We are absolutely thrilled to finally be a part of such a welcoming, nurturing and supportive trust.”
Hornchurch Academy Trust Annual Report 2021/22
Best EducationQualityfor All 01
Welcome from the CEO
As well as expanding the Trust, 2021/22 has also been about planning for the future. The opening of a school-led nursery at Scargill Infant School has been approved and work to make this a reality is well under way.
“Moving forward into the next academic year, we are confident that the Trust will continue to thrive.”
I hope that this latest edition provides a wider perspective of the Trust, its schools and work that takes place that makes our schools great places to be. This edition is also a reflection of six schools. On 1st July 2022, we welcomed Shears Green Infant School to the Hornchurch Academy Trust family. We are delighted to have Shears Green Infant in the Trust and look forward to a bright future together.
Chris Hobson Welcome to the second edition of the Hornchurch Academy Trust Annual Report to Parents/Carers.
During 2021/22 both Scargill Infant and Upminster Junior achieved positive outcomes in OFSTED inspections, which reflected the good work taking place both in schools and across the Trust. The reports also provided positive feedback on the new curriculum offers in both schools and more widely across the Trust that are reflected in the quality of education.
Mr C W Hobson CEO
2021/22 has seen a greater return to normality and routine in Trust schools, despite the lingering impact and management of COVID. Most importantly, consistency in on-site education has been hugely beneficial to children, staff and community. Nothing quite replicates the classroom experience!
Moving forward into the next academic year, we are confident that the Trust will continue to thrive. By working together, all children in all of our schools will continue to achieve and enjoy an excellent primary education.
Gillian Thumpston
Our ethos of partnership working within and across our schools, improves progress and outcomes across the Trust and I believe demonstrates best practice.
Welcome to our second Annual Report. Again, we have had a number of achievements to celebrate during this past year, including two very positive OFSTED inspections.
Most recently, the Board of Trustees has completed an external review of governance, the outcomes of which will help us to develop our role further. A role which includes setting a clear vision upon which the ethos and strategic direction of the Trust is based. The Annual Report demonstrates the Trust’s achievements and successes throughout the academic year.
“ The Trustees work with the leaders at every level in all our schools. The combination of their ourhighensurestalentsconsistentlyoutcomesforpupils.”
Ms G Thumpston Chair of Trustees
Welcome from the Chair of Trustees
Our work on the curriculum, offered to our children, has been recognised by OFSTED as effectively helping children to develop their subject-specific knowledge. Staff explain and model what they want pupils to know. We will continue our work to enhance the curriculum offer and raise standards, to further develop teaching and learning that is more flexible and adaptable, regardless of what the future holds.
I look forward to another successful year for the Trust community.

Development:
• Guided learning walks for governance led by the Director of Teaching and Learning have been re-established post COVID restrictions.
The Trust is the legal entity and employer and as such, views itself as one organisation that simply has individual schools within it. The Board of Trustees govern the Trust as a charitable company and are accountable as the overall responsible authority for all schools within the Multi Academy Trust. In addition, the Board of Trustees is required to fulfil its responsibilities as outlined in the Articles of Association, funding agreements and Academy Trust Handbook.
The Board of Trustees fulfil their role in line with the expectations of the seven principles of public life, whilst as a collective are required to be effective, accountable and ethical. In essence, the Board of Trustees conduct the business of the Trust as the appropriate body with ultimate accountability.
The role of governance in a Multi Academy Trust is different to that of a Local Authority maintained school.
• A Trust wide internal training programme is now available for all governance.
The role of governance in achieving best outcomes for children that attend Hornchurch Academy Trust schools is a critical one. As such, during 2021-22 a variety of work has taken place to further enhance the effectiveness of governance at all levels and the interaction between the tiers of governance:
• Second Annual Trust Governance Conference took place to support governance development.
For the reasons noted above, governance in a Multi Academy Trust is very important and involves high stakes accountability. As such, the Board of Trustees is a skills based group rather than a purely representative body. To ensure that the Board of Trustees remains fit for purpose, it engages in an annual skills audit and also commissions an external review of governance.
The role of Trust Governance
• Termly meetings between the Chairs of Local Standards Groups (LSG) and CEO to share best practice and maintain the strategic direction of the Trust.
• Cross-school visits by LSG members have taken place to share the ethos and best practice in the Trust.
• Cross Trust networking has been developed.
03Governance
• National College CPD has been made available to all governance. All governance have completed key training.

• We have secured another £493k in DfE conditions funding to further improve our schools.
• A brand new MUGA (astro) opened at Scargill Junior School.
• A new and improved curriculum offer has been implemented in all Trust schools.
• We returned to our second Annual Governance Conference and did so face to face.

