  • A Guide to the Government for BIA Members
    A guide to the Government for BIA members Correct as of 26 June 2020 This is a briefing for BIA members on the Government led by Boris Johnson and key ministerial appointments for our sector after the December 2019 General Election and February 2020 Cabinet reshuffle. Following the Conservative Party’s compelling victory, the Government now holds a majority of 80 seats in the House of Commons. The life sciences sector is high on the Government’s agenda and Boris Johnson has pledged to make the UK “the leading global hub for life sciences after Brexit”. With its strong majority, the Government has the power to enact the policies supportive of the sector in the Conservatives 2019 Manifesto. All in all, this indicates a positive outlook for life sciences during this Government’s tenure.

  • Lead Non-Executive Director – Department for Education
    Lead Non-Executive Director – Department for Education Introduction The Department for Education’s (DfE) aim is to ensure world-class education and care that allows every child and young person to reach his or her potential, regardless of background. Over the next four years, the Department is leading an ambitious and wide-ranging programme of reform across early years, schools, 16-19, and children’s social care, building on and extending the changes of the last Parliament. We are expanding the academies and free school programme to empower professionals on the frontline, reforming the curriculum and qualifications so that they represent an international gold standard, and ensuring that young people leave school with the knowledge, skills and resilience to succeed in modern Britain. At the same time we are reforming adoption, fostering and children’s services so that they work quickly and effectively to transform the life chances of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged young people. These changes set a challenge for the organisation itself. We delivered significant organisational change in 2010-15 and halved administrative expenditure in real terms over this period. With substantial resources allocated to our priorities in the 2015 spending review, our focus for 2015-20 is on ensuring the Department has the capability and capacity it needs to implement the Government’s strategic priorities. Setting the right conditions for success in education and children’s services means becoming increasingly effective in how we deliver reform: transforming the way we go about our work in order to help leaders in the education and social care systems do likewise.

At Key Stage 2, 81 per cent achieved the expected level in teacher assessments in 2012. • Effective teaching: approaches that have been found effective in the teaching of writing include teaching pupils the writing process; teaching them to write for a variety of purposes; setting specific goals to pupils and fostering inquiry skills; teaching pupils to become fluent with handwriting, spelling and sentence construction, typing and word processing; providing daily time to write; creating an engaged community of writers. • Struggling writers and pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities can be taught by explicit, interactive and scaffolded approaches and cognitive instruction strategies such as Self-Regulated Strategy Development, in addition to approaches used in whole-class teaching.

  • JN537 DFE Ofqual Chief Regulator Candidate Pack PRF5
    Chief Regulator, Ofqual Information pack WELCOME The Ofqual Chief Regulator is one of the central leadership roles in English education. Qualifications open doors and shape lives; and they are also important because they have a strong influence on what is taught in schools and colleges. As the independent regulator of general and vocational and technical qualifications, Ofqual is responsible for promoting and maintaining public confidence in qualifications. With the current interim Chief Regulator due to stand down from September 2021, we are looking for an exceptional individual to take on this exciting and high profile national role. This will be a period of significant change for the qualifications system and for Ofqual as an organisation, and the new Chief Regulator will play a key role in shaping the system for years to come. The cancellation of summer exams due to the Covid-19 pandemic in both 2020 and 2021 has created unprecedented challenges both operationally and in terms of public confidence, which will place a premium in the coming years on innovative thinking, efficient delivery and effective public engagement and communications. At the same time, Ofqual is working with the Department on an important and extensive programme of reforms to vocational and technical qualifications, to ensure that every publicly funded qualification is high quality and will support young people and adults to progress to further study or skilled employment. We are seeking to appoint an outstanding individual, ideally with experience at a senior level in either the education or regulatory sectors. You will need substantial leadership experience, a range of managerial skills including the management of organisational change and of complex programmes, and a high degree of personal integrity and resilience.

  • Academies, Autonomy, Equality and Democratic Accountability: Reforming the Fragmented Publicly Funded School System in England’
    West, A. and Wolfe, D. (2019) ‘Academies, autonomy, equality and democratic accountability: Reforming the fragmented publicly funded school system in England’. London Review of Education, 17 (1): 70–86. DOI https://doi.org/10.18546/LRE.17.1.06 Academies, autonomy, equality and democratic accountability: Reforming the fragmented publicly funded school system in England Anne West* − London School of Economics and Political Science, UK David Wolfe − Matrix Chambers, UK Abstract This article focuses on the transformative academies policy in England. Based on an analysis of documentary evidence, we argue that the policy has resulted in the fragmentation of the state-funded school system and stark variation between academies, with those within multi-academy trusts (MATs) having no legal identity. We examine the variation between funding agreements, the control by central government, the role of MATs and the governance of academies. We propose policy options to improve the current incoherent and fragmented set of provisions, including restoring the legal identity of schools in MATs and allowing academies if they so wish, to convert to maintained schools. Keywords: academies; multi-academy trusts (MATs); funding agreements; law; governance; finance Introduction Since 2000 there has been a rapid and radical transformation of publicly funded school- based education in England: over a third of schools – and nearly three-quarters of secondary schools – are now ‘academies’ rather than ‘maintained’ by local authorities. Academies are owned and run by not-for-profit private trusts (exempt charities) that register as companies with Companies House and are subject to company law. They are controlled and funded directly by central government by means of a contract – a funding agreement – between a trust (that is, a legal entity) and the Secretary of State for Education (DfE, 2018a), rather than being run by a governing body in accordance with statutory education law, as is essentially the case for maintained schools.

    LEGISLATIVE CONSENT MEMORANDUM EDUCATION BILL Supplementary Legislative Consent Motion “To propose that the National Assembly for Wales, in accordance with Standing Order 29.6, agrees that, in addition to the provisions referred to in motion NNDM4660, those further provisions which have been brought forward in the Education Bill relating to charges for boarding and lodging at boarding Academies, in so far as they fall within the legislative competence of the National Assembly for Wales, should be considered by the UK Parliament.” Background 1. The above Motion was tabled by Leighton Andrews, Welsh Minister for Children, Education and Lifelong Learning under Standing Order 29.6 of the Standing Orders (“SO”) of the National Assembly for Wales (“NAW”). This memorandum is laid under SO29.2.

The Education Bill (“the Bill”) was introduced on the 26th January 2011 and can be found at: http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2010-11/education.html Summary of the Bill and its Policy Objectives 3. The Bill contains provisions on a range of policy areas and many of its provisions do not apply in Wales. The main purpose of the Bill is to create an education system that delivers for all children. Starting with basic literacy ability and continuing through to the attainment of qualifications enabling students to continue their education or stand them in good stead for work.
