Welcome<br />
… to the latest edition<br />
of Term Talk!<br />
When we devised the theme of<br />
our conference in March, we had<br />
no idea that the UK Government<br />
would so enthusiastically back the<br />
idea of ‘character education’. We<br />
are delighted, of course, and equally<br />
pleased with the response from our<br />
local schools and colleges.<br />
Education Minister Nicky Morgan MP underlined the official support<br />
for young persons’ character development when she joined us to visit<br />
one of our NCS programmes. It was a great day, which reinforced all<br />
our beliefs in the imagination, resourcefulness and sheer ‘grit’ of young<br />
people, as we watched them put the ‘action’ into social action.<br />
The <strong>EBP</strong> also has an action-packed summer ahead, as we prepare<br />
to unveil our ‘Young Baron’ sculpture on the official Magna Carta<br />
celebration weekend, hold the best ever Lincolnshire Show Schools<br />
Challenge, and partner once again with the Red Arrows for our key<br />
event Red STEM.<br />
There’s plenty more to discover in Term Talk, so read on! If you<br />
have any questions about this or future editions, please contact our<br />

YOUR<br />
VOICE<br />
– A RESOUNDING<br />
‘YES!’<br />
‘The Personal Party’ carries the day<br />
in mock election with Education<br />
Minister, Nick Boles MP<br />
The inaugural YOUR Voice Conference for<br />
Young People was a great success, with<br />
competing schools and colleges getting to<br />
grips with topical policy issues and the<br />
democratic process.<br />
Stoke Rochford Hall was the suitably aweinspiring<br />
venue where the teams of young<br />
people, each having devised their own political<br />
‘party’, slogan and manifesto, promoted policy<br />
ideas on current issues through debate and<br />
impressive social media campaigns. The day<br />
culminated in a mock election.<br />
Representing North Hykeham Joint Sixth Form,<br />
The Personal Party prevailed in a tight ballot,<br />
with a witty and sophisticated slogan that<br />
pointed to the high standard of thinking on<br />
show: “We’re not left, we’re not right, but we’re<br />
certainly not wrong”.<br />
During the day’s miniature ‘Twitter storm’,<br />
Student Union President at Bishop Grosseteste<br />
University Chris Robertson referred to YOUR<br />
Voice (@yvlincs<strong>2015</strong>) as a, “Huge step<br />
forward for youth engagement in politics in<br />
Lincolnshire”. All present had to agree! “Every<br />
young person was totally engaged,” said The<br />
<strong>EBP</strong> CE Elaine Lilley.<br />
Some of the region’s most senior business<br />
people made themselves available to join a<br />
Question Time-style panel including Richard<br />
Davies, Executive Member for Highways and<br />
Transportation at Lincolnshire County Council.<br />
Local MP and Minister of State jointly for the<br />
Department for Business, Innovation and Skills<br />
and the Department for Education Nick Boles<br />
also joined the panel. Educationalist and Labour<br />
parliamentary candidate Dr Jason Pandya-Wood<br />
mentored participants.<br />
“Huge step<br />
forward for youth<br />
engagement<br />
in politics in<br />

GROWING<br />
POTENTIAL<br />
New packages build skills through<br />
unique experiences<br />
This year The <strong>EBP</strong> launched an exciting portfolio of<br />
products for schools under the banner of Potential for<br />
Growth. Packages cover a variety of subjects and skillsets,<br />
are tailored for age groups through primary and secondary<br />
and adapted to suit individual schools’ requirements.<br />
Here are just a few products trialled recently at local<br />
schools, with some great feedback so far:<br />
GAME OF TWO HALVES<br />
Students investigate roles, responsibilities<br />
and real life situations at a football club,<br />
gaining insight into the business through<br />
a series of practical literacy and numeracy<br />
challenges.<br />
A fantastic morning. It was<br />
great to see all children engaged<br />
in some very purposeful<br />
activities that developed<br />
everyone’s learning<br />

YOUNG TRADERS<br />
Students work in teams to establish their<br />
own business model. This can be delivered<br />
in school as a full day activity, or as a<br />
series of events over the course of a term.<br />
The students thoroughly<br />
enjoyed the day and the<br />
staff were fantastic<br />

