  • Education and Learning Strategy 2018/22
    Education and Learning Strategy 2018/22 101240 (10.18) Welcome Welcome to Lambeth’s Education and Learning Strategy 2018–22 which looks ahead to the next few years and outlines our shared ambition for our learners of all ages. It has been developed in partnership between schools, other educational establishments and the Council. We want Lambeth to continue to be at the forefront of change and improvement in education, retaining good relationships between education providers and the Council and building on our collective strengths and achievements. We have strong partnerships between schools, colleges, neighbouring authorities, families, local communities and the Council that enable us to work towards securing an autonomous and self- improving education system. This commitment to raising standards is supported by a sound infrastructure of early years provision in our childcare, nursery school and children centre provision. Our charter for education and learning encapsulates our aspirations and ways of working together (see appendix 1, page 8). The overwhelming majority of Lambeth schools have chosen to retain their close working relationship with the Council. In 2017 the Lambeth Schools Partnership was launched to sustain high quality outcomes and excellent teaching and learning across the borough. The partnership is united in its vision that schools and other education settings should build on an existing culture of collaborative working to enable all the borough’s children and young people to experience the best possible education opportunities, outcomes and life chances. This Strategy is aligned to the overall role of the Council in supporting growth, improving community resilience, enhancing place and providing support to the vulnerable.

  • GW1 Green Screens Programme PDF 251 KB
    OFFICER DELEGATED DECISION REPORT Report title: School Green Screens Programme Wards: All Portfolio: Councillor Claire Holland, Deputy Leader of the Council (Sustainable Transport, Environment and Clean Air) Report Authorised by: Sara Waller / Eleanor Purser, Strategic Director for Sustainable Growth and Opportunity Contact for enquiries: Leena Khatri, Sustainability Technical Officer, [email protected], 020 7926 0525 Report summary The current administration’s 2018 manifesto committed to install green screens at Lambeth schools on a main road. This report considers progress to date and recommends the programme to deliver against this ambition by May 2022. In recent years, green screens have been built at St Anne’s Primary and Stockwell Primary School, as part of the Mayor’s Air Quality School Audit programme, and also at Wyvil Primary, St Helen’s Primary, Corpus Christi Catholic Primary, Loughborough Primary, St John the Divine Primary, Oasis Johanna Primary, and Rosendale Primary. This report sets out proposals to install green screens at additional schools in Lambeth and explains the reasons why green screens are being recommended at certain schools. Table 1 lists schools in Lambeth which have not been selected for a green screen and the reasons why. An overview plan and list of schools included in the current green screen programme is set out in Table 2 of this report. Finance summary The total maximum cost of the school green screens programme is estimated to be £350,000. This cost can be met from the capital budget for Energy, Flood Prevention and Climate Change response infrastructure agreed by Cabinet in July 2020. If required, contributions could also be sourced from the capital budget for Transport and Public Realm agreed in July 2020 or from grant funding that becomes available for these measures.

  • Education and Learning Strategy 2015/18
    Education and Learning Strategy 2015/18 10776 (4.15) Welcome Welcome to Lambeth’s Education and Learning Strategy 2015/18 which looks ahead to the next few years and outlines our shared ambition for our learners of all ages. It has been developed in partnership between schools and other educational establishments and the Council. Lambeth has come a long way in raising standards for its learners. Ten years ago it was near the bottom of the national league tables. Now the borough is one of the highest performing areas in the country for the attainment of pupils at GCSE; it is above national averages at all key stages for most groups of pupils and our special school and alternative education provision is all judged to be ‘good’ or better. Ninety percent of all our overall education provision is judged good or better. Lambeth Adult Learning & Morley College are judged ‘Good‘ and Lambeth College is ‘improving’. This change has come about because of strong local leadership, an investment in the education estate and learning environments; the creation of sustainable learning communities – for example the move to all-through primary schools and the development of federations of small schools; the investment in our teachers and school leaders, believing they are the key to improvement of outcomes for learners and a continued investment by the Council in high quality school improvement advice, research, data and relevant traded services. We believe that strong schools and settings are essential to strong communities, local community cohesion, economic growth and healthy societies. We want Lambeth to continue to be at the forefront of change and improvement in education, retaining good relationships between early years providers, schools, further education and the Council, building on our collective strengths and achievements.
