Humber Careers Hub performance 3.1.1. The Careers and Enterprise Company (CEC) is a national employer-led organisation that has been set up to inspire and prepare Young People for the fast-changing world of work. The role of the CEC is to take an umbrella view of the landscape of careers and enterprise provision, enabling improvement programmes, filling gaps in delivery and ensuring coverage across the country. 3.1.2. The CEC received funding from the Department of Education to establish an initial 20 pilot Careers Hubs across England by September 2018 – the Humber Careers Hub was one of this first Wave of Careers Hubs. Careers Hubs were set up to help transform careers education for young people around the country. A further 18 were established in September 2019 and a third Wave of Hubs will be announced to start in September 2020. 3.1.3. A Careers Hub is a group of secondary schools and colleges located in the same geographic area, working with universities, other education and training providers, employers and careers professionals to support them, and each other to meet the Gatsby Benchmarks. The Gatsby Benchmarks1 are designed to improve careers guidance for young people and form part of the government’s Careers Strategy launched in December 20172. 3.1.4. Wave 1 Careers Hubs were required to have between 20 and 40 schools/colleges within them, and are allocated extra resource and funding to enable them to strive towards meeting all eight Gatsby Benchmarks by the end of 2020. The Humber Careers Hub has maintained all 26 schools and colleges who were accepted (detailed in Annex 1). 3.1.5. The schools within the Hub are diverse; including two special needs schools, one alternative education provider, a university technical college, a sixth form college and a general further education college. The schools and colleges who joined the Hub were at different stages in relation to their careers guidance and delivery and this remains true. 3.1.6. The CEC has developed an online resource – the Compass self-evaluation tool. The Compass tool helps schools and colleges evaluate careers activity against the Gatsby Benchmarks. 3.1.7. The data dashboard shows progress in the Humber Careers Hub using submissions form the Compass tool (Annex 2). Paper E 3.1.8. Key points of interest are: 3.1.8.1. Humber Careers Hub has made progress against 7 of the 8 Gatsby Benchmarks, most notably Benchmarks 1, 2, 7 and 5. 3.1.8.2. Targets for both Benchmark 5 and 6 have been exceeded by Humber Careers Hub. 3.1.8.3. Humber Careers Hub has outperformed the Wave 1 Careers Hub average in 6 of the 8 Benchmarks. 3.1.8.4. Benchmark 3 still provides a real challenge to schools where they do not have the data consent or resources to track pupil destinations for 3 years. CEC are in continuing conversations with DfE and The Gatsby Foundation to understand if there can be a national approach to supporting schools with this. 3.1.8.5. Most significant progress can be seen in Benchmark 1 with an increase of 54 percentage points in those achieving Benchmark 1 in comparison to baseline. 3.1.8.6. The overall average Benchmark score for the Careers Hub is 5.3 Benchmarks. The average for Wave 1 hubs is 4.8 and the national average is 3.5. 3.1.8.7. In the last 2 years 24 Careers Leaders in the Humber have benefitted from free Careers Leader training offered by the CEC 3.1.8.8. The Humber Careers Hub now has 5 cornerstone employers who act as beacons to other employers around business education engagement and work within a national framework. 3.2. Humber Enterprise Adviser Network progress 3.2.1. The CEC publishes data for the wider Enterprise Adviser Network 3 times a year. The most recent data is from Compass evaluations at the end of March. The key points of the performance data are: 3.2.1.1. There are 85 institutions in the Humber region who are eligible to join the EAN. At present, there are 65 institutions signed up. This comprises of 7 colleges, 49 mainstream schools, 3 alternative provision providers and 6 SEND schools. Paper E 3.2.1.2. In the Humber region (all schools in the Enterprise Adviser Network) schools are achieving an average of 4.3 Benchmarks against a national average of 3.7 Benchmarks. 3.2.1.3. There are currently 49 Enterprise Advisers in the Humber which needs to be increased to 65 in the next year 3.2.1.4. The satisfaction survey for EAs which CEC conducted reported that 93% of EAs are satisfied with the support they receive from their ECs against a target of 70%. 3.3. Careers and Enterprise Company Grant Offer (August 2020 – July 2021) 3.3.1. Enterprise Coordinators, at present there is a vacant post (south bank) which is being recruited for to ensure we have the capacity to service up to 65 schools in the region. We will have 3 co funded Enterprise Coordinators and 1 fully funded Hub Lead. 3.3.2. Compass+, launched in early September 2019, and allows schools to Benchmark, manage, track and report on their careers programme at both a school-wide and individual-pupil level. Compass+ integrates with school management information systems. Targets will exist around moving schools to Compass+ before 31 December 2020, they are: 3.3.2.1. 95% of eligible schools in the Careers Hub to be using Compass+ 3.3.2.2. 60% of EAN eligible schools to be using Compass+ 3.3.3. Benchmark 1, is around a stable and strategic careers plan. A large emphasis in the next year is to ensure schools are making progress to achieving this Benchmark. This will help careers education and guidance become embedded in a school; increasing sustainability. 3.3.4. Enterprise Adviser match, there is an expectation in the next year that all 65 schools in the EAN will be matched to an Enterprise Adviser. This could be challenging with businesses making adaptations in light of the impact of COVID 19. Paper E 3.3.5. Funding 3.3.5.1. Total Sustainability Fund Available: £34,942 (whole EAN) 3.3.5.2. Total Central Hub Fund Available: £26,000 (only Hub schools) 3.3.5.3. Total Staff Funding Available: £147,500 (50% match fund for ECs, 100% funding for the Hub Lead) 3.3.5.4. Overall Maximum Funding Available for 2020-21: £208,442 3.3.5.5. Coverage up to at least: 65 schools and colleges 3.4. Humber Outreach Partnership collaboration 3.4.1. The Humber Outreach Partnership (HOP) is the Humber partnership of the Uni Connect project. Uni Connect is a project funded by the Office for Students to help increase the number of young people (who live in areas of low Higher Education participation) to progress to HE. 3.4.2. In the guidance for both the Careers and Enterprise Company and Uni Connect, there is an expectation that partners will work cohesively to maximise impact and funding for schools and young people. Historically we have not had a close working relationship with HOP. 3.4.3. The new project manager Naomi Prendergast is very keen to establish closer working relationships and there are now clear links to the governance of both projects. 3.4.4. HOP have agreed to match fund (50%) the Careers Hub Enterprise Coordinator for the forthcoming year – August 2020 – July 2021. 3.5. Impact of Covid 19 on careers education in schools 3.5.1. Schools have continued to engage on differing levels. Some schools during the closure have engaged more than they have previously as the Careers Leader has had more time available to them. Other schools have engaged less and focussed mainly on curriculum and pastoral demands, Paper E 3.5.2. The summer term is when most schools arrange work experience and employer encounters. All planned in and out of school activity has been cancelled and this will lead to a dramatic decrease in Benchmark scores most notably for Benchmarks 5, 6 & 7. 3.5.3. There have been a number of Enterprise Advisers who have been either furloughed or redeployed meaning their engagement with schools has either stopped or been dramatically reduced.

