HALTON SCHOOL GAMES NEWS ‘Celebrating Competitive School Sport Throughout Halton’ AUTUMN TERM 2014 HALTON SCHOOL GAMES NEWS ‘Celebrating Competitive School Sport throughout Halton’ AUTUMN TERM 2014 Once again the Autumn term has provided a great warm up for the year ahead. The Halton School Games Competition calendar is full of opportunities for all pupils to experience competing for their school locally, and for those successful school teams to progress and represent Halton at Merseyside (Level 3) School Games finals later in the year. The first year of the Governments Primary PE and School Sport funding allocated to every Primary school national has had a positive impact with schools engaging in School Games initiatives. There is evidence from schools recently Ofsted inspected that engaging in the School Games really does demonstrate how a school is achieving the aims and objectives set out by Ofsted’s PE and School Sport framework. The positive news is that the current Government has announced they will commit further funding for Primary PE and Sport until 2020. I would like to THANK all schools and key partners involved in ensuring the young people of Halton continue to develop and succeed through the element of sport. This newsletter celebrates a snap shot of inter school competitions, leadership and PE and School Sport developments which have taken place this Autumn Term.

    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.

  • Green Travel Plan: Updated June 2014
    GREEN TRAVEL PLAN: UPDATED JUNE 2014 1. INTRODUCTION The objective of this plan is to remove unnecessary travel, with an emphasis on the minimisation of the use of and reliance upon travel by car. To this end, use of more sustainable modes of travel – bicycles, shared cars and public transport all need to be promoted in more practical ways. The updated Travel Plan will apply to all users of the College – students, staff and visitors. Priestley College has one main campus located on Loushers Lane, Warrington. The College attracts learners from over 40 high schools and also offers a wide and diverse combination of subjects to young people beyond Warrington. The main daytime age range of students is 16 to 18 years. In the evening, courses on offer are aimed towards adult learners. In addition to offering adult courses on one evening a week at the main site, the College runs a range of adult courses, focused mainly on skills for life, in some 30 outreach centres in the Warrington area. The use of outreach centres is designed to ‘take learning to the learners’ and generally in venues such as church halls and community centres. Analysis of learner post codes demonstrates that learners very rarely travel far to study in these centres. At present, the only restriction limiting the number of students and staff bringing cars on to the campus is the parking space available. In 2009, the College introduced separate car- parking arrangements for staff and for students. The College now designates 40 parking spaces for students, which reduces car traffic movement about campus during peak hours (improving safety).
