  • APPENDIX 5 Responses to Questions to BWC and Local Secondary
    APPENDIX 5 Responses to Questions to BWC and Local Secondary Schools and Pupils Questions to BWC The following information was provided in response to the Working Group’s questions: 1. Do the college / schools offer Diplomas yet or intend to? Diplomas were not currently being provided in Bracknell Forest. The first set of Diplomas would be delivered from September 2010. 2. Are the college / schools becoming involved in the development of Diplomas? Both the College and the schools were involved in the development of Diplomas. The 14-19 Years Partnership had played a successful part of this. In larger education authorities geographical areas were often divided into different consortiums that co-ordinated the Diploma provision in their particular area. These consortiums were all members of the overarching 14-19 Partnership where they worked jointly. The 14-19 Partnership and the 14-19 Consortium in Bracknell Forest were coterminous as it was a small authority. Although there had been some initial reluctance, this had now been overcome and all the local mainstream secondary schools and BWC were involved in the Bracknell Forest 14-19 Partnership. Some schools were more advanced in their preparations for Diploma delivery than others which needed to investment further in the provision of facilities for the Diplomas they would be offering. Although BWC had dedicated facilities for Diploma provision and more accommodation than many of the secondary schools, it would experience difficulties in catering for all of the pupils that wished to attend the College. In addition to the Church Road building in the centre of Bracknell, the College operated from the Eastern Road Centre adjacent to the A329 London Road which was approximately 20 minutes walk from Bracknell bus and train stations.

  • Annual Report Final
    Readipop Annual Report June 2009 – July 2010 About Readipop creates innovative arts projects which aim to challenge and inspire people. Readipop aims to promote the development of the arts and in particular music for the benefit of the local community by providing studio space and facilities and by organising events and activities which improve public access to the arts and promote understanding and learning about the creative and technical processes involved in the creation of music. Charity Number 1123962 The year in brief: This year has seen a couple of major successes for Readipop. Firstly our Urban Orchestra – Classical Soundclash project culminated in a high quality performance at the Hexagon, Reading as well as a series of innovative workshops with local primary schools and the creation of a performance DVD. Readipop also worked to develop a new business plan for the next 5 years and set about trying to raise the funds to put the plan into action. After an initial failure, we secured £75,000 of organisational development funds from the Arts Council of England. The project begins in late Summer 2010. 1 Projects in 2009/10: Urban Orchestra & Primary roadshows A partnership between Readipop, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Berkshire Maestros, Reading Borough Council and Youth Music. The Urban Orchestra ran from March 2009 – May 2010. The project was about making music without boundaries, working with young classical musicians, urban MCs, producers, singers and rock musicians. With young people form; Blessed Hugh Farringdon School, John Madejski Academy, Highdown School, Reading Girls School, Berkshire Maestros, Amersham Road Youth Centre and Thames Valley University From February to May 2010 Readipop delivered a series of “Urban Orchestra Primary Roadshows” these these included a short talk on the Orchestra, a DVD of the final performance, and a range of musical activities where the students experienced working in an Urban Orchestra style.
