In February 2019, Lambeth joined the Group in the first HE-FE merger of its kind. Since then we have been working to integrate these individual but aligned institutions into an effective Group of educational providers. This has included ‘behind the scenes’ work such as the implementation of service and system collaborations in areas like ICT, compliance, and procurement; and while these operational changes are increasing effectiveness across the Group, they are secondary to the benefits we are creating for our learners. There is an acknowledged problem in England with high numbers of learners failing to make the transition beyond Level 3 (A-Level equivalent). In 2015/16, of the 1.1 million learners in further education that completed an eligible learning aim at Level 3, only 10% went on to an apprenticeship or study for a qualification at Level 4 or higher.

  • RYE LANE: a SHORT HISTORY at the Beginning of The
    RYE LANE: A SHORT HISTORY At the beginning of the 19th century, when Rye Lane was called South Street, Peckham was “a small, quiet, retired village”. In her diary of the years 1822-1868, Mary Woolley described her grandfather’s house in Peckham Rye as surrounded by fields. A stage coach ran from Peckham Rye to Mansion House. There were very few buildings. A painting from 1810 depicts typical old-world cottages. But there were at least two fine properties at the northern end of Rye Lane: Hanover House, designed by Sir John Vanbrugh and built (according to Woolley) in the latter part of the 17th century, approximately where the Car Phone Warehouse shop is today. It was demolished c.1835. Across the road, now the location of JP Sports, was Peckham Lodge, where banker Timothy Brown hosted radical soirées for famous celebrities of the day. For some time, Peckham’s only church was a non-conformist meeting house on the corner with the High Street. This was replaced in 1817 by Hanover Chapel. In 1819 a Baptist Chapel opened, only to be demolished to make way for the railway in 1863, when the existing church was built opposite the end of what is now Highshore Road. There was also a strong Quaker presence; in 1826 the Meeting House in Hanover Street, close by Rye Lane, opened for a somewhat elite congregation. An Anglican church, All Saints, just off the Lane, was consecrated by Bishop Samuel Wilberforce in 1872. This ecclesiastical expansion went hand in hand with the commercial development of Peckham, encouraged by the extension of the Grand Surrey Canal in 1826.

The National Health Service has a proud and strong history of promoting equality and diversity. Indeed, it is enshrined within the NHS constitution that service users are entitled to expect services which are of high quality, person centred and accessible. There have been significant changes in equality legislation over the past few years, which will impact on all service delivery in the future. Both the Equality Act 2010 and the Health and Social Care Act 2012 aim to tackle inequality and drive improvements in service delivery.

  • The Crystal Palace
    The Crystal Palace The Crystal Palace was a cast-iron and plate-glass structure originally The Crystal Palace built in Hyde Park, London, to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. More than 14,000 exhibitors from around the world gathered in its 990,000-square-foot (92,000 m2) exhibition space to display examples of technology developed in the Industrial Revolution. Designed by Joseph Paxton, the Great Exhibition building was 1,851 feet (564 m) long, with an interior height of 128 feet (39 m).[1] The invention of the cast plate glass method in 1848 made possible the production of large sheets of cheap but strong glass, and its use in the Crystal Palace created a structure with the greatest area of glass ever seen in a building and astonished visitors with its clear walls and ceilings that did not require interior lights. It has been suggested that the name of the building resulted from a The Crystal Palace at Sydenham (1854) piece penned by the playwright Douglas Jerrold, who in July 1850 General information wrote in the satirical magazine Punch about the forthcoming Great Status Destroyed Exhibition, referring to a "palace of very crystal".[2] Type Exhibition palace After the exhibition, it was decided to relocate the Palace to an area of Architectural style Victorian South London known as Penge Common. It was rebuilt at the top of Town or city London Penge Peak next to Sydenham Hill, an affluent suburb of large villas. It stood there from 1854 until its destruction by fire in 1936.

Many of our family history resources were produced by the parish vestries and date from the 1600s to 1900. At that time the vast majority of this area was not part of London and you will find references to locations from Bankside to Camberwell as being in the County of Surrey. The three Metropolitan Boroughs of Southwark, Bermondsey and Camberwell were formed in 1900 and were part of the County of London.
