  • Secondary School and Sixth Form Performance PDF
    Report to OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY PERFORMANCE AND VALUE FOR MONEY SELECT COMMITTEE Secondary school and sixth form performance Portfolio Holder: Cllr Shaid Mushtaq, Cabinet Member for Education & Early Years Officer Contact: Richard Lynch, Director of Education, Skills & Early Years Report Author: Tony Shepherd, Head of Learning 12 March 2020 Purpose of the Report The purpose of this report is to provide Elected Members with a review of secondary school and sixth form performance. Executive Summary In 2020 the pandemic caused the closure of schools and cancellation of examinations. Students were awarded their centre assessment grade or calculated grade, whichever was higher. This increased grades and meant that results for 2020 could not be directly compared to other years. In addition, performance data is not available at the school level, making 2020 analysis very limited. This paper provides a performance overview by summarising 2020 published data and reflecting on trends in 2017-2019 published data. In 2020, GCSE and A’ level outcomes for Oldham pupils were below national averages and the gaps between Oldham and national averages were wider than previously. The trends from 2017 to 2019 show a widening gap between GCSE and A’ level outcomes in Oldham and those nationally. Recommendations To note the report and actions planned to address areas of under-performance. Overview and Scrutiny Board Tuesday, 2 March 2021 Secondary school and sixth form performance 1 Background 1.1 This paper provides an update to the Overview and Scrutiny Board on secondary school and sixth form performance in Oldham. 1.2 Performance of pupils in exams are generally norm-referenced, so a similar proportion of grades are awarded each year.

    Contents Introduction 3 Using the Families of Schools document 7 Greater Manchester in context 11 Family pages 16 Contextual family pages 38 Annex 1 – What it all means: footnotes and explanations 43 Annex 2 – School contact details 49 2 Introduction 1. Families of Schools: the fifth edition The first four editions of Families of Schools for Greater Manchester Secondary schools were well received. We have been working with schools and education professionals across Greater Manchester to develop this fifth edition for 2011. As with previous years, this edition includes GCSE results with and without English and maths, a Contextual Value Added (CVA) measure and contextual families focusing on English as an Additional Language (EAL) and mobility. 2. How have families been grouped? Schools are grouped into families based on an average of prior attainment data and context data. Prior attainment data is the Average Key Stage 2 (KS2) Point Score (APS) for all pupils in Year 7 to Year 11 matched to Key Stage 4 data. Context data includes: • Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) data, calculated by linking individual pupil postcodes to IDACI data and compiling an average figure for each school 1. • The proportion of pupils eligible to receive Free School Meals (FSM). • The IDACI and FSM school averages are combined to give an overall indicator for the School Environment (SE). • The percentage of pupils whose first language is known or believed to be other than English (EAL). • A mobility measure, defined as the percentage of pupils in Year 10 or Year 11 who have joined the school within the last 2 years (L2Y).

  • Newsletter COVID 26.06.2020
    26th June 2020 Dear Parents and Carers, A warm welcome to all our families. This week we have welcomed back some of our year 6 children. They have been so resilient in adapting to the changes made in the school environment. We have also welcomed back more key worker children and all have enjoyed their learning in school. Update from the Government The intention from the government is that all pupils will go back to school in September, and they will be releasing further guidance next week to assist schools to prepare for a full return. We will expect further detail on the following topics before the end of the summer term: • Guidance on preparing for September • Curriculum expectations for the new academic year • Further detail on arrangements for accountability, assessment, qualifications and inspection from September We will therefore update parents as soon as we know more information. Transition Our teacher’s have been working hard with the teachers in Glodwick infants to ensure the best possible transition for the year 2 children’s arrival to Alexandra Park Junior School in September. Important transition meetings have taken place and Year 2 children should soon be meeting their Year 3 teachers virtually (through video) and will receive their own story book which they will enjoy reading with their families and support their learning in September. The year 6 teachers have also been working hard with the Secondary schools in supporting our year 6 children into year 7. We are planning surprises for our year 6 children in order that we can say goodbye to them.

  • Resource Pack YP 2016
    1 We live in a society where more people vote in televised talent shows than on polling day and where column inches are devoted to celebrity gossip than topical issues. We are fast becoming a nation of non participants with young people a high proportion of those failing to take up their voting entitlement. Although there is widespread concern that young people are disillusioned with politics there is also an acknowledgement that young people can be passionate about national, international and environmental issues as well as local community matters. Our challenge is to enable young people to enjoy discussing these issues and relate them to democracy and the ballot box. This pack tells you about how to get involved in the Oldham Youth Council elections and provide information on how to develop you campaign. 2 Page What is Oldham Youth Council? 4 Hello from the Youth Mayor 4 A word from the Chair 5 What happens in Oldham? 6 How do you get involved? 7 How to contact Oldham Youth Council 7 How to write a manifesto 8 Example manifestos 8 Contact details 10 Manifesto template 11 What will happen next? 12 Check list 13 3 The Oldham Youth Council is made up of approximately 60 members aged 11-21, from all over Oldham.

Background 2.1 It is essential that we are able to evidence a budget process that links revenue and capital.

No recommendations were made by the Commission to Cabinet. 3. Executive Summary/Recommendations 3.1 The main items to note from this report are: • The new draft capital strategy setting out the Councils strategy for planning future capital spend in particular the new policy led scoring mechanism requiring the need for a business case for each scheme which includes taking account of the impact on revenue.
