Student Voice Survey for Secondary Schools 2017 Student Voice Survey for Secondary Schools 2017 Welcome to the Student Voice Survey 2017. We are asking many students from all across County Durham to answer these questions. We want to know what you think about school, and what life is like for children and young people in County Durham. Your school will use the results of this survey to improve your experience of school. What you say will help your school to make sure that they are doing everything that they can to help you to succeed. Other organisations, such as the NHS and Durham County Council, will also use the results of this survey to find out what else they might be able to do to help make sure you are safe, healthy and happy. The survey is anonymous, which means that there is no way your school, or anyone else, can find out what answers you personally have selected, or what you have said. This is why we do not ask you for your name or your date of birth, or for any other information which we would be able to identify you from. There are seven sections in the questionnaire. Please be honest and answer as many questions as you can. Your views are important. Thank you for your help.

    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.

  • Cabinet 6 February 2019 School Admission Arrangements Academic
    Cabinet 6 February 2019 School Admission Arrangements Academic Year 2020/21 Report of Corporate Management Team Margaret Whellans, Corporate Director, Children and Young People's Services Councillor Olwyn Gunn, Portfolio Holder for Children and Young People’s Services Electoral division(s) affected: Countywide Purpose of the Report 1 The purpose of this report is to ask Cabinet to consider and approve the proposed admission arrangements and oversubscription criteria for Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools for the 2020/21 academic year. Executive summary 2 There is a proposed additional criterion to the current oversubscription criteria for admission to Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools. The Government wishes admission authorities to introduce oversubscription criteria to give children who were previously in state care outside of England, and have ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted, second highest priority for admission into school. This is because the Government believes such children are vulnerable and may have experienced abuse and neglect prior to being adopted. 3 Consultation has been carried out with schools, other admission authorities, Governing Bodies and parents on the council's admission arrangements in accordance with the national School Admissions Code as it is 7 years since they were last consulted on. Recommendation 4 Cabinet is asked to agree the proposed oversubscription criteria for admission to Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools; and to agree the following in respect of Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools, when determining the admission arrangements for 2020/21: (i) That the proposed admission numbers as recommended in Appendix 2 be approved. (ii) That the admission arrangements at Appendix 3 be approved.
