Broadway Academy

Pupils are self-disciplined, independent and incidences of low-level disruption are extremely rare. During 2014-2015 we carried out 2180+ behaviour walks, 34.3% outstanding, 64.3% good and 1.1% was Requiring Improvement. e also had 198+ formal lesson observations completed last academic year - 38.4% Outstanding, 59.1% Good, 2.5% Requiring Improvement. e have been awarded Centre of Excellence status from the IQM Awards in July 2015. Our exclusion figures are below national and Birmingham averages 2013-2014 fixed term exclusions were 3.7%, compared to the national % of 5.80%. 2014-2015 internal data suggests fixed term exclusions were 4.5% . The academy also makes good use of the Shared Provision Panel as a useful measure before a permanent exclusion becomes necessary. This enables us to place students at other schools initially for a 6-12 week placement which can then result in the student being taken on roll if successful. In the last two years we have placed 3 students via the Shared Provision Panel at other schools and of these 2 have been successfully taken on roll by the receiving school and 1 student was placed at St Georges Academy. We have also received 6 students over the last two years on a managed move and took 4 of them on roll. The pupils of Broadway Academy work hard with the school to prevent all forms of bullying, including online bullying and prejudice-based bullying. Following a safeguarding review in July 2015, the school provides a safe and secure environment, and the students are confident in the academy's capacity to protect them and help them to mature and develop.In addition, the students were unanimous in saying that they felt safe in school, and had confidence in the staff to support them if they experienced personal as well as academic problems. lmost all the students spoken with judged Behaviour, Attitudes to learning and Safeguarding to be 'Outstanding' because as a community the school really lives its values and the whole school community are expected to set an example for each other. Our students are our biggest advocates; students at the school understand each other, each other's backgrounds and cultures and the view and opinions of the wider community. e are a school that strongly encourages questioning and discussion particularly around our values [which include British values]. Broadway Academy has an open culture and actively promotes all aspects of pupils' welfare. ur pupils are extremely safe and they understand how to keep themselves safe in different situations and settings. e actively promote the role and responsibility of parents through recent messages about 'parenting', and reports of the school's active involvement in the Prevent and Anti-Radicalisation initiatives currently in progress across Birmingham - e.g. the school's involvement in a recent 'United for Peace - Birmingham Communities United Against Extremism' event at the University of Birmingham. Broadway continues to lead the way in educating our community on key issues of PVE, so much so that we are working towards becoming a flagship school for British Values. e have invited a number of visiting speakers to debate the key issues with our children; the likes of Monawar Hussain of the Oxford Foundation, US Ambassador to the UK Matthew Barzun and Michael Haines brother of David Haines (British citizen beheaded in Syria by IS). he keynote speakers allowed our students to debate, question and discuss key issues that are pertinent within our school community. Additionally, the school works closely with Channel and Prevent organisations. Safeguarding
