Ealing 14 – 19 Strategic Plan
Introduction
A key part of the government’s agenda to improve outcomes for young people
is to transform the opportunities for those aged 14 to 19.. The 14 to 19 White
Paper set out the government’s plans to transform opportunity for young
people. This is to be achieved through changes to the curriculum,
qualifications and organisation of education and training. The objective is for
every young person is able to pursue a course of study that prepare them for
success in life. The recently published Education and Inspections Bill, 2006
gives effect to the most important changes. Central to this is the introduction
of 14 new specialised Diplomas. Every young people will have an entitlement
to study vocational diplomas in an area. To achieve this and other objectives
it will be essential that schools, colleges and other providers will need to work
together.
In Ealing we have a good record in improving services for children and young
people. In 2005 Education and Children’s Services Inspectors rated us as
serving most children well. In 2005 at GCSE Ealing Schools achieved the
third best value added score between Key Stage 2 and GCSE. Our school VI
forms perform well, and five of the eight schools with VI forms are amongst
the top 25 percent of VI forms in terms of value added.
Collaboration between providers has improved. Through the Increased
Flexibility Programme High schools have developed good links with
Hammersmith and West London College at Key Stage 4. However, we know
that more can be done. We need to develop more vocational learning
opportunities and improve pathways into further education and training. The
plan focuses on those areas that are priorities for improvement.
The purpose of the consultation exercise is to ensure that the final plan
reflects a shared approach to improving provision available for young people
in Ealing. This draft plan sets out how this exciting new Agenda could be
developed in Ealing and the actions that could be taken over the next 3 years.
It has been drawn up by a group, jointly chaired by the West London Learning
and Skills Council and the Authority and includes representation from schools,
the local college, the Youth and Connexions Service and other providers. The
draft plan has been informed by 42 stakeholder interviews carried out by Mo
Sabur, consultant Headteacher, and Jan Parnell, 14 to 19 Adviser.
We very much welcome comments on this draft, the deadline for comments is
Friday 30th June 2006. These should be set to:

Context
Current provision
Ealing has 13 High Schools of which 8 have VI form provision. Post 16 study
is provided in the borough through Ealing, Hammersmith and West London
College which has three sites based in Acton, Ealing and Southall. Students
in Ealing are also able to access provision in neighbouring boroughs,
particularly Richmond, Hammersmith and Fulham and Uxbridge. Post 16
provision in funded and co-ordinated by the West London Learning and Skills
Council.
Ealing, Hammersmith, and West London College [EHWLC] is the large
Further Education college that sits within the borough boundaries. The college
has recently refurbished and developed new provision on each of the sites.
Acton College will primarily focus upon Construction and Engineering and is
developing significant links with Employers. Ealing Green has a sixth form
centre and has been awarded CoVE [Centre of Vocational Excellence] status
for Media whilst Southall College has a thriving new sixth form and ESOL
provision. The college’s adult work has an emphasis on essential skills and
ESOL provision within the constraints of LSC funding priorities.
Population
Ealing is a unique and highly diverse borough with a young and growing
population. Ealing has a population of about 303,000. Between 1991 and
2001 it experienced a significant growth, in line with London’s population as a
whole. Ealing has a relatively young population with people aged under 24
making up 34 percent of the total.
Overall the population growth is expected to continue in line with that for
London as a whole. However, in terms the number of young people aged 14
to 19 growth is projected in the next few years but by 2011 the GLA
population projections indicate that the number of 14 to 19 year olds will
decline by 5.3 percent compared to the 2001 census. The largest drop being
in students aged 19. The fall in population will not necessarily lead to a
reduction in children in school or college. Ealing and GLA school roll
projections indicate a modest increase in the number of students aged 14 to
19 in Ealing schools by 2011 and this increase will be more should the staying
on rate increase.

Deprivation
Twenty- eight percent of areas in Ealing are in the top 20 percent of the most
deprived areas nationally in terms of income deprivation affecting children.
The average masks differences between areas in the Borough. The most
deprived areas are concentrated in Northolt, Norwood Green, Dormers Wells,
social housing estates in West and central Ealing and South Acton. In South
Acton 76 percent of children are affected by income deprivation.
The Northolt West End ward, which is part of Northolt Sure Start and
Education Action Zone, is the only area in the borough, which is below
national averages on all measures of educational attainment. Currently there
is limited college presence in this area.
Entitlement to FSM is an indicator of deprivation levels. Nationally the
average figure is 14% in High Schools. These figures are much higher in
Ealing at 30% at high school level, clearly reflecting a high level of pupils from
low income families in Ealing’s schools.
Ethnicity in schools:
Ealing’s maintained school population is highly ethnically diverse.
72% of pupils were classified as being of minority ethnic origin in
PLASC 2005 compared to 17% nationally.
34% of pupils are White
30% Asian or Asian British
18% Black or Black British
6% from mixed or dual backgrounds
10% are Chinese or other ethnic heritage.
The population of Black African pupils has doubled in the last 5 years. This
has been partly due to the large increase in Somali pupils who now make up
6% of the total pupil population. There has also been a significant increase in
the proportion of Eastern European pupils (up from 814 to 1226 in the last
three years).

