Our other staff are professionals working in support functions from customer service, finance and accounting, HR, IT, marketing and estates management. Every year we help more than 34,000 local people gain skills and qualifications which change their lives. By helping them into higher education and employment, we help Nottingham and Nottinghamshire prosper by ensuring that our businesses are able to find the people they need in order to grow. Our staff know the difference that education makes to people’s lives - they see it every day. Working with local businesses, they are constantly developing and delivering excellent education that meets their needs and those of students, creating opportunities and prosperity for both. 34,000 £70m students income 1,300 staff 10 campuses 300+ courses and apprenticeships 92% positive 2,500 student employer destinations clients Nottingham College will transform further education in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire through excellent education and employment for our students, their families, employers and the wider community. Our local businesses face a number of strategic challenges if Nottingham and Nottinghamshire are to be transformed into one of Europe’s most productive, high-value economies and a key engine of UK growth. In response, we will meet employer needs by providing people with job-related skills and qualifications as well as the softer skills which allow people to succeed in the workplace. We will create opportunities to progress by offering clear pathways from education to employment and from entry to degree level, exploiting the College’s strong entry level offer and investment in student support and pastoral care. We will invest in specialist staff, facilities and competencies to respond to employers’ needs, to serve changing and growing markets as well as national, regional and local priorities. We are committed to meet the future needs of Nottingham, especially in Construction, Engineering and Automotive, Science and Health Science, Digital and Creative Industries, Care, Health and Early Years, A Levels and GCSEs and through the development of innovative STEM programmes. Our estates strategy has been designed around a hub and spoke model. At the centre is our flagship City Hub (opened November 2020). Across Nottingham, a series of specialist centres of excellence will meet the needs of key growth sectors of the local economy as well as supporting English and maths, A Level and higher education provision. Highfields Campus, located on University Boulevard, houses our specialist engineering courses and includes a variety of impressive workshops including fabrication, welding, robotics, electrical, programmable logic as well as lathe and milling workshops. The campus hosts a ‘hub’ which is home to the reception, library and canteen. The centre is also environmentally friendly by the collection of all rain water from the site which is then released into a reed bed, in order to reduce the amount of water going into the drains. Arthur Mee Centre (Stapleford) is home to our supported learning (SLDD) courses and includes a range of specialist resources available such as: a sensory room, accessible IT software and hardware and accessible sports equipment. At Stapleford, we offer flexible learning programmes from Pre-entry Level through to Level 1. All courses are designed to support students to increase their confidence, self-esteem, self-awareness and independence. All our programmes include employability, vocational, personal and social development, maths, English and IT skills. We offer a flexible curriculum to meet the needs of students with higher support needs and ensure having fun and great experiences are compulsory! Our new City Hub campus opened its doors to students in November 2020 and is now in full swing! The City Hub consists of an impressive six storeys of state-of-the-art facilities and resources for more than 2000 students and nearly 300 staff. Housing our performing arts centre, our catering and hospitality curriculum, our business, computing and IT provision, our creative and digital media, travel and tourism, science and early years provision. We are very proud to say that it’s at the forefront of vocational learning and skills development for the future. The City Hub is a landmark building for Nottingham, representing a £58m investment in education and enterprise. It forms an important part of a scheme to regenerate this area of the city to provide a fitting entrance to the southern part of Nottingham City centre. The role is rich and diverse, and requires a proactive and innovative education leader who wishes to be deeply involved across all areas of Nottingham College’s portfolio and has the energy and ambition to lead and succeed in a complex organisation. The successful candidate should possess proven leadership and management credentials, and the vision, strategic and operational know-how, and capability to enhance Nottingham College’s performance. A strategic thinker, you will balance seeing the big picture with an innate curiosity and desire to understand the complexity and key drivers in the various parts of the organisation. You should have passion for education, its ability to transform lives and equip people for work and life. You will combine well-honed technical skills with the intuition of an experienced, rounded education leader. It is imperative that the new Deputy Principal has sufficient ‘finger on the pulse’ to provide the assurance to the Chief Executive, Executive Leadership Team and the Governing Body of the progress within the curriculum, while possessing the intellectual capability, horsepower and desire to contribute and influence the overall strategic direction of the college. You will be a highly visible leader who champions our ‘One Team’ approach and an approachable member of staff with the ability to work collaboratively while providing constructive challenge and holding senior colleagues to account. Possessing an open manner and a ‘no surprises’ management style which will build trust and respect amongst their colleagues at all levels throughout the organisation.

  • Chapter One: Introduction 1
    Feminism, citizenship and social activity: The role and importance of local women’s organisations, Nottingham 1918-1969 Samantha Clements, B.A., M.A. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy January 2008 ABSTRACT This local study of single-sex organisations in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire is an attempt to redress some of the imbalanced coverage given to this area of history thus far. A chronological study, it examines the role, importance and, to some extent, impact of a wide range of women’s organisations in the local context. Some were local branches of national organisations, others were specifically concerned with local issues. The local focus allows a challenge to be made to much current thought as to the strength of a “women’s movement” in the years between the suffrage movement and the emergence of a more radical form of feminism in the 1970s. The strength of feminist issues and campaigning is studied in three periods – the inter-war period, the Second World War and its immediate aftermath, and the 1950s and 1960s. The first two periods have previously been studied on a national level but, until recently, the post-Second World war era has been written off as overwhelmingly domestic and therefore unconstructive to the achievement of any feminist aims. This study suggests that, at a local level, this is not the case and that other conclusions reached about twentieth century feminism at a national level are not always applicable to the local context. The study also goes further than attempting to track interest in equality feminism in the mid years of the century by discussing the importance of citizenship campaigns and the social dimension of membership of women’s organisations.

