National Learner Survey Wave 3 2020-21: Initial Report of COVID-19 Related Questions from the Lincolnshire Dataset National Learner Survey Wave 3 2020-21: Initial report of COVID-19 related questions from the Lincolnshire dataset Lucy Mallinson and Dr Anthea Rose Lincoln Higher Education Research Institute (LHERI) Report This short report provides an insight into the impact of COVID-19 on learners across Lincolnshire in the context of school closures and the challenges they experienced in continuing their learning from home. The data are drawn from the annual learner survey that forms part of the national impact evaluation of Uni Connect. Key findings • Over half of all students that responded to the survey said that COVID-19 had not influenced their decision about what to do when they finish their current studies. However, 26% said that it had affected their decision either to some extent or a great deal and a further 17% were not sure. • With regards to applying to HE at aged 18 or 19, two thirds were just as likely, or more likely, to apply now as they were before COVID-19. However, almost 30% were not sure. Despite this, COVID-related reasons for both wanting to go, and not going on to HE, were low down the list. This requires further investigation and could be explored during the focus groups planned for the Summer term. • UC students were more likely to have stayed in school or college or a combination during the first lockdown in March to July 2020 than Non-UC students. This is probably because UC students are more likely to be classed as vulnerable and therefore entitled to be in school some or all of the time. • Over two thirds of students reported experiencing one or more difficulties learning from home. The biggest barrier was limited contact with tutors and/or subject teachers, with 36% of all students reporting this as an issue. • A quarter of all students lacked a quiet place to study, another quarter had caring responsibilities for other family members and 11% did not have a computer to use for school or college work. • Within gender, male students were less likely to experience difficulties studying at home than others (female students, other and prefer not to say). • Students in Years 11 and 13 (who would have been in Years 10 and 12 during the school closures) were more likely than other year groups to experience barriers to learning from home. This issue, particularly with regards to the then Year 10 students, was highlighted by Area Engagement Officers and teachers at case study schools during evaluation interviews Summer 2020 and reported in the Evaluation End of Year One report (October 2020). 1 | P a g e • Gender was associated with six out of seven of the barriers listed, the exception being lack of computer. Female students were 1.5 times more likely than male students to report that being asked to help with other family members, such as younger siblings, made it more difficult to continue learning from home. • UC learners were 1.4 times more likely than their Non-UC counterparts not to have a computer to use for school or college work. • Across all younger learners in Years 9 to 11, 12% did not have a computer for school or college work. However, analysis at a school level showed that for three schools and one college the proportion was over 25%. • The level of contact students had with their tutor and/or subject teachers varied between schools. This is a subjective measure and depends on students’ expectations. Across all Years 9 to 11, 34% of students reported this as an issue, however at six schools the proportion was between 40-48%. Across all students in Years 12 and 13 the proportion was 44%, rising to 50-59% for four schools. 2 | P a g e 1. Introduction A major part of the Uni Connect National Evaluation, run by CFE Research on behalf of Office for Students (OfS), is the learner survey capturing students’ Higher Education (HE) knowledge and aspirations. The survey has been carried out in the Autumn term (between October and December) each year since the baseline survey in 2017. Decisions about Wave 3 of the survey, due to be carried out Autumn 2020, were made by OfS in the Summer of 2020 in consultation with all participating Uni Connect partnerships. Under consideration was: whether to run the survey at all due to the current pandemic; if so whether to provide schools with a longer participation period to maximise the number of responses; and what, if any, COVID-19 related questions should be included. The decision was made to launch the survey in Autumn 2020 as in previous years, but to extend the closing date to the 31 March 2021 and to include six questions exploring the impact of COVID-19 on learners. These questions asked where students studied during the first school lockdown in March to July 2020, what circumstances, if any, made it more difficult to continue learning at home and whether COVID-19 had affected their intentions of applying to HE. The revised Wave 3 survey opened for participation at the beginning of November 2020. Schools in Lincolnshire were invited to participate and at the end of March 2021, after data cleaning, a total of 3,866 responses were collected, of which 771 (20%) were from Uni Connect learners. This represents a slightly higher proportion than the actual level of Lincolnshire’s Uni Connect learners (17%). As expected, the total responses received were less than in previous years; A total of 10,900 responses were collected in Lincolnshire during Wave 2 (2019) and 9,800 during Wave 1 (2018). The report presented here is based on an initial analysis of the six questions relating to the impact of COVID-19 (as outlined above) on participating students from schools in Lincolnshire, and on responses from all students that responded to the survey. Some demographic comparisons have been made and areas of interest are highlighted. Differences, where they exist, at a school level have also been flagged. All statistical analysis was carried out in SPSS, and a p value of less than 0.05 was the criterion for statistical significance. 