Ealing’s Economy:
In overall economic terms Ealing is reasonably prosperous with successful IT,
media and finance industries. Ealing is also a borough undergoing significant
economic development. The Community Plan for Ealing has identified growth
opportunities in health, retail, construction and multi-media industries. There
are recruitment and upskilling opportunities through Heathrow T5, 2012
Olympics related development, and the London West Media Corridor. These
areas have also been identified through the LSC needs assessment.
However the key challenge is the wide gap between those in prosperity and
those excluded, which includes many of the vulnerable children and families
whose needs this Plan addresses, through improving education outcomes
and focusing on increasing economic well being.
Tackling social exclusion and enabling Ealing residents to attain the skills to
access the high skill job market of the Ealing, West London and indeed
Central London economy are the key challenges which underpin this plan.
The issue of poor adult literacy and numeracy skills need be addressed
through a coherent Essential Skills provision.
Housing Need
There is a shortage of affordable accommodation in the borough both to buy
and rent. Unless the housing market keeps up with the population growth we
should expect the price of housing continue to rise and overcrowding to
increase.
This has significant implications for Ealing’s young population as access to
quality, decent homes becomes more difficult. It will also make it more
difficult for Ealing to attract and retain teaching and support staff. Steps are
being taken through keyworker schemes to address these issues.
Destinations of Students Post 16
CfBT Advice & Guidance provides information, advice and guidance services
in the London Borough of Ealing in partnership with Connexions London
West. The table below shows the destination of students over the last five
years.
The number in full-time education has increased and reflects the increasing
successes of Ealing pupils at GCSE. The percentage of young people not in
education, employment and training continues to reduce as does the number
that entered employment with no training.

in 2004 to 5.6% of 2005 cohort
Of the young people who continued in full-time education, the table below
shows the type of study undertaken. A/AS levels are the most popular
choices and have grown over the five year period. At the same time there has
been a marked reduction in all forms of vocational courses. However, for the
staying on rate to increase further, as well as A/AS levels, high quality
vocational courses will need to be developed as part of the government’s 14
to 19 strategy.

The increase in staying on in full-time education has been across all ethnic
groups except other ethnic groups. The largest increase has been amongst
white and black groups. Similarly, the percentage of young people
categorised as NEET has fallen between 2003 and 2004 in all ethnic groups.
The highest proportion of NEETS is amongst White students.

In the 2005, of the 2,373 students remaining in full-time education 1,536 (65
percent) attended 15 schools or colleges in Ealing. The table below shows
the percentage of students at each type of institution. Just over a quarter of
all students attended Hammersmith and West London College, with school VI
forms being the most popular places to study.

In 2005, 75 students left school and went straight into employment and
training. The table below compares the percentage of students by sector.
Unskilled occupations, skilled construction and personal services (catering,
child care, protective services and hairdressing) have remained relative stable
sectors over the last three years accounting for nearly 70 percent of the
students in employment. Clerical and administrative occupations have shown
the most growth. The reduction in retail reflects the current difficult
competitive situation in this sector.

For the small number of students entering employment straight from school in
2005, the choice of occupations is very gender stereotypical. There were no
females in catering, construction and engineering and vehicle trades. All of
those in hairdressing and child-care were female. However, retail and
administration were more gender balanced.
Students with additional needs are less likely to remain in full-time education.
The table below shows compares the destinations of all Year 11 students to
those with additional needs.

In summary, the demographic and information on the destinations of students
at the end of Year 11 suggests that within the live time of the plan the main
issues to address are:
between 14 and 16 improving pathways into education, training and
employment of vulnerable and under-achieving groups, particularly for
white working class and black pupils
educational and training opportunities for students with additional
needs
non-traditional career opportunities for young women particularly those
not entering further and higher education
widening vocational provision at Levels 1 to 3
Links with the LSC, Connexions and ~Youth Service and Youth
Offending Service
The draft strategy for 14-19 provision in the area recognises that more needs
to be done in schools to broaden the curriculum offer and develop greater
collaboration between providers. The London West Learning and Skills
Council has identified eight areas of the West London economy that are
expected to grow including media, construction, retail engineering, health and
social care. During the period of the plan it is intended to develop specialist
diplomas and other courses at Key Stages 4 and 5 to address these gaps.
Links between education and employment are also being strengthened
through initiatives such as the Excellence in Cities programme - Aim Higher
Project. The authority will continue to build on this by strengthening its 14 – 19
Strategy and implementing the Youth Matters Green Paper. This year a
successful mentoring Aim Higher Project focused on training older care
leavers as peer mentors and positive role models for children in education in
Years 10 and 11, in partnership with Thames Valley University. This scheme
will continue to develop over the next 3 years and integrate with a new
Council wide young apprentice scheme, currently in the planning stage with
West London LSC.
D:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\f0425c4e-88c6-4c25-b799-8fe2c90bd4f2.doc Page 9 of 30
Ealing has had an integrated Youth and Connexions service, based in the
local authority – as recommended by the recent Youth Matters Green paper -
over the past 3 years. This plan will complement the work the Youth and
Connexions Service will undertake to develop a broader Youth offer which is
aimed at ensuring that young people have a range of positive activities.
Similarly in broadening the curriculum offer in schools will play an important
part in the authority’s strategy to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour and
re-offending. Ealing’s youth offending service provides a positive, well
established partnership model in which police, youth offending, connexions,
education and youth service staff work in an integrated service to reduce
levels of offending and target crime reduction amongst those young people
most at risk.
Policy Context
This 14-19 Strategic Plan for 2006-2009 has been compiled from the following
national and local policy priorities:

D:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\f0425c4e-88c6-4c25-b799-8fe2c90bd4f2.doc Page 10 of 30
Objectives
The strategic plan demonstrate a commitment by all stakeholders in Ealing to
widen the approach to the development of 14-19 provision building on the 14 -
19 protocol and strategy agreed by the extended EiC Partnership.
The strategy seeks to build upon what is already happening in the borough
and in particular to build upon what works well and has already been proven
to be successful in meeting the needs of young people in Ealing. This work
has been recognised and acknowledged in the LEA/EiC Inspection Report
(2002), Area Inspection for Post 16 in Ealing & Hammersmith and Fulham
(2003).
Strategic Objectives
To develop effective strategic collaboration which improves the range,
choice and quality of learning in Ealing.
To improve access, achievement, retention, participation and
progression through an increased range of curriculum provision,
matched to the needs of all young people.
To develop the capacity, relevance and quality of work-based learning
for young people and employers.
To sustain current good practice and build a culture of continuous
quality improvement across all providers.
To develop high quality information, advice and guidance for all young
people to support their successful transition into education, training and
employment.
To improve links and promote joined up thinking between all agencies
and service providers
To improve multi-agency working to engage young people who are not
in education, employment and training.
Aims
To deliver the vision and values and address the inclusion and skills agenda
in the borough the 14-19 Strategic group has agreed the following set of
strategic aims:
Aim 1: Developing Leadership and Partnership – Continue to develop key
structures and processes to
facilitate the expansion of existing collaboration and collective strategic
leadership arrangements
create new opportunities for clustering and partnership working
effective partnerships with employer forums and sector skills councils
Aim 2: Developing the Curriculum – To continue to develop and implement
a sustainable 14-19 learner offer for Ealing which allows every student access
to a mix of general and specialist qualifications and courses designed to
maximise individual achievement.
D:\Docstoc\Working\pdf\f0425c4e-88c6-4c25-b799-8fe2c90bd4f2.doc Page 11 of 30
Aim 3: Developing Information, Advice and Guidance – Continuing
development of good quality and impartial information, advice, support and
guidance for all young people in Ealing, including Statutory requirements.
Aim 4: Developing Quality – Continued development of improved quality
teaching and learning across all Ealing providers supported by an effective
programme of Continuing Professional Development
Supporting Delivery
The main responsibility for the implementation and monitoring of this strategy
will lie with the 14-19 JAR group jointly chaired by the LEA and London West
LSC and with a secretariat function supplied by the local authority. All
stakeholders are represented on the group and it has links with the
EiC/Headteachers’ group (currently under review), the Local Management
Committee of Connexions and the local FE college senior management team.
Delivery of actions will be through designated lead organisations acting on
behalf of the 14-19 Strategic Group and through the following task groups:
a data group linked to the London West StAR Data Group
Curriculum Planning Group
Secondary Heads Forum
Work related learning & enterprise task group
Connexions Local Management Committee
Vulnerable Children’s Group
14-16 School-College Partnership Steering Group
Enterprise Centre
NEET Task Group
All stakeholders will assess their commitment to 14-19 development and
ensure that capital and revenue priorities in their individual plans are
consistent with the aims of the joint strategy. The LEA has a 14-19 Adviser
and a fulltime Aim Higher Consultant who will support operational
developments. The last year of the post 16 Area Action Plan will fund an
operational 14 -19 Consultant on secondment from a local High school
Measuring the success of the strategy
To monitor and evaluate the strategy, the 14-19 JAR Group will develop
processes to agree measures of success and local targets linked to the
current statutory and contractual targets agreed nationally by each of the
stakeholders. As a first draft, the 14-19 Strategic Group will build on the
following measures of success proposed by the London Challenge and those
associated with Aim Higher and the DfES 16-19 Principles paper: The key
indicators from the Children and Young People’s plan are set out in appendix
