  • Powys Secondary and Post-16 Education Modernisation
    Powys Secondary and Post-16 Education Modernisation Strategic Outline Programme - A Discussion Document June 2010 Page 1 of 39 Preface by Councillor David Jones, Portfolio Holder for Schools The main priority for Powys County Council is to improve standards and widen learning opportunities for our children and young people. In an environment of rapid economic change and increasing economic pressures, the sustainability of the current secondary and post-16 provision in Powys is under pressure. Given the numerous demands upon the education system, falling rolls, the need to expand and increase the range of subjects, and the need to invest and improve the quality of school buildings, it is imperative that Powys Education Authority considers the future provision of education in the county. This document provides a basis for extensive discussion about the shape of education delivery in the future. It includes information about the issues facing the sector and a range of possible options for consideration. The Authority wants to build on the excellent teaching and learning that takes place daily in our schools. We are committed to ensuring the successful implementation of the School Effectiveness Framework which aims to improve learning outcomes and the well- being of all children and young people. This will be done through a collaborative understanding between schools, Local Authorities and the Welsh Assembly Government. Within the School Effectiveness Framework, we want to work with schools to help extend the curriculum options for 14 – 19 year olds, linked to the Welsh Assembly Government’s 14 – 19 Learning Pathways initiative. This will enable every learner to access a wide range of subjects, both academic and vocational, as well as providing a full package of support and advice.

  • Executive Board REPORT NO: HHPPE/51/14 DATE
    AGENDA ITEM NO. 9 REPORT TO: Executive Board REPORT NO: HHPPE/51/14 DATE: 10 June 2014 LEAD MEMBER: Councillor Michael Williams (Children’s Services and Education) Lead Member (Environment) CONTACT OFFICER: Darren Williams (Tel: 729629) SUBJECT: Post 16 Education Transport Policy WARD: All 1. PURPOSE OF THE REPORT To seek Elected Members’ approval to carry out a consultation exercise regarding revisions to the Council’s policy for travel arrangements for learners in Post-16 education or training. 2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2.1 This report outlines the current situation with regards to Post-16 education transport and the implications of our current policy. 2.2 Post-16 education transport is discretionary as there is no statutory requirement for local Councils to provide or organise this. However, the Learner Travel Wales measure obliges Authorities to assess the travel needs of those up to the age of 19. Historically, too many young people in Wrexham have left education at age 16 and not progressed to further education, employment or training. The Council has worked very hard with partner agencies to reduce the number of young people Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) over recent years with some considerable success, as recognised nationally by Estyn and Welsh Government. Care must be taken to ensure that changes to the transport arrangements for Post-16 learners does not have a detrimental effect on this situation. 2.3 Wrexham County Borough Council currently spends £370,764 annually on transport for Post-16 learners. This includes transport to Coleg Cambria Yale Campus, which the Council traditionally has supported, as well as transport to a range of other institutions outside of the County, including Coleg Cambria Deeside Campus and their Llysfasi campus near Ruthin.

FOI Request What steps are being taken to rectify the problems faced by people with hearing loss in Mid Wales Powys Response Lip-reading This plays a vital role in helping an individual to adapt to living with hearing loss. It provides a vital link back to the outside world and helps those with hearing loss maintain confidence and independence. The ability to lip-read helps prevent family and social isolation and often enables those with hearing loss to carry on working. Across the UK there is currently a massive shortfall in the number of classes available and the number of lip-reading tutors. Work is already underway in Wales to try and improve this situation. Thanks to £202,000 Welsh Government funding, and in conjunction with Wales Council for Deaf People, North Wales Deaf Association and Action on Hearing Loss Cymru, 7 new tutors from across Wales have just completed a year long training course
