We are a one and a half form entry primary school for ages 2 -11, in the London Borough of Islington. In 2013 we were named “National Primary School of the Year” in the Pupil Premium Awards. Our school motto “Excellence for all, excellence from all” reflects our high aspirations and ambitions for children and there is a driving determination to ensure that all pupils and adults in the school reach their full potential. We are not complacent by any means and are continually looking for ways in which we can improve the school further. Pakeman is a happy and inclusive school of which our children are proud. We want them to have special and happy memories of their time at Pakeman. We expect high standards of behavior and manners, and children fill a range of leadership roles across the school. We offer a rich and varied curriculum and, in our last inspection, Ofsted noted that provision for music, art, physical education, and information and communication technology (ICT) are particular strengths. We are committed to delivering an exciting and inspiring curriculum. We have updated our schemes of work to reflect the content and challenge of the new curriculum. Our curriculum is taught with the consideration of the needs of all learners. We place a high emphasis on basic skills and as a result, our children achieve well. We aim to produce well-rounded children who can play a positive part as tomorrow’s citizens. During the year we have theme weeks, such as Arts Week and Science Week, which allow children to develop their skills in a more focused way. There are also educational trips that reinforce the learning taking place in the classroom. We have visits from a range of experts in their field -for example, musicians, historians, and artists. Our vision is of Pakeman Primary as an outstanding school which: Is optimistic, reflective, ambitious, and relentless in its drive for continual improvement and excellence Is a challenging, stimulating, and rewarding place for children and staff to learn, work, and enjoy themselves Supports children to be happy, curious, positive, resilient, and healthy young people, with high self-esteem and self-belief, who love to learn, contribute fully, and achieve well Offers an attractive, safe, stimulating environment for teaching, learning, and play, and is well organized, staffed, and managed to achieve the highest standards Is inclusive and rights-respecting, with high aspirations and ambition for all pupils, enabling every pupil to make the very best progress and achieve the very best results they are capable of Recognizes and celebrates success and where happy memories are created Provides full and genuine equality of opportunity for all Has the full confidence of parents and carers who work with the school in a positive partnership and are involved in decisions affecting their children’s education and learning Celebrating Success - We find that one of the most effective ways to encourage children to learn and to behave well in school is through praise and the celebration of their successes. Achievement Assemblies - We have fortnightly achievement assemblies in which each class teacher makes a nomination of children who have made an outstanding achievement, in either academic or social terms, within their class. Parents are invited to assemblies to see their children being awarded a certificate. “Pakeman Oscars”, given to children who have made a significant effort over time. Children’s successes and achievements are recognized in many other ways at Pakeman. At Pakeman we take a whole school approach to the promotion of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social, and cultural education as we recognize that it plays a significant role in children’s ability to learn and achieve. We, therefore, aim to provide an education that provides children with opportunities to explore and develop: Their values and beliefs their spiritual awareness Their high standards of personal behavior A positive, caring attitude towards other people An understanding of their social and cultural traditions An appreciation of the diversity and richness of their cultures At Pakeman, we teach pupils about British Values which are defined as: Democracy The rule of law Individual liberty Mutual respect Tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs We aim to develop and broaden the range of children’s learning experiences, to leave them confident, eager, and enthusiastic learners who are looking forward to school. We hope to play our part by treating your child as an individual and offering him/her a variety of experiences and activities which are designed to further their development process. Much of the children’s learning will be through play where children are offered a range of activities each with an underlying educational purpose. Play is how the children explore a variety of experiences in different situations for a variety of purposes. It is a process that provides for children a way of learning about the world around them.

Pupils have access to secure outside areas for play, trampoline areas, cookery room, gardening area, an interactive sensory room, a soft play- room, an ICT suite, and a hall. The off-site provision includes Lady Allen Adventure Playground, Putney swimming pool, visits to the local area (e.g. shops), and trips on the Fun Bus. Pupils have individual termly curriculum goals and they are also set targets on their IEPs which address their barriers to learning. The Secondary School consists of 9 classes and each class has a class teacher and a support staff team. The classes are named after tube lines to reflect our location in London and our pupils' love of the transport system. In the Key Stage 3 and 4 Departments, the students continue to work from individual programs of identified learning targets, devised to meet their specific educational needs. A modern foreign language (currently French) is introduced at Key Stage 3, for pupils for whom it is appropriate. Although the structure of the classes and organization of the day is very different at the Secondary level, strategies and teaching methods, which have been used successfully in the Primary Department, for example, PECS and TEACCH, will continue throughout the school. Separate subject teaching is introduced for some of the classes in the Secondary Department.

