Ibstock Academy Launches at Walsall College to Support the Next Generation of Construction Talent and Community Growth

Ibstock Plc, a UK leading manufacturer of building products, has officially launched its pilot Ibstock Academy at Walsall College, marking a key milestone in its commitment to supporting construction skills across the sector.

The Academy was unveiled at a ribbon-cutting ceremony held at Walsall College’s Green Lane Campus, attended by students, educators, and representatives from across the industry – including Keon Homes, West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA), Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) and the Home Builders Federation (HBF).

The ceremony was led by James Norris, Assistant Principal – Commercial Development and Jo Hodge, Ibstock’s HR, Sustainability and Social Impact Director, who formally opened the Academy.

As the first building materials manufacturer to have joined the HBF’s Partner a College programme, Ibstock is taking a leading role in bridging the gap between education and employment. The Academy will initially support brick laying students with practical, job-ready training that reflects the pace, high quality standards, and safety expectations of construction.

Jo Hodge, HR, Sustainability and Social Impact Director at Ibstock Plc, said: “For over two hundred years, Ibstock has served its customers and the wider construction industry. We recognise that skills are one of the biggest challenges facing the sector, and we are committed to playing our part. The Ibstock Academy will bring business and education together to support students in their development. We are committed to bring industry insights and reinforce on-site safety and quality in their full-time training to help students build meaningful careers in construction. Walsall is a strategically important location for us, and we’re proud to invest in its future.”

The launch of the Ibstock Academy comes on the heels of Ibstock’s latest £64 million investment into its new Atlas brick factory in the Walsall area, which now produces the Group’s lowest carbon bricks using state-of-the-art technology. The rebuild created around 50 new jobs and three apprenticeships and has placed the local community at the heart of its operations from day one of the build.

As part of its broader social impact strategy, Ibstock has also piloted a Work 4 Homes programme in Walsall to inspire and support local social housing residents into employment, alongside other community initiatives aimed at building inclusive pathways into the built environment.

The Ibstock Academy at Walsall College is the first pilot of its kind for the Ibstock Group and will serve as a blueprint for future partnerships between manufacturers and colleges across the UK.

James Norris, Assistant Principal – Commercial Development commented: “Walsall College has actively invested in its construction facilities in recent years to better meet the needs of local employers and the construction sector. The Ibstock Academy exemplifies how partnerships forged between further education colleges and industry enhance our contribution to skills development.

“This new learning environment inspires students and apprentices to deepen their knowledge of the sector while preparing them effectively for the world of work. It reinforces vital values such as site safety, sustainability, and quality, creating a solid foundation for success in their careers.

“By nurturing a diverse pipeline of talent, we are enabling future workforces to support new homebuilding schemes as well as wider regeneration and infrastructure projects currently underway and planned throughout the West Midlands.”

Students Take the First Step to Top Universities

Hundreds of young learners were recently invited to attend the launch of the Swansea Seren Hub for 2025/26, where they were able to find out more about the skills needed to apply to the UK’s top universities.

The event, led by Gower College Swansea and Swansea University and held at the Great Hall on the latter’s Bay Campus, was attended by over 300 students from the College and local sixth form schools, many of whom were joined by their parents and guardians.

After an introductory welcome given by Dr Emma Smith – the College’s Academic Enrichment Manager and the Swansea Seren Coordinator – the stage was handed over to Gower College Swansea’s Vice Principal for Curriculum, Quality, Teaching and Learning, Nikki Neale, and Swansea University’s Executive Dean and Pro-Vice Chancellor for the Faculty of Science and Engineering, Professor David Smith.

Nikki and David talked about the many benefits to young people of getting involved with the Swansea Seren Hub, from both a higher education and further education viewpoint.

Alumni Cosima Wohlschlegel and Megan Salter both took to the stage to share how Seren had provided them with opportunities to develop their passion for their subjects as well as supporting them in their applications to universities.

Cosima talked with enthusiasm about the range of super-curriculars she has undertaken through the Seren Academy that will help her apply to Oxford University to study Biology. Megan was able to inspire the audience with a description of her academic journey from Gower College Swansea to Swansea University, where she is now starting a PhD.

