INTRODUCTION AND APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies were received from Pat Murphy, Jean Thorpe, John Wright and Irfan Khan. 54. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST None declared 55.1 QMC’S TEACHING AND LEARNING LINKS WITH BASINGSTOKE SCHOOLS The Board received a presentation from Kate Need, Assistant Principal on the work taking place in partnership with Basingstoke secondary schools. Kate Need explained that a few years ago Hampshire Local Authority had run a schools development programme for Basingstoke schools and following this the ‘deputies group’ set up as part of the programme had continued to meet regularly. The group’s main focus was on using educational research to underpin teaching and learning in the different institutions. 55.2 Kate Need reported on a number of coordinated activities including, inset day sessions, support for minority subjects, initial teacher training and taster days/revision assemblies. The Board heard that one of the main aims of these activities for QMC was to raise the aspirations of students within Basingstoke secondary schools. The Board discussed some of the links in more detail: Modern Foreign languages – QMC language staff had previously provided support as needed, for example, a member of QMC staff had been shared with Costello to provide Spanish teaching in the secondary school whilst their teacher was on maternity leave. However, for 2018/19 a more systematic approach was being taken with QMC providing weekly GCSE language sessions for secondary school students in Basingstoke in French, German and Spanish. Students would come to the College to enable them to be taught in larger classes by subject specialist. BASCITT – students on the Basingstoke Schools Initial Teacher Training, run by Dove House, were now based at QMC for their central training sessions and placed in schools across Basingstoke. The trainees had a number of sessions from QMC staff as well as a week-long post-16 placement. Contacts had been made between teaching staff across Basingstoke through these activities, for example, a member of staff from Bishop Challoner had been involved in the new skills based ‘Training Book’ being developed at QMC to replace ‘Mark Book’. 55.3 One of the Trustees was interested in the ‘coordinated inset’ and Kate Need reported that the date was arranged across Basingstoke by the ‘deputies group’. In 2017/18 there had been activities based on different educational themes in schools across Basingstoke and in 2018/19 the inset day activities had been arranged around subjects. The majority of Basingstoke schools had participated in the joint activities although some schools ran internal training for staff. One of the Trustees asked if the coordinated inset and other links between schools were making an impact. Ali Foss reported that results in Basingstoke schools were gradually improving; this could not be attributed to any specific intervention but in her view, as some of the schools were so small the only way that they could improve was by working together. The Board were pleased that QMC was working in a ‘system leadership’ role to support links between schools and that there was currently momentum to keep teaching and learning initiatives going and embed improvements. Kate Need left the meeting 56. MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING Minutes from the NHEA Board meeting held on 3rd April 2019 (paper NHEA 47/18 circulated with the agenda) were approved as an accurate record and signed by the Chair. 57. MATTERS ARISING AND OUTSTANDING ACTIONS The Board discussed matters arising and outstanding actions from previous meetings that were not covered elsewhere on the agenda. 180327 NHEA Minute 8.3: Policy review – ongoing – Anti-Fraud and Anti- Bribery Policies to come to next Audit Committee meeting. 180710 NHEA Minute 10.3: logo and website for NHEA –on hold pending budget discussion 18/19 NHEA Minute 21.3: Chair’s meetings - ongoing 18/19 NHEA Minute 23.1: BYOD now in place for some Trustees – Trustees being added to new logins at each meeting. 18/19 NHEA Minute 44.4: DfE review of Level 3 provision – details of response to consultation circulated to Trustees and Local Governors following the last meeting. 18/19 NHEA Minute 45.2: Update on response to changes to the Adult Education Budget to be re-scheduled. 18/19 NHEA Minute 46.3: The College was unsuccessful in its CIF bid (capital funding for estates upgrades) 18/19 NHEA Minute 49.2: joint NHEA/BCoT information sharing event – BCoT were responsive to the idea but have asked that this event be scheduled for the autumn term. 18/19 NHEA Minute 49.5: opportunities for Trustee and Local Governor training had been circulated and an induction event had been held at the College attended by 2 Trustees and 2 Local Governors. 58.1 UPDATE FROM CHIEF EXECUTIVE Ali Foss updated the Board on national and regional developments within the College Sector. Alton College had now merged with Havant and Southdown College to form an FE College with three campuses 2 of which were previously Sixth Form Colleges (Alton and Havant). Hadlow College (Kent) had been the first College in the country to be placed into education administration under the new insolvency regime. 58.2 Ali Foss reported that a structure and prospects appraisal was being carried out by the FE Commissioner on behalf of Southampton City College (a General FE College). A number of institutions local to Southampton, including FE colleges, Sixth form Colleges and a 16-19 academy (previously a sixth form college) were known to be participating in discussions. The Trustees discussed some of the reasons why Southampton City College had required intervention: there had been a large reduction in the Adult Education Budget, a general demographic dip of 16- 19 year olds, travel difficulties within the city limited the catchment of the College, the reputation of the College was less good than some of the other institutions in the area and Southampton City College, as a small college was less resilience to changes in student numbers/ funding. However, Ali Foss reported that potential student numbers in the area around Southampton City were due to increase significantly in the area over the next few years. The Trustees were very interested to hear that the Schools Commissioner was involved in the review as one potential option could involve a Multi Academy Trust. The Board asked to be updated, if possible, as the negotiations