Between October 2015 and early February 2016 Officers from Lewisham Children and Young People's Directorate reviewed Alternative Provision in Lewisham. The Review included engaging with a range of stakeholders, examining their provision, exploring issues, sharing good practice, evaluating and interpreting a wide range of performance indicators and analysing data from the main agencies and services that support children and young people in Alternative Provision settings. The key recommendations from the Review are being implemented over a three year timeframe: 1. Implement a programme to reduce the number of fixed term and permanent exclusions from Lewisham secondary schools. 2. Implement a programme to increase the number of children and young people who are re- integrated back in to Lewisham Schools from Alternative Provision, including Pupil Referral Units (PRUs. 3. Implement a programme to improve levels of attendance of children and young people attending Lewisham AP. 4. Have a clear process to enable schools to access sixth day provision for pupils who have been excluded. 5 Review the AP Quality Assurance Framework to ensure that there is provision for all Key Stages. 6. Ensure that all provision accessed for Lewisham children and young people is Department for Education Registered.* 7. Raise the awareness and importance of schools' responsibility to ensure the quality and suitability of children and young people AP placements at all Key Stages and encourage schools to regularly visit to check that the AP continues to be fit for purpose. 8. Develop and implement provision that fills the gaps identified in the Review.

It is also of a different order to any public realm project the City has undertaken in recent years. At its heart is a major highways scheme, but its key deliverable is transformational public realm improvement. Significant work has been undertaken to advance the project since Gateway 3, including extensive public consultation. The consultation results are positive, showing a high level of support for the scheme. Many of the technical issues identified at Gateway 3 have now been resolved or mitigated. There remains a considerable amount of work to be done, but a series of work-streams, all coordinated by a high-level project board, are being progressed. As the scheme design has progressed, the cost has risen. However, TfL has also increased its financial contribution to the scheme. Context Aldgate is one of the five Key City Places listed in the City‟s Core Strategy and Draft Local Plan.

  • Open Letter to Address Systemic Racism in Further Education
    BLACK FURTHER EDUCATION LEADERSHIP GROUP 5th August 2020 Open letter to address systemic racism in further education Open letter to: Rt. Hon. Boris Johnson, Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Gavin Williamson MP, Secretary of State for Education, funders of further education colleges; regulatory bodies & further education membership bodies. We, the undersigned, are a group of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) senior leaders, and allies, who work or have an interest in the UK further education (FE) sector. The recent #BlackLivesMatter (#BLM) global protest following the brutal murder of George Floyd compels us all to revisit how we address the pervasive racism that continues to taint and damage our society. The openness, solidarity and resolve stirred by #BLM is unprecedented and starkly exposes the lack of progress made in race equality since ‘The Stephen Lawrence Enquiry’. Against a background of raised concerns about neglect in healthcare, impunity of policing, cruelty of immigration systems – and in education, the erasure of history, it is only right for us to assess how we are performing in FE. Only by doing so, can we collectively address the barriers that our students, staff and communities face. The personal, economic and social costs of racial inequality are just too great to ignore. At a time of elevated advocacy for FE, failure to recognise the insidious nature of racism undermines the sector’s ability to fully engage with all its constituent communities. The supporting data and our lived experiences present an uncomfortable truth, that too many BAME students and staff have for far too long encountered a hostile environment and a system that places a ‘knee on our neck’.

This provider has the following strengths: . good pastoral support, especially for the most vulnerable learners . good provision in drama and dance, and in hospitality and catering . good safeguarding of learners; the college provides a welcoming and safe community for its diverse body of learners. Inspection report: Lewisham Southwark College, 2–6 February 2015 2 of 16 Full report What does the provider need to do to improve further? . Urgently tackle the weaknesses identified in both the English and mathematics provision so that all learners have the opportunity to progress to, and succeed in, higher levels of qualification in these subjects.
