It is co-funded by Executive Summary 4 the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, the Business Board of the Combined Authority, and Cambridge Ahead. 1. The Economy of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough This is of course the Commission’s report. The views expressed have been developed as independent – as our funders 1.1 Overview 8 asked us to do. 1.2 Economic Geography 10 1.3 Growth 16 The Commission is now roughly at the half way stage in the review. We have gathered a great deal of evidence. Much of 1.4 Business 23 the evidence we have is data on the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough economy. Most of what we have now is from 1.5 Human Capital 30 published sources, and we have commissioned a range of new research too. Some of that is available to us now and 1.6 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough 34 informs this report. Much of the research is still underway and will be reflected in the final report. At this stage, we have Futures not set out a wholly definitive analysis of where the economy of the area is heading and what should be done about it. This is more our view of where the economy is today and how it got there, an important starting point for the review. 2. Perspectives On The Future Of Cambridgeshire And Peterborough While the area the review has responsibility for is defined by its administrative geography, we are primarily concerned with 2.1 Introduction 37 the economics of the area, and we therefore refrain from artificially simplifying, or forcing together, the economic 2.2 The Economic Geography of 38 geography. We also acknowledge where there is evidence of significant economic linkage beyond the administrative area.

That is why we issued a call Role of Higher Education and Migration for evidence in January. We received 52 responses, which are summarised in this interim report, and for which we are very 2.6 Transport and Infrastructure 46 grateful. The Commission has also had a range of very informative discussions with the Local Authorities of the area and 2.7 Housing 50 with the Combined Authority Mayor, as well as other local stakeholders. These too are reflected in this report. 2.8 The role of the public sector 52 We use our baseline economic findings and the views of a wide range of people and organisations to set out what we see 3. Towards The Final Report as the most important policy challenges facing Cambridgeshire and Peterborough in the years ahead. The Commission 3.1 Questions for further consultation 53 believes these are the most important to tackle if the area is to meet the goal set out in its Devolution Deal with Government 3.2 Next steps 53 (to increase economic output by nearly 100% over the next 25 years, from £22bn to over £40bn). Every area will have to maximise its contribution, where the challenges, and what success will look like, are different. While it is critical to plan Appendices for the projects of the future, it is even more important to do the right things now. This will mean ensuring strong growth Appendix 1: Calculation of the CA/BRES 54 continues in high-output areas, and laying the ground for future growth in lower-output areas. combined measure of growth in Corporate Employment In our final report, we will offer our views on how this goal might best be achieved and a series of policy recommendations Appendix 2: Business overview of each 54 which support it. Here we aim to lay the foundations for the final report. Whilst we would welcome views on any aspect of district this report, the policy issues are the most important and where we would be particularly interested to receive feedback. Appendix 3: Employment location quotients 58 according to BRES data With this in mind, we are inviting comments on the interim report. You are welcome to submit any responses, views and supplementary evidence to the Commission at [email protected]. We would be very grateful if responses were sent by 8th June 2018.

The ‘Beast from the East’ didn’t manage to close us down, but it did make for some very cold days in college. I’m grateful to all students and families for their support and understanding during the poor weather. I’m sure we are all looking forward to a rest over the Easter break and, hopefully, some spring sunshine. Once again, this edition of the newsletter reflects a huge amount of effort and activity over the last Head Boy and Head few weeks. One of my highlights this half term was the Science fair; not simply because of the effort and enthusiasm on display, but also because of the very high quality of Scientific knowledge and Girl Elections curiosity that Year 7 and Year 8 students demonstrated.

  • Review of Secondary School Provision in the Fenland District
    REVIEW OF SECONDARY SCHOOL PROVISION IN THE FENLAND DISTRICT PROPOSAL FOR A NEW SECONDARY SCHOOL IN WISBECH BACKGROUND CONSULTATION DOCUMENT 1 PURPOSE The purpose of this document is to: • Draw attention to the rising number of primary aged pupils across Fenland, the impact of proposed new housing and the resultant pressure to provide additional places in secondary schools in the District. • Outline the conclusions of the Council’s review of secondary school provision in Fenland and its recommendations in respect of each of the four market towns within the District; Wisbech, Chatteris, March and Whittlesey. • Seek, in principle support for the proposal to provide a new secondary school in Wisbech in response to the forecast demand for places and expand provision in March, Chatteris and Whittlesey when required. • Obtain the views of parents and the local community on the Council’s early site search work, which identified the site of the former College of West Anglia (CWA) horticultural and equine facility adjacent to Meadowgate School, as having the potential to be developed for a secondary school (location plan included). OR • For respondents to identify and consider whether there are any alternative sites within Wisbech that may provide a better site for a secondary school and which the Council should consider 1 2. BACKGROUND Demography There are four secondary schools in Fenland: Neale-Wade Academy (March), Thomas Clarkson Academy (Wisbech), Sir Harry Smith Community College (Whittlesey) and Cromwell Community College (Chatteris). There is a distance of between 6-13 miles separating each school (measured in a straight line). A review of secondary school provision in Fenland was undertaken in response to: • demographic change (the population of the District has grown by 13.9% to 95,300 since 2001) • rising pupil numbers in the primary schools and • the proposed levels of housing development (11,000 homes across the District in the period up to 2031) included in the Fenland District Local Plan (2014).
