This is in keeping with George Birkbeck’s vision when he created Birkbeck College to serve the educational needs of working people. We have always encouraged applications from students without traditional qualifications. If higher education is to appeal to the changing educational, cultural, personal and career needs of adults, it needs to become more flexible and accessible without losing academic excellence. Students with vocational qualifications often have the skills to succeed at university, but the opportunities to progress have been denied to them. A university education can change lives; it creates more choice, builds confidence, helps people reach their full potential and can lead to bigger salaries. Linking London is doing excellent work to ensure that students with vocational qualifications have the chance to access all the advantages that a university education offers.” Professor David Latchman, Master, Birkbeck, University of London 02 Linking London 2006/2009 Linking London 2006/2009 03 04 Linking London 2006/2009 3 Years since Linking London was established 25 New courses developed 35 Partners in the Linking London Network 47 Development Projects funded 56 Progression Agreements signed, many more under development 69 Percent of FECs have signed one or more Progression Agreement with partner organisations 91 Different signatories on our Progression Agreements Linking London Key Numbers 109 Staff Development events held 400 Fulltime Additional Student Numbers (ASNs) funded 560 Learners funded through ASN funding 1,110 Learners per year expected to benefit from Progression Agreements brokered by Linking London 1,300 Contacts on Linking London’s dynamic database 1,710 Staff have attended a Linking London event 25,000 Visits to the Information, Advice and Guidance section of www.linkinglondon.ac.uk 50,000 Pounds of widening participation money distributed 65,000 Pounds of Capital Investment Funding distributed 90,000 Visits to www.linkinglondon.ac.uk 575,000 Pounds of Development Funds allocated 1,300,000 Pounds of ASN funding distributed Linking London 2006/2009 05 This Document “In FE and HE it’s important we are supported by an organisation dedicated to pure progression… We’ve got so much else to deal with, it is very difficult to do the progression work without a middleperson like Linking London…They are instrumental and if they go there will be a gap…It will be harder for FE to work with HE on the level we’ve been working at.” Taken from Formative Evaluation Report, Linking London Lifelong Learning Network May 2009, ECOTEC All quotes throughout this document are from this source.

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’.

  • London Borough of Lambeth
    LONDON BOROUGH OF LAMBETH LAMBETH ARCHIVES DEPARTMENT Reference number IV/224 Title Morley College Covering dates 1888-2013 Physical extent 29 boxes & 2 volumes Creator Morley College Administrative history Morley College originated in the work of the Coffee Music Halls Company Ltd. who promoted temperance and the arts in London. The college was established by Emma Cons, a visionary and social reformer who fought to improve standards of London’s Waterloo district. In 1880, Cons, with the support of the Coffee Music Halls Company Ltd. leased what is now known as the ‘Old Vic’ theatre and created the Royal Victoria Coffee and Music Hall. In 1882 the hall began to host weekly lectures in which eminent scientists would address the public on a wide range of topics. The success of these lectures led to the establishment of Morley Memorial College for working men and women, named after Samuel Morley, a textile manufacturer, MP and philanthropist who contributed to Morley College. In the 1920s the college moved to Westminster Bridge Road where it remains today although it has since expanded and now includes Morley Gallery and Arts Studio and the Nancy Seear Building. The college has attracted eminent staff including composer Gustav Holst, Director of Music 1907- 1924, a post later filled by Sir Michael Kemp Tippet, 1940-1951. Other high profile personalities associated with the college include composer Ralph Vaughn Williams, writer Virginia Woolf and artist David Hockney.

  • 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.

    Further Education and Skills inspection report Date published: 30 March 2015 Inspection Number: 440233 URN: 130415 Lewisham Southwark College General further education college Inspection dates 2–6 February 2015 This inspection: Inadequate-4 Overall effectiveness Previous inspection: Inadequate-4 Outcomes for learners Inadequate-4 Quality of teaching, learning and assessment Inadequate-4 Effectiveness of leadership and management Inadequate-4 Summary of key findings for learners This provider is inadequate because: . governors, senior leaders and college staff have not made enough progress in improving key weaknesses identified at the previous inspection, including the poor provision in both English and mathematics . teaching, learning and assessment are improving too slowly, and too few learners experience good teaching . learners’ attendance and punctuality are poor . since the creation of the college in 2012, leaders and governors have failed to raise standards and expectations of both teachers and learners . the college’s curriculum does not currently meet the skills needs of local employers, and progress to resolve this weakness has been far too slow . the college’s precarious financial position has left the college with limited resources to improve provision swiftly. This provider has the following strengths: . good pastoral support, especially for the most vulnerable learners . good provision in drama and dance, and in hospitality and catering . good safeguarding of learners; the college provides a welcoming and safe community for its diverse body of learners. Inspection report: Lewisham Southwark College, 2–6 February 2015 2 of 16 Full report What does the provider need to do to improve further? . Urgently tackle the weaknesses identified in both the English and mathematics provision so that all learners have the opportunity to progress to, and succeed in, higher levels of qualification in these subjects.
