Time PUBLIC QUESTION NO. 1 LONDON BOROUGH of LEWISHAM COUNCIL MEETING 29 NOVEMBER 2011 Question Asked By: Mr R Stocker Member T Q Time PUBLIC QUESTION NO. 1 LONDON BOROUGH OF LEWISHAM COUNCIL MEETING 29 NOVEMBER 2011 Question asked by: Mr R Stocker Member to reply: Councillor Klier Question (1) How many Lewisham schools have registered for the new School Games? (i) How many primary schools (ii) How many secondary schools 2) How many secondary school have taken up the one day a week funding for sport co-ordinators? 3) How many primary schools have brought into the new secondary school provision? Reply 1. (i) 19 primary schools have registered for the school games. (ii) 12 secondary schools have registered for the school games. 2. This is still being confirmed by the Lewisham School Games Organisers, but 8 secondary schools are investing the funding into staff teacher-release. 3. Secondary teacher releases are helping to deliver the School Games. 19 primary schools have bought in. On a more local level, in some instances the secondary schools have opened up the opportunity for primaries to buy-in extra support/resource. The schools where this has been offered are Sydenham, Forest Hill and Bonus Pastor. A further 16 schools have invested cash into these posts to get greater support, similar to what they would have received previously through the school sport co-ordinators. Question Q Time PUBLIC QUESTION NO. 2 LONDON BOROUGH OF LEWISHAM COUNCIL MEETING 29 NOVEMBER 2011 Question asked by: Mr R Stocker Member to reply: Councillor Klier Question Of the following 3 Multi Use Game Areas funded by Big Lottery funding how many junior schools (and other secondary schools) have regular timetabled access to these facilities? Prendergast Federation of Schools (PHFC and PLFC) – Multi use games area £173,179 Deptford Green School – Refurbish multi use games area £107,712 Bonus Pastor Secondary School – Multi-use games area £102,395 What was the outcome of the dispute between contractors and the council regarding the Prendergast Federation of Schools (PHFC and PLFC) MUGA? Reply Of the three MUGA projects listed, only the MUGA for Prendergast Federation of Schools (PHFC and PLFC) based at Prendergast Hilly Fields College progressed to completion. The Big Lottery funded (BLF) projects for improvement of PE and Sports facilities at Deptford Green and Bonus Pastor schools could not be progressed because it proved impossible to meet the BLF deadlines of building completion by 31st March 2008, whilst meeting the need to integrate these MUGAs within the respective new school buildings then an early design stage of their Building Schools for the Future projects. MUGAs for these schools have therefore been funded from the Building Schools for the Future budget as part of the total redesign of each school. The Local Authority does not keep a record of the usage of the Prendergast MUGA by other schools, as this is in the control of the Prendergast Federation of Schools. Both Prendergast Ladywell Fields and Hilly Fields Colleges use the MUGA regularly for lessons and extra curricular clubs. In terms of community use, as a school games hub Prendergast Hilly Fields College hosts a number of primary competitions and festivals on the astroturf, including the whole school sports day for St Mary Magdalen Primary school. On Thursday evenings from 5pm, the Primary U-11 district football side trains there every week and on Tuesday evenings from 4.30pm AC Paulista train their U-10s and U-12s. On occasion, the school also runs Junior Football leaders and Level 1 courses. Prendergast Ladywell Fields College also hosted the first primary schools 2012 Olympic Games day in July. Local resident and GB athlete, Conrad Williams, attended the event and talked about his sports career. Year 4 and 5 students from Rathfern, Rushey Green, Stillness, Gordonbrock, St Marys CE and Brockley primary schools took part in a number of activities including indoor rowing, basketball, football and athletics. The dispute between the contractor and the Council regarding the fitness for purpose of the original surface of the Prendergast School MUGA was resolved by the contractor agreeing to replace the surface, with a further upgrade of the fencing paid for from the Council's Big Lottery fund budget. Q Time PUBLIC QUESTION NO. 3 LONDON BOROUGH OF LEWISHAM COUNCIL MEETING 29 NOVEMBER 2011 Question asked by: Mr R Stocker Member to reply: Councillor Klier Question How many, and which, Lewisham schools have signed up for the 2012 Get Set programme:- http://getset.london2012.com/en/home <http://getset.london2012.com/en/home > Reply London 2012 Games have provided Lewisham with a list of schools, colleges and academies which are eligible to join the London 2012 Get Set and Get Set Network programmes. The list contains 100 schools, colleges and academies. The breakdown for this figure is 89 schools, colleges and academies and 11, which are independently maintained. As of November 23 rrd 2011, 82 schools, colleges and academies, including 4 independently run establishments have signed up to the Get Set Network. The following schools have joined the Get Set Network:- Abbey Manor College Adamsrill Primary School All Saints CE Primary School Ashmead Primary School Athelney Primary School Baring Primary School Bonus Pastor Catholic College Brent Knoll School Brindishe Lee School Brockley Primary School Childeric Primary School Christ Church CE Primary School Christ the King Sixth Form College Conisborough College Coopers Lane Primary School Crossways Sixth Form Dalmain Primary School Deptford Green School Deptford Park Primary School Downderry Primary School Edmund Waller Primary School Elfrida Primary School Eliot Bank Primary School Fairlawn Primary School Forest Hill School Forster Park Primary School Good Shepherd RC Primary School Gordonbrock Primary School Greenvale School Grinling Gibbons Primary School Haberdashers’ Aske’s Hatcham College Haberdashers’ Aske’s Knights Haberdashers’ Aske’s Knights - primary school formerly Merlin.

Lewisham College Heath House Preparatory School Blackheath High Junior School St Dunstan’s College The Council is in contact with all schools which have yet to join the programme, to support and lobby them to ensure they are all signed to the Get Set Network by the December 16 th 2011 closing date. Supplementary Question There seems to be some confusion between schools that are registered for this facility, and those that are members of the facility. According to data that I looked up on the website, of primary schools, there are 78 registered schools, yet only 59 of these are members. To actually make the most of this project, and apply for Olympic tickets, you need to be members. I think the deadline is toward the end of December. I have a list of schools. There are 26 of them in the Borough that have not actually gone the full way, including some of the more obvious schools: Dalmain, Holbeach, Sandhurst and Torridon. Can someone please follow this up? It is a wonderful facility and it seems that Lewisham schools are not making the best of what is available to them. Supplementary Reply Yes, I can assure you that we will be sending out letters to the schools that are not full members and who are not joined up at all. As you can see from the answer, the majority are involved with the Get Set programme, connected with the Olympics. Q Time PUBLIC QUESTION NO. 4 LONDON BOROUGH OF LEWISHAM COUNCIL MEETING 29 NOVEMBER 2011 Question asked by: Mr R Woolford - Lewisham People before Profit Member to reply: Councillor Smith Question What was the total Income from rent and business rates paid by the 30 local traders in 2010 who were evicted from Catford Shopping Centre to be replaced by Poundland, What is the rent and Business rates that Poundland will be paying, in 2012. Reply The rent payable by tenants is considered to be commercially sensitive information. As a result of the changes to the Catford Centre, following the letting of a unit to Poundland, rent income is estimated to increase by £37,000 in the 2012/13 financial year. Business rates on the property are not dependant on the tenant or tenants but are calculated on the rateable value of the property. The current annual business rate charge is £23,866.71 Q Time PUBLIC QUESTION NO. 5 LONDON BOROUGH OF LEWISHAM COUNCIL MEETING 29 NOVEMBER 2011 Question asked by: Mr R Stocker Member to reply: Councillor Smith Question I asked a public question at the full council meeting on Wednesday, 29th June, 2011 regarding the council approved cycling funding in the 2011/12 Local Implementation Plan on behalf of Lewisham Cyclists. Whilst we would like to thank Councillor Smith for meeting us in late July we have yet have details of the £150,000 Lewisham Council agreed would be allocated to "open up barriers to cycling (one way streets, road closure etc); introduce cycle parking; create new or improve existing routes etc, away from the other planned Corridor/Neighbourhood proposals.", (which have to be spent by 31st March 2012) nor any forward plan on communicating with local cycling groups.

