Education Commission 18 The Education Commission is responsible for carrying out the work of the Archbishop in relation to the 72,179 pupils attending 174 schools and colleges within the Archdiocese, stretched across 14 local authority education areas. Of this number, 52 are Academies, 8 are Independent Schools and 11 are in the Trusteeship of Religious Orders. The remainder are Voluntary Aided Schools. Our vision is that all our Catholic schools should provide an authentically Catholic education, in a setting in which all children flourish, governors, leaders and staff are effectively supported, and where the quality of education is exemplary. Catholic schools in Southwark were celebrated in 2020 for their: • Extraordinary commitment to staying open for key worker children and those who are disadvantaged or vulnerable • Transformation of curricula to enable and account for opportunities for pupils to learn online • Contribution to providing food to disadvantaged pupils through the voucher scheme, distribution of food parcels and the provision of foodbanks • Work with pupils in examination cohorts to ensure that they received awards commensurate with their previous performance The Education Commission is now supporting our schools and colleges in a number of areas, including: • Developing our commitment to ensuring that there is no place for racism within them • Strengthening governance, through training and development, as well as creating new systems and structures to aid the expansion of MATs • Revising admissions policies in partnership with the Office of the Schools Adjudicator and, enabling appeals panels against the background of the pandemic • Preparing for the mandatory inspection of Relationships and Sex Education • Preparing schools for the new National Framework for Catholic School Inspection that comes into effect in September 2022 SUPPORT FOR SCHOOLS In addition to a variety of informal or ad hoc pieces of support for schools on a wide range of issues from the delivery of Religious Education to specific human resources and legal matters, the Education Commission has, since September 2020: • Conducted 24 virtual visits to schools using Zoom to analyse aspects of the provision and leadership of Religious Education. All visits stopped when the first lockdown was enacted and the advisory team was furloughed • Conducted 172 pastoral phone calls to the headteachers of all our schools and colleges in the context of the second lockdown • Re-modelled all of its training offered so as to provide courses online. This has become a cost-effective way of reaching many more governors, leaders and school staff. This led to 14 courses delivered in the Autumn term, all of which at least broke even. 272 participants joined one or other course • Organised and delivered a broadcast Advent service which drew over 1000 attendees from across the Diocese • Facilitated the participation of 246 Diocesan Foundation Governors representing 72 schools in online training using the Firm Foundations app. This app is free at the point of use and developed in partnership by officers of the Diocese with Anspear BUILDING PROJECTS IN 2020 The buildings team has had two new members join, an Administrator and a new Lead Buildings Officer. The additions to the team will give us a more hands on approach with schools and projects. Last year we operated a fully criterion-referenced programme for allocating projects. This has led to us successfully managing 85 projects undertaken at a cost of over £10.5 million under the school condition allocation for 2020 – 2021. In addition, we are currently progressing a new school build at St John Fisher, Chatham. An artist’s impression of the new build is here:
IMPACT REPORT THE SOUTHWARK BLESSING One of the Education Commission’s most notable successes of 2020 was the production of the now famous ‘Southwark Blessing’. Working with schools individually and the power of technology, our friend and music advisor Natalie Christian John, assembled an exceptionally diverse range of singers from across the Diocese to put together this emotionally challenging and profound piece of choral worship. The video has become a centre piece of Diocesan events and is used to show our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion. We are very proud of all the singers who took part, a small proportion of whom can be seen in the image here. https://youtu.be/Gg55az3YlW4 Southwark Catholic Schools – Key Facts and Figures Black/Black British 30.01% White Other 13.67% Mixed/Dual 9.64% White British 31.5% Traveller of Irish/Gypsy/ Roma Heritage 0.17% Chinese 0.49% Unknown 1.46% White Irish 1.48% Other ethnic group 3.95% Asian/Asian British 7.62% 72,179 11.87% 4.87% pupils attending 174 of pupils eligible for free of teachers in our schools Southwark Catholic school meals are specialist teachers of schools and colleges 40+ 175 teachers attended events/ religious education 73 languages spoken in training hosted by the capital projects successfully run with the our Catholic schools Education Commission. support of the Education Commission 19
