I didn’t believe him. I have waited until the last day to say how I feel, but now I know I am transformed. To be honest I was a little lazy – my parents did everything for me. Now I have learnt to look after myself in so many ways. I really like the way the teachers at Varndean talk to you like a person, and want to know your opinion. This is very different for me, and it took some time to really believe it! I love walking past the Victorian houses in Brighton, with balconies and trees and the sea, it’s magical! This experience has opened my eyes to the world of travel. And to myself. “ B from Slovakia on Short Term StudyProgramme, Jan-May Semester I am really happy for the year. I have had lots of time to reflect, and feel more mature and expansive. I have been able to reflect on my future path and my relationship with people at home.

  • Post-16 LIF Students Cohort Summary
    Post-16 LIF students cohort summary As part of the proposal to consult on discretional home to school/college transport, one of the options is to cease transport for post-16 students from low income families (LIF)1 who are between 16 and 19 years old. This option is mitigated by the proposal to retain up to 25% of the forecast 2015/16 budget spend of £240k to act as a targeted hardship fund. If post-16 transport as it now stands were to be ‘ceased’ for this group, this will be imposed on new starters only in September 2016. As travel support is offered in most cases for 2 years and for some students for 3 years, any changes will not be complete until the third year following implementation (2018/19). The hardship fund allocation would increase in line with demand, as only new starters will be subject to the new regime (so the fund will be the equivalent of 25% of the funding the students will have received in 2014/15, for those no longer receiving this full support from September 2016 – students awarded support prior to this time will continue to receive the same assistance). The ideal would be to use this funding to offer hardship fund support to those who most need it in order to continue their education; however there are a number of options for the nature of this support. Potential savings by Financial Year 2016/17* 2017/18 2018/19 2019/20 Option a £39 ,063 £117,147 £130,729 £130,729 Removal of funding Students from low income families - HTST budget Travel Grants (non-HTST budget) £34,109 £101,818 £112,000 £112,000 25% hardship funds £18,293 £54,741 £60,682 £60,682 Total for Option a minus hardship fund £54,879 £164,224 £182,047 £182,047 Total for Option a £73,172 £218,965 £242,729 £242,729 * adjusted for part-financial year with changes from September 2016 (68% of full year) For the 2016/17 academic year, the identified hardship fund allocation would be approximately half of the figure for the entire cohort, as roughly half of applicants for support from September 2016 will be starting new courses.

  • British Airways I360 Media Pack
    British Airways i360 Media Pack Walk on air British Airways i360 is the world’s tallest moving observation tower: a 162-metre-tall vertical tower with a fully enclosed futuristic glass observation pod that gently lifts groups of up to 200 passengers to a height of 138 metres. Located at the landward end of the West Pier on Brighton beach, British Airways i360 is a modern-day ‘vertical pier’, inviting visitors to ‘walk on air’ and gain a new perspective on the city, just as the original pier welcomed Victorian society to ‘walk on water’. From the glass viewing pod, guests can enjoy 360-degree views across Regency Brighton and Hove, the South Downs, the English Channel and the south coast east to Beachy Head, and on the clearest days all the way to the Isle of Wight in the west. The design and engineering of British Airways i360 is as impressive as it is innovative. The tower has a height-to-width ratio of more than 40:1 and state-of-the-art cable car technology is used to drive the pod up and down. Around 50% of the energy needed to power the pod is generated on its descent. Eleven years in the making from design to reality, British Airways i360 is the brainchild of architect-entrepreneurs David Marks and Julia Barfield of Marks Barfield Architects, best known as the practice that conceived and designed the world famous London Eye.
