You can also view the results from the past years to see the trends and how well the Academy does. The School is immensely proud of its KS5 results. The Sixth Form has had a small cohort for several years and so truly every student, and every examination paper, counts. The fact that Holy Trinity Academy achieved a positive Progress Score over the past 3 years means that on average our stu- dents do better than expected.

    Thomas Telford School Governors’ Report To Parents November 2018 To All Parents of Students This is the twenty-eighth Annual Governors’ Report to Parents. There is no longer a statutory requirement for Governors to meet formally with parents and, as the meeting has not attracted many parents in the past, no such meeting is planned to be held again this year. However, if you have any queries or concerns please send these in writing to the Headmaster or to the Chairman of Governors and they will be dealt with appropriately. M Davies Clerk to the Governing Board 1 Chairman's Introduction This is my sixth Governors’ Annual Report to Parents as Chairman of the Board of Governors. This Report provides you with details of the students’ achievements during the last year and I am delighted to inform you that the School has enjoyed yet another successful year with tremendous GCSE results being achieved and also excellent results at A Level. Whilst there is no legal obligation for Governors to provide this Annual Report, the Board understands the importance of making this information available about the School. In this twenty-eighth Report, I am pleased to highlight a summary of the examination results which are shown in more detail later on in the report. This year, 95% of the students in Key Stage 4 achieved 5 or more GCSEs at A* - C / 9-4 including Mathematics and English. 97% of the cohort achieved 9-4 in either English Language or Literature. 95% of students also achieved a grade 4 or above in both English and Mathematics.

    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.

  • NEWPORT NEWS a Weekly Update from NGHS
    NEWPORT NEWS A weekly update from NGHS Volume 2 - Issue 31 - Friday 5 July 2019 Head’s Lines ast Saturday saw the most wonderful celebration of the last one hundred L years of Newport Girls’ High School. The event was well attended with over 400 programmes distributed at the door and visitors were assured of a warm welcome by staff and students alike. My colleagues pulled out all the stops to plan activities, many relating to life in education, technology, fashion and the arts over the past century and our students were, as always, perfect ambassadors for our school. Groups of students and staff who left in recent years were joined by a couple of ladies who had been at the school in the 1930s. It was an absolute joy and pleasure to meet them, to hear their stories of life at the school in the 30s and 40s and, of course, how much things have changed. I would like to thank the PTA for running a very busy Vintage Tea Room and the Newport Mr Scott with Mrs B Ashton and Mrs J Roberts who attended Advertiser, Shropshire Star, BBC Radio Shropshire and the NGHS in the 1960s with Charlotte (Year 8) Newport History Society, Staffordshire Archives and so many more organisations who helped us prepare our University College London. You will recall that we have archives. Miss AM Davies coordinated the day for us and Beacon School status and are recipients of the Quality Mark what a great job she did. Of particular merriment were the in Holocaust Education.
