An Investment Plan for Liverpool's liverpool.gov.uk An Investment Plan for Liverpool’s Secondary Schools Introduction from Councillor Joe Anderson, Leader of Liverpool City Council Following the cancellation of Liverpool’s £350 million Building Schools for the Future programme in July 2010, I commissioned a Task Force to look at a rescue package to find ways to deliver as much of the original programme as possible. Their challenge was to suggest how we could deliver more for less, now that previous levels of Government funding are simply not available. The Task Force has completed its review and reported back to me. The City Council is now coming forward with a set of proposals which will deliver not just a better education but also a much needed boost to the local economy, and will also help us build stronger local communities. We are now launching a consultation on the investment we hope we can deliver, with support from Government, in secondary schools in each part of the city. We are keen to hear your views, so please take the time to look through this document, and be sure to have your say.

    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.

It should be redeveloped for high quality housing. This will respond to a critical need in South Liverpool. Housing use will enable the beneficial use of the listed building and redevelopment of City Campus (LJMU) the remainder of the site provides an opportunity to deliver high quality apartment development alongside large family housing, including 4 and 5 bedroom properties with gardens. The IM Marsh Campus comprises various university buildings, that range in age and quality, and three sports pitches. The buildings on the Site will be surplus to academic requirements, following the planned transfer of faculties to the Copperas Hill site in the City Centre. The buildings are relatively low quality both visually and physically, apart from two historic buildings. The previously developed land on the Site represents c.50% of the total Site area. The remaining Site area comprises sports pitches which LJMU are currently developing a strategy to relocate near to the City Centre Campus. These planned improvements are part of LJMU’s wider vision to deliver a walkable campus within Liverpool City Centre.

    Citizenship established? Citizenship in schools 2006/09 In 2006, the report Towards consensus? provided a picture of citizenship as an emerging presence in schools, with many gains since its introduction in 2002 but with considerable barriers to be overcome. This report, based on a similarly sized sample of schools, shows steady progress as citizenship becomes more widely understood and acquires depth in the light of experience, but also highlights what these schools need to tackle if citizenship is to be firmly established.
