Regal Estates 57 Castle Street, Canterbury, CT1 2PY 01227 763888 LOCATION Floor Plans Regal Estates 57 Castle Street, Canterbury, CT1 2PY 01227 763888 Energy LOCATION Performance Certificate Below is the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for Rowan Lea Energy Performance Certificates illustrate the energy efficiency of homes on a scale from A to G. Those in Band A are the most efficient, and will usually have the lowest fuel bills. The same scale is used to define the impact of a property on the environment. Higher rated homes will usually have less impact through carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. To put this in perspective, the average property in the UK is in band D or E for both ratings. The Certificate also makes energy saving recommendations that may help reduce future energy bills. In some cases, these can be financed under the Government's Green Deal. In effect, Green Deal offers UK home-owners a loan, which is repaid through regular electricity bills. The main loan condition (the "Golden Rule") is that the amount saved each year on energy bills should be more than the cost of annual loan repayments. Note that the loan stays with the house when owners move on.

Regal Estates 57 Castle Street, Canterbury, CT1 2PY 01227 763888 LOCATION Authorities Get to know your local authorities Local government directly affects quality of life, particularly when it comes to council tax, planning, waste disposal and the impact of local policies. You may want to investigate how this is likely to affect you if you decide to move. There are nearly 400 local authorities in England, with five different types of local government structure. These can be broadly divided into single-tier and two-tier authorities. Single-tier authorities are Metropolitan Authorities, London Boroughs and Unitary or Shire Authorities. Two-tier authorities have both a County Council, and a District Council or City Council. There are also around 10,000 parish and town councils, effectively creating an additional tier in some areas - mostly, but not exclusively, in rural areas. The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) represents and works on behalf of these community councils and is a useful contact point.

The Greenacre Sports Partnership Dance Fusion competition was held on Tuesday 28th March 2017 at Greenacre Academy. The competition saw 221 students, ranging from ages of 7-18 years old, participate from 18 different Primary and Secondary Schools within the partnership. Participants were able to choose their own style of dance, and they were judged for their creativity, skill and technique, personality, timing and overall performance. The results were as follows: Primary category: 1st: St Thomas More RC Primary School 2nd: St Michael’s RC Primary School 3rd: Danecourt Special School Secondary category: 1st: The Victory Academy Group 1 2nd: The Victory Academy Group 2 3rd: Fort Pitt Grammar School KS4 Group We were extremely fortunate to have some special guests to judge the competition. We welcomed Natalie Harris, Kent Sports Event Manager and who also coordinates the Kent School Games Cultural Celebration Event, which last year saw several Dance Fusion contestants perform. Secondly, we had none other than Strictly Come Dancing’s James and Ola Jordan!! All judges provided some fantastic feedback and hugely contributed to making the event a success! Furthermore, we were very grateful for the assistance of eighteen Greenacre Leadership Academy students, and five 6th form students, who supported the event by assisting with stage management, photography, welcoming and ticket collection, backstage management and chaperone duties. These pupils did an excellent job and we couldn’t have done the event without their additional support. The Dance Fusion competition would not have been possible if it wasn’t for the support of several partners.

The main points are summarised below: • Parents complete the Medway common application form (CAF) in accordance with the Medway Co-ordinated Admission Scheme. • The Local Authority will then act as clearing house for the administration of pupils’ preferences. Parents will be informed on 1 March 2021. • The school will also post to parents decisions of the governors on admission and details of the right of appeal against the governors’ decision. The school’s published admission number is 210. At Victory Academy we operate a 'Fair Banding' admissions process to ensure we have a balanced proportion of students from across the whole ability range - a comprehensive intake. Students who wish to apply for a place at Victory Academy must take a Fair Banding test to be considered for admission to the Academy and this will be required if their parents/carers intend to put Victory Academy on the common admissions form. This test is usually a cognitive ability test(s) – it is not a pass or fail test.

  • Annual Reports
    10.07.20 Dear Parents/Carers As we approach the end of term, we reflect on our year at school so far and turn our thoughts towards September. End of Year reports are ready and will be distributed at the start of next week, while it has certainly not been the school year we had planned for, I would like to thank all the members of the school community who have supported the continuation of learning over the last few months – whether online or in school. I know from talking to many parents and carers that supporting learning at home has been a challenge, but I am thankful for all the efforts you have made to support this. Towards the end of next week, we will send out further details about our plans for September. We will be welcoming all children in Years 1-6 back on Friday 4 September with our new Early Years pupils not starting until the following week. The safety measures we currently have in place will remain for September, with children continuing to be working within class ‘bubbles’. We will continue to review and amend plans over the summer and will re-send important information in the days before school re-starts. We are really looking forward to seeing everyone back on site again. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we carefully consider our plans for reopening. Kind regards, Mr C Murphy Headteacher Annual Reports Annual Reports will be sent home with the children who are attending school on Monday (including their siblings who may not be attending).

