  4. Our Family of Academy Schools: Washwood Heath Multi Academy Trust was formed in November 2014. The trust now comprises of three academies: Washwood Heath Academy, Brownmead Academy and Saltley Academy. Washwood Heath Academy – Mrs Heather McLachlan Head of Academy Washwood Heath Academy is a large 11-18 academy with 1400 students, 150 in the Sixth Form.  The majority of our students are from minority ethnic backgrounds and we have a high proportion of them who speak English as an additional language.  We are passionate about supporting and challenging our students and staff to be creative, resilient, team players and pride ourselves on being open-minded and respectful of all cultures and backgrounds that make up our diverse learning community, a key value within the WHMAT.  In addition to academic excellence, our students are expected to take risks and participate in a range of activities, from sports to art and music and we have a strong belief in helping others, reflected in the number of charity and leadership events run and supported by students.  Our 'family' ethos and values means that students and staff respect one another and feel responsible for lending a helping hand, especially within our vertical form groups. Brownmead Academy – Mr Ashley Winters Head of Academy Brownmead is a one-form entry primary school with 210 children, catering for ages between 4 to 11 years old. We are a popular school and offer our families a supportive and caring environment, where children are allowed to grow and develop to become the best citizens they can be. We offer a broad curriculum with an emphasis on enjoyment and provide children with many opportunities for enriching life experiences. Our aim is to give our community the aspirations to achieve together. Saltley Academy – Mr Pete Weir Head of Academy Saltley Academy is a mixed comprehensive school of 1014 students, aged 11-16. The school was created on 1st March 2015. Since the Trust was first involved in the school, it made progress towards leaving special measures, which occurred on conversion. The Academy has already developed a reputation for creative and effective strategies for engaging with issues such as 'British Values'. The team ethos of the Academy community has also contributed to a very successful recruitment programme for September, with the Academy fully staffed with a healthy mixture of experience and colleagues at the early stages of their career.

  5. Washwood Heath Multi Academy Trust - Governance • Governance: • All schools within the trust will have a Local Governing Body, operating under a scheme of delegation from the trust • Up to five Local Governing Body Chairs will be Directors and attend Board of Directors meetings to ensure a clear reporting process • The Chair of each Local Governing Body is appointed by the Trust Board MEMEBERS 4 x Members BOARD OF DIRECTORS 14 x Directors to include up to 5 Chairs from LGBs Finance, Audit and General Purposes Strategic Group Staffing and Pay Strategic Group Brownmead LGB Chair 1 x Head Teacher 3 x Community 2 x Elected Staff 2 x Elected Parents Washwood Heath LGB Chair 1 x Head of Academy 2 x Community 3 x Elected Staff 2 x Elected Parents Saltley LGB Chair 1 x Head of Academy 2 x Community 3 x Elected Staff 2 x Elected Parents Gossey Lane LGB Chair 1x Head Teacher 2 x Community 2 x Elected Staff 2 x Elected Parents Leadership, Achievement and Behaviour Strategic Group

  6. Washwood Heath Multi Academy Trust – Governance • The Members will be responsible for: • Winding up the trust • Amend the Articles of Association • Appoint Members/Directors, remove Directors • Holding the directors to account for the effective discharge of their duties • The Directors will be responsible and accountable for the strategic priorities of the trust. They will:- • Agree targets for student and pupil achievement • Agree the budgets for schools in the trust • Monitor rag rated school action plans • Ensure each school curriculum is relevant and broadly based • Appoint all teaching staff on Leadership Scale and Support Staff on Grade 6 or above in conjunction with Local Governing Bodies • Review performance and pay of Head Teacher/Head of Academy’s in conjunction with Chairs of Local Governing Bodies • The Directors will delegate the following to the Local Governing Bodies of each school in the trust:- • Preparing, monitoring and securing targets for pupil and school achievement • Preparing, monitoring and managing the budget • Monitoring and reviewing the curriculum for pupils and students • Monitoring and reviewing the quality of teaching and learning • Reviewing the pupil/student experience • Appointing all staff except Head Teachers, teaching staff on Leadership Scale and Support Staff on Grade 6 or above • Implementation of the Pay Policy in line with that agreed by the Directors

  7. How we are able to secure improvements in Teaching, Learning and Assessment • Self Evaluation • Our aim is to support all of our schools to be judged by Ofsted as at least good with the capacity to become outstanding. • Once per year, each of our schools will be subject to an Ofsted style review of its work that will be initiated by the Washwood Heath MAT Board, involving the Executive Head Teacher and external consultants. • Formal reviews of each school’s progress towards agreed targets are presented to the respective Local Governing Body of each school on a regular (termly) basis and received by the Washwood Heath MAT Board at least three times per year. • At a local level, governors from each of the schools within the Washwood Heath MAT will play an active role in monitoring the quality of learning and teaching and outcomes for learners. Through regular training across all of the schools within the Washwood Heath MAT, governors will be supported to question and challenge information presented to them; gaining the level of awareness and understanding that will enable them to accurately judge their school’s capacity for further improvement. Our monitoring processes will continuously inform self-evaluation and planning within each of our schools. • These will include: • tracking of learner progress and planned interventions to support each learner’s success • analysis of attendance and punctuality (with a consistent strategy agreed across all of our schools to reduce persistent absence) • analysis of data relating to learners’ behaviour and safety • scrutiny of learners’ work • analysis of standards of learning and teaching (including moderated lesson observations to ensure consistent judgements about standards across all of our schools). • learning walks involving senior and middle leaders and governors • evidence that professional development programmes are directly linked to the outcomes of lesson observations and appraisal objectives • detailed analysis of outcomes for learners • consultation with students, staff and parents across our schools and partners across our wider community (this will be done through formally constituted groups, focus groups and surveys arranged throughout the year).

  8. School Improvement Strategy We will start by getting to know our academies. This will include data analysis, looking at all documentation including RAISE online and Ofsted reports and undertaking an in-school audit of provision. An integrated approach will be undertaken alongside the academy, taking full account of their own self-evaluation and identified priorities. We will also establish the academy’s own areas of strength and expertise that can be shared across Washwood Heath MAT and in particular, the skills of staff within the academy.
