However, with these changes comes the growing misconception that the local authority no longer has a role to play in our children’s education; in fact nothing could be further from the truth. The Secretary of State for Education has made clear his view that sees local authorities taking a strategic role in the educational system, while retaining three core responsibilities: 1. Ensuring a sufficient supply of school places 2. Tackling underperformance in schools and ensuring high standards 3. Supporting vulnerable children Nevertheless, if the City Council is to be successful in these roles and fulfil its wider strategic responsibility, it must redefine its role and relationships with education providers across the city. During our review several challenges were identified, but the one overwhelming message we heard was the need for a new debate on education in the city with a shared vision at its heart. This is central to ensuring that the needs of all our children are met whichever type of school they attend. Committee members see this report as an important step in establishing how the City Council can reframe its role to be an effective Education Champion for children, parents and communities. Following this review, members will continue to explore issues relating to the future role of the Local authority in the new educational landscape and this will form the basis of the committees on going work programme. I would like to thank the Councillors involved in carrying out this Inquiry and in particular I would also like to thank all of the schools, organisations and individuals who contributed evidence.

  • Dear Parents/Carers a Message in Support of West Midlands Police. Police and Schools in the City Are Committed to Working Togeth
    Langley Walk, Birmingham B15 2EF t: 0121 647 2760 e: [email protected] www.city-birmingham.academy Headteacher: Andy Brant BSC Dear Parents/Carers A message in support of West Midlands Police. Police and schools in the city are committed to working together to protect our young people from becoming victims of knife and weapons crime. We use a range of tactics including educational inputs and in-school searches to ensure that students are well- informed about the consequences of carrying weapons, and identify those that continue to do so. It is important that the police, schools and families work together to protect young people. To do this, parents must be aware of the warning signs and talk to children about carrying weapons. The consequences of being found in possession of a knife are serious and long lasting, affecting education, employment and travel opportunities, but most crucially, life. Some young people carry weapons because they feel it will provide protection or increase the respect they are given by their friends, but the sad fact is that they are more likely to become victims of serious violence. Parents should also be aware that girls sometimes carry or store weapons for their boyfriends or other male friends because they believe they are less likely to be stopped by the police. Their reasons are often misguided loyalty or love, but it is still a crime if they are caught carrying a knife or other weapon. WARNING SIGNS These signs don’t always mean the worst is happening and could just be normal teenage behaviour: 1.

  • The Development of Provided Schooling for Working Class Children
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROVIDED SCHOOLING FOR WORKING CIASS CHILDREN IN BIRMINGHAM 1781-1851 Michael Brian Frost Submitted for the degree of Laster of Letters School of History, Faculty of Arts, University of Birmingham, 1978.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. SYNOPSIS This thesis considers the development of 'provided 1 schooling for working class children in Birmingham between 1781 and 1851. The opening chapters critically examine the available statistical evidence for schooling provision in this period, suggesting how the standard statistical information may be augmented, and then presenting a detailed chronology of schooling provision and use. The third chapter is a detailed survey of the men who were controlling and organizing schooling during the period in question. This survey has been made in order that a more informed examination of the trends in schooling shown by the chronology may be attempted. The period 1781-1851 is divided into three roughly equal periods, each of which parallels a major initiative in working class schooling; 1781-1804 and the growth of Sunday schools, 1805-1828 and the development of mass day schooling through monitorial schools, and 1829- 1851 and the major expansion of day schooling.

  • Child Labour in an Industrial Town
    CHILD LABOUR IN AN INDUSTRIAL TOWN: A STUDY OF CHILD WORKERS IN BIRMINGHAM, 1750 to 1880 by MARY NEJEDLY A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for West Midlands History School of History and Cultures University of Birmingham July 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract There has been extensive historical research into child labour in industries such as textiles and coal mining, but there has been little focus on children employed in Birmingham industries such as pin making and button making. This thesis illuminates the extent and nature of child labour in Birmingham and the significant contribution made by child workers to industrialisation between 1750 and 1880. It draws attention to the importance of children’s earnings for family incomes and suggests that some families migrated to the town in search of paid employment for their children as well as adults. The attitudes of employers, Poor Law officials, parents and children towards early work are explored, finding that child workers were regarded as an integral part of the Birmingham economy.
