Academy Ethos and Values At Chatham Grammar School for Girls (CGSG) we offer our students a wide variety of stimulating and motivating opportunities to achieve outstanding academic outcomes. Leadership, self-belief and confidence are key values for CGSG. We strive for academic excellence balanced with health and wellbeing ensuring that our young women aspire to achieve and be the best that they can be; future leaders equipped for a demanding fast paced modern world. We focus on developing high-quality thinking, learning and communication skills, to build firm and secure foundations for our young women to enjoy invigorating, positive and successful lives. CGSG is a supportive, friendly place, which fosters excellent and secure relationships between students and staff – our young people are happy,

Students from primary school enter Year 7 and are submerged into new areas of learning and exploration through the unique bespoke UoK Transitions experience – offered only to students at CGSG. Year 7 students follow the same curriculum through to Year 8 where they study a challenging and engaging programme including core subjects: English, Maths, Separate Sciences, English Baccalaureate (EBacc) subjects and an Arts Carousel. In Year 7, we begin the journey to success by discovering the individual talents of our students through our new, exciting Leadership Development programme, which embraces the 7 Habits of Learning. Mindfulness is woven into the Leadership Development programme and students follow the ten week nationally recognised Mindfulness in Schools .b course – bringing focus and attention to students’ learning. Year 9 students embark on their GCSE courses, by following a core curriculum consisting of English, Maths and Separate Sciences giving them the opportunity to achieve the English Baccalaureate. Key skills are developed through our bespoke Personal Tutoring pathways. These skills include: interdependency

and leadership skills, problem-solving, employability skills, personal effectiveness, self-discipline and collaborative (team) and independent skills and employability skills. We aim to engage students’ curiosity and imbue in them a love for learning, and a passion to be the best they can be. Learning In a world where technology has become faster and more intuitive we understand and recognise the importance of using technology to expand the learning experiences of our young woman. We know that we need to prepare our students for a future where technology is undoubtedly the fastest growing industry worldwide. Students at CGSG will be offered an iPad through the affordable scheme unique to the Academy. We believe that mobile devices are without a doubt tools for 21st century learning. iPads enable learning to becomes limitless, exploratory and creative – enriching learning so that students can seek answers, investigate and learn with energy and passion. The pace for our higher level learners is fast and our students know that they can push the boundaries of experiential learning with a swipe of a screen and the touch of a button when they have an iPad alongside the traditional tools of pens, paper and books.

confident and resilient. The Curriculum

The curriculum is delivered through different stages of learning with the added rigour of new University led curriculum programmes offered through the Lead Sponsor, the University of Kent.

Assessments All students are assessed throughout the year. Parent and carers receive three progress reports that detail the outcomes of these assessments. Homework In Year 7 students complete homework in several subjects with a timetable in place to ensure there is an even spread of homework assignments across the curriculum. Homework support clubs are available in the library at the end of the Academy day. Learning in the UKAT Sixth Form The UKAT Sixth Form is progressive, forward thinking, challenging and enables students to build on their Level 2 GCSE successes. Students are offered a broad and exciting range of learning pathways, where students achieve excellent Level 3 qualifications securing places at top Universities across the UK. The unique UKAT Sixth Form offer connects our post-16 students with a wide range of University programmes and undergraduate facilities, based at the Medway Universities campus. This groundbreaking partnership with the University of Kent enables the Academy to offer exclusive and bespoke

Technology is pivotal to our students’ learning but will never replace the value and importance of traditional learning methods at CGSG. Students engage in lessons through a variety of rich and varied mediums of teaching styles to ensure that communication skills both written and oral, are embedded as they remain crucial for life long learning. Learning can also be accessed via Edmodo, the Academy’s Virtual Learning Platform. This is especially important for home study assignments or if a child is unwell and unable to come into school, but well enough to work at home. Teaching Methods At the Academy, a range of teaching strategies are employed to ensure that all students are motivated to learn. Lessons are challenging and fast-paced so that students are stretched and reach their full potential. Staff engage in and lead regular training and development sessions, which enables us to be at the forefront of new educational theory and best practice to ensure that the methods we employ are the most effective for student progression. Students are also encouraged to be active leaders of learning, debating, expressing their views and opinions in an open but structured way.

