In the autumn term of 2013, Rise Park Junior School was placed in Special Measures following an Ofsted inspection. The headteacher left and an Interim Headteacher (Zoe Sharman) was given the task of driving the school forward and responding positively and vigorously to the Ofsted findings and recommendations. The areas highlighted for improvement ranged from improving teaching and learning in Maths and English, to improving writing across all year groups, to incorporating more efficient behaviour systems and leadership and management throughout the school and governance.
In autumn 2012 Plymouth School of Creative Arts (a 4-16 all through Free School) entered the pre-opening phase of its development. Martin Sweeney (Novatia Education Director) was appointed as Education Adviser, to work with and support the Trust in successfully completing all the educational tasks necessary to ensure the school opened on time in September 2013.
In March 2014 Novatia won a competitive tender for a unique project. The work involved setting up the new Rise Park Academy Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) and then to project manage the simultaneous conversion of both Rise Park Infant and Rise Park Junior School into academies. The uniqueness of the project was reflected in the scenario of doing all 3 tasks together and also, as the Infant School would in fact sponsor the Junior School, via the newly created MAT. Novatia carried out the Section 5 Stakeholder Consultation work, project managed all aspects of the delivery and oversaw all legal work, as carried out by our legal partners. This evidences Novatia's broad spectrum of delivery and client support, which encompasses education, ICT, project management, legal and HR support – all of which can be packaged and tailored to meet the requirements of complex projects.