3 | P a g e 2. Data cleaning process Data cleaning was carried out to remove all duplicate and incomplete responses, the process is detailed in the panel below. Data cleaning process: 1. Check all entries included participant consent – removal of those that did not 2. Removal of incomplete entries (criterion for complete: 75% of key predetermined questions) 3. Removal of duplicate responses: earliest most complete entry kept 3. Demographic background Overall, 3,866 responses were collected, the breakdown by year group and Uni Connect (UC) and non-Uni Connect (Non-UC) learners is shown in Table 1. For the purpose of this report college year groups, i.e. Level 2, Level 3 Years 1 and 2 are referred to by school year equivalent within the text, i.e. Years 11, 12 and 13 respectively. The proportion of UC learners from Years 10 and 11 responding to the survey was slightly higher than other year groups. An explanation for this is that a targeted approach for UC learners was taken by CFE Research: UC learners that had responded in previous Waves of the survey were sent an email with an invitation to participate using a unique survey link. However, whilst this increased the proportion in these year groups it does not entirely explain the difference. Table 1: Total number of participants by year group and by UC/Non-UC learners Total number of UC and Non-UC (% within year group) Year Group responses (%) UC Non-UC Year 9 1108 (28.7%) 181 (16.3%) 927 (83.7%) Year 10 1049 (27.1%) 239 (22.8%) 810 (77.2%) Year 11/Level 2 809 (20.9%) 204 (25.2%) 605 (74.9%) Year 12/Level 3 Yr1 516 (13.3%) 85 (16.5%) 431 (83.5%) Year 13/Level 3 Yr2 384 (9.9%) 62 (16.1%) 322 (83.9%) Total 3870 (100%) 771 (19.9%) 3,095 (80.1%) Demographic characteristics (gender, ethnicity, English as main language, self- reported disability, and first in family to attend HE) are summarised in Table 2.

  • Alternative Provision Arrangements.Pdf
    Agenda Item 11 Regulatory and Other Committee Open report on behalf of Debbie Barnes, Executive Director of Children's Services Report to: Schools Forum Date: 4th October 2017 Subject: Alternative Provision Arrangements Summary: The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of Lincolnshire's current and future Alternative Provision arrangements. Recommendation(s): The Schools Forum is asked to note the content of the report. Background 1. Context and Background Information Alternative provision is commonly defined as education outside school, arranged by local authorities or schools themselves. It can be something in which a young person participates as part of their regular timetable, away from the school site or the pupil referral unit (in Lincolnshire, Springwell Lincoln Academy) and not led by school staff. Schools are encouraged to use such provision to try to prevent exclusions, or to re-engage pupils in their education. Many secondary schools in Lincolnshire use AP in this way, dual registering pupils for behavioural intervention or to follow vocational pathways. Centres include Acorn Free School (Lincoln), Bridge House (Boston), First Steps (Boston), Build a Future (West Ashby), Good Apple (Gainsborough), Hill Holt (Norton Disney), and in N. Lincs, Fluent Coaching (Brigg). The current Ofsted Handbook requires inspectors to "find out how (AP) is monitored and evaluated, both day to day and over time. An inspector should visit the unit briefly to assess safeguarding procedures, the quality of teaching and how effectively the unit helps to improve pupils' behaviour, learning and attendance. The visit should be proportionate to the number of pupils who attend and the length of time they spend there…..Inspectors should give priority to visiting unregistered providers." Page 63 To support and guide those inclusive schools that commission AP to avoid exclusion and re-engage disaffected pupils, LCC has published 'Alternative Provision Guidance for Commissioners', downloadable from www.lincolnshirechildren.net within the Inclusive Lincolnshire microsite.

    De Aston School Willingham Road Market Rasen Lincs LN8 3RF Academy Trust Tel 01673 843415 Fax 01673 840823 Email: [email protected] Company No 07533362 England & Wales Founded 1863 July 2017 Dear Parents and Carers It is with great pride that I write to you as Headteacher of De Aston School. It has been a privilege to work here since 1999 and it is even more of an honour to lead the school into an exciting future. Since taking over in January, there have been many changes to improve the school even further. You will be aware that we had an Ofsted inspection earlier this year. The inspection team confirmed that De Aston is a GOOD school and has some outstanding features. We have already been working on lots of initiatives to improve what we do. Return to One Hour Lessons From September, we will return to a model of five one hour lessons per day. This has been done to improve the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom. The start and end of the school day remain exactly the same. There is a slightly later lunchtime, starting at 1.35pm, similar to how it was a few years ago but the learners will still get an extended break in the late morning, when they can also eat, as has always been the way at De Aston. Standards I am a headteacher that is committed to standards of good behaviour, good attendance and a smart uniform. These are the building blocks for our learners being ready to learn.
