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.

  • Rye Studio School Author: Department for Education (Dfe)
    Title: Rye Studio School Author: Department for Education (DfE) Approved in July 2012, opened in September 2013 Impact Assessment – Section 9 Academies Act Duty 1. Section 9 of the Academies Act 2010 (later as amended by the Education Act 2011) places a duty on the Secretary of State to take into account what the impact of establishing the institution would likely be on maintained schools, Academies, institutions within the further education sector and alternative provision in the area in which the institution is (or is proposed to be) situated. Any adverse impact will need to be balanced against the benefits of establishing the new school. 2. We have carried out an Impact Assessment (see Annex B1) which concludes that the impact on most local schools should be minimal to moderate. One school, Hastings Academy, has been assessed as high impact as the academy was undersubscribed for entry in 2011/2012 and has existing surplus places of 22%. However, there are mitigating factors that would reduce this to moderate. Hastings Academy is an 11 – 18 technology college, specialising in English and Information and Communication Technology. It opened as a sponsored academy on 1 September 2011 (the main sponsor is the University of Brighton with East Sussex County Council and BT as co- sponsors). As it has recently become a sponsored academy, education standards will improve and thus make the school more attractive. This is demonstrated through the most recent Ofsted report (June 2013) which rated the academy as good. In addition, Rye Studio School’s specialism (Creative Arts and Media) is sufficiently different to Hastings Academy to make it less likely to attract their students.

  • Be the Change... Breaking Down Barriers and Raising Aspirations
    Be the Change... breaking down barriers and raising aspirations. A collaboration between LoveLocalJobs.com and social enterprise humanutopia, Be the Change is a ground breaking, inspirational programme aimed at year 9 students who may face challenges and difficulties in school or with school life. The programme focuses on happiness, confidence, hope, relationships and employability and encourages students to identify their personal barriers to success, before helping them find ways of overcoming them. Supported by the Be the Change team, business representatives from organisations across the local area are invited to be involved in the programme as business guides and positive role models – they work closely with the students, sharing their experiences and stories of their career journey’s, as well as encouraging the students and listening to their day to day struggles. Meeting on up to 6 separate occasions during the academic year (including large scale conferences, 1:1 sessions and workplace visits), the programme helps students to understand what positive changes they need to make in order to realise these aspirations, and what qualities are required to be successful in business and the workplace. Be the Change helps open student’s eyes to the world of work and wealth of the possibilities and career opportunities in their hometown and beyond. It also provides a great opportunity for businesses to engage with their future workforce, building awareness of their employer brand amongst young people in their local area. Where it all began and a bit about us… Be the Change was created in 2015, in partnership with social enterprise humanutopia, in response to 5 years’ worth of feedback from employers about the gaps they were experiencing in their talent pipelines.
