    PRESS RELEASE: DANCE FUSION COMPETITION GREENACRE SPORTS PARTNERSHIP HOST- DANCE FUSION 2017. The Greenacre Sports Partnership Dance Fusion competition was held on Tuesday 28th March 2017 at Greenacre Academy. The competition saw 221 students, ranging from ages of 7-18 years old, participate from 18 different Primary and Secondary Schools within the partnership. Participants were able to choose their own style of dance, and they were judged for their creativity, skill and technique, personality, timing and overall performance. The results were as follows: Primary category: 1st: St Thomas More RC Primary School 2nd: St Michael’s RC Primary School 3rd: Danecourt Special School Secondary category: 1st: The Victory Academy Group 1 2nd: The Victory Academy Group 2 3rd: Fort Pitt Grammar School KS4 Group We were extremely fortunate to have some special guests to judge the competition. We welcomed Natalie Harris, Kent Sports Event Manager and who also coordinates the Kent School Games Cultural Celebration Event, which last year saw several Dance Fusion contestants perform. Secondly, we had none other than Strictly Come Dancing’s James and Ola Jordan!! All judges provided some fantastic feedback and hugely contributed to making the event a success! Furthermore, we were very grateful for the assistance of eighteen Greenacre Leadership Academy students, and five 6th form students, who supported the event by assisting with stage management, photography, welcoming and ticket collection, backstage management and chaperone duties. These pupils did an excellent job and we couldn’t have done the event without their additional support. The Dance Fusion competition would not have been possible if it wasn’t for the support of several partners.

  • Issue 18 Spring 2014
    Issue 18 Spring 2014 WELCOME. Welcome to the HSSP spring newsletter for 2014 – a rather wet one! A belated Happy New Sporting Year to yourselves and your pupils and parents. Many thanks for your school and pupils continued support of P.E. and School Sport in 2013 and of the many teacher training programmes, coaching, volunteering, playing and competitive opportunities we offer your schools. Our primaries are currently delighted with the news that the government has extended the grant offer of the Primary P.E. Premium funding until to summer 2016, (initially it was for 2 years only). So this ring fenced funding £9000 approx. per academic year for every Primary School, and an Ofsted priority, will last for 3 academic years. Furthermore, the current government have promised, to further extend this same amount every year for every Primary School until 2020 as part of the Olympic legacy, if they get elected. The HSSP staff are busy visiting many primary schools offering advice and support to Head Teachers and P.E. Co-ordinators on how to action plan and improve: their P.E. curriculum and quality of teaching and learning for staff and pupils, the health and physical activity levels of less active pupils and sports club and competition opportunities for all pupils. We have 39 out of a possible 45 schools signed up to our services this year and we plan to continue our school sport services for primaries in the future. We are currently reviewing our pricing structure to ensure that we can continue to exist financially beyond summer 2016, as we receive no government funding to help contribute towards the salaries of SSCo’s.

Standardisation means that each child's score can be compared with those achieved by other children in the group and an allowance made for age so that the youngest are not at a disadvantage. 4. The standardised scores are weighted. The weighted scores are then calculated to provide a total weighted score using the following formula: • 2 x Extended Writing standardised score plus • 2 x Mathematics standardised score plus • 1 x Verbal Reasoning standardised score The below is for example only: Standardised Weighted Score Score Extended Writing 119 (119 x 2) = 238 Maths 117 (117 x 2) = 234 VR 122 (122 X 1) = 122 Total weighted score = 594 5. Each year a minimum total weighted score is determined based on 23% of children attending Medway maintained schools in the year group. This sets the score needed to be assessed as grammar. For September 2020 admissions, the minimum total weighted score required to be assessed as grammar is 490.

JOHN FISHER CATHOLIC SCHOOL MEDWAY VALLEY Quality TRAINING PARTNERSHIP KMT Teacher Training JOURNEY INTO TEACHING For more information please contact: Tel: 01634 844809 Andy Plank: 01634 408425 Website: www.mvtp.org e-mail: [email protected] MEDWAY VALLEY TRAINING PARTNERSHIP JOURNEY INTO TEACHING WELCOME TO The Medway Valley Teaching Partnership The Medway Valley Teaching Partnership (MVTP) comprises schools and academies from Primary to Secondary level from the Medway Towns to Maidstone in Kent, linked by the pretty Medway Valley railway branch line which runs from Strood station through to Maidstone West and beyond. MVTP is run and maintained by practising teachers. This means that we are able to give guidance and help from current school perspectives. We firmly believe that the School Direct pathway into teaching has many advantages over the traditional initial teacher training routes, not least of which is the opportunity to experience school life at your preferred school right from the beginning of the academic year through to completion of your course and hopefully beyond. At MVTP we are dedicated to providing a training experience that equips trainees with the skills necessary to meet the challenges for a successful career in the teaching profession, whether you stay within the primary, secondary selective education system or non-selective sectors. For most subjects at secondary level, we are able to enhance your key stage 3 and 4 training with opportunities for experience of Key Stage 5 teaching. The teacher training courses are run jointly with our initial teacher education (ITE) partner; Kent and Medway Training.
