LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.

Burnley College Access and Participation Plan
Burnley College Access and participation plan 2020-21 to 2024-25 Burnley College is a long-established Further Education College in the heart of East Lancashire. It is committed to strategies for widening access to Higher Education as well as ensuring student success which in turn improves the progression opportunities for all of our students. The College’s stated purpose is to ‘build futures and change lives’ (Burnley College Strategic Plan 2017-20) and this is supported by seven strategic objectives, including to ‘significantly expand the range of local opportunities for University-level study whilst maintaining high standards’ and ‘to maintain outstanding equality of opportunity’. The College provides access to level four education and above in an area of significant deprivation with historically low levels of participation in Higher Education. Burnley College serves a community that experiences significant levels of deprivation with Burnley itself being amongst one of the most deprived areas in the country. The most recent Government index of Deprivation (September 2015) places Burnley as the ninth most deprived area out of 354 local authorities in England and the comparative position has deteriorated since the previous index in 2010. The domains of deprivation cover income, employment, education, crime, health, barriers to housing services and living environment with the 2015 Index of Deprivation evidencing that Burnley has “proportionality more neighbourhoods ranked as highly deprived on six or all seven domains”. Pennine Lancashire is an area of low educational attainment and overall standards of achievement in Burnley remain below the Lancashire and national averages, and the gap with Lancashire increased in 2018, in every measure and for nearly every age group.

This should help to support any decisions they are making about their futures and what each institution is able to provide. Due to the Covid-19 situation, school sixth forms and colleges are not able to offer things like open days, campus tours and taster days and this may have felt like there is less support available to help young people deciding on their next steps.
