However, the nature of our SEN students’ disabilities mean that high attendance levels (94%) for some students may not be a possible target, and each student is assessed and supported individually according to their specific (sometimes medical) needs. This support is with parents and outside professionals supporting the school’s work. Curriculum: * ‘pathways’ for SEN students have been created for Year 9, Year 10 and Year 11: the options of Curriculum Support, and ASDAN. There is additionally BTEC Work Skills. These groups feature small group teaching, allowing for some one-to-one provision, to meet students’ individual learning needs. In Curriculum Support, working with curriculum specialists and students’ mainstream teachers, there is over-learning of core subjects (English, Maths and Science), homework completion, nurture and life-skills, tailored to specific students’ needs, and in preparation for post-16 college provision; ASDAN as a vocational skills based course, equips students for skills in learning required for post-16 placement; * for a very small number of students from September 2018, English and RE teaching has taken place in SEN out from mainstream lessons, to allow for greater differentiation (with RE taught within the ASDAN syllabus); * development of ASDAN short course qualifications for students in the 7* and 8* groups; * Functional Skills to be taught in SEN in English and Maths, to be developed in 2020-2021; * RAW, Meadowbrook College and the City of Oxford College provision for one day a week vocational courses for a very small number of students; * the intention of a Y11 extended work placement for a very small number of students has been compromised by the effects of the Covid pandemic. It is hoped to be able to review this as soon as local conditions permit. Literacy interventions: SEND and non-SEND students have benefited from various literacy interventions from the literacy team; some students received longer interventions, over two long terms. These details are contained in the separate English Faculty Report. SEN students' progress: * details and analysis contained in the exams’ results provided for Governors. However, a clear focus is on identifying and managing the provision for under-performing cohorts, as jointly identified in on-going processes by SEN and pastoral and curriculum leaders. 3 * the below table shows that across the school, a proportion of students at School Support and EHCP are making progress. SEND students can learn at a slower rate, and their medical, and social conditions / family circumstances, can prevent consistent school attendance. 2019 SEND GCSE results analysis and actions 2017-18 outcomes 2018-19 outcomes No. of 2019-2020 outcomes SEND No. of Change in SEND SEND P8 Subject students non- SEND non- 2018-19 students 2018-19 - SEND SEND SEND SEND non- SEND SEND differ- SEND 2019-20 2019-20 P8 P8 difference P8 SEND difference P8 ence P8 P8 Art 0.60 0.55 0.05 0.08 1.18 -1.10 12 2.21 1.85 +0.36 +2.13 Biology 0.25 0.61 -0.36 0.54 0.88 -0.34 15 1.41 0.54 +0.87 +0.87 Business Studies -2.31 -0.97 -1.34 -0.54 0.65 -1.19 12 Chemistry 0.25 0.68 -0.43 0.54 0.88 -0.34 15 1.41 0.36 +1.05 +0.91 Computing no entries 0.04 0.48 -0.44 9 1.37 0.3 +1.07 +1.33 Product 7 -0.24 0.17 -0.41 Design DT -1.75 -1.20 -0.55 -0.43 -0.25 -0.18 -0.19 Food Tech -0.37 -0.27 -0.10 DT 0.05 0.38 -0.33 Textiles DT -0.90 -0.24 -0.66 -0.38 0.95 -1.33 2 Combined Science -0.06 -0.88 0.82 -0.46 -0.05 -0.41 46 Drama -1.29 0.37 -1.66 0.25 0.53 -0.28 8 -0.37 0.42 -0.79 -0.62 English Language -0.58 -0.11 -0.47 -0.21 0.54 -0.75 61 0.27 0.34 -0.07 +0.48 English Literature -0.60 -0.14 -0.46 -0.21 0.52 -0.73 61 0.16 0.1 -0.06 +0.37 French -0.78 -0.67 -0.11 0.05 1.06 -1.01 11 0.06 0.31 -0.25 +0.01 Geography -0.51 -0.39 -0.12 -0.01 0.57 -0.58 17 0.87 0.68 +0.19 +0.88 German 0.42 -0.61 1.03 0.27 0.00 0.27 3 0.26 0.59 -0.33 -0.01 History -1.23 -0.38 -0.85 0.19 0.55 -0.36 32 0.68 0.4 +0.28 +0.49 Maths -0.48 0.38 -0.86 -0.21 0.54 -0.75 61 0.43 0.65 -0.22 +0.64 Physics 0.57 0.37 0.20 0.54 0.88 -0.34 15 1.41 0.44 +0.97 +0.87 Spanish -1.53 -0.91 -0.62 0.22 0.59 -0.37 13 1.33 0 +1.33 +1.11 Music 2.09 -0.03 +2.12 Religious -0.35 0.22 +0.57 Education Double 0.76 0.45 +0.31 Science Double 0.32 0.17 +0.15 Science (1) Music Tech 0.35 0.78 -0.43 Sport BTEC 0.41 1.24 -0.17 4 (red = P8<-0.50) Underperformance of SEND students is a historic problem across the UK, and at Cheney. In 2018 the P8 score for Cheney students with an EHCP was -1.09 and the P8 score for SEN Support was -0.42. These figures do not particularly change year on year. In 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 our outcomes are considerably better than the national picture.

