VIRTUAL TRANSITION PROJECT The Cardiff Commitment with partners has developed a Virtual Transition Project with three pilot high schools; Eastern High School, Fitzalan High School and Cathays High School. Transition is important for children and young people and provides opportunity to develop skills to build relationships, gain confidence and feel safe, all of which lead to improved outcomes in High School. The Virtual Transition Project provides Year 6 pupils access to a secure web page and google classroom developed by the secondary school they will be transitioning to in September. The web page and classroom hosts a variety of activities and encourages children, young people and staff to communicate and get to know one another better and find out more about the school, staff, maps of the school, uniform, expectations and post any questions they may have either in form or house groups. A further four high schools have engaged with the project since the pilots was launched; Cantonian High School, St Illtyd’s High School, Corpus Christi R.C High School and Mary Immaculate High School. If you would like your school to get involved please email: [email protected] Cari Merriott Area Leader Transition/Health and Wellbeing Cathays High School It is fantastic that Cathays High School and our feeder Primaries are part of this Project.

History Middle Ages Canton, or Treganna in the Welsh language, was formed around a 13th century Manor in Cardiff and assumed lands from nearby Llandaff and Leckwith parishes under the stewardship of an Earl (or Baron) de Kanetune, although today the manor comes under the jurisdiction of the Manor of Llandaff.

    th th 12 – 18 October, 2012 www.howellsth -cardiff.gdst.net www.howells-cardiff.gdst.net 24 September, 2010 This week we have had a major house event to raise money for Headway. Headway is a national charity with a base in Cardiff which aims to improve life after brain injury and provide information, support and services to people affected by brain injury, their family and carers. Every day this week, different year groups within the College and Senior School have brought in cakes or cookies as part of the Great Howell’s Bake-Off. Every entry has received two house points and Mrs Price and the kitchen staff have been delighted to be the judges of what may well become an annual competition. House points have been awarded for the best tasting, the best presentation and the most creative cakes, and I am delighted to tell you the results are: Baldwin wins with 394 points, Trotter with 287 points, Kendall with 240 points and Lewis with 200 points. The amount of money raised for Headway is nearly £500. Well done to everyone who has made, judged, bought and eaten cakes this week! Dates for Your Diary On Wednesday, I attended the Extended Project presentations by Year 13. I was extremely impressed by the standard of the presentations given by College students. The eight students taking part spoke to the audience confidently and knowledgably on the topics they had chosen to study. I heard about Statistics and Football, Face Further Ahead Transplants and Stradivarius violins, to mention just a few of the many and varied topics that were covered.

  • Appendix 6 Impact Analysis: Current Patterns of Demand Across the City in the Context of Feeder School Admission Criterion Option (Option B)
    Appendix 6 Impact Analysis: current patterns of demand across the city in the context of feeder school admission criterion option (Option B) Analysis of the most recent verified PLASC (Pupil Level Annual School Census) data was carried out to give an indication of the alignment between existing patterns of school place provision and demand, if a feeder school criterion was implemented (Option B). For the purposes of data analysis, the focus was placed on the Year 4 cohort as it represented the year group transitioning to secondary school in which the admission arrangements for 2019/20 would apply. A comparison exercise was undertaken between the PAN of secondary schools against the numbers of pupils who are resident within catchment and are also attending the community primary schools nested within the secondary school catchment. It was found that 4 of the 13 schools had more pupils resident within catchment and attending feeder schools than could be accommodated in their linked secondary schools: Cardiff West Community High School (270 pupils in catchment, 240 PAN) Eastern High (343 pupils, 240 PAN) Fitzalan High School (386 pupils, 300 PAN) Llanishen High School (394 pupils, 300 PAN) Further to this approach, comparison of the aggregate Published Admission Number (PAN) of the feeder schools to their respective linked secondary schools, indicated that only 6 of the 13 secondary schools would potentially be able to accommodate all pupils from their respective feeder primary schools, as the aggregate PAN in primary schools is less than
