Page 1 3. Young People's Citizenship and Participation Strategy Submitted report by the Corporate Director (Education and Skills) on a draft strategy for promoting citizenship and participation of young people in North Ayrshire. In November 2009, North Ayrshire Education Executive approved a report which provided an update on progress in relation to promoting citizenship and active participation of young people. The Education Executive agreed to the establishment of a strategy group with links to Integrated Children's Services and the Youth Council. North Ayrshire Council is committed to providing young people with a variety of opportunities to take responsibility and be involved in decision making in their school and community. Participation as active responsible citizens is encouraged through young people becoming representatives of their class, year group, pupil councils or school and as Young Scot representatives in secondary schools. Youth groups hold youth forums and young people are encouraged to be active within these forums. North Ayrshire has an established Youth Council from which there is representation on the Scottish Youth Parliament and the British Youth Council. Following an extensive consultation exercise conducted by Community Services, young people in North Ayrshire have clearly indicated they want the opportunity to be represented and to be able to participate as active citizens. Through actively participating and becoming equally represented young people can be involved in improving their lives and in decisions that affect them. To that end, a Youth Citizenship and Participation Strategy 2010-2012 - "Giving Young People in North Ayrshire a Voice", has been developed and a draft young persons booklet has been prepared to raise awareness of the Strategy across a wide representation of children and young people. The undernoted areas have been identified in order to implement the Strategy:- Guidance to encourage community groups should be provided to ensure that young people are actively involved in decision making. Young people should have the opportunity to be included and involved in improving their lives and making decisions that affect them. Community Services should continue to ensure that all young people are represented within the local Youth Council, the Scottish Youth Parliament and the British Youth Council. North Ayrshire Council should continue to remove barriers to the active participation of young people due to family or personal circumstances. Pupil Councils in primary and secondary schools should be evaluated to ensure their active participation in the life of the school. Further mechanisms for engagement with young people should also be developed. Plans should be developed to widen representation of children and young people to ensure that their views are taken into account by the Youth Council structures. Page 2 Youth Council members Rosie Carroll and Fraser Murray from Garnock Academy and Paul Gillespie from Largs Academy made a presentation to the Education Executive on the Young People's Citizenship and Participation Strategy, and responded to questions from Members on the following:- Potential for participation in local Community Councils; Meeting with Elderly Forums; Membership of the Youth Council including young parents and young tenants; and Input into the Council's Local Development Plan. During the course of discussion, the issue of a wider strategy of engagement, to include an invitation to the Leader of the Council and the Chief Executive to attend future meetings of the Youth Council, and engaging young people with elderly groups, was raised by Members. The Education Executive agreed (a) to approve the draft Strategy developed by the North Ayrshire Youth Council; (b) to endorse the actions which young people have identified in order to implement the strategy; and (c) that the Leader of the Council and the Chief Executive consider the possibility of attending future meetings of the Executive Committee of North Ayrshire Youth Council if invited to do so. 4. Argyll College Fundable Body Status Request Submitted report by the Corporate Director (Education and Skills) seeking support for Argyll College's bid to the Scottish Funding Council for fundable body status. Argyll College University of Highlands and Islands provides further and higher education to residents on Arran from its base in the Arran High School Campus. Argyll College is submitting a request to the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) in September 2010 seeking the award of fundable body status in its own right. The award of funding status would mean that the college would not have to bear the cost of management charges currently payable to North Highland College which over the last seven years has totalled £1.15m. The Council has been approached to support this request. The Education Executive sought, and received assurance that there was no financial risk attached to the Council as a result of supporting the request. The Education Executive (a) agreed to support, in principle, Argyll College's request to be given fundable body status by the Scottish Funding Council; and (b) authorised the Corporate Director (Education and Skills) to write directly to the Scottish Funding Council expressing the Council's support. Page 3 5. Standards and Quality Report Submitted report by the Corporate Director (Education and Skills) on the Standards and Quality Report covering the period June 2009 to June 2010. Under the terms of the Standards in Scotland's Schools etc Act 2000, local authorities have a statutory requirement to