30Th March 2020 Dear Parent Re. Partial Closure Update – Change of Location to Hub School I Would Like to Thank You All for T 30th March 2020 Dear Parent Re. Partial Closure Update – Change of location to Hub School I would like to thank you all for the support you have given the school at this extremely difficult time. As you will be aware, we have been able to provide a continued service in school for the children of key workers and our most vulnerable. This will continue into the Easter holidays and beyond if this is what we are asked to do to support the measures designed to combat the Coronavirus. It is important to note however, that from Wednesday 1st April 2020, we are adjusting the way that we will run this provision by creating a central hub school based at Park Vale Academy. Park Vale Academy Top Valley Drive Top Valley Nottingham NG5 9AZ Telephone: 0115 822 1244 This hub will be shared by students from The Oakwood Academy and Park Vale Academy although members of Oakwood teaching and support staff will still be working with our students. This decision has been taken following Government advice on pooling resources and using hub schools in order to comply with the clear advice of reducing the number of people out of their homes and essential travel only. Should you need to contact us regarding any general enquiries during this time, you should do so by calling the Academy on 0115 953 9323 as our phone lines will be diverted to Park Vale Academy or via email: [email protected] Any concerns around child safeguarding should also be reported through via the academy telephone number or by calling Pak Vale Academy directly. A Designated Safeguarding Lead will be on duty daily to offer advice and support. May I take this opportunity to stress the continued need to only access this provision if it is absolutely essential and there are no other alternatives for your child at home. We still have not had any guidance regarding the grades that will be awarded to students in Year 11 who were expecting to sit GCSE's and this summer. However, we do anticipate that this will be released shortly and I will be in touch with you as soon as it becomes available. In times of difficulty, it is important for communities to pull together. The 'clap for carers' initiative on Thursday evening was truly inspiring. On hearing of the potential shortages of equipment in the NHS, Andrew Burns CEO of the Redhill trust asked all schools to donate science goggles and protective eyewear. Over 1000 items were delivered to the QMC this morning from the 7 Nottinghamshire schools in the trust, including Oakwood Academy. Finally, I would like to thank you for the kind messages you have sent to the staff here and wish you all the best of health. Yours sincerely Mr Hardy Headteacher .

    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.

This submission is on behalf of the members of Nottingham Conservatives and the Conservative Group of Councillors on Nottingham City Council. This follows the first response submitted on the fourth of September 2017 in response to Stage One of the Public Consultation on new warding arrangements. In short the Submission at the previous stage was a proposed new warding pattern for the entire Local Authority area which had been drafted following consultation with members of Nottingham Conservatives who represent all different areas of the City, both geographically and demographically. This consultation also included feedback from the Conservative Group of Councillors who are elected to Nottingham City Council. Nottingham Conservatives have since carefully evaluated the Commission’s draft recommendations (which were published at the end of October 2017) along with the Commission’s accompanying justifications for their proposals. This has, again, been discussed in further detail with local Party members and councillors. The following document contains detailed responses to the Commission’s draft recommendations and includes thorough feedback on the proposed wards and suggested amendments where appropriate.