opportunities to engage with Higher Education, unlike any other provider. Curriculum input by the University of Kent lecturers and undergraduates, along with study skill support and unparalleled access to the University of Kent facilities, means that Academy students gain an exclusive insight into the world of Higher Education. Through our innovative careers service, we also promote and encourage students to consider the world of work and pursue dynamic employment pathways in the ever-changing world of work. Careers Careers education takes time, but the end result can be thoroughly rewarding for every student. We regard student preparation for the world of work as a shared responsibility, helping each other to achieve mutual goals. This means we have our own CGSG Academy Careers Adviser who works closely with experts from the Medway Youth Trust and together we provide first class careers support for all students as they plan for their future. To find out more, students can use our extensive array of resources about their chosen career, or use it as an ‘ideas bank’ if they remain undecided and need some extra help in making one of their most important life decisions.

| Chatham Grammar School for Girls

These resources can be found in the quiet study room, including prospectuses and computerised databases, all of which are continually updated and monitored to ensure only the best possible advice is available. Arrangements for Sport The Physical Education and Health Programme offers students the opportunity to participate in a variety of sporting activities designed to develop the physical, mental, social and moral capabilities of every student. All students are expected to fully engage and participate in the wide range of sporting activities on offer at the Academy. Sporting activities are also offered in the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE). Sports clubs and fixtures are extensive at the Academy and we have many high performing students participating in sports competitions across Kent and Medway. This year CGSG was awarded the School Games Mark Silver Award for 2017/18 for the impressive range of different sporting activities and clubs on offer at CGSG. Assembly, Collective Worship and Religious Studies The Academy values the diversity of religious and spiritual beliefs, whether they

are Christian, Islamic, Humanist, Agnostic or Atheist understandings of existence. The Academy provides an education underpinned by respect for the Earth and all people. This includes the discussion of religious, moral, spiritual and ethical issues to encourage participation of all students from all backgrounds and faiths. Religious Studies, where taught, is based on the Medway Agreed Syllabus. Parents/ carers have the right to withdraw their children from Religious Studies and should inform the Principal in writing with reasons based on religious grounds. The Academy also has links with the local churches and has celebrated seasonal events such as carol concerts. Sex Education It is Academy policy that sex education is provided for all students and that it is taught in such a manner as to encourage students to have due regard to the moral considerations and value of family life. The context and teaching is appropriate to the maturity of the students concerned and acknowledges the need to provide sound advice about personal relationships including sexual matters. Discussion is balanced and objective. The Academy is ready to discuss fully and sensitively with parents/carers any particular concerns they may have and

will make available to them any teaching materials being used so that they may peruse them. Students with an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) Student needs, as described in the Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP), are addressed from the delegated budget, and generally take the form of additional pastoral support or access to external support such as ASD outreach groups, with either a member of the Senior Leadership Team, a specific teacher or an individual tutor. An annual review is held to determine whether an EHCP needs to be maintained or ceased. At key times of change, as students move from one phase of learning to another, a transitional review is convened to introduce the student to a Careers Adviser, who can offer guidance and advice regarding the student’s future hopes and plans. Students without an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) Under the (revised) Code of Practice for Special Educational Needs, those students who are provided with interventions that are additional to, or

responsibility for their own actions. However, it is necessary on occasion for students to be disciplined and sanctions applied on a tiered basis. The Academy is quite clear with students about behavioural expectations. This rationale is based on the resolve that learning cannot be interrupted or disturbed by misbehaviour from any student. Sanctions include withdrawal of privileges, detentions and, in severe cases, referral to the Isolation Room (IR), a fixed-term exclusion (FTE) or a permanent exclusion (PE). The Academy can legally detain students on the same day without parental notification for a period of up to 30 minutes, even when parents/carers object. However, where possible, the member of staff setting the 30 minutes no-notification detention will endeavour to contact the parent/carer, but this is not usually possible due to staff teaching commitments. Staff allow students to call their parents/carers at the start of the detention, or students can ring home during the Academy day. The onus is on the student to tell their parents/carers about the detention. Detentions are given for breaches of the Academy Code of Conduct. Failure to attend the detention will incur a further sanction.

