it is one which is frequently overlooked in education, as we often become snarled in the expediency of having to “solve things” using more short term strategies.

    NORTHAMPTONSHIRE SECONDARY AND UTC Note: Where 'Please see school's proposed policy document' is noted in column 2, full admissions policies can be accessed from the NCC website, or should be available on the school's own website. SCHOOL PROPOSED CHANGES FOR 2020 INTAKES Abbeyfield School Bishop Stopford School All secondary schools in the Brooke Weston Trust (Brooke Weston Academy, Corby Business Academy, Corby Technical School, Kettering Science Academy) have proposed to make their waiting list criteria clearer, by using the following revised definition: From the 1st March until the 31st August of the offer year (the academic year before the academic year in which students are admitted into Year 7) children's position on the Year 7 waiting list will be determined solely in accordance with the oversubscription criteria. Where places become vacant they will be allocated, through a fresh round of random allocation, to children on the waiting list from the stanine that has become vacant and in accordance with the oversubscription criteria. If there is no-one on the waiting list from the stanine that has a vacancy the place will be filled by a child from a neighbouring stanine on an even basis (i.e. if the first child is from a stanine above then the next will be from the stanine below). Students who did not take the ability test will Brooke Weston Academy only be considered if there are places remaining once empty places have been offered to all those who did take the test. From the 1st September until the 31st December of the Year of entry in Year 7, late applicants (those who did not apply before the Local Authority’s closing date) and anyone else who did not sit the test will be randomly placed into the stanines on the waiting list, distributed evenly starting from stanine 5.
