(AQW 10797/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness (The First Minister and deputy First Minister): Implementation of the Children and Young People’s Strategy is being driven forward as a major project within the context of the Delivering Social Change (DSC) framework that we announced in the Programme for Government. A key aim of DSC is to improve the outcomes for children and young people. Implementation of the Strategy will continue to be led by a Ministerial Sub-Committee (MSC) which is jointly chaired by the Junior Ministers, with all Executive Ministers as members. The MSC and the Executive Sub-Committee will meet on alternate quarters with four scheduled meetings per year. The Delivering Social Change Programme Board, which is made up of senior officials from across Departments, is currently focusing on children and young people and will be bringing forward proposals in the coming months on implementing structures, including the involvement of stakeholders, to the Ministerial Sub-Committee for approval. Decisions will be made at that stage on how any changes will be disseminated. Delivering Social Change Programme Mrs Overend asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister how the Delivering Social Change Programme will contribute to a reduction in the level of child poverty. (AQW 11383/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: Delivering Social Change is the Executive’s new delivery framework for social policy and our approach to reducing poverty and tackling social exclusion. It will bring together short and long term measures to improve the opportunities for young people. Delivering Social Change aims to deliver a sustained reduction in poverty and associated issues across all ages, including an improvement in children’s and young people’s health, well-being and life opportunities. We are committed to driving forward new actions that reflect more collaborative and more integrated delivery of services. Through the Delivering Social Change programme board, we are working to deliver new cross-departmental cross-disciplinary approaches in which the services we prioritise for children will be those which deliver the greatest impact in promoting their opportunities throughout their lives. WA 403 Friday 15 June 2012 Written Answers Inquiry into Historical Institutional Child Abuse Mrs D Kelly asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister when the public consultation on the draft Terms of Reference for the Inquiry into Historical Institutional Child Abuse will be published. (AQO 1877/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: The terms of reference for the Investigation and Inquiry into Historical Institutional Abuse were published on 31 May. Prior to publication they were discussed with representatives of victims and survivors and agreed with the Inquiry’s Chairman, Sir Anthony Hart. Bi-Lateral Meetings with Ministerial Colleagues Mr Moutray asked the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on the bi-lateral meetings with Ministerial colleagues, which were arranged by the junior Ministers, to discuss issues affecting children and young people. (AQW 11563/11-15) Mr P Robinson and Mr M McGuinness: Junior Ministers recently met with Ministerial colleagues from DARD, DE, DSD, DRD, DHSSPS, DEL and DOJ to consider further how to progress the work on addressing child poverty.

Put simply, Critical Realism highlights a mind dependent aspect of the world, which reaches to understand (and comes to understanding of) the mind independent world. Contemporary critical realism most commonly refers to a philosophical approach associated with Roy Bhaskar. Bhaskar's thought combines a general philosophy of science (transcendental realism) with a philosophy of social science (critical naturalism) to describe an interface between the natural and social worlds.

  • Briefing Notes for Education Committee 15 October 2014 Colin
    Briefing Notes for Education Committee 15th October 2014 Colin Knox and Vani Borooah Definitions Difference between shared education and integrated education: Shared Education Shared Education encompasses a number of different types of sharing, from projects and shared classes through to shared education models, such as those defined in the Bain report (eg: Federations/Confederations; Shared Campus and Shared Faith schools). Under Article 64 (1) of The Education Reform (NI) Order 1989, integrated education is defined as “the education together at school of Protestant and Roman Catholic pupils (Minister of Education) The Terms of Reference for the Ministerial Advisory Group on Advancing Shared Education defined Shared Education as: The organisation and delivery of education so that it: meets the needs of, and provides for the education together of, learners from all Section 75 categories and socio-economic status; involves schools and other education providers of differing ownership, sectoral identity and ethos, management type or governance arrangements; and delivers educational benefits to learners, promotes the efficient and effective use of resources, and promotes equality of opportunity, good relations, equality of identity, respect for diversity and community cohesion (MAG Report) By its nature, Shared Education involves more than one school type. This view has been endorsed by the Ministerial Advisory Group, which further refined the definition to “...involves two or more schools or other education institutions from different sectors

