It is situated in north central London. Haringey is considered to be an outer London borough. However, its proximity and public transport access to Central London and its socio-economic make-up mean that it shares many characteristics with inner London boroughs. Haringey is strategically located in the London-Stansted- Cambridge-Peterborough Growth Area, and is therefore a focus for new housing growth by central government and the Greater London Authority. With strong links to the City, West End, the Upper Lee Valley and Stansted Airport the borough is very well placed as a business location and as a base for out-commuting. 1.2 Haringey is currently preparing its Local Development Framework Core Strategy – A New Plan for Haringey. This will guide growth in the Borough for the London Plan period to 2016 and beyond to 2026. Haringey has a target of 6,800 new homes for the period between 2006 and 2016/17.

  • Creating a New Model of 16-19 Education for Students with SEND
    Creating a new model of 16-19 education for students with SEND Contact: Graham Duncan June 2018 0776 458 6173 [email protected] Web my AFK – New model of 16-19 education for students with SEND v1.0 1 1 Introduction This document has been prepared by my AFK as the basis for discussions with local authorities and other stakeholders in the education of disabled students. my AFK1 is a charity with a successful track record of preparing disabled young people for work. We work with 14-19 year olds to raise their aspirations and improve their work skills. Our employment brokers/job coaches have an excellent record of placing 19-25 year old students into paid employment. We take students from schools and colleges across North London. Based on our experience, we believe that a new paradigm of post-16 education for disabled young people is urgently needed in order to close the “disability employment gap” and to enable them to thrive in later life. my AFK has developed a radical new model of a special school (called here “New School”) for students aged 16-19, focused on preparing students, primarily those with learning disabilities, autism and/or communication/interaction difficulties, for work and for living as independently as possible. Why is it needed? According to the Department for Education’s (‘DfE’) Employer Perspectives Survey 20162: “Work experience is an important facilitator for young people entering, and succeeding, in the workplace.” The DfE’s guidance on 16-19 study programmes3 says: “The overwhelming majority of young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are capable of sustained employment with the right preparation and support.

  • Shaping the Future of Secondary Education in Haringey Consultation on Adjustment to Haringey’S Secondary Community Schools Published Admission Number (PAN)
    Shaping the future of secondary education in Haringey Consultation on adjustment to Haringey’s secondary community schools published admission number (PAN) The consultation period will run from 7 November 2016 to 16 December 2016 This document: Has a series of responses to FAQs (Frequented asked questions) Demonstrates why we expect to need to change our PANs (published admission numbers) Shows the consultation timetable Explains how you can let us have your views and comments on this consultation from this page on the Haringey website: www.haringey.gov.uk/secondaryconsultation2016 1 FAQs (Frequently asked questions) – Consultation on adjustment to Haringey’s secondary community schools planned admission number (PAN) What are we consulting on? The Council is consulting on a possible adjustment to the borough’s community secondary school PANs (published admission number1) to numbers wholly divisible by 30. This would bring the authority into line with the majority of schools across the country where PANs are all set at multiples of 30. Haringey’s community schools are: Gladesmore Community School Highgate Wood School Hornsey School for Girls Northumberland Park Community School Park View School We also have other types of secondary school in our borough: Academy – Alexandra Park School, Greig City Academy, Heartlands High School, St Thomas More Catholic School, Woodside High School Foundation – Fortismere School Free School – Harris Academy Tottenham The governing bodies of academy, foundation and free schools are responsible for setting their own PANs. At present the majority of secondary schools in Haringey have PANs that are wholly divisible by 27. The exceptions to this are Harris Academy Tottenham and Woodside High that have PANs divisible by 30 and Alexandra Park School that has a PAN divisible by 29.
