Sixth Form College

United by the Cross
aklands is a Catholic Voluntary Aided
School taking Catholic children from
11–18, Oaklands also
takes in a num
ber
of children from other Christian
denominations and
other faiths, who meet criteria
laid down in the Governors’ Adm
issions Policy.
Oaklands is a community of nearly 1300 including
180studentsintheSixthForm.Itisawellestablished
Com
prehensive
School, which is well supported
by parents and
highly respected in the community.
Oaklands offers a full range of GCSE, AS and
A2
Level courses. The
school’s success is rooted in a
strong academic tradition.
The
school stands within attractive and
extensive
grounds including woodlands and
playing fields.
In recent years the school has undergone a major
expansion to provide modern facilities in many
areas of the curriculum.
The
aims of the school emphasise the importance
of each student as an individual. To this end, the
teaching staff, who also
have important roles as
Form Tutors, endeavour to create a Christ centred
learning community whose prim
ary aim is to ignite
a passion
for faith and
learning. At Oaklands we
recognise that students have special and
different
gifts, we aim
to develop
them in a climate where
they can be shared and
personal achievement can
be maximised, where difference is not just tolerated
but celebrated. Students need to work within an
environment where they can develop
their unique
God
given gifts and
feel lovable, loved, capable and
valued members of the community.
The School also recognises its responsibility to foster
a Christian atmosphere, to equip the young students
in its care to face
the adult world with confidence
and
to play a responsible part in a society which
is rapidly changing and
holds a variety of different
standards. This confidence is shaped
through a
deep understanding of the relationship between
faith and
culture. Students are
encouraged to
further their faith journey. To this
end
Religious
Education, Form and
Year Assemblies, Year
Masses and
Liturgical services, Full School Masses,
Residential Experiences, and Com
munity Service are
all important aspects in the life of the School.
At Oaklands extra-curricular activities are
an
essential part of a young person’s development and
all students are encouraged to profit from
the wide
rangeofactivitiesonoffer.Whatevertheirtalentsand
abilities there are opportunities to succeed.
The successful pastoral system
at Oaklands is
built on the strong partnership between the school,
home and
parish enabling each student to flourish.
We believe that parents have a key role to play in the
education of their child. The
Year Head and
Form
Tutors, through the pastoral curriculum at Oaklands,
emphasise
with students the importance of self-
discipline and responsibility and also the importance
of care, concern and
respect for each other at all
times.
Students at Oaklands will find
a warm and
caring
environment in which they can grow in confidence
and trust, and achieve their true
all round potential.
Welcome to
Oaklands
Matthew Quinn
O
Within our Christian family we strive to achieve the highest standards
by creating an environment that enables us to:
– nurture Gospel values of faith, hope, love, forgiveness, justice and
peace
– appreciate and
respect each individual as a person
– educate the whole person in terms of spiritual, academic, social and
cultural development
– encourage the realisation
of potential and
personal qualities
– contribute to the school community by participation, support and
co-operation
– celebrate the gifts of every individual
– recognise the mutual support of hom
e, school and
church community
– encourage respect and
responsibility for both the imm
ediate and
wider environment.
Mission Statement
We believe that the essential nature of the school is one
of a Christian community following the Catholic tradition.
At the heart of what we do is the life and teaching of Jesus
Christ which highlights the value and uniqueness of each
individual in the eyes of God. It is this conviction, and within
it the responsibility to develop in each child an awareness of
the principal teachings of the Catholic Church, which is at the
heart of this statement.

“Art attracts us only by what itreveals of our most secret self.”Jean-Luc Godard
Art
The last 150 years have seen a momentous shift in the Visual
Arts. Contemporary Art makes the national and international
headlines and causes heated public debate as artists continue
to push the boundaries of what is acceptable. As an A Level
student studying Fine Art you enter this debate not only through
your study of the work of a wide range of artists but in the
development of your own creativity to produce personal ideas
and visual responses. The majority of lessons will be practical
and involve exploration and experimentation to produce work
in two and three-dimensions. Gallery visits will give you the
opportunity to view a wide range of work which will broaden
your knowledge and allow you to experience work in new ways.Media
This course will enable you to develop your interests in media
including the analysis and the making of the moving image.
You will explore the links between media texts and the contexts
in which they were created. The practical elements of the
course allow you to be creative and explore the potential of
media as a means of communication. Media Studies can lead to
specific careers, in areas such as advertising, journalism, public
relations, the film and television industry.
Music
Someone once said “where words fail – music speaks.”The study of Music will enable students to: extend the skills,
knowledge and understanding needed to communicate through
music and take part in music making and develop particular
strengths and interests encouraging life-long learning and
providing access to music related careers. In addition as a
subject it will broaden experience, develop imagination, foster
creativity and promote personal and social development.PE
If you are interested in pursuing a career or further education
in the sport and leisure industry, this course could be for
you. During the course you will acquire knowledge and
understanding of P.E. and sport through a multi-disciplinary
approach, encouraging the development of differing methods of
enquiry from a wide range of disciplines. A Level PE can lead to
a career in teaching, physiotherapy and sports administration.