• The Trust is now the contracting authority for the Havering Brokerage Service on behalf of all Havering schools.

• Pupil attendance has remained above the National Average in all of our schools.
• All schools managed to remain fully open despite COVID challenges.
• We have successfully implemented a new Governance Development Programme that is available to all tiers of governance.

I am absolutely delighted to welcome Shears Green Infant School into the Hornchurch Academy Trust and our family of schools. Shears Green Infant School officially joined the Trust on 1st July 2022.

Chris Hobson, CEO
We warmly welcome Shears Green to the Hornchurch Family
Shears Green Infant School is a welcomed addition ‘to the family’ following a long informal working relationship. It is fair to say that we believe as a Trust we have much to offer Shears Green Infant School, however we are very much looking forward to what the school can contribute to the Trust. Finally, I would like to welcome the school’s children, leadership, staff, parents/carers and community to the Trust and look forward to working in partnership to continue to develop the already high standards and expectations at Shears Green infant School.
We are a 4 form entry Infant school nestled in the Northfleet Community, just 10 minutes away from both Bluewater and Ebbsfleet International.
Hayley Kotze – Headteacher
We are delighted to now be officially a part of the Hornchurch Academy family and are excited to see where this journey will take us all.
16
A two year informal relationship with the Hornchurch Academy Trust has led our beautiful community at Shears Green Infant to finally find a family of schools that share our vision and values.
We wanted to form a working relationship with like-minded practitioners who have the children at the heart of all they do and who would not only challenge, support and nurture us but also be open to receive the same from a good school who could offer a wealth of expertise and experience.
17
At Hornchurch Academy Trust, we pride ourselves on the variety of inclusive provisions and practices available to ensure we meet the needs of all SEND pupils within our schools.
Our schools recognise that not all pupils can access all areas of learning due to a range of particular barriers. Through targeted and specialist support, we ensure that SEND pupils can access an adapted curriculum appropriate to individual needs. Pupils are supported with a range of specialist interventions, with staff having up to date training. We ensure that our interventions and provisions support all areas of SEND and along with training, these are relevant to each school’s needs.
Our schools understand the importance of adapting environments in order to support a vast range of barriers to learning. Many of our schools have developed sensory rooms, sensory areas or intervention rooms where specialised interventions and equipment are used to support specific learning needs.
Amber Gillham HAT Group SENCO
ProvisionOur for children with SEND
Through the excellent teaching and learning across the schools, in turn this ensures that pupils make sustained progress and successfully learn to be a part of the school community.
We recognise that social and emotional behaviours are a SEND area of need and have an impact on pupils learning. The schools have been working on promoting emotional wellbeing to ensure pupils progress, and to support them in having a successful transition into adult life. Schools now have trained Emotional Literacy Support Assistants who work with pupils who may have emotional difficulties. Several Family Support Workers work across the schools and offer support to vulnerable pupils and their families. This includes interventions and resources for families such as information mornings as well as signposting to a range of services.

Overview figures for the Trust for 2021-2022… ECTs have loved being an ECT within the Hornchurch Academy Trust this academic year. I have been supported by all colleagues across the trust, especially my mentor. I have had the chance to develop my teaching and take on additional roles - local and trust wide. I am excited to see what next year brings.”
For 2021-2022 the Trust, like the rest of the country, welcomed its first ECTs (Early Career Teachers).
This year, the Trust has focused on the development of our wider curriculum. The 5 schools in the Trust have worked collaboratively, along with Steve Mastin, an Education Consultant who has worked with the DfE on the History Curriculum, to create a systematic, purposeful and rich curriculum. Our aim is to create an exciting and engaging wider curriculum, which provides children with opportunities and encourages them to be curious of the world they live in.
Our first cohort of ECTs has been a great success with all of them continuing their development within the Trust into their second year of teaching. We welcome our new cohort of ECTs who will be joining us in July.
5 ECTs joined us in September 2021 in 3 of our schools. We have created a carefully sequenced programme for teachers, where training focuses on how children learn, as well as what they learn. To enable our training sessions to be tailored to personal needs, we continually respond to Teachers feedback and adapt our training provision to ensure best outcomes for all. A wide range of professional training sessions have been planned throughout the year, including SEND, Assessment and Science.

