DECLARATIONS OF INTERESTS Councillor Gary Sambrook declared he is now a school governor at Oscott Manor School. 4. ACTION NOTES (See document 1). RESOLVED: The action notes of the meeting held on the 6th February 2019 were confirmed. 5. SCHOOL ATTAINMENT (DETAILS DATA) AND SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT (See documents 2, 3 and 4). Dr Tim O’Neill, Director for Education and Skills; Julie Young, AD, Education Safeguarding; Tim Boyes, Chief Executive, BEP; Tracy Ruddle, Director of Continuous School Improvement, BEP and Shagufta Anwar, Senior Intelligence Officer presented the item and answered Members’ questions. The following were among the main points raised: • BEP has a two year contract with the Council for school improvement. • The contract is for £1.08m and BEP has brought in an additional £1.4m funding. • BEP are building a more self-sustaining system and the local authority has a critical role to play. • There are a set of outcomes in the contract and there are monthly meetings where they discuss the schools that are causing concern. • Schools do not become inadequate overnight so BEP try and work with the schools that might be vulnerable. • There is an awareness of looking outwards and BEP work quite closely with some London areas. • Primary School performance is below the national average across both attainment and progress measures (except for KS2 Math Progress). • Reading in the majority of schools is keeping the KS2 figure down. • Improvement Strategies include: • Pilot Maths Reasoning Project. • Strategic School Improvement Fund (SSIF) 1 bespoke. • Priority maintained schools support. • Completion of SSIF 2 reading project (this ends in July 2019 and provided £11,000 support work). • Pilot 3 reading packages based on SSIF 2. • DfE School Improvement Offer. • Families of Schools and the KS2 event and Families of Schools KS4. 2 Page 4 of 106 • An indicator as to where improvement is working can be seen in the Ofsted Inspection reports. For instance, 16 schools had a strong paragraph about the quality of reading in their reports. • 190 schools are taking part in one or more of the BEP offers. • 68 priority schools have bespoke support. • They could share information on the Families of Schools when they next attend a committee meeting. • If Members have concerns or issues regarding a particular school then they can discuss these with BEP. RESOLVED: The update was noted. 6. WORK PROGRAMME (See document 5). The Cabinet Member for Education, Skills and Culture is attending the April committee meeting and members requested that they are provided with detail and measurable outcomes. The Chair agreed to provide clear expectations of the committee to the Cabinet Member. Councillor Mary Locke gave her apologies for the April committee meeting. Also, she felt that there had not been many culture items on the committee’s work programme and she is interested in the Commonwealth Games and the impact across all wards. The Chair commented that the committee has such a wide remit and this needs to be picked up when it is the right time. The Chair will follow this up with the Leader and this can be added to the work programme for the new municipal year. Members reiterated that the separation of the former committee into two committees has not really worked and this should be fed back to the leadership before the new municipal year. The Chair undertook to discuss this with the Leader. Members requested whether a meeting or session could be organised for all councillors to attend so they can see the work and literature for the No Outsiders Programme, as this is being portrayed by some as not being age appropriate. This could also include the wider Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) work. RESOLVED: The Work Programme was noted and: • The Chair to: o Provide clear expectations of the committee to the Cabinet Member for Education, Skills and Culture. o Discuss the Commonwealth Games with the Leader. o Discuss the issues arising from the separation of the two O&S Committees (Learning, Culture and Physical Activity and Children’s Social Care O&S Committee) with the Leader. 3 Page 5 of 106 7.

REQUEST(S) FOR CALL IN/COUNCILLOR CALL FOR ACTION/PETITIONS None. 9. OTHER URGENT BUSINESS None. 10. AUTHORITY TO CHAIRMAN AND OFFICERS RESOLVED: That in an urgent situation between meetings the Chair, jointly with the relevant Chief Officer, has authority to act on behalf of the Committee. ______________________________________________________________________ The meeting ended at 1530 hours. 4 Page 6 of 106 Learning, Culture and Physical Activity Overview and Scrutiny Committee Councillor Jayne Francis Cabinet Member for Education, Skills and Culture Page 7 of 106 Portfolio overview .

  • 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.

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.

  • Marketing Plan Template
    Sutton Coldfield Arts and Recreation Trust – Business Plan notes – MARKETING The marketing plan is aimed at achieving income by the sale of tickets and the hiring of rooms. Main income streams Tickets 1. The sale of tickets to the general public for theatre shows 2. The sale of tickets to the general public for non-theatrical events Room hire 3. The hiring of the theatre for use by professional acts 4. The hiring of the theatre for use by amateur dramatic and orchestral societies, schools/clubs. 5. The hiring of the rooms by the public for weddings and civil ceremonies 6. The hiring of the rooms for non-theatrical public events (e.g. trade fairs) 7. The hiring of the rooms by companies and public for private events (e.g. company presentations, charity balls, parties). THEATRICAL Theatre (Vesey Suite) The Town Hall theatre is currently a receiving house, a theatre that produces no original work of its own and instead, hosts or ‘tours in’ other people’s productions, usually those of commercial production companies and amateur dramatics/music societies. The unique selling point is that Town Hall has no commercial theatre competitor in close proximity, is central to the town and to public transport and can provide a fully functioning 427 seat professionally working theatre for the local community. The competing theatres are listed below. From community research is it quite clear that the people of Sutton Coldfield would prefer to see theatre shows locally rather than travel to Birmingham City Centre or Staffordshire. This is especially the case for older residents and young families with children.

Derrick Elliss FCA: the project accountant, and my collaborator The University of Sheffield Julie Eaglen, Arts Council England West Midlands Dominic Shellard 2 Introduction Theatre in the United Kingdom is admired throughout the world for its quality and creativity. The excellence of its plays, actors and performances are unrivalled. This study of West Midlands theatre builds on the work of the Economic Impact Study of UK Theatre (Arts Council, 2004), which was the first national study of the contribution that theatre makes to the local and national economy. It established that the economic impact of UK theatre was £2.6bn: £1.5bn coming from London theatre and £1.1bn from regional theatre. The impact of regional theatre had previously been undervalued and this new study – of the economic impact of West Midlands theatre – further highlights the fact that regional theatre is economically as well as artistically vibrant.

  • BOA Alumni Christmas Newsletter
    BOA Alumni Christmas Newsletter Principal’s Message: “Wishing you and your friends and families a wonderful Christmas and all the best for 2019. Please keep in touch and spread the word about BOA! “ - John Reilly, Principal BOA held its third ‘Alumni Morning’ on the 21st of September, which was a huge success. The aim was to provide advice and guidance to our current Year 13 students. There were 6 of our alumni from across a range of pathways that were invited back for a question and answer session. The questions asked were focused mainly on progression routes and what our current stu- dents can expect when they are ready to leave. It was a great way for our alumni to talk about their own personal experiences and progression since parting from BOA. We feel as though this two hour session will benefit our current students when applying for their chosen progression routes, at the end of the school year. Following the event and its positive outcomes, we received some valuable feedback from the current students, that this session was extremely helpful and something that enlightened our cur- rent students. Our alumni morning will definitely be something we continue to do, as we love to keep in contact with our alumni and find it’s important for them to still be involved also. “Birmingham Ormiston Academy is like a big family, it’s a place we know we can come back to for help” Birmingham Ormiston Academy Christmas Term 2018 PAGE 2 "Make the most of your time at BOA, and take on every opportunity that you have offered to you” “Don’t be afraid to ask for support.
