TION This academic year did not go to plan. I could not be prouder of the way in which the Catmose community responded to the crisis brought about because of COVID-19. In the space of 24 hours we had to close the College to all but the children of critical workers and those most in need of our support and move to providing an education to all our students remotely. Throughout lockdown we remained open to approximately 40 students each day who were either children of critical workers or who we invited to attend because we were concerned about their engagement. All teachers, other than those needing to shield, attended College in order to supervise these students. Students who continued to work from home were provided a full curriculum with staff adapting their teaching to remote learning. All work was set using Show My Homework, (a virtual platform), that allows for resources and quizzes, and for students to submit their work. For each year group around 2000 tasks have been set by teachers over lockdown. The screenshot on the left demonstrates admirably the diverse approaches taken by staff, which encompasses opportunities to take part in sport and other community activities. We also observed staff using video conferencing lessons, filming themselves using green screen technology and others created voiceover presentations to explain the more difficult concepts. We adapted our delivery to the needs of our students rather than offering a one-size- fits- - approach, and this was broadly welcomed by students and led to very high levels of engagement and positive feedback through our usual surveys. We put in place a robust follow-up process so that students who were struggling to engage or complete work were contacted and additional support was given. As a result of this, we identified a number of students who were struggling due to access to technology and issued 30 computers from our own resources to support them. A parent from the College very kindly offered funds to purchase an additional 30 laptops which have been issued to support families. 2 For some students, working exclusively from home became too overwhelming and we therefore asked them to attend College to receive specialist support, small group work or to join one of our key worker groups for one or more days. The work of Client Services, (our pastoral team), has been critical in maintaining contact with our families and offering more bespoke support when needed. This meant that we were in a very strong position when we returned, with the vast majority of students having been able to keep up with their work and make good progress despite the lockdown. In June, the lockdown began to be eased and we saw 170 (out of 200) of our Year 10 students return to College and start to attend more normal face-to-face lessons. All Year 10 students were offered a day in College with core lessons being offered in maths, English, science and humanities. In addition, those students studying two practical GCSEs were invited to attend for an additional day to focus on completing the more applied aspects of their course. We were also able to offer all students, if beneficial, to attend College for a face-to-face meeting and therefore invited all students in Years 7 to 9 to meet with their form tutors and discuss how they managed during this period. This face-to-face meeting complemented the online meetings students experienced with their tutor. Alongside the academic work we also endeavoured to maintain the other important aspects of our ethos. This included toilet roll challenges, inter-house competitions, musical performances and even a virtual sports day. The importance of the broader life of the College to students was emphasised by the student council to me when we met via video conference. Their questions included when the postponed Mary Poppins performance and Year 7 Lion King performance would happen. Suffice to say, as soon as we are able, these important events will be re-scheduled. 3 our Instagram feed @catmose_college_oakham and Facebook page facebook.com/catmosecollege and website catmosecollege.com where you will see a diverse range of news from the College during this period which celebrates how positively students have continued to work hard and innovate in their own learning. Alongside this, we also submitted centre assessed grades and ranks for each student in each subject. This was a significant piece of work by teachers, the data management team and senior staff to ensure the grades were accurate, reflecting the hard work

  • Pupil Place Planning and School Organisation 2020-2021
    Pupil Place Planning and School Organisation 2020-2021 Rutland County Council’s Pupil Place Planning and School Organisation Strategy, and its annual updates, will be implemented alongside other local plans and strategies, including the Education Framework and the SEND and inclusion Strategy. Together, these support the drive to raise standards, aspiration and achievement, providing Rutland’s children and young people with the best life chances possible. Whilst this strategy’s key focus is on pupil place sufficiency in Rutland state-funded schools, to ensure this is viewed in the wider context of sufficiency and quality of education, the wider statutory duties for sufficiency of Early Education and Childcare and Post-16 provision are included. Early Education and Childcare The local authority has a duty though Sections 6, 7 and 9 of the Childcare Act 2006 to secure sufficient childcare places, so far as is reasonably practicable, for working parents or parents who are studying or training for employment, for children aged 0-14 (or up to 18 for disabled children). Sufficiency is evaluated and reported through the annual Childcare Sufficiency Assessment (CSA) School Places from Reception to Year 11 The Education Act 1996 legislated that local authorities should have regard to sections 13, 13A and 14 which require local authorities to ensure that sufficient primary and secondary education is available to meet the needs of their population. Sufficiency is evaluated and reported through the annual School Capacity (SCAP) Assessment completed in the summer. Post-16 provision The local authority has a duty (Education Act 1996) to secure sufficient suitable education and training provision for all 16-19 year olds and to encourage, enable and assist young people to participate.
