  • 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.

  • View from Mr Sprouting
    SOUTH South Bromsgrove High - An Academy Trust Half-Yearly Newsletter Issue 5 2015 www.southbromsgrove.worcs.sch.uk View from Mr Sprouting What’s your first memory? I remember running around the dining room table which seemed to tower above me, beneath me was a hideous tartan-style carpet and I was trying to escape from the clutches of my parents who were taking me for my first day at school. Times haven’t really changed when it comes to having to go to school! What is your favourite food? If we are staying in then I always enjoy a Sunday roast; my wife makes great roast potatoes. If we are going out or it’s take away then a curry every time. Has to be fairly spicy though. When you were 16 what plans did you have for a career? I originally wanted to be a social worker and in my gap year I worked with young offenders. I soon realised that you needed a lot more patience than I have in order to work in that profession. Who’s your favourite actor/actress? I’m more of a fan of directors than actors as they seem to be the ones with the vision. Too many to mention but if I had to pick a few I would go for Murnau’s Sunrise which is so cinematic, Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner which is full of ideas on what it means to be human, and most films by Danny Boyle who for me is one of the best British directors working today.

    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.
