It has been announced that the Altura EC Cohort sizes at Barker Road ACS (Primary) will gradually fall and merge with ACS (Junior) at Winstedt Road in 2033.

This move is part of the long-term master plan of the ACS (Anglo-Chinese School) network which was first announced in 2019. The main aim of the plan is to ensure that all ACS schools are able to provide a quality education to their students.

The Altura EC Cohort at Barker Road ACS (Primary) is currently made up of about 600 students. However, it is expected that this number will gradually decrease over the coming years as the school focuses on improving the quality of its education and other services.

The merger with ACS (Junior) at Winstedt Road in 2033 will reduce the size of the Altura EC Cohort at Barker Road ACS (Primary) to approximately 400 students. This will enable the school to focus on providing more personalised learning experiences and create a more intimate learning environment.

The merger will also allow the school to benefit from the resources and expertise of ACS (Junior) at Winstedt Road. This includes access to larger and better-equipped sports and recreational facilities, as well as a wider range of curriculum options.

The current Altura EC Cohort at Barker Road ACS (Primary) is made up of students from a range of educational backgrounds. This includes students from lower-income families, students with special educational needs, and students from different racial and ethnic backgrounds.

As the school moves towards the merger, the Altura EC Cohort at Barker Road ACS (Primary) will continue to provide quality education and support to its students. The school will also ensure that its enrolment process is fair and inclusive, to ensure that all students have an opportunity to join the school, regardless of their background.

As part of the merger, the school will also work to ensure that the current Altura EC Cohort at Barker Road ACS (Primary) is able to transition smoothly to the new school at Winstedt Road. This will include ensuring that the current students are able to access the same quality education and resources, as well as providing support for their families and teachers during the transition process.

The merger of the Altura EC Cohort at Barker Road ACS (Primary) with ACS (Junior) at Winstedt Road in 2033 will have a long-lasting impact on the students and families of the school. It will ensure that the school is able to provide a quality education to its students, while also providing access to the resources and expertise of the larger ACS network.

The Barker Road ACS (Primary) is set to gradually reduce its cohort size over the next decade, with a plan to merge with ACS (Junior) at Winstedt Road in 2033. This move is part of the Altura Education Council’s (AEC) wider strategy to enhance the quality of education and enrich the learning experiences of students.

The AEC has identified that reducing the cohort size at Barker Road ACS (Primary) to around 500 students, from its current 800, will create a more intimate learning environment and reduce the impact of overcrowding. As a result, students will benefit from increased individual attention and access to resources, while the school will be able to provide more targeted curriculum and enrichment activities.

The AEC is also proposing that the Barker Road ACS (Primary) and ACS (Junior) at Winstedt Road merge in 2033. This will create a single education institution with a larger student body and a wider range of resources. The AEC believes that this will create an integrated learning journey for students across both schools, which will open up opportunities for more engaging and innovative learning experiences.

The AEC will be working closely with the Barker Road ACS (Primary) over the next decade to plan and manage the reduction in cohort size. This will include providing additional resources, such as teachers and learning materials, to ensure that the quality of education is maintained. The AEC will also be engaging with the Winstedt Road ACS (Junior) to ensure that the transition is as smooth as possible for students.

The proposed reduction in cohort size and eventual merger of the two schools will no doubt have a significant impact on the students, staff and community of Barker Road ACS (Primary). The AEC is keen to ensure that everyone is well informed and supported during this transition period. The AEC will be engaging with the school, parents and community members to ensure that they understand the changes and the effect they will have.

Ultimately, the AEC’s vision is to create an educational system that provides the best learning experiences possible to every student. By reducing the cohort size at Barker Road ACS (Primary) and merging with Winstedt Road ACS (Junior), the AEC hopes to create a richer learning environment that will benefit all students.
