Our policies, procedures and practices will be developed by the whole school community and be based on mutual respect tolerance and care for others. There is a public meeting taking place to discuss the proposals on Wednesday 5th November, from 6-8pm, at Bishop Walsh School, Wylde Green Rd, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands B76 1QT. This meeting will cover both the statutory academy consultation as well as the site planning proposals. Anyone is welcome to attend. www.ebnacademyphase2.co.uk [email protected] To help the young people to achieve these aims, guidance will be given about which behaviours are supportive and helpful and make the school a better place to be. We will encourage students to develop an awareness of their own behaviour and its effects on others and to help them develop mature and thoughtful self-control. Inappropriate behaviour will be challenged within an understanding, caring and supportive context. Staff will use a variety of strategies based on the following beliefs: That appropriate and supportive behaviour should always be acknowledged, valued and rewarded. That student’s self-esteem should be enhanced. That inappropriate behaviour will be challenged. For EBN Academy Phase 2 www.ebnacademyphase2.co.uk [email protected] Introducing EBN Academy Phase 2 Mission Statement Formal Consultation on EBN Academy will be an Alternative Provision school in Birmingham for 90 students aged 13-16 years. This is an application from a network of 12 Head Teachers of Secondary Schools and Academies across East Birmingham. These schools in the East Birmingham Network already collaborate on a range of curriculum and pupil support areas including behaviour and attendance and post-16 provision. EBN Academy will be a safe, well ordered and caring learning environment which will deliver high quality education to all its students. We will support them to develop their individual potential for growth, self-worth and self-control through experiencing outstanding teaching, clear and consistent guidance and support. EBN Academy Phase 2 We aim to provide a school of high educational standards which offers a real alternative to the existing provision on offer in this part of Birmingham for this cohort of students. We want our school to meet the needs of the students who attend EBN Academy by offering high quality wrap around care. EBN Academy will be a school where parents, whatever their circumstances and needs, feel able to entrust their children to us; confident that we will support and guide them to achieve their very best educationally, socially and physically in an environment that puts students’ individual needs at the top of the agenda. More information on the EBN Academy can be found at: www.ebnacademyphase2.co.uk The Building and Transport Links Subject to planning permission the building will be on Eachelhusrt Road in Walmley. The identified site will be influenced by its accessibility and proximity to the number 11 bus route and other key bus routes which will allow all students referred to EBN Academy to commute easily. The academic curriculum will fulfil our principle aim of providing access to a range of accredited qualifications as well as educational and social experiences, which will address the learning and emotional needs of our students. We will support every student to develop their true potential and make a positive contribution to their community as they progress towards adult life.