“The Swansea Seren Hub allows for a super-curricular exploration of subjects which is vital in developing students’ academic curiosity and intellectual flexibility,” says Emma. “Our launch event is a great example of the strong working partnership which exists between the Seren Academy, the College, the University, and the seven Swansea schools – a collaboration which aims to widen the participation of young people who aspire to apply to top higher education institutions.”

After the talks, students were invited into breakout areas where – led by Swansea University academics – they took part in taster masterclasses. Parents and guardians were also able to take part in a Q&A with the panel of speakers including Emma Turner, Swansea University’s Associate Head of Inbound Recruitment Team.

Seren is a Welsh Government initiative dedicated to helping Wales’ brightest learners achieve their full academic potential in the UK and overseas. Available to all academically able learners from Year 8 to Year 13, the Seren Academy offers interactive sessions and unique study experiences to help students make informed decisions about applying to leading universities.

This includes advice and guidance workshops from Oxford and Cambridge admissions tutors, university admissions preparations sessions, access to subject masterclasses led by university academics, and residentials in Oxford and Cambridge.

Gower College Swansea was recently named by the Daily Mail as one of the Top 30 UK state schools / colleges for getting young people into Cambridge and Oxford universities.

University Centre Peterborough Among First Wave of Providers for the Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE)

University Centre Peterborough, part of Inspire Education Group (IEG), has been confirmed as one of the first Higher Education providers in the UK to deliver under the new Lifelong Learning Entitlement (LLE) initiative. A major milestone in the Government’s vision to make higher education more flexible, accessible, and responsive to employer needs.

Only Higher Education providers with Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) Silver recognition and Office for Students (OfS) registration are part of this initial delivery group, marking University Centre’s inclusion as a significant achievement that highlights the quality of provision and outstanding student outcomes.

 

Launching from January 2027, the LLE will allow individuals to access funding for modular study, enabling those already in employment to enhance their skills and knowledge in areas such as business development, artificial intelligence, cyber security, counselling, research, and more.

University Centre Peterborough has already re-designed its degree provision to ensure flexibility for this new model of learning and is inviting employers to collaborate in developing modular pathways that respond directly to workforce needs.

 

Liz Knight, Academic Director at University Centre Peterborough, said:
“The Lifelong Learning Entitlement is a significant development, and being in the first wave of approved HE providers is a great testament to the quality of UCP provision and our excellent student outcomes. The ability to study funded modules in specific subjects means that those in employment can upskill and improve their career progression.

It also means that mature learners or those wishing to try higher education before committing to a full degree can do so. Our proactive approach to working with employers, students, and alumni is key to making the LLE a success and ensuring our offer addresses skills gaps and prepares students for the ever-changing employment market.”

As part of Inspire Education Group, which also includes Peterborough College and Stamford College, University Centre Peterborough offers a complete learning journey for students, starting from Level 1 right through to Level 7. This unique structure enables the Group to provide cohesive training and education pathways tailored to both individual learners and employer demand across the region.

Building on the recent success of IEG’s employer and business awards across Peterborough and Stamford, this development further strengthens the Group’s commitment to driving regional skills growth and economic development through education and collaboration.

“The growth and diversification we have seen across IEG over the last few years is a testament to the vision, hard work and commitment of governors and staff across the organisation.

“There is more for us to do as we continue to support employers with their skills and workforce challenges, as well as do our absolute best for the communities we serve. For now, thank you to all of our brilliant students, staff, governors, employers and partners.”

College Alumni’s Short Film Selected for Prestigious International Festival

A short film created by recent alumni of Buckinghamshire College Group has been officially selected for the Bournemouth International Film Festival, where it will compete in the Best UK Short Film category. 

The film, Tomorrow Never Knows, was developed as a passion project shortly after the team completed their studies on our Level 3 Film and Television course. It explores themes of identity, pressure, and the uncertainty of the future. The narrative follows a young man named Alan, who is propelled into a series of imagined futures after being asked a simple question about what lies ahead. As he navigates these visions, he is forced to confront the expectations placed upon him and the fear of the unknown. 

