Padgate Academy Joins Tcat Autumn 2018 | www.tcat.uk.com | Issue 4 PADGATE ACADEMY JOINS TCAT Padgate Academy – formerly The University Academy Warrington (UAW) – was given permission to transfer to TCAT by the Government on December 1. Pupils have designed a new badge for the school that will now benefit from being part of the successful trust, which also includes Beamont, Bridgewater, Sir Thomas Boteler Church Of Engand High School and Penketh high schools. “This was the right move for Padgate Academy and one that I am sure will benefit both our children and staff,” said head teacher Misia Barclay. “The pupils were excited about designing a new badge for the school because it will be their lasting legacy. Our goal is to raise standards and ensure the school remains rooted in the local community.” Padgate pupils will not notice any difference in the day-to-day running of the school and will continue to wear the same uniform. However, they will now have the chance to take part in activities such as the TCAT Parliament, more educational visits and benefit from industrial links with companies such as United Utilities, Barclays and Solvay. The school will create a local governing body for parents and staff while teachers and managers at Padgate Academy will have access to the TCAT School Improvement Hubs where they will work with colleagues to share the best practice. Matthew Grant, CEO of TCAT and Principal at Priestley College, said: “When it was set up TCAT became one of the biggest and most inclusive academies in the country and having Padgate on board continues that theme. “It makes the transition and support between primary school, high school and college as seamless as possible and therefore gives pupils an even greater chance of fulfilling their potential.” TCAT MUSIC CONCERT The TCAT Concert was held on Friday 19th November at The Parr Hall in conjunction with the River Reeves foundation. Performers from all the TCAT institutions wowed the audiences from start to finish. To be able to showcase the talent within the TCAT collectively was a clear demonstration of how TCAT staff and students are all working together across all the phases in true collaboration. The Parr Hall was at capacity and it was a pleasure to see the students all cheering and supporting each other. Events such as this are testimony to the young people, their abilities and confidence in performing. It also enabled them to have a platform where they can work side by side and celebrate the diverse range of musical opportunities across the trust. It was also great that the TCAT Parliament were on hand to meet and greet all the Parents, Carers and Families. Again, another demonstration of how the young people are working together. They are doing a huge amount of work on Plastic and are really making a difference in terms of awareness and recycling within Warrington. The concert is just one of the many collaborative aspects of TCAT and that this feeds into their vision of “nurturing challenging and inspiring young people to achieve their very best for themselves and their communities”. HAVE YOU VISITED US ONLINE YET? tcat.uk.com TCAT Parliament havePARLIAMENT been busy this past term with supporting the TCAT Concert at the Parr Hall. Members of Parliament enjoyed welcoming guests to the evening. In the last meeting, students were given a talk by Amelia Cullen, Deputy Head Girl at Sir Thomas Boteler Church of High School on Youth Parliament. She made the group more aware of Youth Parliament and what its role is alongside Parliament. Students learnt how to get involved and which positions they can apply for in Youth Parliament. They also looked at what projects Youth Parliament are involved in at the moment. They also got to listen to a rehearsal for the TCAT concert during their break where many of them were taking part. Parliament then continued to establish their work on ‘single use plastic’ and a way forward in establishing this in their own schools. TCAT STAFF FIGHT FOR THE BIGGER FIGHT AGAINST CANCER Two members of TCAT staff – Ian Farrar from Penketh High School, and Alice Roberts from Sir Thomas Boteler Church of England High School both recently competed in an Ultra White Collar Boxing event, to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. They both trained for many weeks leading up to the event, then the big night was on the 17th November at Halliwell Jones. There were 27 fights taking place in total; and Ian and Alice (though not fighting each other!), were both in the Blue Team: significant as both Boteler and Penketh’s colours are blue! Between them they raised £707 for Cancer Research UK. HAVE YOU VISITED US ONLINE YET? BEAMONT COLLEGIATE ACADEMY NEWS EDUCATE STEM AWARD A pioneering partnership to make Warrington a hotbed for new engineering talent has picked up a top NW education award. Beamont Collegiate Academy’s 16-week link-up with water company United Utilities gave 64 young teens a yearning for learning