  • Skills and Employability Service
    Skills and Employability Service By: David Knox To: ELS partnership board Date 21/10/15 Subject Skills and Employability - Guilds Classification: Hospitality, Leisure and Tourism is the most advanced guild so far with a wide range of support across the sector, culminating in the Big Hospitality Conversation with a date yet to be decided. There was a HLTT zone at the Kent Choices 4 U Live event in March. An employability passport is being reviewed with The Abbey School, MidKent College, The Rosemary Shrager Cookery School and East Kent College. Other key stakeholders include Visit Kent and Springboard UK, Tom Oulton is currently working with them for feedback on the pilot and agreeing the next stages. We have coordinated the schools engagement for Rosemary Shrager and her apprenticeship scheme this year. Between February and May twelve events in local schools were held. The feedback has been very good, and the school has received a good level of applications for the September start. The guild plans to create a web-based portal to assist employers to signpost changing employment and skills needs to ensure providers can meet existing demand and deliver skills pipelines in advance of future requirements. The portal will provide training and skills information, advice and guidance about entry paths to the sector and a means for employers to offer work experience, apprenticeships, part and full time work and professional career opportunities. The portal will link with Kent County Council’s Kent Choices 4U site. A scoping meeting has taken place with Visit Kent about whether Transport and Logistics would be set up as separate guilds, however from discussions with employers it was agreed to keep them as part of this guild.

    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.

    Local Authority Report To The Schools Adjudicator From Kent County Council 30 June 2018 Report Cleared by: Keith Abbott - Director of Education Planning and Access Date submitted: 28th June 2018 By : Scott Bagshaw – Head of Fair Access Contact email address: [email protected] Telephone number: 03000 415798 www.gov.uk/government/organisations/office-of-the-schools-adjudicator Please email your completed report to: [email protected] by 30 June 2018 and earlier if possible 1 Introduction Section 88P of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (the Act) requires every local authority to make an annual report to the adjudicator. The Chief Adjudicator then includes a summary of these reports in her annual report to the Secretary for State for Education. The School Admissions Code (the Code) sets out the requirements for reports by local authorities in paragraph 6. Paragraph 3.23 specifies what must be included as a minimum in the report to the adjudicator and makes provision for the local authority to include any other issues. The report must be returned to the Office of the Schools Adjudicator by 30 June 2018. The report to the Secretary of State for 2017 highlighted that at the normal points of admission the main admissions rounds for entry to schools work well. The Chief Adjudicator expressed less confidence that the needs of children who need a place outside the normal admissions rounds were so well met. In order to test this concern, local authorities are therefore asked to differentiate their answers in this year’s report between the main admissions round and in year admissions1.

  • Term 1. 2018–19
    Term 1. 2018–19 Dear Parents and Carers, The start to the academic year has been as busy as ever and so I hope all are looking forward to a well-earned half term break. The government has published provisional progress 8 GCSE scores this week, with our outcome an average one this year. That’s not quite the heights of last year where we were above average for progress, but the examination outcomes achieved by our boys were still of course well above the national average with for example, 95% of boys achieving grade 4 and above in both English and Maths. 61% of all grades achieved by our Sixth Form students this year were at A*-B and I am pleased to report that the percentage of boys going on to top Russell Group universities further increased. Our boys left us to embark on as wide and diverse a list of destinations as ever, notably this year including one young man who took up a place at a Commercial Flight School and one who has just embarked on a degree course at Harvard University. We wish them and all our leavers, well. As always, our aim is to create well-rounded individuals, supportive of their peers and ready to embark on the next stage of their journey wherever that might be and I hope this edition of the Harveian gives a useful insight into life beyond the classroom which is a fundamental part of that pursuit. Finally, I’m very pleased to report that our new Y7 cohort have settled in nicely this year and I hope that those new Y7 parents who joined us this week for tours around the school to see the Harvey in action enjoyed that experience.

  • Chaucer Technology School, Canterbury, Item 7
    From: Patrick Leeson, Corporate Director for Education, Learning and Skills To: Education and Young People Services Cabinet Committee – 22 April 2014 Subject: Decision Number: 14/00039 Proposed Closure of Chaucer Technology School Classification: Unrestricted Past Pathway of Paper: Education Cabinet Committee – 14 March 2014 – Cabinet Member verbal update Future Pathway of Paper : Cabinet Member decision Electoral Division: Canterbury Summary: It is proposed to close Chaucer Technology School for all year groups except the current Year 10 from 31 August 2014. Part of the school would remain operational until August 2015 to enable year 10 pupils to complete their GCSE courses. Recommendation(s): The Education and Young People Services Cabinet Committee is asked to consider and endorse or make recommendations to the Cabinet Member for Education and Health Reform on the decision to: (i) Issue a public notice to close Chaucer Technology School for all year groups except the current Year 10 from 31 August 2014 and to close the school permanently from 31 August 2015. And, following the issuing of the Public Notice and subject to consideration of objections: (ii) Close the School for all year groups except the current Year 10 from 31 August 2014 and to close the school permanently from 31 August 2015.

  • 2019 Transfer to Secondary School School Admission Appeals
    Please return your appeal form by 29 March 2019 2019 Transfer to Secondary School School Admission Appeals A Guide for Parents This guide is to help families who have not got a place at the secondary school they wanted. If you are disappointed and worried about where your child will go to school in September, this guide will answer some of your questions and explain what you can do next. In the first instance you should visit the school you have been offered to get a feel for it and meet with the headteacher. Once you have done this, if you are still not satisfied you may want to consider lodging an appeal for your preferred school(s). www.kent.gov.uk/schooladmissions Why didn’t my child get a place at the school I wanted? The County Council will have tried to offer a place at the school you wanted. If that hasn’t happened it’s probably because the school had more applications than places available and other children had a higher priority for the place than your child. It may also be because your child did not meet the entry requirements for the school and so could not be offered a place. What does this mean? When a school doesn’t have enough places for everyone who wants to go there, it has to have a way of deciding which children should get in. Often a school takes the children who live closest first, so if you live further away, it may have filled all its places with children who live nearer.
