Newscheck October 2019 E: [email protected] T: 01858 440770 W: www.robertsmyth.tgacademy.org.uk p Dear Parent/Carer, I must begin my introduction by expressing my heartfelt gratitude to parents, students and members of staff for a fantastic and purposeful start to the academic year. There are so many things to be grateful for already this year and while it is impossible for me to capture all the great moments, I must take this opportunity to select some important highlights during the best half term period that I have experienced since my arrival. I must start by congratulating every student who has attained merits in lessons, assemblies or as part of events. I have been very impressed by the hard work that has taken place and the excellent examples of recognition that students have experienced. Equally, we have been delighted to recognise every student who has not been assigned a single penalty point for the entirety of the half term period as a result of their preparation, character and diligence. It is statistically significant that this comment applies to the majority of students in the main school and this is an outstanding achievement. I think that this is an important moment to remind parents and students that future rewards, events and trips will be directly linked to the merit and penalty point system. There is no doubt that the increase in positive recognition has been beneficial for students and it is something we will continue to build upon. I would also like to thank our team of form tutors for their excellent work in the delivery of a PSHE programme at the start of the day from 8.45 – 9.10 a.m. This has been the focus of our first curriculum review, and I was delighted to gain student and staff feedback on how this area of the curriculum is working and the benefit to student experiences. This has been a very positive development which students value and I am highly ambitious that we continue to offer as much structure, support and guidance for students so that their school experience is excellent. I must now turn to some of the things that have really inspired me during this half term. It would be fair to say that I completed the summer holidays in a slight state of delirium following A-Level and GCSE results which reflected the best results that the Academy has achieved and some individual moments of success that will always live with me. Following those successes, I am delighted to have welcomed such a talented group of students to begin their A-Level studies with us in Year 12. This group has been ably supported by form tutors, Miss Syngajewski and Mr Luhrs and they have already made a fantastic first impression. At the same time, we have welcomed a highly talented and hard-working group into Year 7. These students have managed a new timetable, rooms, teachers and peer groups during their first half term with composure and confidence and we are very proud of the excellent start that they have made. Despite the difference of both age and stage, we have been enriched by welcoming so many gifts, talents, abilities and characters into our setting. I would like to congratulate all students for navigating their respective points of transition and for making a positive start. Having highlighted specific year groups, I do feel that a special place must be reserved for students in Year 11. There is no doubt that these students have raised the bar to a different level this year because they have demonstrated focus, resilience, emotional maturity and hard work throughout the first half term. I have taken the time to write to a list of students who have already attended 10 or more revision classes in their own time in preparation for GCSE examinations which is an incredible display of commitment. I know how much students want to succeed, and they can be reassured that their teachers, members of support staff alongside college leaders will be there for them every step of the way. I have been so impressed by the way that they have started the year and I must thank them for the superb example that they have offered their peers. I am personally invested in supporting them through the coming weeks and months and to this effect I will personally lead the trial exam process in November to give them maximum support and guidance. Whilst re-charging is crucial over the half term break, this is also a key time for revision ahead of those exams. If you are a parent, then you may approach this conversation by asking for their trial exam timetable (putting it on the fridge door) and asking to test them on their ‘knowledge organiser’ (https://www.robertsmyth.tgacademy.org.uk/parents/revision- support-for-parents/). Finally, I would like to congratulate Milly and Grace Burrows for their performances at the Dance World Cup in the summer where they competed at national level. I would also like to celebrate Iris Singleton’s progression into the Gold Fleet following her sailing success at the World Championships in July. I am delighted to be able to congratulate Vincent Graziano for his performance for the Great Britain Roller Hockey team in the European Championships in Italy and Ailsa McDonald on her performance in the British Championships, which has led to her selection into the Scottish swimming senior bronze squad. Whilst this is not an exhaustive list, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the hugely talented and wonderful students that I work with every day. This remains my privilege and I wish you all a very well deserved half term break. Reminders Please note these points from our Behaviour Policy as we approach the next half term; I did cite