  • Business Engagement Framework
    OXFORD CITY COUNCIL BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT FRAMEWORK FINAL REPORT JUNE 2014 1 Executive Summary Oxford City Council commissioned this short report from Shared Intelligence through the Local Government Association Local Growth Adviser programme in order to provide advice on developing a comprehensive business engagement framework. Oxford is a major economic asset: the city is home to 4,100 businesses and contributes some £4.7bn to the national economy. The City is the service centre for the wider County economy and the location for most of the employment growth in Oxfordshire between 2001 and 2011. The Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership recently submitted its Strategic Economic Plan to government, outlining its ambition to improve business support to promote innovation based economic growth. Oxford, along with Bicester and Science Vale, is one of the three principal areas of economic growth within the LEP. The other two locations have mechanisms to support a strong business voice to represent their interests. A key priority for Oxford City Council is therefore to develop a strong understanding of local business priorities in order to represent their interests to the LEP and promote economic growth in the City. In this context, a business engagement framework should: • provide a structured approach to communication between the City Council and local businesses on economic development issues; • enable businesses to develop a strong voice to support their effective representation within the Local Enterprise Partnership; • clarify for businesses how and where they can express their views on economic growth and other issues; and, • facilitate the development of sector specific projects and programmes or discussions in support of economic strategies.

  • Banbury and Bicester College
    Sharing Innovative Approaches to Delivering 16-19 Study Programme Principles Banbury and Bicester College Enterprise and Employability “At the heart of our model for Study Programmes is the development of employability skills through the learning company concept.” Rose Turner, Principal Banbury and Bicester College is part of Activate Learning1, a group which combines secondary, further and higher education along with workforce training, commercial business and social enterprise. The Activate Learning group was formed in September 2013, following the merger of Oxford and Cherwell Valley College, and Reading College in 2010. The group comprises Banbury and Bicester College, City of Oxford College, Reading College and Activate Enterprise. Activate Learning has a chief executive officer; each college has a principal and Activate Enterprise a director. In 2012/13 the three colleges recruited around 14,500 learners, two thirds of whom were adults on part-time courses. Most learners, currently, are on foundation and intermediate programmes and the group have around 1,800 apprentices in five subject areas. Oxfordshire and Berkshire are affluent counties with rates of unemployment below national averages. However, across both counties, there are areas of educational and social deprivation and the profile of learners attending the colleges reflects this. GCSE attainment in local secondary schools is broadly at, or just below, national averages, and many learners come to study and train at the colleges with attainment below national averages. The proportion of the population of Oxfordshire and Berkshire from minority ethnic backgrounds varies from around 25% in Reading to below 5% in Banbury and Bicester. However, the proportion of learners from minority ethnic backgrounds in the colleges matches or exceeds these local proportions.

    HANBOROUGH GATE Long Hanborough, Oxfordshire Made for life. Join our legacy. Since 1927, Pye Homes has always taken the same pride in the homes and communities we have built in Oxfordshire. Although many things have changed in that time, our values have stayed the same, because so much of what was true then is still true today. We always take the same care in how we build, because that care ensures that your home is built to last. It means that everything about your home is perfectly placed, from the moment we lay the foundations, to the moment we open your door to show you around. By combining the best innovations in design and materials which have stood the test of time, we build in harmony with nature and the local legacy, so that new homes simply belong as part of a community, right from the start. It means always giving the same kind of personal care and integrity that our founder Jack Pye would recognise and be proud to acknowledge with his famous handshake. Those values, and that same regard for legacy, has led us to join with Blenheim and to make our commitment to their Legacy Principles. Together we share a desire for progress alongside a deep-rooted sense of place and enduring connection to our neighbours and local communities. Pye Homes. Made for life. 2 3 “Unlike many new developments, Hanborough Gate has been thoughtfully designed with plenty of green spaces and a feeling of openness which was important to us. It is also in a wonderful location being close to numerous walks through villages, woods and along the riverside.
