Director's 2017-2018 Strategic Report Director’s 2017-2018 Strategic Report Annual Report to Shareholders Learn Sheffield AGM @SheffGovernance Improvement through partnerships Director’s 2017-2018Monday Strategic 18th Report February | 1 2019 This Annual Report to Shareholders is the third one produced by Learn Sheffield, coming at the end of the third year since incorporation on the 14th August 2015. This period has included the final year of our initial three-year commission from Sheffield City Council in relation to school improvement, a peer review of Learn Sheffield and the development of a new funding model. This report provides an overview of performance in this reporting period in relation to board effectiveness, key developments, school improvement commission outcomes and financial outcomes. It has been prepared by the Chair of the Board, Mike Allen, and the Chief Executive, Stephen Betts. It should be read in conjunction with the financial statement and other papers for the Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 27th February 2019. Further information about Learn Sheffield can be found at www.learnsheffield.co.uk. Chair’s Message This is our third Annual Report to Shareholders and I am delighted to be able to report on the continued progress of Learn Sheffield. This year has been marked by the growing maturity of the company and its partnerships with schools and Sheffield City Council. These partnerships are crucial to the long term financial future of the Learn Sheffield, which in turn is central to the organisation having the impact that we all recognise it is capable of having on improved education in the city, and better life chances for our children and young people. At board level we have strengthened our capacity with the addition of new members following the changes that were agreed at the last AGM. I would like to thank all of my colleagues on the Board, including the new Directors, for their commitment and contribution to Learn Sheffield. Following the ratification of appointments at this year’s AGM will have one remaining co-opted Director role to recruit to and we intend to do this before the end of the current school year. We will be seeking a colleague with financial expertise to further strengthen our capacity. It has, despite the challenges that we have faced, been a successful year for Learn Sheffield. The success of the subscription model is extremely important and is testament to both the hard work of colleagues within Learn Sheffield and the high level of collaboration within the city. The validation of the peer review was also a timely reminder of both how special the work that is happening in Sheffield is and the challenges that are ahead in capitalising on what we have already achieved. These are exciting times for the city and I would like to thank everyone for their support. Mike Allen Chair - Learn Sheffield Board 2 | Director’s 2017-2018 Strategic Report Chief Executive’s Overview Welcome to our Director’s Strategic Report for 2017-18, which is our third annual report to shareholders. It has been, as it was always likely to be, a cross-roads year in the development of Learn Sheffield and I hope that this document, alongside the audited accounts, provides a good basis on which to judge our performance. 2017-18 was the final year of our initial three-year school improvement commission from Sheffield City Council and the challenge of developing a new model, including a school subscription, occupied a lot of our energies. We are delighted by the level of engagement that we managed to secure from our members but this was certainly a significant test, not least financially, for a small and growing company to manage. Learn Sheffield also volunteered to be the recipient of the first peer review held by our colleagues at the newly formed Association of Education Partnerships, of which we are a founder member. The review was led, as described elsewhere in this report, by Christine Gilbert and was a highly positive experience! The timing of this was also excellent, capturing those things that we are doing well and those things which we will need to do better in the months and years ahead at a moment when so much was about to change in our model. We remain proud of our achievements to date and retain our passionate belief that the future success of our city can only be delivered through a partnership approach that effectively supports our schools and academies to continue to thrive and develop. As our new strapline says: Learn Sheffield. By Sheffield. For Sheffield. In collaboration. On a personal note, and on behalf of Learn Sheffield, I would like to thank you all for your continued support and engagement. Stephen Betts Chief Executive Director’s 2017-2018 Strategic Report | 3 Board Effectiveness The substantive Learn Sheffield Board was elected and confirmed at the AGM/EGM in December 2016. The Interim Board, which resigned on 6 December 2016, led the company through to the end of its first year, enabling it to take responsibility for the first accounting period and the recruitment of the substantive Chief Executive. Our last report in February 2018 noted that the board had created a Finance and Audit Committee, which reports to the full board on matters of finance and risk management. Mike Allen had become the Chair of the Board to replace Darren Tidmarsh who had left the board due to no longer being employed by a member institution. It also noted that Anthony Hughes joined the Board in February 2017 as a co-opted Director and Councillor Andy Bainbridge joined the Board in September 2017, to fill the seat nominated by Sheffield City Council. In the past year the significant board developments have included the following: • Darren Tidmarsh was re-appointed as a (third) co-opted Director on 17 May 2018 (following changes to the Articles passed at the EGM in April 2018). Darren Tidmarsh is now Deputy Director of HR and Organisational Development at United Lincolnshire Hospitals’ Trust. • Andrew Hartley, Commercial Director, The Sheffield College was appointed as the FE Sector Director on 22 March 2018. • James Henderson, Director of Policy, Performance and Communications was appointed at Sheffield Local Authority’s second nominated Director on 7 September 2018. • Mike Westerdale, Chief Executive Officer, Brigantia Trust will be formally appointed as the second Secondary Schools’ Director at the AGM. Attendance at the Board and Committee meetings remains good with overall attendance of 85% (138 attendances out of a possible 163 meetings between December 2016 and January 2019). No individual Director has attended less than two thirds of the meetings they are eligible to attend. The Board also held its first full day Away‘ Day’ last September as part of the schedule of meetings. The attendance, effectiveness and contribution at meetings of the directors are kept under review by the chair. Directors agree that the Board is effective in fulfilling its strategic duties and the reports and presentations provided by the executive are of good quality, enabling the Board to carry out its functions efficiently. More information about the Learn Sheffield Board can be found below and online at www.learnsheffield.co.uk/About-Us/The-Board 4 | Director’s 2017-2018 Strategic Report Mike Allen (Chair of the Board – Co-opted Director) Mike was appointed as one of the three non-executive Directors of the Board on 1 February 2017 having served previously on the interim Board since November 2015 as a co-opted Director. Mike has been a school Governor in Sheffield since 2000 and is currently Chair of the Governing Body at Pipworth and also Chairs the recently formed Sheffield South East Trust. He is Chair of the Sheffield Association of School Governing Boards; is a local leader of governance and serves on the Schools’ Forum. Councillor Andy Bainbridge (Sheffield City Council nominated) Andy was appointed as the Director nominated by Sheffield City Council on the 18th September 2017. He has been the Councillor for East Ecclesfield since May 2016 and his current term of office runs until May 2020. In addition to being a member of the full Council, Andy also serves on the Licensing Committee, the Children, Young People and Family Support Scrutiny and Policy Development Board and the Corporate Parenting Board. His interest in the Learn Sheffield role was partly informed by previously working in education across a number of different stages of education. Stephen Betts (Chief Executive) Stephen was appointed as the Interim Chief Executive of Learn Sheffield in late summer 2015, having previously chaired the working group that determined the approach that Sheffield would take to school improvement. Following a competitive recruitment process, he was appointed to the substantive Chief Executive role in May 2016. Before becoming involved with Learn Sheffield, Stephen was the Headteacher of Malin Bridge Primary School and had worked for 17 years in the primary sector. His previous schools were Ecclesfield Primary and Nook Lane Junior School. Chris French (Secondary School sector nominated) Chris is currently Chief Executive Officer of the Mercia Learning Trust in South West Sheffield. It is a 2-18+ local academy trust comprising three primary and three secondary schools. He is one of the two Secondary School Directors on the Board of Learn Sheffield, which he joined in December 2016. Previously Chris was Executive Principal of Brigantia Learning Trust in NE Sheffield. He is a member of Schools Forum and has a strong commitment to partnership working which drives sector-led improvement. Andrew Hartley (FE sector nominated) Andrew was appointed to the Board as the FE Sector Director in March 2018.

