Corporation Minutes 15 October 2019 1 Member requested a partnership update at a future meeting. R Kay confirmed that an update on partnerships would be within item 5 (The Principal’s Report). LF reported that next year the College would go out to tender for external auditors as this should be done every three years in order to gain best value for money.

He informed Members of the Corporation that at the 4+ threshold for mathematics and English, the Academy achieved the highest percentage since they opened. Members were also informed that the provisional Progress 8 score has risen to -0.09. There were improvements to both mathematics and disadvantaged students. There is still work that needs to be done in the performance at 5+ in mathematics and particularly around separate science and overall progress in English Literature, Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Both Hospitality and Catering and Social Care had disappointing results. A specialist subject leader in science from Fallibroome is working with the Macclesfield Academy to investigate and carry out a deep dive on the area. R Hedge stated that Health and Social Care has been removed from the curriculum for this academic year. There has been an ongoing problem within the Hospitality and Catering course and issues around quality but there has been changes in this area in order to improve outcomes. R Hedge stated that the Academy are working on making predictions more accurate. R Hedge informed Members that the Academy was preparing for the return Ofsted visit that could take place any day with a particular emphasis on curriculum intent and aligning the curriculum to future pathways. R Kay reiterated that the problems around mathematics and English have an impact on the College as they resit these qualifications at College but with less time and less funding. R Hedge confirmed that Macclesfield Academy continue to progress with discussions surrounding joining a Multi Academy Trust. The discussions surrounding the partner are confidential but the Academy is hopeful that due diligence will be completed in time to join the MAT in September 2020. M Sharples will continue to liaise with A Sutcliffe (Chair of the Macclesfield Academy Governors) and R Hedge. 65/19 Principal’s Report – 1 of 4 of the Annual Review document The Principal shared her Principal’s Report with Members in advance of the meeting.

  • Tedx Macclesfield
    Macclesfield 2018 www.tedxmacclesfield.com #TEDxMacc WELCOME TO TEDX MACCLESFIELD Lynne Jones and Jude D’Souza Organisers Thank you for joining us at the first ever TEDx Macclesfield! Our town has been undergoing a cultural renaissance in the last decade, which has helped put Macclesfield on the map. Musing about what the next step of that journey might look like, we realised that the TEDx talks we found so engaging could further energise the town by sharing big ideas in ways that could both educate and motivate. In addition to tackling existing issues with wit and insight, it provided an opportunity to highlight just how much amazing work is already taking place within our postcode! It has been nine months since the initial idea for the event you are about to be a part of. During that time, we have been on a whirlwind adventure delving into a wide range of topics, meeting an array of fascinating people and discussing all manner of intriguing ideas. None of this would have been possible without their enthusiasm, the generous support of our sponsors or the incredible talent, passion and dedication of our phenomenal volunteers. We hope that the talks will open your mind and change your perspectives, inspiring you to put new ideas into practice and perhaps come together to continue moving Macclesfield forward... WHAT IS TED? Ideas Worth Spreading TED is a nonprofit organisation devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 30 years ago, TED has grown to support its mission with multiple initiatives. The two annual TED Conferences invite the world’s leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes or less.
