I want you to learn something new every day and challenge yourself to do things that you didn’t think you could. I want you to build, create and design - to find your passions and get better at them. I want you to work hard every day and be determined to do well in everything you do - I want to see this shine through in how you behave in class, with your friends, at home, in the work that you do and in the results in your tests. In return you will get an education which you are proud of and that empowers you to be the best you possibly can be. You will be ready to continue your learning journey, wherever that may take you. ACADEMY REWARDS The Student Leadership Team (which consists of a head boy and head girl from each year group) decide year on year what they feel rewards should be for the coming year. Currently students achieve ‘positives’ in lessons and once a student has reached 120 positives they are able to attend `rewards` week. This takes place during the last week of the autumn term and also the last week of the summer term. Each year group has attendance and punctuality rewards and the best performing forms across the Academy during the term are awarded group rewards on a half termly basis. ACADEMY SUPPORT Working together to support success The Access to Learning team supports students to reach their full potential. Working alongside teachers and support staff, the A2L team provide support, advice and mentoring to young people and their families. We have strong links with outside agencies that also work with and support students. Working with Students At North Birmingham Academy we believe that all our students should fulfil their potential. We encourage and support them to remove barriers to learning, believe in themselves and pursue their aspirations. The A2L zone is a student friendly environment where we encourage our young people to access support and advice when needed. Our SENCO Rebecca Velarde and a team of staff work in partnership with outside agencies and we are able to offer the following services: Counselling Psychologist Mentoring Behaviour management workshops Pupil in school support services Learning support service Self-esteem workshops Positive choices Health Drop in - NHS Anti-Bullying advice – use of the SHARP system Numeracy support Literacy support Agencies: CAMHs, Communication Autism Team, City Of Birmingham Schools Working with Parents The academy is committed to developing a strong partnership with families and carers; therefore we have a dedicated family support worker within the A2L zone. We strongly encourage all parents and carers to take an active part in academy life and their child’s education. We offer: Family and parenting support Advise, information and guidance Sign posting for additional support Parent/carers engagement Ambassadorial Advisory Group (AAG) Our AAG is made up of people who share a great passion for our Academy. Led by a chairperson, AAG’s meet once per term, and will have at least two parent ambassadors elected to the group. They work closely with Headteachers, regional and national staff as well as our trustees, and focus on the four Cs Communication, Celebration, Complaints and Community. ACADEMY UNIFORM North Birmingham Academy has a policy that all students wear full Academy uniform. If it is adhered to by all, the students have a sense of belonging.

This approach means that teachers emphasise the importance of understanding the emotional and learning needs of their pupils and provide support in these areas, rather than focusing on the curriculum alone. The award was presented during this year’s Attachment Research Community Conference, a gathering of leading academics and practitioners in this area. “Winning this award is fantastic recognition for the team and what they have achieved over the last few years. This is an academy with a great team of people where children can come and feel safe and included. We are at the heart of our community,” said Headteacher Philip Lloyd. The academy, part of E-ACT multi-academy trust, received a rating of ‘Requires Improvement’ from Ofsted in 2016, and the proportion of disadvantaged pupils for whom the academy receives pupil premium is in the highest 20 per cent of state-funded schools nationally.
