  • 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.

    PB 86370 RA Cover:4pp 22/6/10 16:58 Page 1 Transferring to a secondary school Raising Achievement Good Practice in Secondary Schools with Outstanding Leadership St Martin-In-The-Fields High School Stockwell Park High School La Retraite RC School Dunraven School Feyisa Demie Kirstin Lewis Foreword I am pleased to introduce this research “Raising Achievement: Good Practice in Secondary Schools with Outstanding Leadership” in the London Borough of Lambeth. These four schools have worked hard to raise the achievement of all pupils in their schools and have been recognised as providing an outstanding education. This research focuses on the successful strategies that these schools have used to raise achievement. In Lambeth there is a continuing picture of improving schools. The case study schools studied in this report defy the association of poverty and low outcomes and they enable such young people to succeed against the odds. The attainment of all pupils has been exceptionally high. • About 82% of the pupils in the case study schools achieve 5+ A*-C. • The improvement rate of pupils in the case study schools is also impressive. • Between 2000 and 2009 pupils in all case study schools improved from 33 % to 82% 5+ A*-C . This is an improvement rate of 49% compared to 21% at national level. • In one case study school GCSE results improved from 11% in 2000 to 73% 5+A*-C in 2009. This is despite the fact that 72% of the pupils were on free school meals which is used as proxy for levels of disadvantage. In another school GCSE improved from 56% to 93% 5+A*-C between the same period.

  • 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.

  • Raising of the Participation Age (RPA) and Post 16 Provision in Lambeth
    b Children and Young People’s Service Scrutiny Sub-Committee 14 March 2013 Raising of the Participation Age (RPA) and Post 16 Provision in Lambeth All Wards Joint Report authorised by : Executive Director of Children and Young People’s Service: Debbie Jones and Executive Director of Housing, Regeneration and Environment: Sue Foster Executive summary o This national context for this paper is the new requirement for young people to remain in learning until 17 (by 2013) and 18 (by 2015). o The describes the nature of Lambeth’s 16 – 19 cohort, as well as the services in place, and under development aimed at meeting the needs of young people in this age group. o Lambeth is home to more unemployed people than any other London Borough. With over 30,000 jobs potentially being created in the borough in the next 15 years, it is crucial that the Council develops the infrastructure for residents to access, not only these, but also opportunities in the rest of London. Young people need to be ready for these new opportunities in an evolving London economy. This will require a strong pre-employment offer from school onwards based on forecast growth sectors to enable them to access local learning, training and vocational opportunities. o Ensuring that there is effective support and provision to enable young people to progress to appropriate learning and vocational destinations is a whole council responsibility. o For this reason, this report has been prepared collaboratively by officers from CYPS and HRE so that the nature and potential needs of young people remaining in learning can be considered in the context of the major inward investment and growth in jobs that will happen over the next 15 years and beyond.