and earned a prestigious Educate Award in a ceremony at Liverpool Cathedral on November 16. The Masterclass initiative was named as Educate’s top school science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) project after interest in engineering among participants soared. The project – which pitted teams against each other to solve a real-life engineering conundrum – is now being repeated with an emphasis on attracting girls into science. Around two thirds of the youngsters recruited for this year’s masterclass are female. United Utilities social impact manager Lynn Johnson said eight teams of Year 9 and 10 pupils from Beamont, Bridgewater, Sir Thomas Boteler and Penketh high schools worked weekly with the company’s graduate engineers. Their challenge was to devise a scheme to find and pipe water from the Cumbrian fells to a fictitious new community centre in Coniston. “It was a great project for us as well as the students. The two winning teams spent a day with us at our sewage works in Davyhulme, Manchester, which is home to some of our most advanced engineering,” she said. “When the project finished nearly two thirds of the participants said they had much more interest in pursuing engineering as a career and it helped some of our engineering graduates in their professional development as well.” Masterclass was the brainchild of TCAT Leaders Keiron Powell and Chris Hillidge, who approached United Utilities and Engineering lead, Jimmy Ingman, was invited to spend a week at the company’s HQ at Lingley Mere touring engineering disciplines and talking to experts. BEAMONT COLLEGIATE ACADEMY NEWS It was put together on behalf of The Challenge Academy Trust (TCAT) which incorporates the four participating schools and Beamont Collegiate Academy – the UK’s only STEM Assured Status high school. Principal of BCA, Mr Andrew Moorcroft said ‘Working with a leading water supplier like United Utilities was a huge bonus. The project we generated is the first of its kind from within any multi academy trust nationwide, that set out to develop industry-led, education-inspired project-learning from across the various STEM disciplines. The award is the icing on the cake,” he said. United Utilities’ Engineering Delivery Director Richard Ratcliff said: “It’s vital to stay connected with young people, keeping them informed about the range of science and engineering opportunities available to them. Over 45% of students said they were more interested in a STEM related career as a result of being involved. That for me is a real result.” “Beamont Collegiate Academy are dedicated to STEM with inspirational projects, trips & opportunities, amazing children & clubs and awesome staff that go above & beyond. Congratulations!” – All About STEM. Warrington Fablab have been involved in many exciting projects which have drawn local and national media attention. In yet another exciting and innovative project, Fab Lab staff are working with Lee Mcstein, an expert in ancient Egyptian historic monuments and 3D scanning and printing. The team are working on producing a unique exhibition combining objects from Mrs Goodison’s collection with masterpieces from the UK and international collections which will be exhibited in Southport. Evoking the bustling Egyptian tourist scene of the 1890s, loans of sketches, letters, and objects will link Mrs Goodison with pioneering female collectors, writers, and excavators, including Amelia Edwards, founder of the Egypt Exploration Society. Within this collection is an incomplete (damaged) artefact from an ancient Egyptian artist. We will be working with Lee McStein to complete a restoration of this artefact – complete a detailed CAD drawing and 3D printing this so both old and new parts can be combined for the first time to give the audience the experience of the complete object. Mr Ingman, Fablab manager told us ‘this is one of the first historic commissions we as a Fab Lab have been able to be part of. This is an amazing idea that completes and restores old historic monuments and artefacts that are damaged/ incomplete using completely new technologies including 3D printing.’ “Beamont Collegiate Academy are dedicated to STEM with inspirational projects, trips & opportunities, amazing children & clubs and awesome staff that go above & beyond. Congratulations!” – All About STEM. STUDENT LEADERSHIP @ BCA Earlier this term, members of the BCA Student Parliament facilitated sessions at the ‘Heads Up’ conference held at the Halliwell Jones stadium. The ‘Heads Up’ conference promotes positive mental health amongst young people in Warrington and was attended by local secondary schools. The students gave up their own time to be trained over several weeks by the Warrington Wolves Young trustees with the project culminating in the conference. BEAMONT COLLEGIATE ACADEMY NEWS Neill Kelly, Foundation Director at Warrington Wolves will be providing individual evaluations to the leaders over the coming weeks.