    Chapter Eight: Accessibility Priorities for Greater Nottingham Accessibility Strategy 2006/7 – 2010/11 147 148 Accessibility Strategy 2006/7 – 2010/11 Introduction 8.1. Following on from the Strategic Accessibility Assessment in Chapter 7, this chapter sets out the accessibility priorities for Greater Nottingham and explains why specific issues, groups and areas have been selected for action over the Plan period, with more detailed local accessibility analysis presented for the Local Accessibility Action plans proposed for early action from 2006/7. Accessibility priorities – initial scoping 8.2. An initial scoping of the likely accessibility priorities for the Plan area was presented in the Framework Accessibility Strategy which drew upon the opportunities identified from the wider national and local policy context set out in Chapters 3 and 4 and the partnership working described in Chapter 6. This provided a broad picture of the accessibility issues facing Greater Nottingham and where future resources and action should be concentrated over the Plan period in terms of key origins, destinations and networks: 8.3. Origins: Access requirements need to be considered for key population groups across Greater Nottingham, with a particular focus on those without access to a car, plus all those living within specific communities which have been prioritised by the authorities as being in particular need. Accessibility origins are set out in Table 8.1. 8.4. Destinations: Consideration was also given to the location of core services. The priority destinations set out in Table 8.2 include new employment land sites, district centres as defined in the Local Plans, other local centres and major shopping locations and other key destinations determined by developments taking place over the Plan period as set out in the programme in Annex D.

    REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE High Pavement Sixth Form College June 1995 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council has a legal duty to make sure further education in England is properly assessed. The FEFC’s inspectorate inspects and reports on each college of further education every four years. The inspectorate also assesses and reports nationally on the curriculum and gives advice to FEFC’s quality assessment committee. College inspections are carried out in accordance with the framework and guidelines described in Council Circular 93/28. They involve full-time inspectors and registered part-time inspectors who have knowledge and experience in the work they inspect. Inspection teams normally include at least one member who does not work in education and a member of staff from the college being inspected. GRADE DESCRIPTORS The procedures for assessing quality are set out in the Council Circular 93/28. During their inspection, inspectors assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Their assessments are set out in the reports. They also use a five-point grading scale to summarise the balance between strengths and weaknesses. The descriptors for the grades are: • grade 1 – provision which has many strengths and very few weaknesses • grade 2 – provision in which the strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses • grade 3 – provision with a balance of strengths and weaknesses • grade 4 – provision in which the weaknesses clearly outweigh the strengths • grade 5 – provision which has many weaknesses and very few strengths.

  • The Nottinghamshire Baptists and Education
    The Nottinghamshire Baptists and Education EFORE the nineteenth century educational opportunities for the B poor were meagre. In Nottinghamshire there were ten endowed grammar schools and about fifty endowed elementary schools, many of them linked with chantry bequests. In country districts there were "dame schools" where a little reading and writing were taught at a fee of threepence a week. In Nottingham itself facilities were even scantier. For the few who could gain admission there were three en­ dowed grammar schools, the Free Grammar School, the Bluecoat School and the High Pavement School, and a number of private "aca­ demies". Dearden's Directory of 1834 lists eighty-six such schools, and when the Education Act of 1870 was passed there were over a hundred, of which thirty-two charged less than ninepence a week. One of the Nottinghamshire elementary schools, Collingham, was of Baptist foundation. In his will of 1699 William Harte left an endow­ ment to provide a school for the children of the village; his wife, Mary Harte, increased this in 1713.1 The teacher was to be a Baptist. In 1828 the school had twenty-three boys on its roll, of whom five were of Baptist families. Half a century later the endowment provided £50 a year and was supplemented by £15-£18 from public funds. The last surviving register, that of 1892-3, lists thirty-four girls but no boys. The school closed in the early years of this century. Baptist ministers frequendy supplemented their income by running private schools. There were at least two such schools in Nottingham­ shire early in the nineteenth century; one at Beeston, conducted by Thomas Rogers, and another at Sutton-in-Ashfield, conducted by Clement N ott.

Usually, work makes up 80% of an apprenticeship and at least 20% (or one day a week) should be dedicated to studying. Traineeships – this is an option for students who would like to do an apprenticeship but may not have the experience, skills or qualifications to do so yet. Traineeships can last up to six months and involve a work placement, Maths and English qualifications and support with finding an apprenticeship. Part‐Time Study with Employment or Volunteering – this could be working in a full‐time job (classed as any work that takes place over more than two months and is over 20 hours per week) or volunteering (again, over 20 hours per week) while studying part‐ time at a college or training provider (totalling 280 hours of learning per year).
