    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.

  • Notice to Parents/Carers of Children
    9 December 2016 NOTICE TO PARENTS/CARERS SCHOOL ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS 2018/19 Shropshire Council, as admission authority for community and controlled schools in Shropshire, is conducting a consultation exercise on School Admission Arrangements for 2018/19. The Council is simultaneously co-ordinating a consultation exercise for own admission authority schools, such as academies, whose governing bodies are responsible for setting their admission arrangements and who wish to make changes to those arrangements. We wish to notify all parents/carers that the consultation will begin on Friday 16 December for a period of 6 weeks up until 27 January 2017. In summary the proposed changes are as follows: To amalgamate the designated catchment area of Hope CE Primary School, Worthen CE Primary School and St Mary’s CE Primary School Westbury subject to consolidation of provision onto the current Worthen CE Primary School site. Minor changes to the designated catchment area at secondary transfer to align with the primary designated catchment area. This will affect a small number of residents located at Hope Bagot, Hemford and Roughton. Each resident potentially affected will also be consulted individually. (Please see www.shropshire.gov.uk/schooladmissions for more information and illustrative maps.) St Giles CE Primary School in Shrewsbury has proposed a slight reduction in their Published Admission Number from 46 to 45 to enable better class organisation. Shrewsbury Academy Trust is proposing a reduction to its Published Admission Number from 237 to 187 per year group, resulting in a reduction of 250 places across the two school sites at Corndon Crescent and Worcester Road.

  • EDUCATION, C.1600–2000 Introduction Private Schools
    Judith Everard March 2017 EDUCATION, c.1600–2000 Introduction The Royal Free Grammar School was founded in 1552 by and for the benefit of the townspeople and under its original statutes was to offer free places to the sons of burgesses. This obligation, long redundant due to the lapse of burgess status, was abolished in 1868, with most pupils historically coming from outside the borough.1 Small numbers of those admitted as freemen of the borough in this period were designated ‘schoolmaster’. The frankpledge list for 1668 contains two schoolmasters, and those for 1709 and 1731 name four each (from 1650 to 1775, no more than one ‘schoolmaster’ was admitted in each 25- year period).2 In 1690, Edward Griffiths, churchwarden of St Alkmund, was cited before the bishop’s court ‘for teaching school without license’.3 In fact, as befitted the county town, Shrewsbury had a whole range of schools and educational provision before the 17th century, most of it informal and hard to trace in the records; the first systematic census dates from 1817.4 But there was a developing range of endowed schools which offered education to the sons and daughters of townspeople. This chapter commences with a brief account of the private educational provision from the 17th century before returning to the education of ‘the poor’ and the population at large. Private Schools By the late 17th century there was at least one well regarded private school for girls: a finishing school run by Esther Chambre and Barbery Saxfield ‘in the more fashionable part of Castle Ward near St Mary’s Church’.
