  • With a Lack of Investment in Technology for a Decade, This Is How a Community-Based Primary School Caught up and Are Now in a St
    With a lack of investment in technology for a decade, this is how a community-based Primary School caught up and are now in a strong position to improve the education of all of their pupils The background Vickerstown Primary and Brambles Nursery School is a beautiful setting in the idyllic coastal town of Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria in North West England. Given the remote location, employment can be limited, so the school is seen as a beacon in the local environment. This is reflected in a clear vision to provide an outstanding education at the heart of their community, making every effort for the children at Vickerstown to have the best academic start and grounding possible to enable them to become successful members of society. The 159 pupils come from a mixed catchment – some with Education, Health and Care Plans – bringing added obligations on the staff to help ensure all children receive the very best care and support. The school has a proven local reputation for the support they provide to children with autism. The challenge Vickerstown Primary moved to new purpose-built premises in 2011 and received significant investment to help embed the use of technology in teaching and learning across the school at that time. However, since then – almost 10 years ago – there has been very little further investment in technology, and a technical audit undertaken in February 2020 concluded: • the underlying server operating systems and the majority of user device operating systems were unsupported and posed a potential security risk • student devices were aging and impacting the learning within the school.

Adopted, together with the County’s Minerals and Waste Local Plan and the Cumbria and Lake District Joint Structure Plan and the Regional Spatial Strategy and Local Development Documents of the new Local Development Framework, these form the statutory Development Plan for the area. There are also national guidelines in relation to planning issues that the Local Plan must interpret into local policy. At the time the plan was being written, the Government were in the process of revising the national planning guidance in relation to housing, ‘Planning Policy Guidance Note 3’. To keep the plan up to date the Borough Council resolved to alter the Housing Chapter to bring it up to date with this guidance. As a result of the provisions of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, the Local Plan Review, and the Housing Chapter Alteration once adopted, will be saved for the period set out below, or until they are revoked or replaced by the documents in the Local Development Framework.

Site Overview: Walney Island is composed of glacial deposits overlaying a rock platform; cliffs along the open coast are cut into these glacial sand and gravels, which provide little resistance to erosion. The two shorelines of Walney Island experience very different exposure conditions; the west coast is exposed to the Irish Sea whilst, in contrast, the east coast is sheltered from wave action. At either end of the Island, large sand and shingle spits extend towards the Duddon Estuary to the north and Morecambe Bay to the south.
