Ashton Under Lyne

Boundary Arts Centre is a Dance, Musical Theatre and Acrobatics Arts school based in Ashton Under Lyne. Providing classes from age 2 to Adults in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Musical Theatre, Commercial, Contemporary, Progressive Ballet Technique, Acrobatics Arts and Alixa Flexibility.We also provide private Music, Singing, Drama and Dance lessons. All of our classes are held at our BAC studios in Ashton and whilst you wait, you can take a seat in our cafe, have a bite to eat and enjoy a hot cup of coffee. (covid permitting) Boundary Arts Centre was established in April 2012 by Director, professional dancer and teacher Siobhan Pownall. We began in a small local studio in Audenshaw with only a couple of students in the class. The school expanded so much after a short few months that we moved into a slightly bigger premises and also opened up another venue in Ashton. In 2014 we had three different sites in Tameside until we decided to combine them all to one venue in Ashton Under Lyne which then created Boundary Dance Company. However, as we continue to expand our school and keep offering such a variety of classes we changed the name to Boundary Arts Centre. All students that are 5+ and take part in our prestigious government accredited RAD Ballet IDTA Tap exams and Acrobatic Arts exams. And students aged 3+ can participate in IDTA musical theatre exams. All students have the opportunity to take part in our annual showcase that will not only develop skills which assist in their personal development but also skills which could lead them onto a professional career, if they wish. We also take part in mini performances and competitions through out the year which we have been extremely successful in. We believe that hard work, discipline and determination are essential and we encourage all students to believe in themselves.

Manchester

The Association for Public Service Excellence (APSE) is a networking community that assists local authorities who are striving to improve their frontline services. APSE works with more than 250 local authorities across the UK to advise and share information and expertise on a broad range of frontline public services. These councils are supported by a team of experts, who draw upon a wealth of knowledge in areas such as policy and practice, as well as in vital frontline service areas. Members of APSE have access to many excellent benefits that help local authorities to grow. These include regular briefings on the latest policy developments and operational issues, access to groups and forums that allow authorities to come together to share information and collaborate, and the ability to anonymously ask for - and give - advice on a range of service issues. One of the most important benefits APSE membership offers is the opportunity for local authority service providers to have their views voiced and represented at a national level. APSE carefully develops this voice by collaborating with members, and supports it using research, extensive campaigns and consistent media activities. APSE conducts research, publishes reports, and campaigns to create a positive role for local government, helping them to deliver high quality, effective and efficient public services. APSE's targeted training programme, regular briefings and inclusive events strive to keep council officers and elected members constantly updated on the latest public service issues. There is also APSE Solutions, an in-house team that works closely with individual authorities, offering high quality consultancy and interim management support for members and other relevant organisations. APSE has also developed the innovative Performance Networks service, which is the largest national voluntary local government benchmarking service. APSE is here to help local authorities and endeavours to do everything possible to help them achieve excellence in their frontline service

Institute Of School Business Leadership

institute of school business leadership

Manchester

The Institute can trace its origins to informal gatherings amongst the earlier pioneers of state school business leadership over 40 years ago. As our education system has evolved, the education workforce has had to adapt. As schools continue to be afforded more local autonomy, and with it more direct accountability, the need for well-trained, qualified and competent school business professionals (SBPs) has become increasingly important in all school leadership structures. Between 2001 and 2012, the National College led a government-sponsored programme to develop thousands of SBPs. The coalition government favoured a move towards a sector-led, self-improving system, which signalled the end of National College SBP sponsored programmes. To continue the important SBP workforce professionalisation work initiated by the National College, in 2017 ISBL became a nationally recognised professional body by being granted the prestigious status of institute. Our role in the education system ISBL’s principal function is to provide all education stakeholders with confidence in the capability of school business professionals. In order to adequately serve our education system, this workforce needs to consist of technically competent, highly skilled and experienced practitioners. Here at ISBL, we set the benchmark for effective practice through sector-endorsed professional standards and provide development opportunities for our professional community and their institutions through a portfolio of quality-assured qualifications, training, resources, research and events. Helping secure a brighter future for our children: A blueprint for school business leadership practice This is a statement of ISBL’s intent, with effective school resource management at its core. It sets out our vision and commitment to supporting the ongoing development of a critical, fit-for-purpose workforce, along with the necessary steps towards equipping a cadre of professionals ready and able to support other school and trust leaders in responding to the complex challenges of our evolving education system. Download a copy of the ISBL blueprint here. How we influence policy ISBL aims to remain politically neutral. Using a non-partisan approach, we provide the Government with feedback from our community and a technical steer in areas of policy relevant to our expertise. In essence, we act as the conduit between policy and practice. We support all school business professionals We recognise the professional diversity that exists within the SBP community. In a mixed-economy education system, it is inevitable that there will be a variety of operating models – some very large and some much smaller. The structures that support these organisations will differ, as will levels of responsibility, accountability and complexity. It is therefore unsurprising that there are many versions of the SBP role. As an institute, it is our aim to develop and support practitioners at every stage of their career journey, whether they are an aspiring SBP, a practitioner in a standalone setting or indeed operating at an executive level across a number of schools.
