East Sussex College Group 2019-20 Access and Participation Plan
East Sussex College Group 2019-20 Access and Participation Plan Assessment of Current Performance The East Sussex College Group – Introduction to the College The East Sussex College Group is a Further Education College serving East Sussex, with campuses situated in Hastings, Ore Valley, Eastbourne, Newhaven, and Lewes. The College Group is the result of the merger between Sussex Coast College Hastings and Sussex Downs College in March 2018. Both former colleges in the Group were subject to a Quality Review Visit in 2017 from The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education, and the outcome was ‘confidence’ in the Higher Education offer. The College Group has longstanding relationships with its validating partners, the University of Brighton and Pearson Education, and offers Honours Degrees, Foundation Degrees and Higher National Certificates and Diplomas across a broad range of subject areas. This Access and Participation Plan sets out how the East Sussex College Group aims to improve access to Higher Education, student success and progression amongst those groups currently under-represented in Higher Education. The College Group has taken a strategic approach, responding to national and regional agendas for widening access, as well as objectives identified within the College Group’s strategic statement. We aim to meet our objectives through collaboration, both internally and externally, and by continuing to work towards embedding widening access, outreach, student success and progression in to the institution, supporting the whole student life cycle. Through careful monitoring, we will evaluate and prioritise programmes and activities that have the greatest impact, and aim to reduce the difference in success for those students with Widening Participation characteristics. -
REP-7214-001 Chris Lewcock Position Statement on Matter 1 (Pdf)
Statement of Representations by Christopher Peter Lewcock on behalf of the Bulverhythe Protectors I have a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Urban and Regional Planning, a Diploma in Development Studies and an MPhil in Land Economy. I worked for a total of eleven years in English Local Authority Planning Departments. I have also worked as a lecturer in the Built Environment at the University of Greenwich. The Localism Act 2011 (the Act) imposes on a local planning authority the duty to cooperate. This is explained further in relevant Central Government Guidance published 6 March 2014 (the Guidance 2014). They are required “… to engage constructively, actively and on an ongoing basis…“(the Act) … “to maximise the effectiveness of Local Plan … preparation in the context of strategic cross boundary matters” (the Guidance 2014). The duty to cooperate is imposed on the Council preparing their Plan but is equally true in respect of strategic matters of any neighbouring local planning authority. I would submit that Rother District, due to a lack of constructive engagement by Hastings Borough Council, may be unable to comply with this duty to cooperate. My particular concern is with the handling of the Strategic Gap between Bexhill and Hastings. In its Submission Rother District sets out the extent of cooperation on the Hastings urban fringe (paras 4.56 et seq). “Rother and Hastings Councils put forward a joint approach to development in Hastings and Bexhill to advance their shared future prosperity through the respective Core Strategies. This included the establishment of the Countryside Park as well as mutually agreed transport infrastructure improvements, with the now constructed Link Road as the first priority. -

LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England. -

FE Commissioner Intervention: East Sussex College Group
FE Commissioner Intervention Summary: East Sussex College Group December 2019 Update on progress since FEC intervention assessment Following the FEC intervention assessment, the college has made progress despite the turbulent circumstances during which existing challenges, including financial ones, have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the departure of several senior leaders, interim arrangements were rapidly put in place to secure and stabilise the leadership team, with very good use being made of support from national leaders of further education (NLFE) and national leaders of governance (NLG). The governing body membership has been significantly refreshed, with 5 new appointments. The recent staff survey reveals that communications and staff morale have improved significantly. However, as the college fully recognises, there is still much to do and, despite the positive work by the interim team, the longer-term future sustainability, organisational effectiveness and strategic direction of the college need to be secured. This includes the recruitment of a strong, capable and experienced CEO, and clarifying both the strategic direction and organisational structure of the college, which are essential steps for the college to undertake as swiftly as possible. 2 Contents Background to FE Commissioner Intervention Assessment 5 Overview of the college 5 Leadership and governance 6 Role, composition and operation of the board 6 Leadership and senior management team 7 Curriculum and quality improvement 8 Curriculum and provision