Age Diversity in Employment is an initiative led by the Portsmouth
& South East Hampshire Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
It provides guidelines to employers on the recruitment and

The Project is managed by Portsmouth City Council Social Services
& Economic Development Departments, and is supported by
funding from the Portsmouth & South East Hampshire Partnership

Progress Report
Hawa’s family are part
of Save the Children’s
Safety Net Programme,
which is designed to
supply families with food
and money in exchange
for work on community
projects like building
roads, environmental
conservation initiatives
and water points. Both
Hawa’s mother and
father joined the scheme
which provides an
alternative income to
farming and gives the
family the opportunity
to increase their
economic stability,
while benefiting the
community as
a whole.
They will each do five
days community work
every month. Hawa’s
family have been able to
buy an ox with Save the
Children’s support.
They are also involved
with our Livelihood
Programme, receiving
six good quality goats
and training on how to
raise them. When they
breed, they must pass
on five goats to another
family; the rest they can
eat or sell as they wish.
The family is also being
provided with seeds
and training on how to
produce vegetables for
the family and food for
the animals.
A seed bank has also
been developed in the
village with Save the
Children’s support, which
aims to improve harvests
by providing crops able
to cope with the harsh
conditions here. And a
new Farmers’ Training
Centre has been set-up
to share knowledge and
good practice among
the villagers.
This whole programme is
designed to help families
survive in the event of
another drought, and to
improve the wellbeing
of children through a
healthier and more
varied diet.

Peter approached HASCU when he found
himself facing rising credit card bills. He cut
up all his credit cards and started saving
and borrowing with us in order to pay off the
debts. By May 2008 he will not only be debt
free but will have a healthy savings balance
in his account!
Simon borrowed enough to buy a van and
set himself up as an independent plasterer.
The business is doing well and he is able to
control his borrowing as well as
actively save.
Diane bought a car with one of our loans to
set up as a mobile hairdresser – she is doing
well and recently expanded her business by
employing a nail technician.
At 76, June started saving for the first time in
her life. This also entitled her to borrow from
us. She used the money fly to France and
see her son for the first time in over
30 years!
In 2005 Sandra started a regular savings
plan to enable her to take out small loans.
This year she has arranged for a larger loan
to take her family on an overseas holiday
– for the first time ever!

20. Display Advertising
Get noticed, create an impression, change an attitude,
drive a response. We make advertising work harder.
We achieve quality in our affordable homes, designing and building with
aesthetics, sustainability, desirability and longevity all firmly in mind.
Wayfarer members share best practice to
continually improve quality: resident
involvement at the design stage ensures
developments meet real needs; we work
with experienced architects to deliver
innovative, attractive schemes in a
collaborative approach; developments are
designed and built with long-term
maintenance and management issues at
the forefront of our thinking. Feedback from
residents, funders and service users confirms
that this is an approach that works.
The majority of our homes are built using
high quality Modern Methods of
Construction (MMC), often manufactured
off site where higher levels of quality control
can be achieved.
We have a target for 50% of our
developments to use MMC, exceeding the
Housing Corporation’s intended requirement
for all grant funded development to include
25% MMC. We even exceeded our own
target in 2006–07 when 57% of our
developments utilised modern methods.
We aim for all our schemes to achieve the
‘Secured by Design’ award.

By embracing innovation The Wayfarer Consortium is delivering
new homes that respond to the needs of residents, the environment
and the community – a welcome development!
We are committed to five key drivers –
Innovation, Sustainability, Community,
Quality and Delivery.
We don’t just build new homes we create
sustainable communities. Building on our
successes over the past three years, we are
continuing to seek opportunities to develop
homes with an eye on the future.
Drawing on the experience of our partners
and suppliers, we are constantly looking to
employ new innovations, enhance
efficiency and drive up standards.
To maximize the benefits of our pooled
experience, we recently entered into
Framework Agreements with 15 Architects
and Employer’s Agents for our programme
of work over the next four years.
On 8 March 2007 Wayfarer will launch the
Modern Methods of Construction Framework
Agreement involving private developers and
14 housing associations.

One of Wayfarer’s core objectives is to provide sustainable housing,
which is affordable to run, attractive to live in and which makes a
positive contribution to the community.
We reduce the environmental impact of
our housing through award-winning
approaches to materials and construction,
waste and energy management and
innovative water reclamation. The results
speak for themselves: to date, more than
2,000 of our new homes have been assessed
under the ‘EcoHomes’ methodology, and a
further 2,500 will be assessed over the next
3 years through this method and the Code
for Sustainable Homes.
A Wayfarer member leads a regional
Sustainable Housing Renewable Energy
Consortium, which consistently pushes the
boundaries on sustainable design, build and
management. They were also awarded ‘The
Best Integration of Renewable Energy in a
Community Development’ by The South
East Sustainable Energy Partnership (SESEP)
at the Renewable Energy Awards in 2005.
Based on the expertise within the group
Wayfarer is developing a sustainable
development strategy that will
complement and support the strategies
of its individual members and ensure that
best practice is employed through all of
the group’s developments.
