  • Sept 2016 Langar Cum Barnstone Parish Newsletter
    Directing Local services Issue 48 - Sept 2016 Langar cum Barnstone Parish Newsletter Imogen Skirving will be fondly remembered by many parishioners for her contribution to the community and the great spirit and character for which she was renowned at Langar Hall. She will be sadly missed. Our condolences and best wishes go to her family. Imogen Skirving 1937-2016 0 I am pleased to welcome you to the latest edition of Signpost. It has been a busy summer in the parish. The scaffolding is down at long last from the Unicorns Head with assurances that it will reopen in time for Christmas. Fingers crossed. The Post Office in Langar has closed sadly and we wish Tim well with his retirement. The recent art exhibition was a great showcase of local talent and proved to be a popular event. I for one look forward to the next. August saw the Parish’s experimental visioning meeting. Usually the Parish Council do not meet in August. The visioning meeting was an opportunity for councillors to meet informally with members of the community and listen to suggestions and ideas for improving where we live. Some issues were also raised and it is the Parish Councils intention to discuss these at our regular meetings over the next few months. More details about what was raised at the visioning meeting can be found later in this newsletter. In May I was privileged to become Chairman of the Parish Council. It is my intention to stand in the role for one year as I believe it is important to keep things fresh.

  • Samworth Academy (NUSA)
    Date: xxx 2014 Contact: Esme Macauley www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk Tel: 0115 876 3382 Email: [email protected] Nottingham schools make a comeback The schools being turned around after “Inadequate” judgements last year are “making a strong recovery”, education bosses say. Last December seven City schools and academies were judged to be failing their pupils by the Government education watchdog Ofsted. The schools rapidly drew up improvement plans to tackle the problems identified. The City Council intervened to give specialist support. One year on and Ofsted has endorsed the progress being made in schools to get back on track. Making strides in behaviour and attendance Two of the first improvements are better pupil behaviour and attendance. Twelve months ago all of the schools had attendance rates well below the national average. Today the figures have improved by up to 4% and are now more in line with attendance rates nationally. Pupil behaviour has also improved with more students demonstrating a good attitude to learning. Educations bosses put the improvements down to the consistent enforcement of attendance and behaviour policies. Cllr Sam Webster, Executive Assistant for Schools at the City Council, said: “The improvements in school attendance are really quite remarkable. It is incredibly challenging to turn around poor attitudes to learning, to ensure more pupils are consistently at school and working hard. “School leaders have to be congratulated for embracing new policies and approaches. They have consistently taken a zero tolerance stance to unauthorised school absence and poor behaviour such as swearing, wearing trainers and using mobile phones.

    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.
