  • Education and Learning Strategy 2018/22
    Education and Learning Strategy 2018/22 101240 (10.18) Welcome Welcome to Lambeth’s Education and Learning Strategy 2018–22 which looks ahead to the next few years and outlines our shared ambition for our learners of all ages. It has been developed in partnership between schools, other educational establishments and the Council. We want Lambeth to continue to be at the forefront of change and improvement in education, retaining good relationships between education providers and the Council and building on our collective strengths and achievements. We have strong partnerships between schools, colleges, neighbouring authorities, families, local communities and the Council that enable us to work towards securing an autonomous and self- improving education system. This commitment to raising standards is supported by a sound infrastructure of early years provision in our childcare, nursery school and children centre provision. Our charter for education and learning encapsulates our aspirations and ways of working together (see appendix 1, page 8). The overwhelming majority of Lambeth schools have chosen to retain their close working relationship with the Council. In 2017 the Lambeth Schools Partnership was launched to sustain high quality outcomes and excellent teaching and learning across the borough. The partnership is united in its vision that schools and other education settings should build on an existing culture of collaborative working to enable all the borough’s children and young people to experience the best possible education opportunities, outcomes and life chances. This Strategy is aligned to the overall role of the Council in supporting growth, improving community resilience, enhancing place and providing support to the vulnerable.

  • Southwark Pupil Place Planning
    Item No. Classification: Date: Meeting Name: 15. Open 29 October 2019 Cabinet Report title: Pupil Place Planning Ward(s) or groups affected: All Cabinet Member: Councillor Jasmine Ali, Children, Schools and Adult Care FOREWORD - COUNCILLOR JASMINE ALI, CABINET MEMBER FOR CHILDREN, SCHOOLS AND ADULT CARE Southwark is widely seen as a great place to bring up children, with lovely schools where children attain good educational outcomes. Our recent £200m investment programme of school building and refurbishment has transformed many of our schools into educational landmarks. Each year our education team help our schools get closer and closer to our target of 100 per cent good or outstanding schools. At the time of writing we are at 93% good or outstanding; with Ofsted currently in the borough, we have high hopes for the remaining 7 per cent. Southwark Council is successfully meeting demand for primary school places, and is making excellent progress meeting demand for secondary places. We can offer a primary or secondary place to all Southwark applicants and are covered for any late applicants, who we will be able to accommodate. Up until recently, Southwark was experiencing a gradual, long-term rise in demand for primary places. Then last year we saw an overall drop in primary applications. Like many other London boroughs, we were obliged to go to the schools adjudicator to bring down pupil admission numbers. In Southwark we successfully reduced these for 12 primary schools. This means Southwark is more likely to match demand for primary places with supply correctly adjusted for this year. At the same time we are working with schools to repurpose any spare space they have as a result in their drop in pupil admissions.

  • Statistical Report 2015-16
    Statistical report 2015-16 The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is exceeding all expectations in Lambeth. More young people than ever before are taking part in and completing our valued programme. It has been an exceptional year. Schools in Lambeth recognise the importance of offering the DofE to their pupils. Participation in a DofE programme accelerates progress and attainment by encouraging independent learners and enhancing resilience, self-esteem and problem solving abilities. The link between DofE programmes and the new Ofsted framework is therefore an obvious one, and it is of little surprise that schools are opting to embrace the DofE in their wider offer. The diversity of organisations who offer the programme and the levels offered within existing centres have both been expanded. I am excited to be welcoming a number of new schools, colleges and youth groups to the programme and I am strongly encouraged by the increase in take up of the Gold award throughout the borough. The result is that the benefits of the DofE are available to more young people than ever before and is demonstrative of one of our guiding principles: the DofE is achievable by all. Whilst we are delighted with an increased demand and continued growth, it is important that we understand the pressure that this puts on our resources. The growth in the DofE and the progress that has been shown over such a small period of time is indicative of the potential within the borough. Continued investment into the skills and structure of our staff teams is essential to ensure young people are supported to complete their whole award and realise their potential.
