Statistical Report 2015/16 Statistical report 2015/16 The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is exceeding all expectations in Hackney. Not only are more young people than ever before taking part in our valued programme, but more young people than ever before are going on to complete it. It has been an exceptional year. Schools in Hackney are recognising the importance of offering the DofE to their pupils. Participation in a DofE programme accelerates progress and attainment by encouraging independent learners and enhancing resilience, self- esteem and problem solving abilities. The link between DofE programmes and the new Ofsted framework is therefore an obvious one, and it is of little surprise that schools are opting to embrace the DofE in their wider offer. The diversity of organisations who offer the programme is greater than ever before. In addition to schools, an increased number of Young Hackney’s youth hubs offer accreditation for DofE activities. We are seeing increased take up from cultural and religious community groups, special schools and uniformed organisations. This means that the benefits of the DofE are available to more young people in the borough than ever before and is demonstrative of one of our guiding principles: the DofE is achievable by all. Whilst we are delighted with an increased demand and continued growth, it is important that we understand the pressure that this puts on our resources. The growth in the DofE and the progress that has been shown over such a small period of time is indicative of the potential within the borough. Continued investment into the skills and structure of our staff teams is essential to ensure young people are supported to complete their whole award and realise their potential. Finally, the growth in Hackney would not have been achieved without the professional support from headteachers, teachers, youth workers, volunteers and managers who have dedicated their time to make DofE a success. It would be remiss of me not to take this opportunity to thank them for their hard work and the invaluable contribution they make in supporting the achievements and personal Rob Clark development of young people. Operations Manager - London Region Contents Introduction 2 What’s it all about? 4 Hackney headline statistics 6 New participants 8 Awards achieved 9 Completion rate 10 Growth 12 Appendix: participant demographics 15 Hackney has a youth unemployment rate of 6.3%, higher than both the London and the national average. The crime rate per population is one in ten, considerably higher than the national average. The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is highly valued by universities and employers and promotes community cohesion. More than half of pupils in Hackney do not have English as a first language and 21% of children live in out-of-work families, both considerably higher than the London and national averages. Young people are encouraged to work together to achieve shared aims and take responsibility for each other and their communities. People in Hackney are less happy and more anxious than both the London and national averages. Over 70% of DofE participants report greater feelings of self-esteem and greater confidence through their engagement with their programmes. Source: data.london.gov.uk; University of Northampton: Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Impact Research What’s it all about? The DofE charity The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award supports over 275,000 people aged 14 to 24 every year. Its ethos is to enable every young person of every background to take part in programmes and succeed, regardless of any barriers. DofE programmes DofE programmes are at one of three progressive levels which, when successfully completed, lead to a Bronze, Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. There are four sections at Bronze and Silver level and five at Gold: Volunteering: undertaking service to individuals or the community Physical: improving in an area of sport, dance or fitness activities Skills: developing practical and social skills and personal interests Expedition planning, training for and completing an adventurous journey in the UK or abroad At Gold level, participants must do an additional fifth Residential section, which involves staying and working away from home doing a shared activity. Who can do it? Anyone aged between 14 and 24 can take part in DofE programmes. It is non-competitive and allows any young person to take part, regardless of their background or personal circumstances. Why should young people do their DofE? Enhances formal education The DofE enhances young people’s formal education by enabling them to develop the whole person – the mind body and soul – in an environment of social interaction and team working. Inclusive and balanced programme The programme is achievable by all young people regardless of ability, gender, background or location. Whoever they are or wherever they are from, young people can enjoy unique experiences and rewards which are relevant to their starting point. Personal programme Taking part in their DofE means the participant designs a programme entirely of their own choosing, picking activities based around their interests, passions and strengths. Enhances employability The skills and personal attributes developed through participation are recognised by employers, colleges and universities. Research with Gold Award holders showed: 79% developed leadership skills 83% improved team working and tolerance of others 93% 85% gained confidence of young people feel under pressure to demonstrate 61% continued with volunteering they can be an ‘all-rounder’ 74 % developed self-esteem. in the workplace The United Learning Trust (ULT) surveyed key organisations, such as Eurotunnel plc, Honda (UK) Ltd and Tesco about their graduate recruitment. Out of 29 activities undertaken at school these companies rated The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award as most important.

  • School Organisation Plan 2020-2025
    School Organisation Plan 2020-2025 September 2020 School Organisation Plan 2020-2025 1 1. Introduction This document sets out the London Borough of Hackney’s School Organisation Plan from 2020 to 2025. Local authorities have a statutory duty to ensure there is a sufficient number of school places for pupils and that places are planned effectively. In Hackney, this is managed by Hackney Education (HE), the Council’s education service. Between 2007 and 2014 Hackney experienced significant and unprecedented growth in demand for primary school reception places with very high rolls between 2012 and 2016. This trend was replicated in London and across the country. In response, local authorities created additional school places to cater for the increased demand. Furthermore, new school places were created through the government’s Academy and Free School programmes. Since 2015 however, demand for reception places across London has decreased again year on year. The reason why rolls are falling is unclear, but it is thought to be a combination of changes to welfare benefits, rising rents and the possible effects of Brexit. Falling reception rolls has led to a significant number of surplus reception places, which has impacted on the efficient running and financial stability of some schools. The HE School Place Planning Group (SPP) monitors school rolls, school roll projections and the financial health of schools, taking steps, where appropriate, to implement school organisation changes across the borough in consultation with other London Borough of Hackney departments. At a later date, this plan will feed into the Council’s Capital Programme and Asset Management Strategy.
