  • Burnley College Access and Participation Plan
    Burnley College Access and participation plan 2020-21 to 2024-25 Burnley College is a long-established Further Education College in the heart of East Lancashire. It is committed to strategies for widening access to Higher Education as well as ensuring student success which in turn improves the progression opportunities for all of our students. The College’s stated purpose is to ‘build futures and change lives’ (Burnley College Strategic Plan 2017-20) and this is supported by seven strategic objectives, including to ‘significantly expand the range of local opportunities for University-level study whilst maintaining high standards’ and ‘to maintain outstanding equality of opportunity’. The College provides access to level four education and above in an area of significant deprivation with historically low levels of participation in Higher Education. Burnley College serves a community that experiences significant levels of deprivation with Burnley itself being amongst one of the most deprived areas in the country. The most recent Government index of Deprivation (September 2015) places Burnley as the ninth most deprived area out of 354 local authorities in England and the comparative position has deteriorated since the previous index in 2010. The domains of deprivation cover income, employment, education, crime, health, barriers to housing services and living environment with the 2015 Index of Deprivation evidencing that Burnley has “proportionality more neighbourhoods ranked as highly deprived on six or all seven domains”. Pennine Lancashire is an area of low educational attainment and overall standards of achievement in Burnley remain below the Lancashire and national averages, and the gap with Lancashire increased in 2018, in every measure and for nearly every age group.

  • Annual Report 2016 SUPER SLOW WAY ANNUAL REPORT 2016
    Annual Report 2016 SUPER SLOW WAY_ ANNUAL REPORT 2016 2016 has been an extraordinary year for Super Slow Way. WE HAVE SUPPORTED AND DEVELOPED 30 PROJECTS WITH OVER 200 ARTISTS 20 ARTS ORGANISATIONS AND OVER 40,000 ATTENDANCES Bringing great art to the banks of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal Connecting people with artists, each other and their waterway SUPER SLOW WAY: SPARKING A CREATIVE REVOLUTION IN PENNINE LANCASHIRE. Cover image: Shapes of Water, Sounds of Hope. Photo by Graham Kay This image: Kinara. Photo by Matthew Savage superslowway.org.uk 3 INTRODUCTION IN 2016 SUPER SLOW WAY WENT FROM BEING AN IDEA, LOADED WITH POSSIBILITY AND PROMISE, TO AN EXPLOSION OF ACTIVITY. WE SUPPORTED AND DEVELOPED 30 PROJECTS, IN WHICH WE CONNECTED OVER 200 ARTISTS WITH COMMUNITIES IN THE FORM OF COMMISSIONS AND ARTIST RESIDENCIES, MASS PARTICIPATION PROJECTS AND THREE MAJOR FESTIVALS. IT WAS A VERY BUSY YEAR INDEED. Throughout the year we celebrated the Bicentenary of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal – the UK’s longest waterway and the artery that powered the heart of the Industrial Revolution: the mill towns of Pennine Lancashire. Our bold programme has nurtured the beginnings of a creative revolution along its banks, as the post-industrial landscape is transformed and repurposed for social and civic activity. We have watched people come together through art and seen communities begin to think about their self- representation and self-determination, whether through mass participation projects such as Shapes of Water, Sounds of Hope in Brierfield and the thunderous triumph ofSuper Slow Way: A Rhapsody to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal; or in smaller, gentler, but equally profound, projects such as Stephen Turner’s Exbury Egg in Burnley, idle women’s floating arts centre, andBeyond Labels with the young men of Hollins Technology College, among many others.
