Aiming Higher is 4children’s quality assurance framework for all childcare settings and integrated centres for young people within the 0-19 age range. The award recognises the dedication of both staff and parents, and the quality of the service being provided at Purford Green to the children attending the breakfast club. Purford Green Primary School Breakfast Club opened in 2007 with just seven children and now has 30 children on its roll, regularly enjoying a healthy breakfast every day in term Tell us your news... time. Publicise your event... There is a home from home environment with children ranging from age four to 11 years Promote your business... sharing a buffet-style breakfast. Have your say... Children are invited to socialise with friends before the start of the school day, trying out Buy copies of photos that appear here... crafts, reading or playing table top games. Mr Rammell said: “It was an absolute pleasure to visit the Purford Green Breakfast Club email: [email protected] and my real congratulations to staff and pupils for their well-deserved award. call: David Jackman on 07710 447868 "It is clear the club provides a real service in the community, to parents who need to get to work early and to children who benefit from a good breakfast before the start of the day. "I wish the club all the best for the future and I hope it goes from strength to strength.” Breakfast club supervisor Elaine Boultwood said: “It is a pleasure to work here and the children are a delight to be around. This Aiming Higher award was a real honour, and myself and all the staff were delighted to welcome Bill Rammell MP.” Breakfast clubs form part of this Labour Government’s commitment to extended schools. In 2007, Education Secretary Ed Balls announced an extra £1 billion for extended schools which meant families would be able to access services such as breakfast clubs, childcare, family learning and parental support, as well as having quick and easy access to specialist services for their child such as speech therapy. EXCLUSIVE: Police renew appeal 29th March 2010 POLICE are to mark the ninth anniversary of the death of Stuart Lubbock on Wednesday to make a renewed appeal for information. Despite painstaking police investigations, no-one has ever been charged over the death of Stuart who was found at the then Roydon home of entertainer Michael Barrymore after he returned to the celebrity's home after a night out at the Millennium nightclub in Harlow. Barrymore and others were arrested in connection with Lubbock's death but no charges have ever resulted. Police have made several appeals for information from anyone who was at the property in Beaumont Park Drive who has information about what happened. Stuart's father, Terry, has repeatedly said someone who attended the impromptu party must have information which could help detectives solve the case once and for all. Police reopened the investigation after an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission concluded that police made a “premature” decision to suspend the first investigation in December 2001 when forensic work was incomplete and enquiries were outstanding. The IPCC upheld six of 36 complaints and allegations made by Stuart’s father. The IPCC investigation found the scene was not effectively preserved, unauthorised people were allowed to stay at the scene, blood found on boxer shorts, towels and a robe was not promptly investigated, a member of the public was allowed to take the temperature of the swimming pool and the investigation was suspended prematurely. Thirty complaints were not upheld including allegations that the police through incompetence or corruption failed to investigate Stuart’s death effectively, failed to investigate major contradictions in accounts given by witnesses about the circumstances in which Stuart died and misled the Coroner ’s Court by stating Stuart was found in the swimming pool. The IPCC investigation discovered two pieces of evidence, which could have been crucial went missing. A swimming pool thermometer which appears in photographs of the scene, and a detached door handle, were never seized by police or forensically tested. It was therefore not been possible for police to establish whether or not the implements were used to cause Stuart ’s injuries. Speaking at the time of the IPCC ruling, IPCC Commissioner David Petch said: “There are absolutely no grounds to support allegations that officers acted corruptly. The view that the entire investigation was incompetent is not borne out by the bulk of the evidence. “But undoubtedly there were failings in some aspects of the investigation. ”The security around the scene in the first few hours should have been more rigorous. As a consequence there are lingering fears that because the integrity of the scene was not properly preserved, important evidence may have been lost. ”Potential witnesses should have been removed from the house and grounds at the earliest opportunity. Yet some people were allowed to stay and tidy up in the house. “Forensic examinations of some items found at the scene were not carried out as promptly as they should have been - although this was remedied." Essex Police "apologised unreservedly" to the family and friends of Stuart Lubbock following the publication of the