  • 1 Report by Bernadette Hancock on the Application of the Victory Academy to Become an Accredited Thinking School by the Cognitiv
    GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION College of Social Sciences & International Studies St Luke’s Campus Heavitree Road Exeter EX1 2LU Telephone +44 (0)1392 724917 Email [email protected] Web www.exeter.ac.uk/education Report by Bernadette Hancock on the application of The Victory Academy to become an accredited Thinking School by the Cognitive Education Development Unit, University of Exeter. Context The Victory Academy is a “rapidly improving school”1 in Chatham, Kent. It is a smaller than the average- sized mixed secondary school. It is in an area where there are grammar schools and as a result, whilst welcoming students of all abilities, the student body tends to have lower prior achievement. The school also has a greater number of students with special educational needs or disabilities than average and a higher number of students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. It is part of the ‘Thinking Schools Academy Trust’ led by The Rochester Grammar School which is a family of schools working together to "improve the life chances of all their children and young people.”2 Evidence Base The University of Exeter received the school’s submission from the Thinking Skills Co-ordinator, Ms Laura Gladstone, evidencing the school’s progress towards meeting the accreditation criteria. Victory Academy School began its journey towards becoming a ‘Thinking School in 2015 when it changed its name and became part of the Thinking Schools Academy Trust. The evidence presented on the school’s web site was well-organised and included pictorial evidence of displays and work showing how pupils apply and use the tools to enrich and enhance their learning.

    St John Fisher Catholic School Newsletter May 2018 @st_johnfisher@st_johnfisher www.stjohnfisher.school Dear Students, Parents and Carers, Paul - Year 12 It is with deep regret that I inform you that one of our Year 12 students, Paul, died Tuesday night in hospital. He was taken ill and was admitted to hospital in the evening, and passed away some hours later. As a school community, we have expressed our deep condolences and sincere sympathy to Paul’s family at this time and we will work with them to celebrate his life at a later stage. Paul was a vibrant, intelligent young man who was studying for 3 A levels in Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry with ambitions to be a doctor. I would ask you to join with the school community in remembering Paul and his family in your prayers and thoughts at the awful time for them, and would also ask for your prayers for our whole school community. Dear Readers, Welcome to the May Newsletter which reflects our vibrant, dynamic school. Examinations are well underway and I am immensely proud of how students are coping during such a stressful time. There is a busy programme of revision taking place over half term and I am extremely grateful to our wonderful staff who give up their holidays to work with students who are so positive about the help their teachers give them. We have been invited to take part in an exciting Year 6 into Year 7 project called “Enlightening Transition”. This is a project which involves creative organisations such as Royal Opera House Bridge, The Royal Dockyard and Ideas Institute.

  • Newsletter 25.09.20
    25.09.20 Dear Parents/Carers. We have reached the end of another week at school, the children are very settled and enjoying their learning each day- adapting well to the changes to routines. Hopefully you’ve received your new Seesaw codes and have been able to log-in to support your child’s homework. As I mentioned last week, we intend to continue to use Seesaw for setting homework each week, which will give you and the children lots of opportunities to become familiar with the app. If we ever find ourselves in a situation where we need to close a bubble, we would be using Seesaw to continue to provide education for the class while they were learning from home. It is therefore important that children, staff and parents are able to use the app, and we will continue to offer opportunities for children and staff to use it at school. I’ve sent an additional letter to parents and carers today regarding the usage of face coverings on site from Monday. All visitors to the school, including at pick-up and drop- off times will be expected to wear a face covering and we ask for your full co-operation in this matter. I feel this step is now necessary as we strive to ensure that the school site remains as safe as possible for the whole school community. Hope you all have a lovely weekend, Mr C Murphy Headteacher Diary Dates 26 September The Victory Academy Fair Banding Test (application deadline 11 Sept) 5 – 6 October Covid 19 contingency dates for Strood Academy Fair Banding Test 7 October Strood Academy Fair Banding Test (application deadline 25