The Trust has been extremely successful in securing Condition Improvement Funds from the ESFA. We are very pleased to have two further projects approved for the forthcoming year. were delighted to secure funding this year that meant all Trust schools now have Sensory Rooms to support learners with additional needs.”
Expenditure 2020/21
Most of the Trust academies’ funding is obtained from the Education and Skills Funding Agency in the form of recurrent grants. During the period ending 31 August 2021 total expenditure of £7,372K was met by this funding together with other incoming resources, such as Local Authority income, self-generated income and other grants.

The main activities of the Trust is the provision of education. This is what the majority of expenditure was on. The greatest part of this expenditure is spent on staff salaries. Other support costs expenditure includes governance, maintenance, technology and depreciation.
Headlines
The Trust continues to remain in a very secure position financially, again ending the last financial year 2020/21 with reserve funds that are above target. These funds are in place to ensure we are financially sustainable and are planned to be used to provide significant contributions towards improving the infrastructure and estates across all the trust schools.
The average spend per pupil across the Trust in 2020/21 was £5,001.

General Annual Grant
The Trust is working in partnership with Havering Education Services, as we have now become the Contracting Authority for a procurement framework called The Brokerage. The Brokerage is an invaluable service, subscribed to by the majority of schools in Havering,
which assists schools in providing economies of scale for purchasing goods and services, ensuring value for money and that procurement regulations are strictly adhered to.
The Trust has invested in a new Management Information System to provide a fully integrated cloud based system across all the academies. This transition has taken place across this year and has streamlined and aligned working practice, improved efficiencies and reduced duplication, whilst also providing parents an improved approach to two-way communication.
The MAT has continued to send termly newsletters to all parents of pupils in the Trust, creating the opportunity for them to have a whole Trust understanding of what has been happening. In addition to this, the schools send out either weekly or fortnightly newsletters, keeping parents up to date with everything that is going on or due to happen in their child’s school.
“I enjoy going onto the Chromebooks because when we use Google Classroom it’s really fun.”
New Prospectus
Each school has a newly updated prospectus which can be viewed in both booklet form and as an online interactive booklet on school websites.
Parents in school
Building on what we had set up during lockdown, all the schools in the Trust were able to offer parents a choice of either virtual or face to face appointments. This proved very successful and was well received.
MAT & Weekly Newsletter
All schools within the Trust have appointed a social media champion who have been busy celebrating the fantastic work happening in our schools on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
All schools within the Trust have moved to Arbor as their MIS provider. Arbor is a very secure and simple system to use and enables parents to be able to update their child’s information, make payments, book appointments, and much, much more via the parent portal by simply downloading the Arbor App. At school, we are then able to send emails, letters and texts via the app. This has further streamlined and improved communications with all parents.
Parents Evenings
Parent surveys have been sent out from each school using Google Forms via the Google Platform. This has enabled a quicker and more efficient method of analysing the feedback that comes back to us.

GoogleforTechnologyLearningforEducation
Staff CPD
After our successful implementation of Google for Education in all five schools in the Trust, we were able to offer an extremely high quality remote education to our pupils. Due to the DfE free Chromebook scheme, we were also able to support families with the loaning of devices. Since then, we have continued to embed G Suite into our everyday teaching, including our home learning too. Pupils who were isolated were able to access their learning by joining their lessons live through Google Meet, a way of teaching that we never imagined.
Our Trust focus this year was on ensuring progression of skills and key vocabulary across the wider curriculum. The Computing Lead team have worked together throughout the year to develop medium term plans which will be used across the key stages to teach our Computing lessons. Collaborating in this way allowed us to share our knowledge and understanding with our colleagues to develop the curriculum planning for Computing which can be shared by the schools in our Trust.
Cyber Security
Chromebooks
Alongside the implementation of Google for Education, we purchased pupil chromebooks which has allowed us to deliver a flipped learning approach within the classroom. Since July 2020, we have been working towards our goal of all classrooms having their own individual set of chromebooks. It is crucial to us that our pupils leave school with the confidence and ability to navigate this everchanging, technological world.

Our schools are reliant on technology, so it is important that we develop staff awareness of Cyber Security to try to prevent a potential threat. All of our staff recently completed the NCSC Cyber Security Training for Schools and, as a part of our Action Plan for 2022/2023, to implement our User Awareness Training for all staff members.

At Hornchurch Academy Trust, we know that pupils’ wellbeing is of paramount importance. We recognise that pupils will only thrive and learn when they feel safe, secure and happy. We address pupils’ wellbeing in the following ways:
• Through the curriculum: Through statutory elements of the RSE and health curriculum and online safety lessons; e.g. mental health week; antibullying week; PE lessons; mindfulness activities; residential visits aimed at developing confidence, self-belief, trust and resilience.
