  • Admission to Year 7 Or Year 9 2021 a Guide for Parents and Carers
    Admission to Year 7 or Year 9 2021 A Guide for Parents and Carers This guide contains information to help you apply for a school place in Year 7 or Year 9 (secondary schools, studio schools and schools with an additional point of entry at Year 7 or Year 9) You can also visit our website: bcpcouncil.gov.uk/schooladmissions Introduction Introduction Welcome to our guidebook for parents and carers which has been designed to help you find the right school for your child whether your child is starting at a Secondary or Studio school, or moving school during the 2021-22 school year. It outlines what information we need from you, and what you can expect in return from us. Across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole we have 96 schools. The Council works in close partnership with them. The aspirations for our area are ambitious and include investing in our children and young people and enabling access to high quality education. We understand that moving up to Secondary or Studio school is an exciting experience for both children and parents. However, this transition can also be a challenging time for all as decisions are made about which schools to apply for - with this process then followed by the inevitable and anxious wait to see if the application has been successful. Similar to other areas, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council has experienced increased demand for school places due to rising birth rates and movement of families. We have adopted an overall strategy for the provision of school places which includes looking at options for additional capacity at existing schools and new school provision.

  • DEPUTY DIRECTOR - NORTH United Learning
    DEPUTY DIRECTOR - NORTH United Learning unitedlearning.org.uk WELCOME LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE Thank you very much for expressing interest in becoming a Deputy Director - North with United Learning. United Learning sets out to provide all children and young people with a broad and deep education which prepares them to succeed in life. We were founded 130 years ago to provide education for girls when it was in short supply, and the independent schools which started the Group remain an important part of it today. In the last 15 years, we have become one of the biggest academy groups in the country – still focusing on the original aims of the academy programme – turning around poor schools serving poor communities. As Deputy Director – North, you will have a central role in raising standards in our schools across the north. We are determined to raise attainment and ensure that children make exceptional progress. But we do not want this to be at the expense of a broad education, and are determined that all our schools offer a wide range of opportunities within and outside the classroom, developing character as well as intellect. So we are looking for a leader who shares our strong educational values, who has the highest expectations and who achieves great results but does so by putting children rather than performance indicators first. You will have a track record of success as a leader in secondary education, have the personal energy and confidence to raise standards working through other leaders and be effective in developing others and building teams.

Second, we are committed to raising ambition through very high expectations and a belief that every child can achieve great things if they have the opportunity, the drive and the support that they need. As a Ms Emma Skae result, our students have these expectations of themselves. They want to learn, they want to be successful Principal and they want to be proud. Our attendance is outstanding: students want to be here, they describe being BSc BEd MA NPQH part of Walthamstow Academy as like being part of a family.

  • College Open Evenings/Days During the 2016/2017 Year
    College Open Evenings/Days During the 2016/2017 Year School Sixth Forms It is important you explore all your options available to you. There are a larger number of sixth forms in Dorset, and therefore we are unable to include them all on this sheet. However sixth forms will also have open evenings where students and parents/ carers can find out more about the courses/ subjects on offer and the chance to speak to subject teachers. For your own school, you and your parents/carers will be informed as to when the open evening will be. If you are not sure when it is, do speak to your Form Tutor/Head of Year. Sixth Form Open Evenings are usually held in the autumn and spring terms. You can also apply to other schools with Sixth Forms. If you are not able to attend their open evening, don’t worry, contact the school and ask for a meeting with the Head of the Sixth Form. The dates and times of open evenings for Sixth Form Open Evenings will usually be advertised on each school website.

  • Newslines Autumn 09
    NEWSLINES More Records GCSE, A Level and IB The GCSE and A Level results were once again well beyond even our high expectations. Mrs Brook and her Year 11 team were instrumental in producing the best results at GCSE the School has ever experienced. 91% of our students achieved 5A* - C and 78% including English and Mathematics. This is way beyond the national and Dorset averages and placed the school once again near the very top of the league tables. These simple statistics hide a remarkable level of progress for our students in what is called CVA (Contextual Value Added). Put simply this is an indicator of the progress made by our students in terms of their levels of ability and other indicators. By this measure over 90% of our students made the expected progress of 3 levels in English and Mathematics. This is a remarkable achievement and reflects the over- all results in these two departments and the exceptional quality of teaching. At the same time this must not detract from superb results in Design, History and Geography, Modern Lan- guages, Science, Dance – the list goes on and on. If a school intends to achieve the level of achievement we always aspire towards it is vital that all departments perform well. Of course our statistics become even more impressive when one considers the number of students we en- ter for GCSE examinations (465) and that on average our students undertake 12.9 GCSE’s, three more than the average across Dorset. This is accomplished without any reduction in the levels of achievement, with A* and A grades well above all averages.