become inquisitive independent learners, able to overcome barriers and difficulties. The general welfare and discipline of the young women at CGSG is the responsibility of all staff and our Personal Tutoring programme underpins the safety and happiness of our students on a daily basis. The Personal Tutors build a strong relationship with each of their students monitoring students’ academic progress and social development with a focus on encouragement and rewards. This ensures a high level of self-discipline and builds awareness for others. Wellbeing is key to the success and development of our young women at the Academy and we believe that a healthy mind will lead to students feeling positive, enthused and excited about their learning. Mindfulness is delivered through the Leadership Development programme in Year 7 and Year 8 and booster programmes are offered to key year groups such as Year 11 in preparation for their exams. Code of Conduct and Discipline The ethos of the Academy is built around the Academy Code of Conduct, which encourages students to take

different from, those provided as part of the Academy’s differentiated curriculum, are identified as having SEN support. They may have the involvement of outside agencies, such as the Educational Psychology Service, the Education Welfare Service, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service and a dedicated Student Advocate. Able and Talented Students As a UKAT academy our students are offered a multitude of cutting edge interventions by the University of Kent that stretch, challenge and motivate our most able learners. Participation in the Academy’s clubs programme will enrich students’ achievements and widen their horizons such as the nationally recognised LAMDA awards. At CGSG we believe that all students have the potential to be great and we encourage our young women to find their individual talents and develop them both inside and outside the Academy. Personal Development And Wellbeing Community and inclusivity are at the heart of what drives CGSG and we have key interventions and support mechanisms in place to ensure that our students feel safe, cared for and empowered to

Leadership Points and Rewards

Admissions The Academy is a selective school, admitting students who have been assessed as suitable for a grammar school in the Medway or Kent Test (11+). In September 2019 the Academy will offer 180 places for entry into Year 7. Students must reach the age of 11 during the year 1st September to 31st August immediately preceding entry to the Academy. Medway Children’s Services, via primary Headteachers, distribute relevant information and forms to parents/carers of Year 5 students in June. These forms should be returned to the primary school Headteacher. Parents/carers seeking a place at the Academy must register their child for the Medway or Kent Test (11+) at the end of Year 5 in order for them to sit the test at the beginning of Year 6, which is in early September, the year preceding entry. If there are more applicants than the number of places available, then the places will be allocated according to the following criteria: 1. Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) students and those children in public care.

The Academy believes in celebrating and promoting positive achievements for all students. Students are awarded leadership points for success in the following areas: Points are allocated by staff and are recorded in their planners. Anti-bullying Bullying is defined as the wilful and conscious desire to hurt, threaten or frighten another person. It includes physical assault, derogatory name-calling, insults, graffiti, threatening others, inciting others to bully and theft of or threatening to steal property. Bullying is neither condoned nor overlooked. Parents and carers, staff and governors are all active participants in the maintenance of a harmonious environment. Everyone has the right to work and move around the Academy, feeling safe in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Students are encouraged to report any incidents of bullying and we aim to equip them with the skills and confidence to do this. A range of procedures relating to both victim and offender have been developed. The Academy promotes mediation as a way forward in resolving issues between students. Anyone can report bullying by speaking to their Personal Tutor, or by emailing refernow@chathamgirlsgrammar.medway. sch.uk.

The Academy seeks to value the work of all students and to praise and reward them wherever possible. This helps to raise self-esteem and motivate students. Students in Years 7 and 8 receive leadership points throughout the year. These are gained by demonstrating the application of one or more of the 7 learning habits throughout their learning at the Academy (core principles of the Leadership Development Programme). Leadership points can be accrued through class work, academic achievement, attendance, progress and attainment, participation in clubs, community service, positive representation through participating in key roles such as Safety Ambassadors, and membership of the Student Voice. Leadership points translate into Bronze, Silver and Gold certificates. There are also prestigious awards for those with the most leadership points, including Leader in Me certificates presented by the University of Kent in a leadership awards ceremony and the possibility of events such as breakfast with the Principal. Students in Years 9, 10 and 11 gain merit cards and these translate into rewards at the end of the year, including trips.

