  • Appendix 5: Student Accommodation
    Appendix 5 Student Accommodation Guildford Borough Council 2020 433 Background Guildford borough hosts a variety of further1 and higher2 education establishments; including the University of Surrey, the University of Law, Guildford College (which includes Merrist Wood College), the Academy of Contemporary Music and the School of Horticulture at RHS Wisley. Together, these institutions provide a range of higher and further education courses such as foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, and vocational higher education courses and diplomas. Students attending these courses are likely to be from a wide range of backgrounds, including students from ages 16 and above. Students typically live in a diverse set of accommodation types such as at home with family, in purpose-built communal halls of residence (either on or off campus), in other establishments (such as the YMCA), or in houses within the local community. Many students also benefit from distance learning, placement years, or are part-time or postgraduates that may rent or own their own home. National planning policy guidance and test In February 2019, the government published an updated National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), which had been significantly revised from its previous iteration in July 2018. The NPPF states that: the size, type and tenure of housing needed for different groups in the community should be assessed and reflected in planning policies (including but not limited to, those who require affordable housing, families with children, older people, students,

    Further Education Commissioner assessment summary The Guildford College Group November 2017 Contents Assessment 3 Background 3 Area Review Recommendations 3 FE Commissioner Intervention 4 Assessment Methodology 4 Governance 4 Leadership and Management 5 The College’s Financial Position 5 Quality of Provision 6 Conclusions 7 Recommendations 8 2 Assessment Background The Guildford College Group (GCG) is a medium-sized general further education college in Surrey, comprising three campuses: • Stoke Park in Guildford: general further education • Merrist Wood College: land-based provision • Farnham Sixth Form College: 16-18 academic provision. The Group is a result of two mergers – Guildford College joined with Merrist Wood in 2001 and Farnham Sixth Form College joined the Group in 2007. The Group is the largest FE College in the county. GCG has experienced a number of difficulties in relation both to finance and to quality over recent years, i.e.: • It was subject to a Notice of Concern for financial health and placed into formal FE Commissioner intervention in March 2014. It was removed from FE Commissioner intervention in September 2016 as its financial position improved as a result of a land sale and improved operating position, but remained under ESFA intervention. • It was subject to a Notice of Concern in relation to financial management and control in June 2015. This notice was lifted in March 2017. • It was subject to Notices of Concern in relation to minimum standards in 2015, 2016 and 2017 for Apprenticeships. • The College was graded 3 (requires improvement) by Ofsted in its two most recent inspections, in June 2015 and May 2017.

  • George Abbot Bulletin …The Weekly Round-Up and Preview for GAS Parents and Carers
    George Abbot Bulletin …the weekly round-up and preview for GAS parents and carers Headteacher’s Message 25 June 2021 All Today, my Bulletin contains a note of caution. Coronavirus rates are increasing in Surrey and in our local area. Our district council neighbours, Reigate and Banstead have seen a significant rise in cases and some of our local schools have needed to send year groups home. We have to take this context very seriously. Please can I urge you to make sure your child’s face masks are freshly washed over the weekend, that you check they have some hand sanitiser and that you remind them we are not out of the woods, yet. This context has meant that we have been particularly mindful of risk when considering some of the end of term events we had hoped to run. I know how disappointed our Year 11s are that we did not choose to run a Prom at school. Our assessment was that the risk was too great (apart from the real lack of glamour that school could facili- tate!). However, that does not mean that we have given up on our Prom plans – far from it. Year 13: the committee and Sixth Form team have man- aged to secure a provisional rebooking of the Year 13 Prom to Monday 9 September. A separate letter will follow to Year 13 students and parents asking for students to indi- cate their availability for this date so that a final decision on viability can be made. Year 11: we have managed to secure a new date of Thurs- day 23 September for the Year 11 Prom at the same Pine Ridge venue.

  • DEPUTY DIRECTOR - NORTH United Learning
    DEPUTY DIRECTOR - NORTH United Learning unitedlearning.org.uk WELCOME LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE Thank you very much for expressing interest in becoming a Deputy Director - North with United Learning. United Learning sets out to provide all children and young people with a broad and deep education which prepares them to succeed in life. We were founded 130 years ago to provide education for girls when it was in short supply, and the independent schools which started the Group remain an important part of it today. In the last 15 years, we have become one of the biggest academy groups in the country – still focusing on the original aims of the academy programme – turning around poor schools serving poor communities. As Deputy Director – North, you will have a central role in raising standards in our schools across the north. We are determined to raise attainment and ensure that children make exceptional progress. But we do not want this to be at the expense of a broad education, and are determined that all our schools offer a wide range of opportunities within and outside the classroom, developing character as well as intellect. So we are looking for a leader who shares our strong educational values, who has the highest expectations and who achieves great results but does so by putting children rather than performance indicators first. You will have a track record of success as a leader in secondary education, have the personal energy and confidence to raise standards working through other leaders and be effective in developing others and building teams.

  • George Abbot Bulletin
    George Abbot Bulletin …the weekly round-up and preview for GAS parents and carers Headteacher’s Message 26 March 2021 All As I write, school has just emptied in readiness for the Year 9 Parents’ Consultation appointments; Mrs Firth and Mr O’Sullivan did sterling work on Woodruff Avenue to manage the traffic chaos created by road resurfacing. A reminder to parents/carers that if you can avoid picking up children on Woodruff Avenue next week, whilst these works remain in place, it would be a great deal less stressful for the school-run drivers amongst you. As staff prepare themselves for this afternoon’s parent appointments in the world of virtual consultations, the building feels oddly silent. It is reminiscent of lockdown again – the un-nerving absence of teenage presence. This week saw a national reflection on the anniversary of the beginning of lockdown in March 2020. I am sure that many of you, like my family, found a moment of stillness at 8pm to pause and hold a light to the sky in re- flection. Our collective experience is significant and our collective thoughts are with all those who have lost so much – whether that be family members or friends, income, time with loved ones or the simple joy of life fully lived. As the vaccination programme continues, I am so pleased that many of us have now received our first vaccination – this is an early milestone in our progress towards a more familiar way of living. Thank you to all of the families who have got underway with lateral flow testing at home.

  • Prospectus 2020
    Prospectus 2020 …best lesson,AMBITION best day,DETERMINATION best year,RESPECT best future… Welcome to Walthamstow Academy Walthamstow Academy is a dynamic, thriving and successful academy at the centre of the local community. I believe that at the heart of our success are three key factors. The first is the dedication of our staff, who are all wholly determined to do whatever it takes to get the best possible outcomes for every single one of our students. This involves nurturing every child and tracking their progress to make sure that they are on track and that we are bringing out the best in them. Second, we are committed to raising ambition through very high expectations and a belief that every child can achieve great things if they have the opportunity, the drive and the support that they need. As a Ms Emma Skae result, our students have these expectations of themselves. They want to learn, they want to be successful Principal and they want to be proud. Our attendance is outstanding: students want to be here, they describe being BSc BEd MA NPQH part of Walthamstow Academy as like being part of a family. Third, at Walthamstow Academy we believe that there is no time to waste. We make the most of every day. For every minute of every lesson, we make sure that our students are happy, engaged and learning. They know they need to make the most of every opportunity they are offered and we want to be there to make sure they succeed. I want all our students to have hopes and dreams for the future that mean they are challenging themselves to be the best they can be.
