We have a busy summer term ahead, if you want to enter any primary competitions, please do so via the Chester SSP website (www.chesterssp.co.uk) - please note that some events are already full. Playground Leaders Course Over the February half term, 27 children from years 5&6 gave up a day of their holidays to attend the Playground Leaders Training Course at Blacon High School. Here they learned about how to deliver playground games and activities to their peers and younger children in their school. The training was a mixture of practical and theory work, looking at the STEP principle and how to be a good leader. The children have now gone back to their schools confident and prepared to begin to help deliver playground games and activities.

This project is part of a wider pan Cheshire audit of youth arts including; a separate document also for East Cheshire, a sub-regional and county wide audit in Cheshire as well as a report analysis recommendations for youth arts for the future. This also precedes the new structure of Cheshire’s two county unitary authorities following LGR into East and West Cheshire and Chester, which will come into being in April 2009 An audit of this kind will never be fully accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date. Some data will be out-of-date or incorrect as soon as it’s printed or written, and we apologise for any errors or omissions. The youth arts audit aims to produce a snapshot of the activity that takes place in West Cheshire provided by the many arts, culture and youth organisations based in the county in the spring and summer of 2008– we hope it is a fair and balanced picture, giving a reasonable impression of the scale and scope of youth arts activities, organisations and opportunities – but it is not entirely exhaustive and does not claim to be.

Standing proud and tall above the town of the same name its long and rich climbing history lends it an evocative and enthralling atmosphere that is matched by a varied, ever-fascinating array of climbs. The crag is com- posed of fine-grained, un-quarried sandstone that provides just about every style of climbing. Locals delight in its easy accessibility, returning time and again to re-climb favour- ite routes and share good times with friends. Visitors will find a crag quite unlike any other where they can measure themselves against the pioneers of the past on a series of venerable testpieces, from Overhanging Crack to The Beatnik and beyond. Though semi-urban the environment is appeal- ing, almost bucolic; delightful, quiet woods lie below and ravens and peregrines wheel through the skies above.

    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.