this information in July 2019 ahead of the new academic year, but it may be helpful to be reminded of this information: - All students will be expected to have the following equipment on the first day back: two black pens, a purple pen, a highlighter pen, a glue stick, a calculator, a ruler, a pencil, a sharpener and an eraser - All students must have their green planner when they return. This is an essential part of their equipment used for tracking positive stickers of recognition and penalty points for breaches of the behaviour policy. If a planner cannot be produced, then it this will result in an afterschool detention - Students know that they cannot have any piercing other than a single, discreet stud in each ear; they know that hair dye is not permitted, nail polish is not permitted and boys know that hybrid ‘trainer style’ shoes will not be accepted and their footwear should have a distinctive heel for the removal of doubt. It is vital that parents take responsibility for ensuring that when their child arrives at school, they are dressed appropriately. Form tutors will complete a uniform check on Monday 21st October to ensure that students are in full adherence. If they are not, then sanctions will be applied, and parents contacted - We remain proudly a ‘mobile phone free site’. If a phone is seen or heard during the day then it will be confiscated. Only a parent or carer may then collect this item. This will not be possible beyond 4 p.m. Daniel Cleary Principal Dates for your Diary Wednesday 23rd October 2019, Year 11 Careers Day Tuesday 29th to Thursday 31st October 2019, History trip to France Wednesday 13th November 2019, Sixth Form Open Evening Friday 15th November 2019, Academy Training Day (Students not in school) Monday 18th November 2019, Academy Training Day (Students not in school) Monday 25th November 2019, Year 11 Trial Exam Week Wednesday 27th November 2019, Sixth Form Open Morning Tuesday 3rd December 2019, Parent Focus Meeting Tuesday 10th December 2019, Year 8 Careers Day Thursday 12th December 2019, Christmas Concert Monday 16th December 2019, Year 13 Trial Exam Week Friday 20th December 2019, Academy closes at 1pm Half term really has arrived quickly this year, with summer barely seeming to have finished! This year brings a slightly new look Local Governing Body (LGB), with the retirement of several valued long- serving governors who were central to helping the Academy join the Tudor Grange Academy Trust (TGAT) a few years ago. I am only a few weeks into my period as Chair of the LGB, but already it has been a busy and productive time: from the results days back in August, start-of-term, to the open evening, and the awards evening. The LGB has had its first meeting of the year, considering the Academy’s GCSE and A-Level results, and is continuing to work closely with the senior leadership team on the Academy’s Improvement Planning, as we seek to develop an outstanding academy for Market Harborough and the surrounding area. It is fantastic to see the continued investment by TGAT into the Academy’s grounds and infrastructure: for those parents who have not seen the rear of the site, several ailing temporary classrooms have been demolished over the summer, and replaced with a great outdoor space with benches and table tennis tables for the students. If you are interested to find out more about the work of the LGB, you can do so here on our webpages: https://www.robertsmyth.tgacademy.org.uk/about/governance/. The LGB is always interested in hearing from parents and carers who wish to know more about the LGB: at the moment we are particularly interested in hearing from anyone with experience/interest in health and safety.

  • Education in Oadby, 1700-2013 Due to Oadby's Close Proximity to the City of Leicester, the Population Has Grown Enormously
    Education in Oadby, 1700-2013 Due to Oadby’s close proximity to the city of Leicester, the population has grown enormously since the early nineteenth century and educational provisions have been needed to develop alongside its growth. The returns to Bishop Wake’s visitation questionnaire of 1706-15 state that there was no school in Oadby.1 The 1818 parliamentary enquiry into the education of the poor records that the only means of education for poorer families was a Sunday school, which was connected to St. Peters Anglican Church and was attended by 117 children.2 By 1833, this had grown to accommodate 150 pupils, and there was now another Sunday school for nonconformists which was attended by 70 children.3 Both of these Sunday schools were supported by annual subscriptions and contained children of both sexes.4 The village also now had five small daily schools containing 82 children of both sexes, paid for by their parents.5 In 1838 the parish received funds to establish an infants’ school and a daily school which opened in a small rented room.6 The parish later joined in union with the National Society in 1848, and a new school was opened which could accommodate 155 infants and 103 older children.7 This new school was needed due to population growth, from 856 in 1821 to 1,196 in 1851.8 At the start of 1872 a school board was set up to provide additional school places, and was one of only six school boards in Leicestershire at the time.9 The board rented the Baptist church’s schoolroom for use as a day school, which opened on 22 July 1872.10 This school taught infants aged 3-7 and older children aged 7-13, and the school day was 9-12 in the morning and 2-4.15 in the afternoon except Saturdays.11 It became a council school after board schools were abolished by the 1902 Education Act.
