    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.

    Prospectus 2020 …best lesson,AMBITION best day,DETERMINATION best year,RESPECT best future… Welcome to Walthamstow Academy Walthamstow Academy is a dynamic, thriving and successful academy at the centre of the local community. I believe that at the heart of our success are three key factors. The first is the dedication of our staff, who are all wholly determined to do whatever it takes to get the best possible outcomes for every single one of our students. This involves nurturing every child and tracking their progress to make sure that they are on track and that we are bringing out the best in them. Second, we are committed to raising ambition through very high expectations and a belief that every child can achieve great things if they have the opportunity, the drive and the support that they need. As a Ms Emma Skae result, our students have these expectations of themselves. They want to learn, they want to be successful Principal and they want to be proud. Our attendance is outstanding: students want to be here, they describe being BSc BEd MA NPQH part of Walthamstow Academy as like being part of a family. Third, at Walthamstow Academy we believe that there is no time to waste. We make the most of every day. For every minute of every lesson, we make sure that our students are happy, engaged and learning. They know they need to make the most of every opportunity they are offered and we want to be there to make sure they succeed. I want all our students to have hopes and dreams for the future that mean they are challenging themselves to be the best they can be.

    Rye Studio School Author: Department for Education (Dfe)

    Title: Rye Studio School Author: Department for Education (DfE) Approved in July 2012, opened in September 2013 Impact Assessment – Section 9 Academies Act Duty 1. Section 9 of the Academies Act 2010 (later as amended by the Education Act 2011) places a duty on the Secretary of State to take into account what the impact of establishing the institution would likely be on maintained schools, Academies, institutions within the further education sector and alternative provision in the area in which the institution is (or is proposed to be) situated. Any adverse impact will need to be balanced against the benefits of establishing the new school. 2. We have carried out an Impact Assessment (see Annex B1) which concludes that the impact on most local schools should be minimal to moderate. One school, Hastings Academy, has been assessed as high impact as the academy was undersubscribed for entry in 2011/2012 and has existing surplus places of 22%. However, there are mitigating factors that would reduce this to moderate. Hastings Academy is an 11 – 18 technology college, specialising in English and Information and Communication Technology. It opened as a sponsored academy on 1 September 2011 (the main sponsor is the University of Brighton with East Sussex County Council and BT as co- sponsors). As it has recently become a sponsored academy, education standards will improve and thus make the school more attractive. This is demonstrated through the most recent Ofsted report (June 2013) which rated the academy as good. In addition, Rye Studio School’s specialism (Creative Arts and Media) is sufficiently different to Hastings Academy to make it less likely to attract their students.

Aspire . Achieve . Suc- Welcome Parents, Carers and Community Friends, I am delighted for you to experience just a little bit of life here at Ark William Parker through the January edition of our Newsletter. It has certainly been a busy term, filled with a wealth of opportunities and experiences for our students. Just some of the things that you will read about include: sporting activities, theatre trips, awards ceremonies, commemoration services, community work, charity work and visits to art galleries. We have also welcomed members of the local community into the academy, including some year 6 students, our academy governors, local councillors and local business people who have worked with our students. Through all of the activity and excitement this past term, we have remained focussed on achievement with our boys and insisting that they work as hard as they possibly can. Our Year 11 students were a credit to themselves during their mock examinations and they are preparing well for their GCSE’s in June. Thank you for your courtesy with our safeguarding arrangements for the single-entry point to the academy. These have worked well and continue into the new year. To support the neighbours, please continue to drop your son off slightly further down the road and let him stretch his legs and walk up from where the shops are.