IPCC report. Hundreds turn out for hospice run 28th March 2010 03/05/2010 Everything Harlow Page 2 of 16 HUNDREDS of runners turned out for the annual St Clare Hospice 10k fun run. Organisers say more than 500 runners registered for today's race which started and finished at the hospice in Hastingwood Road, Hastingwood. The event is a favorite with local running clubs and those taking part in next month's London Marathon. A full report will appear here later. Guided walk in Nazeing 27th March 2010 AN Easter Monday guided walk is being held in Nazeing. The walk, of about five miles, starts from Bumbles Green Leisure Centre at 10am and is expected to take about two-and-a-half hours. Parking is available. The route will feature All Saints Church and Nazeing Common, where there are superb views and skylarks and other birds are often to be seen. The going should not be hard but walking boots or similar stout footwear is recommended. Dogs are welcome, but on a lead. Town areas to get makeover 26th March 2010 AREAS in Harlow could be receiving a dramatic makeover following a new partnership initiative named ‘Love Harlow’. Leading the project, Sgt Rob Hance said: "Harlow is a vibrant town and some beautiful green areas. However, a small number of mindless people who damage and vandalise mean pockets of areas can appear run down, leaving a negative image for people who live there, work or visit. "The Love Harlow project is believed to be a unique project which aims to work with partner agencies and communities to identify these areas and target any issues such as anti-social behaviour, graffiti, drugs, burglary and car crime. "Children in the local schools have already become actively involved, producing crime reduction artwork around any areas identified and these will be displayed throughout the town. "During the Easter school holidays there will be daily events, which will be available for everyone to become involved, such as: drug and crime prevention days, opportunities to meet neighbourhood policing officers, to painting graffiti covered buildings. "We hope to embrace the true community spirit in Harlow this spring to drive out anti-social behaviour and continue to make Harlow a place to enjoy. "I would like to take this opportunity to ask everyone for their help. Please try and get involved, no matter how small, even if it is to show an interest and support your area. One or two hours help can really make a big difference." The partnership initiative hopes to engage with members of the community to identify, invest and reinvigorate areas across Harlow. Harlow Council’s environment and community committee vice-chairman Joel Charles said: "We are supporting this project which will help improve the town and encourage people to take pride in where they live. "We want residents to work with us and be more active in looking after their areas. We can’t let the anti-social few win and bring down our areas. If we work together we can make a difference." The times and dates of the daily activities are available on the Essex Police website Further events will take place during the school holidays and throughout the summer, in particular projects around improving planted areas and green spaces. Anyone wanting to get involved or who would like further information, should ring Sgt Rob Hance at Harlow Neighbourhood Policing Team on 0300 333 4444.

  • Protecting the Public Interest in Higher Education Bill Rammell
    Protecting the Public Interest in Higher Education Bill Rammell Occasional Paper 15 About the Author Bill Rammell took office as Vice Chancellor at the University of Bedfordshire in September 2012. Prior to that he was Deputy Vice Chancellor at Plymouth University where he was responsible for the student experience and internationalisation. Bill was MP for Harlow from 1997 to 2010. He was Minister of State for Further and Higher Education in the Labour Government and also served as Minister of State for the Foreign Office and Minister of State for the Armed Forces. With a commitment to widening access to higher education that is rooted in personal, academic and government experience, Bill leads the University’s mission to deliver the best possible student experience for an international learning community. He is passionate about the University’s record and role in transforming lives, promoting employability and world- leading research. Contents Executive summary 4 Introduction 6 1. Defining the public interest 11 2. Higher education providers 23 3. Students 31 4. The higher education system 39 5. Conclusion and summary of recommendations 45 References 49 www.hepi.ac.uk 3 Executive summary This paper argues that the higher education reforms currently making their way through Parliament do not place sufficient emphasis on the public interest. The drive towards competition and marketisation of the higher education sector puts at risk the fundamental purpose of universities to serve the public interest and deliver public benefit. The loss of direct public funding breaks the established link between funding and regulation in the public interest. The new Office for Students (OfS) is to be tasked with promoting market competition and will take over the historic duty of the Privy Council to secure public interest in institutional governance.
