  • 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.

  • 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.

Please find attached a list and a summary of all Educational Establishments in London and NO2 levels based on both the LAEI 2013 update and LAEI 2016. The list has been taken from the register of educational establishments in England and Wales, maintained by the Department for Education, and provides information on establishments providing compulsory, higher and further education. It was downloaded on 21/03/2019, just before the release of the LAEI 2016. The attached spreadsheet has recently been published as part of the LAEI 2016 stats on Datastore here.

Background to Item 1.1 The DfE published its Early Years National Funding Formula Guidance (EYNFF) in December 2016. The EYNFF determined the hourly rate to be paid to each setting for providing early years education. 1.2 The Lambeth Early Years Funding Formula (EYFF) has an hourly rate and two supplements: quality and deprivation. In the existing formula each child receives funding based on the Income Deprivation Affecting Child Index (IDACI) rating of the child’s home address (deprivation). 1.3 Meeting the needs of deprived children is a key part of the Government’s priority of narrowing the attainment gap between children from different socio-economic backgrounds and thus it is a mandatory requirement that there be a deprivation supplement included in the Early Years Funding Formula.

  • GW1 Green Screens Programme PDF 251 KB
    OFFICER DELEGATED DECISION REPORT Report title: School Green Screens Programme Wards: All Portfolio: Councillor Claire Holland, Deputy Leader of the Council (Sustainable Transport, Environment and Clean Air) Report Authorised by: Sara Waller / Eleanor Purser, Strategic Director for Sustainable Growth and Opportunity Contact for enquiries: Leena Khatri, Sustainability Technical Officer, [email protected], 020 7926 0525 Report summary The current administration’s 2018 manifesto committed to install green screens at Lambeth schools on a main road. This report considers progress to date and recommends the programme to deliver against this ambition by May 2022. In recent years, green screens have been built at St Anne’s Primary and Stockwell Primary School, as part of the Mayor’s Air Quality School Audit programme, and also at Wyvil Primary, St Helen’s Primary, Corpus Christi Catholic Primary, Loughborough Primary, St John the Divine Primary, Oasis Johanna Primary, and Rosendale Primary. This report sets out proposals to install green screens at additional schools in Lambeth and explains the reasons why green screens are being recommended at certain schools. Table 1 lists schools in Lambeth which have not been selected for a green screen and the reasons why. An overview plan and list of schools included in the current green screen programme is set out in Table 2 of this report. Finance summary The total maximum cost of the school green screens programme is estimated to be £350,000. This cost can be met from the capital budget for Energy, Flood Prevention and Climate Change response infrastructure agreed by Cabinet in July 2020. If required, contributions could also be sourced from the capital budget for Transport and Public Realm agreed in July 2020 or from grant funding that becomes available for these measures.
