It has experienced rapid population growth, increasing by over 50,000 in the last 10 years up until 2015. There are five key town centers: Brixton, Clapham and Stockwell, North Lambeth (Waterloo, Vauxhall, Kennington), and Norwood and Streatham. Lambeth is the 5th most deprived Borough in London. One in five of the borough’s residents work in jobs that pay below the London Living Wage. This is reflected by the fact that nearly one in four (24%) young people live in families who receive tax credits. Major regeneration developments and improvements are underway for Waterloo and Vauxhall and the Nine Elms Regeneration project which will drive the transformation of these areas. Lambeth College has three main campuses in the borough, based in Clapham, Brixton and Vauxhall. Approximately a quarter of the student cohort in any given academic year are 16‐18 learners. In addition to this, there is also a significantly growing proportion of 16-18 learners on Apprenticeship programmes, moderate numbers on workplace‐training provision for employers and school link programmes which are offered to relatively smaller learner volumes.

  • Open Letter to Address Systemic Racism in Further Education
    BLACK FURTHER EDUCATION LEADERSHIP GROUP 5th August 2020 Open letter to address systemic racism in further education Open letter to: Rt. Hon. Boris Johnson, Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Gavin Williamson MP, Secretary of State for Education, funders of further education colleges; regulatory bodies & further education membership bodies. We, the undersigned, are a group of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) senior leaders, and allies, who work or have an interest in the UK further education (FE) sector. The recent #BlackLivesMatter (#BLM) global protest following the brutal murder of George Floyd compels us all to revisit how we address the pervasive racism that continues to taint and damage our society. The openness, solidarity and resolve stirred by #BLM is unprecedented and starkly exposes the lack of progress made in race equality since ‘The Stephen Lawrence Enquiry’. Against a background of raised concerns about neglect in healthcare, impunity of policing, cruelty of immigration systems – and in education, the erasure of history, it is only right for us to assess how we are performing in FE. Only by doing so, can we collectively address the barriers that our students, staff and communities face. The personal, economic and social costs of racial inequality are just too great to ignore. At a time of elevated advocacy for FE, failure to recognise the insidious nature of racism undermines the sector’s ability to fully engage with all its constituent communities. The supporting data and our lived experiences present an uncomfortable truth, that too many BAME students and staff have for far too long encountered a hostile environment and a system that places a ‘knee on our neck’.

  • Improving Pathways to Employment in Loughborough Junction
    Improving pathways to employment in Loughborough Junction This report is a summary of interviews, focus groups, and surveys of stakeholders and residents of Loughborough Junction carried out by the Young Foundation between March and October 2012 with funding from JPMorgan. Tricia Hackett Lucia Caistor-Arendar Mandeep Hothi October 2012 Acknowledgements We are grateful for the collaboration of our partners including Kings College Hospital, Lambeth College, London Borough of Lambeth, Helen Casey at the Institute of Education, the Loughborough Federation of Primary Schools, and support from the London Community Foundation and funding provided by JPMorgan. Sections • Background • Executive Summary • Research aims and methods • Key findings • Asset map of local education, skills and training provision • Views from residents and local stakeholders • Service Design Workshop: Four Ideas • Outcomes • Appendix 2 Background In early 2012, the Young Foundation was commissioned to conduct a feasibility study for the creation of a School of New Resources (SNR) - inspired by a New York City based community-education programme - in partnership with Kings College Hospital, Helen Casey at the Institute of Education, and the Loughborough Federation of Primary Schools. The Young Foundation expanded the partnership to include the London Borough of Lambeth and had support from the London Community Foundation. The idea for a School of New Resources for Loughborough Junction was the inspiration of Richard Chambers who was then Principal of Lambeth College. Mr Chambers retired soon after the project was commissioned and because of this and other significant changes at the college they were unable engage as a key partner as was originally envisaged. The theory of change for the School of New Resources was local residents having a stake in the economy and participating in civil society through improved educational attainment, employment, and volunteering rates of local residents, particularly those who are the most excluded.