Established in 1988, Oxford Sixth Form College is one of the UK’s leading independent sixth form colleges for students aged 15-19. Formerly named Oxford Tutorial College, we sustain the tutorial tradition through an average class size of three students and through having no more than six students in an A-Level class. We offer greater flexibility than mainstream schools with over 30 subjects on offer across A-Level, GCSE, and BTEC. For students looking to improve on their results, we also offer specialized, examination board-specific, A-Level retake programs that provide the right environment for you to have the opportunity to improve your results and secure a place at a top university. We are committed to not only providing you with expert tuition but also providing you with the support you need to reach your potential from the moment you make your application. Our students speak of the college environment as being a warm, friendly, and very welcoming place. Whether in the classroom at college or in our boarding houses, all staff provide wonderful guidance and support to ensure students enjoy their time with us and go on to help achieve their personal and academic goals. Our students progress to a wide range of degree programs at top U.K. universities including business management and economics mathematics, engineering and computer science medicine and law art and creative media history and international relations. Our location in the very heart of the city of Oxford, with neighbors including University of Oxford colleges Oriel and Christchurch, is steeped in academic history and one that serves to inspire our students and us to build a successful future. The College offers an approach quite different from that of a traditional school. The key to the Oxford Sixth Form College learning environment is that we aim to provide an alternative to the mainstream. This means that in addition to offering a mainstream, academic, two-year A-Level program, we provide A-Level, BTEC, and GCSE programs of study that in terms of their length, start dates, and combination of academic and vocational subjects are rarely available in mainstream independent schools. We are very much a college preparing young people for the responsibilities of life at university and beyond rather than a school. The culture of the College encourages hard work and a growing sense of responsibility in a supportive environment. From the first meeting with a student at an admissions interview to identify their goals and motivation to providing clear, constructive support, including individual learning plans, during their time with us, we treat each of our students as an individual. Our teaching approach is refreshingly interactive and informal. The support provided by subject tutors is thoughtful and creative, focusing specifically on individual learning styles. Students are encouraged to take an active part in the learning process at every stage. Course material is taught clearly and directly, with careful review and continual practice of previous examination questions. Tutors ensure that students develop a good set of notes and encourage systematic revision. Time is also allowed for an overall subject review as the examinations approach, to check to understand and enable further exam practice. A key part of the Oxford Sixth Form College learning environment is that an active learning style is encouraged and each student may be asked to present material and exchange views with others. This is followed by guidance from the teacher on the interpretation, manipulation, and analysis of the material. Preparation is required. Teaching groups consist of no more than six students in A-Level groups and no more than ten students in the other programs we offer. This small group size enables close discussion of each topic whilst still allowing a high degree of personal attention. Our College is housed in a row of handsome Victorian houses just a few yards from Oxford High Street. The center of Oxford is small enough to explore on foot and is also within easy walking distance of the bus and rail stations. Students can enjoy Oxford’s bookshops, galleries, and museums – many of which are world-class relax and go punting on the river that flows through the city or choose from the many other cultural offers of the city. The main College premises are in King Edward Street, with three further sites within walking distance, all in the heart of the University precinct. We maintain a supervised library well-stocked with essential textbooks and reference materials, and students also have access to a substantial collection of previous examination papers, specifications, and examiners’ reports. Oxford Sixth Form College facilities also include a well-equipped art room and two science laboratories in addition to a biology lab. Between lessons, students can relax in the student common room. There is also an IT suite, where students have Internet access through a fast broadband connection. A wireless network operates throughout the premises. As the College is in a city center location, there are a large number of cafés, sandwich bars and restaurants nearby. We also provide opportunities for joining student clubs and societies, and the academic life of the College is enhanced by a varied range of extra-curricular activities, including cultural visits, music, and sports.

Overton Grange School: an Academy committed to providing excellent secondary education for the local community. As Ofsted stated in February 2016 “This is a Good Academy”. Overton Grange School is a co-educational community of approximately 1,250 11-19-year-old students. In June 2011 the School converted from being a secondary school run by the London Borough of Sutton to ‘Academy Status’ (an independent state school overseen by the Department for Education). This means we have more control over our curriculum and resources but we remain committed to high-quality non-selective education for local Sutton children and to working in close partnership with secondary and primary schools and the local community. Aims of Overton Grange School: To provide a broad, balanced, appropriate, and challenging curriculum with opportunities for all to succeed. To fully realize students’ academic and personal achievement by focusing on individual potential. To provide high-quality teaching and learning. To provide curricular and extracurricular opportunities for students to develop as individuals and a community. To develop and strengthen partnerships with parents, Governors, and the community. We want Overton Grange School to be a safe, challenging, and happy community that prepares learners of today for the demands and opportunities of tomorrow. In partnership with parents and the community, Overton Grange aims to provide opportunities for its students that enable them to play an active role in the twenty-first century. As members of a co-educational comprehensive school, students have full access to and experience of the curriculum regardless of race, class, gender, physical ability, and religious belief. The School promotes a sense of self-esteem, responsibility, and tolerance in young people. It values and challenges the individual so that they achieve the highest levels of attainment whatever their starting point. Overton Grange places great emphasis on high academic and vocational standards and has at its heart the development of the whole person. Expectations are high and the achievement of the individual is celebrated. Overton Grange provides a supportive atmosphere based on self-discipline, mutual respect, co-operation, and understanding.

Our A-Level and BTEC results speak for themselves and we hope you will take this opportunity to see the facilities for yourself and meet the teachers and sixth form students. There is a positive ethos of ambition, cooperation, and common purpose in the Sixth Form. It is a caring community that is committed to playing a positive role within the wider school and beyond, into the locality. We believe we have achieved a good balance between giving Sixth Form students freedom and independence as they learn to manage their time effectively and the close monitoring and support needed to ensure that they do not slip through the net at this important stage in their education and personal lives. Parents are informed and involved throughout each student’s career here but the students are treated as young adults and expected to reflect on their performance, identify strengths and weaknesses and find their solutions to some of the challenges they face. They do this within a framework of professional support and guidance from the support and teaching staff at the school. We take pride in knowing our students well as individuals and supporting their unique path through the challenges of Key Stage 5. View full school