We live in a world that is constantly changing – when will Brexit happen, will Brexit happen, and what will the consequences be. Most of us use technology that even a few years ago would have seemed beyond our imagination and if we stop to think for a moment what the world will look like in 2026 when our current Year 8 pupils finish their time in Belfast High School it can become a little frightening. It is therefore more important than ever that we continue to provide our pupils with the best possible education both in the classroom and through the many and varied extra-curricular activities which Belfast High School provides, and I hope as you read this report you will be inspired as we celebrate many of the achievements of our pupils over the past year. As well as constant change all schools continue to operate under severe financial pressure and we would like to thank all the staff for their commitment to the school in these challenging times and their continuing desire to provide our pupils with the best possible opportunity for them to reach their full potential and their aspiration to instil in each pupil the determination to strive in all activities, academic and otherwise, to achieve his or her own level of excellence.

  • Department of Education
    24 January 2012 AQW 6153/11-15 Trevor Lunn has asked: To ask the Minister of Education to list the schools which can hold the pupil numbers recommended in the Bain Report, broken down by school type. In the Report of the Independent Strategic Review of Education (the Bain Report) it was recommended that the minimum enrolments for new primary schools (Years 1-7) should be 140 pupils in urban areas and 105 pupils in rural areas and for Years 8-12 in new post primary schools should be 500 pupils. It was recommended that the minimum enrolment for a new sixth form in an 11-18 school should be 100 pupils. The Department’s sustainable schools policy classifies schools located within the Belfast and Derry District Council areas as urban. Schools located in other areas are considered rural. Schools which have an approved enrolment number in 2011/12 that falls within the recommended minimum enrolments are detailed below. Urban Primary Schools Controlled Ashlea Primary School Avoniel Primary School Ballygolan Primary School Ballysillan Primary School Belmont Primary School Blackmountain Primary School Blythefield Primary School Botanic Primary School Carr's Glen Primary School Cavehill Primary School Cumber Claudy Primary School Currie Primary School Donegall Road Primary School Drumahoe Primary School Dundela Infants School Ebrington Controlled Primary School Edenbrooke Primary School Eglinton Primary School Elmgrove Primary School Euston Street Primary School Fane Street Primary School Finaghy Primary School Forth River Primary School Fountain Primary School Glenwood Primary School Greenhaw Primary School Greenwood Primary School Harding Memorial Primary School Harmony Primary School Knocknagoney Primary School Ligoniel Primary School Londonderry Model Primary School Lowwood Primary School Malvern Primary School Nettlefield Primary School Newbuildings Primary School Orangefield Primary School Rosetta Primary School Seaview Primary School, Belfast.

  • The Hughes Report’ July 2011
    Report to the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister from the Advocate for Access to Education ‘The Hughes Report’ July 2011 1 1. Introduction In December 2010 I was appointed by the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister to be the government’s Advocate for Access to Education. Over the first 6 months of 2011, I have visited schools, sixth form and further education colleges and universities throughout England and in Northern Ireland to meet students, other young people, parents, teachers, advisers and many others to discuss with them the new system for financing higher education and the best ways of ensuring maximum access to all colleges and universities by all appropriately qualified students. Many individuals and organisations have written and spoken to me, and come to meetings, and all their enthusiasm and input has been much appreciated. It was clear from the beginning how keen people were for the government to lead changes in policy and practice to deliver improved access and widened participation in our colleges and universities. There is no shortage of ideas, and no shortage of relevant experience and good practice. My task has been to try to distil this and come up with recommendations consistent with the brief given by the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister. At the end of this work I went back to some of the young people who had contributed in the previous six months, and asked them questions on some of the issues which had arisen most clearly around the country, and which were most influential on my recommendations.