<strong>TALK</strong>ING GOOD<br />
CHARACTER<br />
The <strong>EBP</strong> Conference delivered the truth about ‘grit’<br />
RED ARROWS<br />
FLY AGAIN FOR STEM<br />
The theme of The <strong>EBP</strong>’s annual<br />
conference reflected the UK<br />
Government’s recent drive for ‘character<br />
education’, emphasising qualities like<br />
self-discipline, motivation, honesty and<br />
respect.<br />
Held at the Lincoln Doubletree Hilton<br />
in March, the conference discussed<br />
the value of these qualities and,<br />
importantly, ways to foster them.<br />
Speakers described how experiences<br />
within and beyond the classroom are<br />
key to developing integrity, commitment<br />
and determination – often described as<br />
‘grit’.<br />
Research Associate for the Jubilee<br />
Centre for Character and Virtues, Emma<br />
Taylor delivered a keynote speech on<br />
the value of social action both to the<br />
community and in developing young<br />
character. Emma was joined by #iwill<br />
ambassador Rhiannon Sweeney (left),<br />
who spoke from the heart about the way<br />
involvement in the campaign and social<br />
action has helped her grow as a person:<br />
“I’m passionate about helping others,<br />
and I’m glad I can make a difference<br />
in my community – it’s made me the<br />
person I am today”.<br />
Guest speaker Guy Horridge, of national<br />
educational charity CVQO (above)<br />
talked about the character development<br />
journey through education, while Chris<br />
Baron of Butlins spoke engagingly on<br />
this essential factor in recruitment and<br />
throughout employment.<br />
The conference aimed to inspire<br />
attendees to embed this concept into<br />
their work, via pathways ranging from<br />
sport and music, teaching character<br />
education as a stand-alone subject, to<br />
volunteering in the community.<br />
Sixth Form Learning Mentor at King<br />
Edward VI Grammar School in Louth,<br />
Jessica Mackett praised the conference<br />
and the value she was able to take back<br />
to her students. Anne Scott from the<br />
Department of Work and Pensions<br />
agreed, adding, “The <strong>EBP</strong> provides a<br />
good network of support for the young<br />
people I work with”.<br />
The <strong>EBP</strong> has many products and<br />
services supporting character<br />
education. To learn how they<br />
could benefit your students,<br />

LEADING FROM THE FRONT<br />
Beth Curtis joins The <strong>EBP</strong>’s leadership team<br />
The star-studded ‘Red STEM’<br />
event, Spark Engineering Festival<br />
and forthcoming Construction<br />
Week combine to inspire<br />
students’ scientific interest.<br />
The <strong>EBP</strong> and RAF Scampton team up<br />
again on an event celebrating science,<br />
technology, engineering and mathematics<br />
(STEM) subjects on 8 July.<br />
Red STEM will give 150 students exclusive<br />
access to 20 hands-on activities and<br />
exhibits. All have the aim of showing<br />
STEM subjects’ real-world applications<br />
and bring them to life. Exhibitors ranging<br />
from the Universities of Lincoln and<br />
Sheffield to the NHS and BAE Systems<br />
will present experiences from a mobile<br />
chemotherapy unit to a 3D printer.<br />
National celebrities Jason Bradbury and<br />
Carol Vorderman have both confirmed<br />
their attendance, adding touches of<br />
glamour to the occasion. The <strong>EBP</strong>’s STEM<br />
Coordinator Paula Bailey commented,<br />
“It’s a thrill to be working with famous<br />
experts like Jason and Carol, who will<br />
really help to communicate the excitement<br />
of science, technology, engineering and<br />
maths to students across the county”.<br />
In another recent success, The <strong>EBP</strong>, City<br />
of Lincoln Council and the Lincolnshire<br />
Chamber of Commerce supported the<br />
Spark Engineering Festival at Lincoln<br />
Cathedral. The festival was organised<br />
by local engineering firms including<br />
Siemens, Micrometric and Dynex. Over<br />
400 young people experienced 11 handson<br />
activities offered by local engineering<br />
firms and colleges alongside The <strong>EBP</strong>.<br />
The next opportunity for young people to<br />
engage with real-world applications for<br />
STEM subjects is The <strong>EBP</strong>’s joint event<br />
with Lincoln Group Training Association<br />
(LGTA), Construction Week in autumn.<br />
Primary students have the chance to<br />
‘build’ skills from stonemasonry to<br />
decorating and joinery on 29 September,<br />
with secondary schools rolling up their<br />
sleeves on 30 September and 1 October.<br />

SEEDS OF SUCCESS<br />
Lincolnshire students ‘show’ off great ideas for agriculture<br />
The Lincolnshire Show Schools’ Challenge<br />
has been coordinated for eight years<br />
now by The <strong>EBP</strong> in association with the<br />
Lincolnshire Agricultural Society (LAS).<br />
It introduces young people to innovative<br />
thinking for, and greater understanding of<br />
the agricultural industry.<br />
Open to primary, secondary and special<br />
schools, the challenge falls under The<br />
<strong>EBP</strong>’s Potential for Growth brand.<br />
Student teams select a food, farming,<br />
or sustainability focused challenge,<br />
ultimately presenting their findings to a<br />
panel of experts at the Lincolnshire Show<br />
(24-25 June).<br />
More than 400 young people from over<br />
40 schools across the county will<br />
compete for the title of Schools’<br />
Challenge Champion.<br />
The challenge is also a prime opportunity<br />
for local businesses to demonstrate their<br />
commitment both to the industry and to<br />
young people’s development. Sponsors of<br />
this year’s challenge include The Willows<br />
Garden Centre, Association of Drainage<br />
Authorities, Woldmarsh, Mouchel,<br />
Farmacy PLC and E. Park and Sons.<br />
Sponsoring companies also work with<br />
young people through mentorship<br />
in schools or workshops on the day.<br />
Students prepare the projects at school,<br />
with an expert mentor assigned by LAS.<br />
The teams hold their own exhibition at the<br />
Show and discuss their work with judges,<br />
teachers, students and the public.<br />
Alongside the Schools Challenge, The<br />
<strong>EBP</strong> holds a professional development<br />
workshop for teachers to better equip<br />
them with resources for the classroom.<br />
