Welcome
Thank you for taking the time to read our annual review for the academic year 2008/2009
Northamptonshire Study Centres provide young people with wider, richereducational experiences and opportunities. We are proud of the partnershipbetween the study centres and the local sports clubs which works in an effectiveand exciting way to offer young people the opportunity to learn new skills andincrease motivation and self esteem.
Councillor Andrew Grant,
Cabinet Member for Children and Young People
Northamptonshire Study Centres go from strength to strength. They are beacons of good practiceproviding innovative and exciting learning experiences to children and young people who attendeither Playing for Success (PfS) or one of the many day time programmes on offer.
Playing for Success is a partnership between the Department for Children,Schools and Families (DCSF) Northamptonshire County Council and the local sports clubs– Northampton Saints Rugby Club, Northampton Town Football Club, NorthamptonshireCounty Cricket Club, Rushden & Diamonds Football Club and Silverstone Circuits.Evidence from a number of national evaluations shows that PfS has contributed toimprovements in pupils’ literacy and numeracy skills and has improved their selfconfidence and motivation as well as raising standards, through personalising learningexperiences. The feedback we receive from schools, parents and carers, and the younglearners themselves supports the national findings.Each of our five study centres achieved a bronze Charter Mark award for their Engagement and ActiveInvolvement of Young People and we continue to extend our Quality in Study Support (QiSS)accreditation. An indication of how well the ongoing commitment and enthusiasm of the entire team isregarded was apparent in our being shortlisted for the NCC Team of the Year award.We are delighted to have established a new partnership with Adrenaline Alley in Corby where we haveopened a satellite centre - the first PfS centre in the country to be based in an urban sports centre.We look forward to introducing the young people of Corby to all that Northamptonshire Study Centreshave to offer.Cross team and partnership working has been demonstrated in the growth of the Supporter to Reporterprogramme which began with the kic.in2.study group and has now extended to include students fromschools across the county. This project joins PfS on the Road and Double Club in our portfolio of StudyCentre opportunities which can be offered outside of, but in partnership with, the various centres. Weare very excited by the introduction of the Duke of Edinburgh Award at the Cobblers Study Centre whichextends what we can offer to young people, as well as expanding the range of young people accessingthe Study Centre facilities. This year has also seen an exciting piece of work done in partnership withthe Race Equality Team – a summer school at the Steelbacks Study Centre for new arrivals - anotherinnovative example of partnership working for the benefit of young people in our community.We hope you enjoy reading about our work and we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of ourpartners who have made this last year so successful.
