2. To continue improve progress in KS5 across all subject areas

Success Criteria

40% of entries at an average grade of B+; a positive value-added score (0.2 –) Autumn Term

Evidence from Data

Commentary

** In 2109 we ran a double sport course (2 equivalent A Level grades) and a triple HSC course (3 equivalent A Level grades) so these data are skewed accordingly.

Those data listed above are subject to the following explanatory notes:

- There is a tendency to overpredict, the variance of last-progress cycle prediction to actual results in the summer lies at around 10% average annually. In short, one would expect between 5-10% drop in performance at each iterative grade point (indicative results for 2023).

- A value-added measure is a more accurate mechanism to discern Sixth Form Progress, with the enhanced academic profile of our students, the outcomes in 2022 look like a substantial improvement (and there are elements of this). However, it would still be likely to return a negative value-added score, as they did (negligibly) in 2019.

- The attainment outcome would likely lie at between C+ and B- on current performance. The value-added score, with the data above, would render a positive outcome.

- The only Applied General subject we offer is Criminology. This performs well and has done so since we made the decision to run it in 2020. The absence of results in 2019 reflects this.

- Vocational subjects continue to perform well, the offer of additional vocational subjects to improve outcomes generally is being considered. On that note, it must be stated that in 2109 we ran a double sport course (2 equivalent A Level grades) and a triple HSC course (3 equivalent A Level grades) so these data are skewed accordingly.

The Supporting Data for the predictions above can be found in the latest progress cycle (March 2023). These have been adapted to take account of overprediction, when holistically compared to previous years’ data.

Comment

Attendance remains a whole school priority. An investment from the academy into improving attendance has been made with the addition of an engagement officer into the attendance team. The academy remains above national and local averages based on information from the DFE, however much work remains to be done to reach pre covid levels.

Success Criteria

To reduce the number of pupils who are persistent absentees from 28.4% in 2022/2023 to 26% or less in 2023/2024

4. To improve the behaviour of pupils who challenge the academy’s ethos

Behaviour and Attitudes received RI in the latest Ofsted report. Much work has been done to ensure behaviours and routines for students are refined, simplified and rewarded when positive. Consistency in staffing remains a priority. Expectations have been heightened in the last 12 months with the non-completion of extended learning/ homework being recorded which has increased behaviour data. The academy’s lesson one programme supports the students’ ability to self-regulate and reflect with the PSHE, character development and personal development curriculums all delivered in this time.

A range of support is in place for students struggling to adhere to the Academy’s expectations. The academy has many trained ELSAs offering support as well as a MHSP and a school nurse on site. The Academy’s multi layered approach to supporting students with SEMH is bespoke with interventions including external agencies like Corner House.

The Academy works alongside many outside agencies when supporting our most challenging students including Tiger’s Trust and KIDS. Our Diamond pathway provides students with a bespoke support package with a high staff: student ratio in an attempt to re integrate students back into our mainstream provision.

Many positive relationships with other Hull schools are in place enabling us to offer manage moves to students who have been repeatedly suspended from the academy. This provides students with a circuit breaker/ fresh start to correct behaviour choices. Although success rates for MM are low, some success has been seen.