  • Stephen Mallinder. “Sheffield Is Not Sexy.”
    Nebula 4.3 , September 2007 Sheffield is not Sexy. By Stephen Mallinder Abstract The city of Sheffield’s attempts, during the early 1980s, at promoting economic regeneration through popular cultural production were unconsciously suggestive of later creative industries strategies. Post-work economic policies, which became significant to the Blair government a decade later, were evident in urban centres such as Manchester, Liverpool and Sheffield in nascent form. The specificity of Sheffield’s socio-economic configuration gave context, not merely to its industrial narrative but also to the city’s auditory culture, which was to frame well intended though subsequently flawed strategies for regeneration. Unlike other cities, most notably Manchester, the city’s mono-cultural characteristics failed to provide an effective entrepreneurial infrastructure on which to build immediate economic response to economic rationalisation and regional decline. Top-down municipal policies, which embraced the city’s popular music, gave centrality to cultural production in response to a deflated regional economy unable, at the time, to sustain rejuvenation through cultural consumption. Such embryonic strategies would subsequently become formalised though creative industry policies developing relationships with local economies as opposed to urban engineering through regional government. Building upon the readings of industrial cities such as Liverpool, New Orleans and Chicago, the post-work leisure economy has increasingly addressed the significance of the auditory effect in cities such as Manchester and Sheffield. However the failure of the talismanic National Centre for Popular Music signifies the inherent problems of institutionalizing popular cultural forms and resistance of sound to be anchored and contained. The city’s sonic narrative became contained in its distinctive patterns of cultural production and consumption that ultimately resisted attempts at compartmentalization and representation through what became colloquially known as ‘the museum of popular music’.

  • Overcoming the Dichotomy of Implementing Societal Flood Risk Management While Conserving Instream Fish Habitat – a Long-Term Study from a Highly Modified Urban River
    Overcoming the dichotomy of implementing societal flood risk management while conserving instream fish habitat – a long-term study from a highly modified urban river Angelopoulos N. V.¹*, Harvey J. P.¹, Bolland J. D.¹, Nunn A. D.¹, Noble R. A. A.¹, Smith M. A.¹, Taylor M. J.¹, Masters J. E. G². & Moxon J.² & Cowx I.

This manuscript version is made available under the CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ 1 Abstract Flood Risk Management (FRM) is often essential to reduce the risk of flooding to properties and infrastructure in urban landscapes, but typically degrades the habitats required by many aquatic animals for foraging, refuge and reproduction. This conflict between flood risk management and biodiversity is driven by conflicting directives, such as the EU Floods and Water Framework Directives, and has led to a requirement for synergistic solutions for FRM that integrate river restoration actions. Unfortunately, ecological monitoring and appraisal of combined FRM and river restoration works is inadequate. This paper uses a case study from the River Don in Northern England to evaluate the effects of the FRM and subsequent river restoration works on instream habitat and the associated fish assemblage over an 8-year period. Flood risk management created a homogeneous channel but did not negatively affect fish species composition or densities, specifically brown trout.