CONCLUSION 13 APPENDIX1 - SCHOOLS VISITED BY THE INSPECTORATE APPENDIX2 - COLLEGES OF FURTHER EDUCATION VISITED BY THE INSPECTORATE APPENDIX3 - DRUG EDUCATION IN NORTHERN IRELAND SCHOOLS AND FURTHER EDUCATION COLLEGES (FECs): A QUANTITIVE SURVEY 4 FOREWORD These papers consist of a report on the findings of a survey of drug education and associated pastoral support in post- primary schools and colleges of further education, carried out by the Education and Training Inspectorate of the Department of Education for Northern Ireland (DENI) in 1996-98. The Inspectorate is also conducting a similar exercise in the youth service in 1998-99. I should like to acknowledge the co-operation of the schools and colleges visited by the inspectors, the young people with whom discussions took place, and the Health Promotion Agency whose work in the field of drug education helped determine the focus of the survey. I hope that the findings of this report will provide a baseline against which all of those involved in the planning and delivery of drug education and pastoral care, in post-primary schools and colleges, may evaluate the quality and extent of their own provision and plan for future developments. T J SHAW Chief Inspector A number of quantitative terms are used in the report to comment on aspects of drug education in the schools visited.

  • Coleraine Grammar School, County
    POST-PRIMARY INSPECTION Coleraine Grammar School, County Londonderry Education and Training Voluntary, selective, co-educational 11-19 school Inspectorate Report of a Follow-up Inspection (Involving Action Short of Strike) in September 2018 FOLLOW-UP TO THE INSPECTION OF COLERAINE GRAMMAR SCHOOL, COUNTY LONDONDERRY, BT51 3LA (342-0317) The Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI) carried out an inspection of Coleraine Grammar School in November 20161 which concluded that the school needed to address important areas for improvement in the interest of all the learners. The area for improvement identified in the inspection was the need to raise the standards the pupils attain, particularly through: • improving the consistency in the quality of all aspects of learning and teaching; • improving the out-workings of monitoring and evaluation, including the action planning and use of data, so that it impacts positively on pupil experiences and outcomes; and • improving the quality of communication across the school. During the inspection the quality of the provision in English, mathematics and careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) were evaluated as having important areas for improvement. The school’s post-inspection action plans identified key actions to bring about the necessary improvements and were adjusted appropriately in light of feedback given by the ETI. The progress being made in the areas for improvement was discussed with the school in an interim follow-up inspection visit (IFUV) carried out by the ETI on 5 February 2018. The IFUV was impacted by action short of strike. A follow-up inspection was carried out in September 2018. In the interval since the initial inspection the school received support from the Education Authority (EA) on action planning for middle leaders.

  • Ulster Schools Athletics Champions 1949-2020
    Ulster Schools Athletics Champions 1949-2020 While inter school athletics was a regular feature of the summer term in schools in the North of Ireland after partition it was not until four years after the SeCond World War, in 1949, that the Ulster Grammar Schools held the first official Championships. These were, of Course, a male only preserve Covering three age groups and were dominated by a small number of schools Contesting 24 individual events of which Royal Belfast Academical Institution won 8 and Methodist College Belfast 6. By 1955 twenty four schools had entered the fray and the same year sixteen schools, nine from Belfast, took part in the inaugural Ulster Grammar Schools for Girls at the Queens University Sport Ground at Cherryvale. Co-incidentally it was the same year that the North of Ireland Womens Athletics Association held their first Championships. Competition was limited to 13 individual events, the longest of which was 220 yards. The throws were Confined to the Javelin for Seniors and the Cricket Ball for the two younger age groups. The first Cricket Ball Champion Bridget Robinson would go on to represent Northern Ireland in the Commonwealth Games in the Javelin. By 1967 the Championships had increased in popularity with 33 Grammar Schools represented in the Boy’s Championships. That year there were two Championship meetings held one designated the Ulster Grammar Schools and the other the Ulster SeCondary Schools although it has to be said that few athletes from non Grammar schools made much of an impact. The year 1968 will go down in history as the most significant in the history of school’s athletics in Ulster as it saw the Coming together of all of the separate organisations to form the Ulster SeCondary Schools Athletics Association catering for all boys and girls in Post Primary Education in Ulster.