Keep this together with the attached information, and use it to help guide you through the KS5 Transition process. If you or your parents/carers have any questions at any time, please email me – no question is a silly question! Qualifications Explained – What Can I Apply For? You are currently studying for GCSEs which are Level 1 or 2 qualifications, depending on what grades you achieve at the end of Year 11. Generally speaking: if you are forecast to achieve GCSEs at grades 1 - 4 then you can apply for Level 1 or 2 BTEC courses or an intermediate level apprenticeship. Once you have completed this you can progress to Level 3 courses. if you are forecast to achieve GCSEs at grades 4 or above then you can apply to study A Levels, Level 3 BTEC courses, or intermediate level or advanced level apprenticeships. (Most A Level courses will require you to have at least a grade 5 or 6 in the subjects you wish to study.) However if you are applying for a vocational trade-based course such as Hair and Beauty, Motor Vehicle Mechanics or Electrical Installation, all courses start at Level 1 and then progress up to Level 2 and 3 courses.

  • Leathersellers' Federation of Schools
    Leathersellers’ Prendergast School Federation of Schools Prendergast Prendergast Ladywell Vale School School 20 March 2015 Dear Colleagues, Consultation on a proposed change of Prendergast School, Prendergast Vale School and Prendergast Ladywell School to Academy Status The Governing Board of the Leathersellers’ Federation of Schools is currently considering whether Prendergast School, Prendergast Ladywell School and Prendergast Vale School should become academies. The proposal is for the schools to become converter academies under a Multi Academy Trust. The decision to change status rests with the Federation’s Governing Board, however the Governors are committed to consider the views of all interested parties and we explain below how you may make your views known. Prendergast School is currently a Voluntary Aided School. Prendergast Vale School and Prendergast Ladywell School are currently Foundation Schools. All staff are employed by the Governing Board of the Leathersellers’ Federation of Schools. There would be three key differences if we convert to Academy status: The schools will cease to be maintained by the Local Authority but will, instead, be funded and maintained directly by the Department for Education (DfE). The funding of the schools will be through an Academy Agreement with the Department for Education, and the amount of funding we will receive will increase slightly through the payment of additional Education Support Grant (ESG). A charitable Academy Trust will be set up to hold ownership of the schools’ land and buildings, and to receive funding from the DfE. The Board of Trustees will oversee the running of all three schools within the MAT. In addition there will be a local governing body of each school, which will include staff representatives, elected parents and members of the school community.

  • Lewisham's Determined Admissions Criteria For
    Appendix A Lewisham’s proposed admissions criteria for nursery schools and nursery classes in community primary schools (children starting nursery during the academic year 2022/23) Where there is over-subscription, places will be offered to: 1 A looked after child’ or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order. A looked after child is a child who is a) in the care of a local authority, or b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989). Details must be supplied by the allocated social worker or foster carer. .* it is expected that a revised School Admissions Code, expected early in 2020, will revise the definition of a looked after child to include children who have been adopted from care from outside of England. 2 In exceptional circumstances there is discretion to admit vulnerable children, as proposed by Lewisham’s Children Centre Criteria for Priority or Excluded (POE), on the grounds of their or their family’s severe medical or social need for that particular school and who would not otherwise qualify for admission. The application must be supported by a letter from a hospital consultant, social worker or similar professional, setting out the reasons why the nursery is the only one able to meet the child’s needs, before an admission decision is made. The admission decision will be made by the headteacher who may consult with the Executive Director for Children and Young People.