Rivers of the World inspires young people to see the potential for art in their lives. It champions their creativity and develops young audiences for galleries. The project gives teachers skills to deliver arts-based learning; develops awareness about rivers; and provides the framework for international partnerships to flourish with both artists and schools. Now in its 14th year, Rivers of the World has been delivered in over 30 countries around the world. Each year we work with one new London borough and two new UK cities on a 2-year cycle. We link each school with a school in a partner city overseas. Magnificent artworks are created through the project by pupils under the guidance of professional artists and exhibited in London and across the participating cities. The pupils’ artworks are inspired by their local waterfront.

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.

  • Withernsea High School Proposal for Change of Defined Age Range
    INFORMATION FOR PROPOSALS FOR PRESCRIBED ALTERATIONS Withernsea High School Proposal for change of defined age range Introduction Every school has a defined age range for the pupils it can have on its’ roll. Withernsea High School is a local authority maintained school currently and has a defined age range of 11-18 years. This proposal seeks to consult on the change of this defined age range to 11-16 years, with effect from 1st September 2021. In making such a change, the local authority is required to follow the government’s statutory process for prescribed alterations, including the issue of a public notice. School and Local Authority details The proposal is published by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Cross Street, County Hall, Beverley, HU17 9BA. The school to which the proposal relates is a community school, Withernsea High School, Hull Road, Withernsea, HU19 2EG. Description of the proposed change This proposal seeks to enable Withernsea High School to withdraw Post-16 provision by reducing the age range from 11-18 years to 11-16 years. This is because pupils completing Year 11 studies at Withernsea High School are already choosing to attend other providers and the school cannot compete with those other providers. A significant majority of pupils have chosen to study their Post-16 courses in other institutions both in the East Riding and in Hull over the last five years. This has led to the school only being able to offer a narrow and limited curriculum. There is a very low level of interest from 11-16-year-old pupils at Withernsea High School to remain at the school after they are 16 and progress into the schools’ sixth form.