The film was written, directed, and edited by Alex Hogarth, with Korben Wilkinson serving as cinematographer, Finlay Jordan as sound recordist, and Felix Pridmore as script supervisor. The production was supported by runners Lara Dervish, Molly Humphrey, Michael Adams, and Bailey Burdock. 

This selection marks a significant achievement for the team and reflects the high standard of creative and technical training provided by the College’s Film & TV programme. 

The production group credits much of their development to the guidance and expertise of their tutors, Nick Evans and Attila Kiraly, both of whom are active professionals in the film and television industry, and who played a significant role in shaping their technical skills and creative confidence. 

The graduates have remained in contact with their former mentors, proudly sharing the news of their festival selection and ongoing creative work. Chris Burgess, Media Technician at Buckinghamshire College Group, commented:

“It’s incredibly rewarding to see our former students achieving recognition at this level so soon after graduating. Their success with Tomorrow Never Knows reflects not only their talent and determination, but also the collaborative spirit and professionalism they developed during their time with us. It also reflects the strength of our curriculum and industry insight we strive to provide. We’re all very proud of them.” 

Alex Hogarth, writer and director, offered his own perspective on the project and his journey since leaving college:

Tomorrow Never Knows was a valuable learning experience for all of us and a true reflection of the phase of life we’re in. It’ll be something special to look back on, and it wouldn’t have been possible without an incredible team. Alongside my collaborators, I’m also deeply grateful to the College. Nick, Chris, and Attila are outstanding tutors who champion individuality and creative risk-taking. Staying in touch with them since graduating and receiving their advice has been amazing. We already have several new projects in early pre-production that we can’t wait to share. We’re growing more ambitious, hoping to help inspire and support the next generation of filmmakers.” 

Reflecting on the team’s journey, Nick Evans, Film & TV tutor, added:

“This is very exciting! It’s also no surprise. Alex, Korben, Fin, and Felix have always been driven by that rare combination of a passion for filmmaking, sheer hard work, curiosity, and a refusal to settle for second best. Great storytelling for the screen isn’t magic; it comes from understanding that it is a meticulous craft—one that must be learned, practised, and mastered—combined with an unwavering ambition to make sense of the world. This is exactly what we aim to support our Film & TV students with here at Buckinghamshire College Group. If we can continue working with passionate, committed young people like this, we’ll be very happy.” 

Attila Kiraly, also a tutor on the course, commented on the artistic influences behind the film:

“I’m incredibly proud of our graduates. Their hard work and creativity truly shine through in this film, drawing inspiration from the French New Wave and the experimental techniques they explored while studying at Buckinghamshire College Group. From unconventional editing choices to bold visual storytelling, they’ve consistently pushed themselves artistically. It’s fantastic to see their talent and dedication recognised on such a prominent platform.” 

The Bournemouth International Film Festival is known for showcasing emerging voices in cinema and attracting entries from across the UK and beyond. The inclusion of Tomorrow Never Knows in this year’s programme highlights the growing impact of independent work produced by early-career filmmakers on the wider film industry. 

We are incredibly proud of our graduates and excited to see what comes next. Their journey is only just beginning, and with talent like this, the Oscars may well be in sight!

College Proud to Support Adult Learners’ Week 2025

Gower College Swansea has marked Adult Learners’ Week 2025 with a series of special events, free courses and taster sessions.

Adult Learners’ Week (ALW) is the biggest celebration of lifelong learning in Wales, with over 10,000 adults taking part each year. The campaign is coordinated by the Learning and Work Institute in collaboration with Welsh Government and other partners.

The campaign aims to inspire more people to discover a passion for learning and develop skills for work and throughout life.

To mark the launch of the week, the College was delighted to welcome Welsh rugby icon and ALW ambassador Alun Wyn Jones to the Jubilee Court campus where he dropped in on a carpentry class, joining adult learners to highlight the transformative power of education at any stage of life.

While there, Alun Wyn was joined by Inspire! Learning Award winner and former College student Isaac Fabb, who has now secured employment with Swansea Council as an apprentice carpenter.

