We recently took part in a project with Funding Solutions for Education working with local businesses and organisations to create 3,000 branded folders for our trust.

We firstly wanted to thank all the businesses that chose to take part in this project and for supporting our trust, our schools, and our vision. Thank you to the following businesses:

• Even Better If – Supporting School Development
• Peabody
• Spartan Website Design
• Eldridge Estates
• Red Door – Digital and Print Marketing Specialists
• Greenwich Tuition Centre
• RSC Training
• Thamesmead Gym
• Pixel Training
• Raihan Auto Centre

We have just received the folders and wanted to share how amazing they look; the quality of print and design is fantastic. These folders are very versatile in that they can hold a number of booklets/documents and will be used for a number of different reasons. We cannot wait to start using these folders across PolyMAT, Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form, Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys and Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls. This has been a fantastic project, and we have thoroughly enjoyed working with FSE.

Today is the day! PolyMAT presents Series 6!

Topics include: Active Classroom Teaching (ACT), 21st Century Learning Design (21CLD), Digital pedagogies, Minecraft for Education, Kahoot, Nearpod, Questioning and Formative Assessment.

Admissions Consultation

CONSULTATION ON ADMISSIONS ARRANGEMENTS FOR ENTRY TO WOOLWICH POLYTECHNIC SCHOOL FOR ENTRY IN SEPTEMBER 2024

In line with DFE guidance, PolyMAT, as the admissions authority, is consulting and seeking comments on the Determined Admissions Arrangements for 2024 for Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys.

BACKGROUND

This consultation follows the procedure set by the Admissions Code 2021 (‘The Code’) and gives the local community the opportunity to provide their views on these proposed admission arrangements.

This consultation relates to some minor changes to our Admissions Arrangements for 2024-25 which we must now consult on ahead of the changes being determined. 

The changes to the Admissions Criteria are as follows: 

• Where the school is over-subscribed, children of a Trust staff member who is currently employed on permanent contract at the time of application for admission to the academy is made, will be considered as the fourth priority in the criteria.

• The Academy has increased its planned admission number for the Sixth Form to 320, of which 80 are external, i.e. from students entering Year 12 who are not transferring from EITHER Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys or Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls own Year 11 cohort.

THE CONSULTATION PROCESS

This consultation will run from Monday 14 November for eight weeks, concluding at 5pm on Sunday 8 January 2023. We are keen to hear views from the local community who are likely to be affected by the proposed changes and are consulting interested parties in accordance with the Admissions Code.

Please send any responses to arendell@polymat.co.ukor by letter to the school address, Woolwich Polytechnic School, Hutchins Road, Thamesmead, SE28 8AT, labelled Admission Consultation.
