It has experienced rapid population growth, increasing by over 50,000 in the last 10 years up until 2015. There are five key town centers: Brixton, Clapham and Stockwell, North Lambeth (Waterloo, Vauxhall, Kennington), and Norwood and Streatham. Lambeth is the 5th most deprived Borough in London. One in five of the borough’s residents work in jobs that pay below the London Living Wage. This is reflected by the fact that nearly one in four (24%) young people live in families who receive tax credits. Major regeneration developments and improvements are underway for Waterloo and Vauxhall and the Nine Elms Regeneration project which will drive the transformation of these areas. Lambeth College has three main campuses in the borough, based in Clapham, Brixton and Vauxhall. Approximately a quarter of the student cohort in any given academic year are 16‐18 learners. In addition to this, there is also a significantly growing proportion of 16-18 learners on Apprenticeship programmes, moderate numbers on workplace‐training provision for employers and school link programmes which are offered to relatively smaller learner volumes.

  • Open Letter to Address Systemic Racism in Further Education
    BLACK FURTHER EDUCATION LEADERSHIP GROUP 5th August 2020 Open letter to address systemic racism in further education Open letter to: Rt. Hon. Boris Johnson, Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Gavin Williamson MP, Secretary of State for Education, funders of further education colleges; regulatory bodies & further education membership bodies. We, the undersigned, are a group of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) senior leaders, and allies, who work or have an interest in the UK further education (FE) sector. The recent #BlackLivesMatter (#BLM) global protest following the brutal murder of George Floyd compels us all to revisit how we address the pervasive racism that continues to taint and damage our society. The openness, solidarity and resolve stirred by #BLM is unprecedented and starkly exposes the lack of progress made in race equality since ‘The Stephen Lawrence Enquiry’. Against a background of raised concerns about neglect in healthcare, impunity of policing, cruelty of immigration systems – and in education, the erasure of history, it is only right for us to assess how we are performing in FE. Only by doing so, can we collectively address the barriers that our students, staff and communities face. The personal, economic and social costs of racial inequality are just too great to ignore. At a time of elevated advocacy for FE, failure to recognise the insidious nature of racism undermines the sector’s ability to fully engage with all its constituent communities. The supporting data and our lived experiences present an uncomfortable truth, that too many BAME students and staff have for far too long encountered a hostile environment and a system that places a ‘knee on our neck’.

  • Dear All, This Week We Welcomed the ISI Inspection Team to the School
    Issue 168 20 September 2019 A Level Art Trip to Cass and Farnham Sculpture Parks Dear all, This week we welcomed the ISI inspection team to the school. The sun shone at both Prep and Seniors and it was a fantastic opportunity to be able to share with them what an excellent school Old Palace is. They spent two days immersing themselves in the life of the school from Nursery through to the Sixth Form. We await the formal outcome of the inspection, which usually takes about 8 weeks, and we will be able to share this with parents once it is received. Thank you to all the parents, students and staff who took the time to complete the ISI survey in advance of the visit. As ever, our girls were excellent ambassadors for the school and the inspection team were fully of praise for the mature, confident and enthusiastic way they engaged with the visitors. Well done! We were very pleased to welcome Father Andrew, Chaplain to the Whitgift Foundation, to the House assemblies in Chapel this week. With Founders’ Day only a week away it was a great opportunity to for the girls to learn or be reminded of the purpose of the event and the history of how the school was founded. The House assemblies also saw the Year 6 and the new Year 7 students welcomed to each House (Anselm, Hatton, Laud and Stafford) by the House Prefects. They are now proud owners of shiny, new House badges which they are wearing with pride around the school! With another weekend of fine weather ahead I hope all Old Palace families enjoy a very pleasant and relaxing weekend.

  • Education in the New Addington Area Update
    Education in the New Addington Area New Addington is an area of high deprivation in Croydon where the majority of children would be deemed ‘disadvantaged’ or are part of families that are ‘just about managing’, a term used in the Government consultation “Schools that work for everyone”. The area has historically been dominated by low- aspirational white British families but is now seeing an increasing number of immigrant (sub-Sahara African and Eastern European) families moving into the area, creating new challenges for the six primary schools1 in New Addington. These schools have very different characteristics: Ofsted ratings range from Outstanding to Inadequate; most are now academies (two of which are converter); the majority of schools are undersubscribed creating financial pressures; and the reputation of each school is not linked to its academic achievement. Rowdown Primary School has traditionally had a poor reputation, yet has been regularly ranked second or third out of the six in the DfE Performance Tables2. Aspirational parents have their children go to Fairchildes and Wolsey Infants, both of which are oversubscribed, whether they research performance or listen to public opinion. Others just send their child to the nearest school leaving Rowdown and Castle Hill (situated in the most deprived part of New Addington) as the poor relations. This means Rowdown has often been at the lower end of the rankings after Early Years (ranking in the bottom 5% of all Croydon primary schools in 2011-2014) and that Reception cohorts are generally around 45-50 pupils only. Rowdown manages to achieve expected progress3 in line with national average4, one of only two schools in New Addington that can claim this in 2015, the other being its academy sponsor, Fairchildes.