At a Skills for the Workplace launch event at Sketty Hall Business School, attendees heard from Interim Principal Paul Kift, Jane Lewis from the Regional Learning & Skills Partnership (RLSP), and the College’s Head of GCS Training, Bruce Fellowes.

There was also a panel discussion on the benefits of workforce development hosted by the College’s Business Development Consultant Stuart Davies and featuring Jonathan Morris from Tai Tarian, Lucy Hole from the Secret Hospitality Group, and Jane Lewis.

The Skills for the Workplace project, which offers training in advanced and smart manufacturing, digital and ICT, energy and renewables, construction, and health and care is part funded by the Skills and Talent Programme through the Regional Learning & Skills Partnership and Swansea Bay City Deal.

Almost 200 people registered for the College’s adult learners’ open evening at the Tycoch Campus, which covered a range of courses from part time provision to Access and higher education options. Subjects on offer included maths, English and science GCSEs, hair and beauty, engineering, and catering. Visitors were able to speak to lecturers and gain advice from the College’s partner organisations such as Swansea Council and Careers Wales.

Free tasters took place across the Swansea area, with learners able to sign up for creative skills sessions including patchwork, sashiko embroidery, and knitting. Help was also on hand for those needing assistance with filling out forms, online safety and budgeting

These courses, which took place out and about in the community, were a great way for adult learners to boost their confidence and wellbeing, discover a new passion, or simply connect with like-minded individuals.

Online webinars were also available in advice and guidance, community development and project management qualifications.

Gower College Swansea offers courses for adults throughout the year. Through its Skills for Swansea programme, courses are available for individuals aged 19 and above who are looking to retrain and upskill in a variety of industry sectors such as digital, health and safety, customer service and facilities management.

College Learners to Reap the Benefits of Donated Bike from Staffordshire Police

Motor vehicle learners from Stoke on Trent College are set to benefit from the donation of a seized nuisance bike from Staffordshire Police.

The bike will be used as an educational tool that learners will be able to examine and use within practical teaching sessions from Level 1 up to Level 3 qualifications.

The donation continues an exciting collaboration between the College, Staffordshire Police and Stoke-on-Trent City Council.

Hassan Rizvi, Principal & CEO at Stoke on Trent College said:

“The opportunity to gain hands-on experience using this bike and other vehicles is vital to the development of practical skills, which ensures our motor vehicle learners are skills ready, future ready.

“I’d like to thank partners at Staffordshire Police and Stoke-on-Trent City Council for their generous donation of the bike.

“The College’s Motor Vehicle courses continue to be extremely popular and we are proud to lead on the local and regional offer in line with the Local Skills Improvement Plan.”

Stoke-on-Trent City Council and Staffordshire Police continue to collaborate on Operation Transom, a campaign focused on helping to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on Staffordshire’s roads.

The work aims to target those who are damaging public green spaces and putting the public at risk through the illegal use of off-road motorbikes.

As part of the ongoing commitment to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB), increased patrols continue to take place in hotspot areas and the seizing of bikes used to commit ASB.

Councillor Majid Khan, cabinet member for safe and resilient communities, said: “It’s fantastic to see this nuisance bike now being put to good use – supporting students in the city instead of causing problems in our communities.

 “Nuisance bikes bring real misery to residents and this behaviour is simply unacceptable. Working with Staffordshire Police, we’ve put robust measures in place so vehicles being used in a way that causes alarm, distress or annoyance can be seized.

 “Our anti-social behaviour team will keep gathering evidence and the police have assured us they will continue to take firm action against anyone who chooses to cause disruption.”

Inspector Chris Moss, from Staffordshire Police’s Road Crime team, said: “I’m pleased that this motorbike is being put back into the community for positive use and I hope it proves valuable for young people’s education.

“Those that choose to use an illegal vehicle or drive dangerously put other road users and pedestrians at risk. We’ll take action against them as we carry on working proactively to tackle this.”

To report a nuisance bike call Staffordshire Police on 101 or visit their website here – https://www.staffordshire.police.uk/ro/report/asb/asb-v3/report-antisocial-behaviour/
