Information for Candidates Deputy Heads of Centre: Burwell House Information for candidates Deputy Heads of Centre: Burwell House and Stibbington 1 An introduction to Cambridgeshire Outdoors Cambridgeshire Outdoors has been inspiring young people in Cambridgeshire since 2003, providing a variety of outdoor learning products and services at our three sites: Burwell House Centre, Grafham Water Centre and Stibbington Centre. As a local authority, we passionately believe in the importance of learning outside the classroom. We want to equip future generations of young people with the skills, confidence and self-belief outdoor learning can provide. Since 2019, Cambridgeshire Outdoors has received over £1 million of investment from the local authority to transform property, business systems and learning materials. This investment has been guided by the Cambridgeshire Outdoors Programme, a politically-led initiative which aims to make our centres the premier provider of outdoor learning in the East of England. We are recruiting Deputy Heads of Centre at our two smaller centres – Burwell House and Stibbington. Two Deputy Heads will share responsibility with the Head of Centre for the leadership of the centres, with a particular focus on curriculum development and the delivery of education. Successful candidates will be people with a passion for outdoor education, who can lead our centres to grow and recover following the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The key aims of the Cambridgeshire Outdoors Programme are: 1. Strategy and learning: Burwell House, Grafham Water Centre, and Stibbington Centre will be an integral part of the work we do to improve education and outcomes in Cambridgeshire. 2. Income and commercialisation: We will have a strong, positive brand and a business-like approach to marketing our products, communicating with customers, and generating income. 3. Data and social value: We will measure the value of our work for local communities, and use this data to inform our approach to the present and guide decisions about our future. 4. Property and transformation: We will repair and maintain buildings, and invest time and resources in the staff who make all of this work possible. “Burwell House Centre and Stibbington Centre are two of our greatest treasures as a local council, playing a key role in our civic mission. We want to use this precious resource to play an active role in shaping society for years to come. “Please do not hesitate to contact me personally if you would like to know more about the centres or this position. I would be happy to arrange for you to visit the sites.” —Rosemarie Sadler, Head of Service: School Improvement 2 Our centres Burwell House Centre is located in the village of Burwell in East Cambridgeshire district, at the edge of the fens and ten miles from the city of Cambridge. The House is an eighteenth century property, set in three acres of gardens, which has been operating as a residential education centre since 1965. Today, the centre can accommodate up to sixty young people on a residential basis, with a commercial kitchen and a range of indoor and outdoor spaces. The centre has strong relationships with customers all over the country, including many schools in the East of England. Stibbington Centre is at the edge of the village of Stibbington in north Cambridgeshire, close to the historic town of Stamford and nine miles from Peterborough. The site incorporates a Victorian school building and a newer residential building, surrounded by gardens and other outdoor spaces. The centre has been providing outdoor education to young people since the 1980s, and has a residential capacity of thirty-four. Stibbington also has a well-developed non- residential educational offer, with a focus on environmental education and historical re-enactment. 3 Our team Contact Rosemarie Sadler, Head of Service: School Improvement [email protected] 07917 398156 4 .

    A summary of access to natural greenspace in the Nene Valley Nature Improvement Area February 2013 Accessible natural greenspace in the NIA The Nene Valley NIA is home to approximately 208,780 people spread over nine local authorities (Table 1)1 Table 1 Population residing within the Nene Valley Nature Improvement Area, by local authority area Local authority NIA population (approx.) Corby 13,389 Daventry 7925 East Northamptonshire 22,427 Huntingdonshire 450 Kettering 40,751 Northampton 64,314 Peterborough 25,372 South Northamptonshire 8878 Wellingborough 25,277 Total 208,783 Paragraph 73 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) states that planning policies ‘should be based on robust and up-to-date assessments of the needs for open space...[which] should be used to determine what open space...provision is required.’ (DCLG 2012). Natural England has provided guidance on accessibility standards for natural areas. The Accessible Natural Greenspace Standard (ANGSt) recommends that everyone should have an accessible natural area: Of at least 2ha in size, no more than 300m from home At least one accessible 20ha site within 2km of home One accessible 100ha site within 5km of home, and One accessible 500ha site within 10km of home (Natural England 2010). In this context, accessible is defined as ...places that are available for the general public to use free of charge and without time restrictions (although some sites may be closed to the public overnight and there may be fees for parking a vehicle)... ANGSt is not the only national greenspace standard: the Woodland Trust’s Woodland Access Standard comprises similar thresholds for public access to woodlands (Woodland Trust 2004).
