  • Lead Miners' Heyday: the Great Days of Mining in Wirksworth
    Lead miners’ heyday: the great days of mining in Wirksworth and the Low Peak of Derbyshire by Ron Slack © Ronald Slack 2000 ISBN By the same author Brassington forebears: 1700-1900. 1984 Paupers Venture/Childrens Fortune: The lead mines and miners of Brassington, Derbyshire. 1986 Near to this place…Brassington church memorials 1674-. 1988 Lands and lead miners: a history of Brassington, in Derbyshire. 1991 Man at war: John Gell in his troubled time. 1997 1 Contents Foreword and acknowledgements Chapter 1 “The custome of the mine” Chapter 2 The industry, pre-war and pre-sough Chapter 3 Trouble and strife Chapter 4 Civil War and the lead trade Chapter 5 Mine soughs Chapter 6 After the soughs – ownership, production and trade Chapter 7 Rights and wrongs Chapter 8 Development and decline 2 Foreword For almost two thousand years, from the Roman occupation until the nineteenth century, there was an important lead industry in Wirksworth and its neighbourhood. The industry’s greatest period came in the late sixteenth century, after technical improvements and an expansion of the trade, and lasted until the late eighteenth century. This is an examination of the working of the industry and of developments during these two centuries. From the sixteenth century onwards there is a large body of written material arising from the way in which the industry was organised. This book is largely based on such documentary evidence preserved in the Derbyshire Record Office and the Derbyshire County Library, in particular the archive accumulated over several centuries by the Gell family of Hopton, now in the DRO, and the microfilm copy of the Wolley manuscripts in the Local Studies Library at Matlock.

  • Briefing on Sixth Form Provision
    Rep 680 Agenda item 7 Schools Forum – 10 th November 2016 School Sixth Forms - The 14-19 landscape and the diversification of School / College provision 1. Purpose To inform Schools Forum of the challenges faced by School Sixth Forms following changes in Government policy and funding, including the growth of University Technical Colleges (UTCs), Studio Schools, Free Schools and Technical Academies. 2. Policy background The school system has changed significantly over the last five years, with changes to Government funding of Post-16 education in particular being a considerable challenge. Not all the change is recent; Academies, UTCs and Studio Schools for instance were all around in various stages of development prior to 2010. The current school sector, however, is designed to give parents greater choice and schools greater freedom. Currently there exists: • Over 2,000 Academies now open in England • 291 Free Schools now open and 141 in the pipeline – DfE target 500 by 2020 • 34 Studio Schools now open with one in the pipeline • 45 UTCs open. In addition, since September 2013, GFE has been able to offer full time provision to 14-16yrs olds which adds more competition into the education system. 3. Definitions for these new types of organisations • Academies – Primary and Secondary Schools who are no longer part of the Local Authority are directly funded by the EFA and have additional responsibilities. • University Technical Colleges – Offering provision to students aged 14-19yrs, specialising in technical / vocational studies. Provision is full time, combining practical and academic studies which are delivered in work related context. A UTC has a maximum of 600 students.

  • 2019-11 Schools Block Funding
    Agenda Item 3 Rep 786 DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL SCHOOLS FORUM 26th November 2019 Report of the Executive Director for Children’s Services School Block Funding 2020-21 1. Purpose of the Report To inform the Schools Forum of the provisional schools block settlement for 2020-21 and potential implications for Derbyshire. 2. Information and Analysis As part of the government’s Spending Round 2019, the Chancellor of the Exchequer confirmed to Parliament that funding for schools and high needs will, compared to 2019- 20, rise by £2.6 billion for 2020-21, £4.8 billion for 2021-22, and £7.1 billion for 2022-23. On 11th October 2019 the DfE released provisional DSG funding levels for 2020-21 for each LA. Final allocations will be published in December to reflect the October 2019 pupil census. This paper focusses on the schools block, papers for the other blocks are covered elsewhere on tonight’s agenda. 2.1 Schools Block increase The government have announced the mainstream National Funding Formula (NFF) multipliers for 2020-21. Details of the current and new values are shown in Appendix 1. These increased multipliers feed directly into the calculation of the 2020-21 Schools Block budgets for each LA. By way of background, the provisional LA-level Schools Block for each sector is derived as a unit rate (Primary/Secondary Unit of Funding (PUF/SUF)) multiplied by the October 2018 pupil census. The PUF/SUF values have been derived by calculating schools’ NFF budgets for 2019-20, summing the individual amounts and dividing the aggregate total by the October 2018 pupil count.