progressed. Action: Update on regional issues AFS 58.3 Partnership between QMC and AWE The Trust Board noted a draft collaboration agreement between Queen Mary’s College and AWE (paper NHEA 48/18 circulated with the agenda) regarding partnership working. Collaborative work was planned to support a wide ranging programme of STEM activities for school pupils across Basingstoke and Deane and North Hampshire and included some financial support from AWE for the QMC Science Centre. Ali Foss reminded the Board that the Science Centre at QMC had been initially set up almost 20 years ago with AWE to provide primary school students with opportunities to participate in practical science based activities. Recently, the number of schools using this facility had decreased, due mainly to a reduction in school budgets impacting schools’ ability to fund pupil travel to College. Following discussions with AWE, they had agreed to fund a minibus so that primary school pupils could be offered free transport to the Science Centre and also fund a minimum of 3,500 sessions each year for three years to be offered free to primary school pupils in the area. The Trustees briefly discussed the Science Centre and other aspects of the QMC/AWE partnership such as the year 10 science fair to be hosted by QMC and the STEM mentoring programme for QMC students. 58.4 The Trust Board considered if there were any risks, including reputational risks, associated with the agreement, one of the trustees questioned the figure of 3,500 Science Centre sessions with primary school pupils, however, Ali Foss reported that this was well within the capacity of the Science Centre which had, in the past run up to 5,000 sessions in an academic year. Following discussion, the Trust thanked Ali Foss for her work in renewing the partnership and were pleased to approve the three year partnership agreement from 1 September 2019 for signature. The Board noted that the Science Centre would be ‘relaunched’ in the Autumn Term. 58.5 2019 Student Recruitment Update The Trustees noted a paper detailing current applications by school (paper NHEA 49/18 circulated with the agenda). Ali Foss also provided a handout detailing demographic changes to the potential student population surrounding QMC. Ali Foss reminded the Board that there had been a steep demographic dip over the last few years with the potential 2019 intake being the smallest for many years prior to a gradual growth in potential student numbers over the next few years. Ali Foss reminded the Board of various trends in recruitment: A-Level students from Andover had, in the past, often travelled to Basingstoke to attend college, however, the majority of students from this area now tended to study at Andover College Sixth Form Centre (part of Sparsholt College).

  • Item 4 HAMPSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL Report Committee: Children and Young People Select Committee Date: 15 April 2010 Title: Hampsh
    : Item 4 HAMPSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL Report Committee: Children and Young People Select Committee Date: 15 April 2010 Title: Hampshire Children’s Trust – developing Local Children’s Partnerships Report from: Director of Children’s Services Contact name: Deborah Harkin Tel: (01962) 846699 Email: [email protected] 1. Purpose of report 1.1. The purpose of this paper is to outline the progress made in developing Local Children’s Partnerships (LCPs) to support the Hampshire Children’s Trust in delivering the improvements in outcomes for children and young people, as established in the Children and Young People’s Plan. 1.2. This paper addresses the following key issues: statutory requirements; performance management; function and purpose of LCPs; the time scale for the development of local delivery plans; the emerging configuration of LCPs. 2. Contextual information 2.1. The existing partnership arrangements are based around the 11 District Council areas in Hampshire. Good progress has been made by a broad range of partners in addressing key issues within the Children and Young People’s Plan (CYPP) from a local perspective. 2.2. These local arrangements have not always achieved sufficient engagement with schools and colleges. Whilst there are some good examples of integrating education and other services to achieve common purpose and priority, existing arrangements would not support the statutory duty upon each school and college to co-operate in improving outcomes for children and young people through the CYPP. 2.3. The proposed development of LCPs is based upon each school, college and all other local partners being engaged in an annual cycle of work to: identify local priorities for improvement; agree a local delivery plan; and monitor progress in improving outcomes.

  • Evidence Base
    Alton Neighbourhood Plan Education Evidence Base (revised 14th April 2015) 14th April 2015 1 Part 1 (Evidence to 17 May 2014) Introduction Information contained in this Part 1 of the Education Evidence Base is focussed on actions and information gathered and considered up to the Consultation Feedback presentation by Alton Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group to the public on 17 May 2014. Evidence generated and gathered after that date is covered at Part 2 of this document from page 15 onwards. A series of Objectives have been identified for the Alton Neighbourhood Plan. It is recognized that these and related policies should be built upon sound evidence. The present document deals with the Education domain. The Evidence Base as a whole, including the views of Alton residents and consultees, has been used to define and enlarge upon the Objectives of the Plan. The most relevant source-references regarding Education are cited in brackets in the text linked to references at the end of Part 1 on page 11 of this analysis. The Education objective reads: ‘To support the provision of sufficient nursery, school and college places in Alton to meet the growing demand, in accessible locations.’ Evidence has been sought to understand two questions which underline that objective: • Is there a growing demand for nursery, school and college places in the town? Will that outgrow the capacity of existing facilities? • How accessible (location-wise) are current primary schools in Alton? Might that alter with new housing development? This evidence base, along with the views of Alton residents and consultees, will be used to finalise the objectives that will frame the Neighbourhood Plan.