Home–Academy Partnership We work very closely with parents and carers to ensure our students gain maximum benefits from their time at the Academy. It is vital to have open and purposeful dialogue with parents and carers – not only through formal consultation but also through telephone contact, regular evening meetings, focus groups, email and by conducting surveys with our parent/ carer community. We have a Home–Academy Agreement in which we offer a quality standard of response in return for parental commitment. Parents and carers and the Academy are expected to sign this agreement on entry in Year 7 as a commitment to one another to work in partnership. Regular Academy news stories and updates are available via our electronic newsletter that is also available on our website and via social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, to ensure our parents and carers and students are in touch with the life and work of the Academy.

All unsuccessful applicants will be invited to remain on the waiting list pending a vacancy and will be informed of their right to appeal. If you have any questions or would like any further information about our Admissions at Chatham Grammar School for Girls, please contact Penny Walshe the Admissions Manager by email at admissions@chathamgirlsgrammar. medway.sch.uk or via telephone 01634 851262. We believe that primary and secondary schools should work in unison and we have developed a number of key initiatives and partnership projects such as our Amazing Brains tour – educating younger students about their brains, how they function and how mindfulness can be a useful tool to quiet the chattering mind. On entry to the Academy all our Year 7 students take part in a bespoke transitions project organised and lead by the University of Kent. Parents and carers and students are also invited to a new entrants’ evening in July where staff are available to provide parents and carers with up to date information in preparation for their child’s start the following September.

Students in Years 9 and above are also able to enjoy activities such as the Combined Cadets Force (CCF) and the established and nationally recognised Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE). Adult and Family Learning Our strength and success depend on the partnerships we forge with our community. The Academy offers parents and carers at CGSG the opportunity to participate in a range of adult learning experiences working in partnership with the University of Kent. Please see our website for further information regarding our adult and family learning programmes.

Term Dates 2018 – 2019 Up to date annual term dates are posted on: www.chathamgirlsgrammar.medway. sch.uk/term-dates/ Attendance The Academy aims to achieve a higher attendance figure than the national average. Regular attendance is absolutely vital for our students if they are to be successful within the Academy. Attendance registers are taken every lesson. Whenever a student is absent, a note explaining the absence is necessary upon return to the Academy. If the student is likely to be away for a few days, the Attendance Team must be informed by telephone and an explanation note provided upon their return to the child’s Personal Tutor. The Academy always contacts parents/carers immediately by text if a child is away without a known reason or if truancy is suspected. The Academy employs its own Attendance Team who carries out home visits where necessary. Failure by students to attend the Academy may lead to prosecution. It is in the students’ interests to attend regularly to ensure they meet with exam success. The Academy cannot give permission for any student to miss lessons during term time other than for medical reasons. This

Chatham Grammar School for Girls Performance Data 2018

2018 Chatham Grammar School for Girls Key Stage 4 GCSE (or equivalent) Provisional Results Total number of Year 11 students on roll 100 Percentage of students gaining grade 4+ in English and Maths 99% Progress 8 Measure (2018) +0.6 Attainment 8 measure A (average GCSE grade 7 or equivalent to grade A GCSE) Progress 8 aims to measure a student’s academic progress from Key Stage 2 (end of primary school) to Key Stage 4 (end of Year 11). It is a type of value added measure, which means that students’ exam results are compared to the actual achievements of other students with the same prior attainment. Every increase in every grade a student achieves will equal additional points. National data is used to compare individual students performance with other students across the country who also had the same starting point. Each school/academy will get an overall score – getting an overall Progress 8 score of zero (0) means the students got the grades they should have – par performance. A score of more than zero (e.g. +0.25) means the students have made more than expected progress. A minus score (e.g. -0.2) means that students have made less progress than they should have. An Ofsted could be triggered if a school gets less than -0.5 (minus 0.5). Attainment 8 aims to measure the achievement of students across their highest 8 grades. The grades are then added together to come up with a point score. Each grade is worth so many points i.e. grade 7 is equivalent to an A grade and grade 4 is equivalent to C grade. The 8 grades counted must include English and Maths (which count double) plus three GCSEs from the following academic subjects – Science, Modern Foreign Language, Geography or History, plus 3 other GCSEs that are on an approved government list of qualifications. A student will now leave secondary school with their GCSE qualifications and an Attainment 8 (or average) GCSE score.