prepare and publish a statement of education improvement objectives and a progress report on their success in meeting the objectives set in their previous statement. The Standards and Quality Report is a key operational document for all sections of Education and Skills, and fulfils the Council's statutory obligations under the Standards in Scotland's Schools etc Act. A copy of the draft Standards and Quality Report covering the period June 2009 to June 2010 was attached to the report. The report is aligned to the National Outcomes and North Ayrshire Local Outcomes from the North Ayrshire Council Single Outcome Agreement. Achievements by Education and Skills since the publication of the Standards and Quality Report in June 2009 were listed under the appropriate SOA priority. Plans for the next 18 months have been identified. The Education Executive agreed to approve the report for publication and general use within Education and Skills. 6. Irvine: Stanecastle School Submitted report by the Corporate Director (Education and Skills) on the current situation with regard to the fabric of Stanecastle School, Irvine. The refurbishment of the swimming pool and related areas in Stanecastle School revealed structural problems. In response, the Council implemented measures to ensure the safe occupancy of the school whilst further investigations were undertaken. Infrastructure and Design Services provided Education and Skills with a full condition survey of the property, incorporating the necessary information relating to the condition of the school and the associated costs to upgrade it. There are 12 group elements that make up a property condition survey. Each element has been inspected and costed. The cost of refurbishment is estimated at £1.547m for which there is currently no budgetary provisions. Given the costs implied in bringing Stanecastle School up to an appropriate standard, and the need to make the most effective and efficient use of increasingly tightening resources, it was proposed that a range of options be investigated with the school community in order to plan for meeting the additional support needs of the children and young people currently attending the school. These options will be fully analysed and costed and reported to the Education Executive by January 2011. Page 4 The Education Executive

  • North Ayrshire Labour Party Manifesto 2017
    North Ayrshire Labour Party Manifesto 2017 A Vision For A Better North Ayrshire A Vision For A Better North Ayrshire North Ayrshire Labour Standing up for you It has been a huge honour to be leader of North Ayrshire Council over recent months. The change of administration happened at the blink of an eye but we have been completely focused on delivering for the people of North Ayrshire from day one. When we took over control of North Ayrshire Council on 30th August 2016, following the resignation of the previous SNP administration, we set an overarching aim of reducing inequality. I am proud of what we have achieved in such a short period of time to achieve these aims and this manifesto sets out how we will continue to deliver a new vision for a Better North Ayrshire beyond May. It is a manifesto that doesn’t accept the status quo, it is set to challenge it. A Labour administration of North Ayrshire Council will not manage austerity. We won’t accept that poverty, low life expectancy, unemployment, an attainment gap between the richest and poorest is inevitable. We will not just fight for an end to austerity but we will ensure that the resources available to North Ayrshire Council are utilised to their full potential, targeting them as effectively as possible to help North Ayrshire grow, to reduce the inequalities that exist within our communities and deliver equity of opportunity for all our people. We have achieved so much in six short months and this manifesto sets that out.

  • Appendix 4 Pupil Equity Fund in North Ayrshire
    NORTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL 21 January 2020 Cabinet Title: Pupil Equity Funding in North Ayrshire – Progress Report Purpose: To provide an update on the use of Pupil Equity Funding (PEF) in North Ayrshire and the impact this is having on children’s outcomes. Recommendation: It is recommended that Cabinet notes the progress made to date. 1. Executive Summary 1.1 North Ayrshire Council schools have received in the region of £4.4m for each of the last three financial years as Pupil Equity Funding to reduce the poverty-related attainment gap. Up to the end of the financial year 2018-19, North Ayrshire had cumulatively spent 94% of this allocation, compared with 84% nationally. 1.2 Plans have been created in every school which outline how PEF will be spent. Almost all interventions focus on improving literacy, numeracy and health & wellbeing. In 2018- 19, 57% of overall spend was on staff costs, while 43% was used for purchasing additional resources. 1.3 Schools report good progress is being made towards planned outcomes. An increasing amount of data and supporting evidence is emerging. The overall attainment in literacy and numeracy is improving, with some reduction in the gap between learners from the most and least deprived areas of North Ayrshire. 1.4 Good practice is being shared through case studies within North Ayrshire about what is working well and collaborative conferences across the Regional Improvement Collaborative, with plans to extend this approach further over the next year. 2. Background 2.1 In February 2015, the Scottish First Minister launched the Scottish Attainment Challenge and the £750m Attainment Scotland Fund.
