    Prospectus 2020 …best lesson,AMBITION best day,DETERMINATION best year,RESPECT best future… Welcome to Walthamstow Academy Walthamstow Academy is a dynamic, thriving and successful academy at the centre of the local community. I believe that at the heart of our success are three key factors. The first is the dedication of our staff, who are all wholly determined to do whatever it takes to get the best possible outcomes for every single one of our students. This involves nurturing every child and tracking their progress to make sure that they are on track and that we are bringing out the best in them. 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. Third, at Walthamstow Academy we believe that there is no time to waste. We make the most of every day. For every minute of every lesson, we make sure that our students are happy, engaged and learning. They know they need to make the most of every opportunity they are offered and we want to be there to make sure they succeed. I want all our students to have hopes and dreams for the future that mean they are challenging themselves to be the best they can be.

The time has now come for you to take that important step and apply for your child’s secondary school place for September 2021. To make the process as easy as possible, West Sussex County Council encourages you to apply using the online application system at www.westsussex.gov.uk/admissions. All the information you need to help you through the process of applying for a secondary school place is in this booklet. Before completing your application, please take the time to read this important information. The frequently asked questions pages and the admission arrangements for schools may help you decide on the best secondary schools for your child. We recognise that this year has been an unusual year with schools taking additional precautions to ensure safety for both staff and pupils during the current pandemic. However, many schools are making arrangements for prospective parents to better understand the school and to determine whether the school is the right fit for your child. Arrangements for visiting schools or for finding more out about the school may be organised differently to the way schools have managed this previously.

  • Portsmouth Education Partnership (PEP) Careers Network Terms Of
    Portsmouth Education Partnership (PEP) Careers Network Terms of Reference 1. Introduction The group will support the implementation of the Portsmouth Education Strategy 2020-2023, contributing to the vision and overall themes of the strategy. Our vision as outlined in the Portsmouth Education Strategy is that through working together we can ensure that: All children and young people make good progress through education which sets high expectations for them, is infused with restorative high support and high challenge and which is supported through leading edge use of digital technology, empowering them to drive their own learning anywhere. A central theme of the PEP strategy is inclusion - creating an educational environment that is welcoming to all children and young people and not giving up on any child whatever their circumstances. The strategy will also have running through it a commitment to engage with schools and partners to develop and share anti-racism training and resources in response to Black Lives Matter. 2. Key purpose The key purpose of the Group is to provide a multi-agency forum which works collaboratively across the Portsmouth travel to learn area to support the development of careers education, information, advice and guidance in schools and colleges. 3. Key responsibilities The key responsibilities of the Group are to: a) Support the implementation of the Portsmouth Skills and Employability Strategy by developing the provision of careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) in schools and further education and ensuring schools have up to date information and relevant information about the post-16 curriculum offer, labour market information and the pathways to employment and higher education.
