We also want them to have a challenging, broad and balanced education that stimulates their desire to learn and is relevant to their future lives. When making choices, the following questions might help: 1. Would my choice make for a well-balanced timetable? 2. What am I really interested in? 3. What am I good at? 4. What do I enjoy doing? 5. What is relevant to my future studies or possible career choice? GCSE English, Mathematics and Science, are taken by all students.

    Options 2019 Key Stage 4 Options Booklet 2019-20 A Guide for Year 9 students 1 Options 2019 Welcome to Key Stage 4 Message to Year 9 students Beginning Key Stage four courses is an important and exciting new phase in your lives. You have been given a grounding in a wide range of subject areas since Year 7 and now have the opportunity to increasingly direct your own learning and pursue some subjects with a heightened focus. We are very proud of the range of subjects we offer at Fortismere and we work hard to make sure all students experience a high quality curriculum. It is very important that you choose subjects that play to your interests and strengths. In order that you benefit most from your courses in Years 10 and 11, we have increasingly high expectations of your maturity, application and level of motivation. We expect that students will be organised, punctual and maintain high levels of attendance (96%) in order to fulfil your potential. The choices you make now will affect the subject choices you make at sixteen and eighteen – whether that involves ‘A’ levels/BTEC and university, further education, training or employment. You should have already discussed your initial thoughts with your tutor or Head of College, and shortly, you will have an opportunity to have a one-to-one meeting with a senior member of staff to discuss your option choices in more depth in a Guidance meeting. This month, there is an Options Evening taking place on Wednesday 23rd January where you can talk and listen to subject staff to discuss your potential subject choices and future pathways.

Analysis of GCSE results data for English Local Authorities (LAs) from 2010 to 2014 revealed that Haringey was one of the top three LAs that had made the greatest rate of improvement of the proportion of pupils achieving 5 GCSEs at grade A*-C including English and maths.1 This case study is based on interviews with: • Haringey Council, • The head teacher of Hornsey School for Girls • The head teacher of Gladesmore Community School. • The head teacher of Highgate Wood Secondary School who is also the chair of the Haringey Secondary Head teachers Group. We are very grateful to them for giving their time, thoughts and insights. Background The borough of Haringey is situated in the north of London, with a population of around 260,000 in 2014.

  • Shaping the Future of Secondary Education in Haringey Consultation on Adjustment to Haringey’S Secondary Community Schools Published Admission Number (PAN)
    Shaping the future of secondary education in Haringey Consultation on adjustment to Haringey’s secondary community schools published admission number (PAN) The consultation period will run from 7 November 2016 to 16 December 2016 This document: Has a series of responses to FAQs (Frequented asked questions) Demonstrates why we expect to need to change our PANs (published admission numbers) Shows the consultation timetable Explains how you can let us have your views and comments on this consultation from this page on the Haringey website: www.haringey.gov.uk/secondaryconsultation2016 1 FAQs (Frequently asked questions) – Consultation on adjustment to Haringey’s secondary community schools planned admission number (PAN) What are we consulting on? The Council is consulting on a possible adjustment to the borough’s community secondary school PANs (published admission number1) to numbers wholly divisible by 30. This would bring the authority into line with the majority of schools across the country where PANs are all set at multiples of 30. Haringey’s community schools are: Gladesmore Community School Highgate Wood School Hornsey School for Girls Northumberland Park Community School Park View School We also have other types of secondary school in our borough: Academy – Alexandra Park School, Greig City Academy, Heartlands High School, St Thomas More Catholic School, Woodside High School Foundation – Fortismere School Free School – Harris Academy Tottenham The governing bodies of academy, foundation and free schools are responsible for setting their own PANs. At present the majority of secondary schools in Haringey have PANs that are wholly divisible by 27. The exceptions to this are Harris Academy Tottenham and Woodside High that have PANs divisible by 30 and Alexandra Park School that has a PAN divisible by 29.

  • Times Parent Power Schools Guide 2020
    Times Parent Power Schools Guide 2020 Best Secondary Schools in London London’s grip on the very top of the Parent Power rankings for both state and independent schools has been loosened in the past 12 months. This time last year, the capital had 10 of the top 20 schools in the independent sector and nine of the top 20 state schools — figures that have declined this year to eight and five respectively. The overall number of London schools in both rankings has remained broadly the same, however, (down by just three in both the state and independent sectors) while the southeast region is dominant. The capital encompasses the best and worst of education. London primaries are hugely disproportionately represented in our primary school rankings, published last week, with 181 junior schools in the capital among the top 500. However, too many of the children from these schools go on to get lost in underachieving secondaries that are a million miles — or rather several hundred A*, A and B grades — away from the pages of Parent Power. There is cause for some optimism, however, as recent initiatives begin to bear fruit. New free schools, such as Harris Westminster Sixth Form, are helping to change the educational landscape. Harris Westminster is a partnership between Westminster School, one of the country’s most prestigious independents, and the Harris Federation, which has built up a network of 49 primary and secondary schools across the capital over the past 25 years, sponsored by Lord Harris, who built up the Carpetright empire.
