A Message of Thanks to the BGU Community
Bishop Grosseteste University is aware of the ongoing press coverage regarding university students within the UK and is constantly monitoring the situation for our students. A small number of staff and students have reported symptoms and the University has ensured that each person has observed the required period of isolation in addition to arranging for a COVID-19 test. So far, we have not had any students or staff attending campus with a positive test result. We would like to thank our community of staff, students, and their families for their combined efforts to limit the spread of the virus, especially now that teaching has resumed. The Students’ Union has been pivotal in liaising with the student body to ensure that we collect and act upon feedback, and this will continue throughout this year. The University has put in place extensive measures to limit the spread of COVID-19, including enhanced cleaning regimes, increased handwashing and sanitising facilities, the wearing of face coverings and extensive signage to promote safe space and social distancing. We have provided clear guidance (see Working Together) on how we can all help each other to stay safe, socialising in groups of up to six and how to tell us if you need to self-isolate and / or get a test. Once you tell us then we will provide advice and support on learning and teaching, living in accommodation and well-being whilst you are self-isolating. We provide 24/7 mental health support to all students, and we encourage everyone who needs to, to use that facility and seek the support of staff including- Student Advice, Chaplaincy, the Students’ Union and tutors. BGU is proud of our community and we are aware that the current limited impact of the virus on campus is down to the responsible behaviour of everybody. Thank you for your help and support.

Awarding UK at BGU Achieves Ofqual Recognition
We are proud to announce that Awarding UK, the End-Point Assessment Service based within Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU), has successfully gained Ofqual Recognition. This is the culmination of many months of hard work and preparation by the Awarding UK team, which qualifies Awarding UK to effectively deliver end-point assessments for a wide range of apprenticeship standards in the education and childcare sectors, extending the current offer from 2 standards to 6. The aim is to continue to develop a portfolio of end-point assessments which builds on the significant expertise already held by BGU in these areas. Emily Hughes, Partnerships Development Manager and Awarding UK Responsible Officer commented: “We believe BGU is the first University in the country to achieve Ofqual Recognition for end-point assessment, and we are proud to be leading the way in enhancing access to education and skills in this way”. Vice-Chancellor, Reverend Canon Professor Peter Neil stated: “Here at BGU, we believe strongly in providing opportunities for people to develop and learn, and end-point assessment is a new and exciting way of allowing us to expand that work. The Awarding UK team have worked tirelessly to ensure that they will deliver the highest quality end-point assessments, and this is a major vote of confidence from Ofqual”. Awarding UK end-point assessment delivery will commence at the start of 2021.

LORIC Centre Announce Second Round of Funding for Lincolnshire Enterprises
Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU) has been successful in securing over £399,030 of grant funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in order to support Small and Medium Enterprises (including self-employed individuals) with data-driven innovation. The project will be delivered by the team at the Lincolnshire Open Research and Innovation Centre (LORIC). LORIC was first opened in 2018 with support from the ERDF and, following the success of the first project, has, to date, supported over 50 companies from various sectors. The funding awarded for the second phase of the LORIC project will enable the team to collaborate with even more beneficiaries than before, as well as expanding on the existing roster of services. Eligible SMEs will be given a minimum of 12 hours of support in the form of consultancy, a dedicated knowledge exchange project, or a digitization endeavour. Alongside that support, the team will also work to facilitate and nurture collaborations between researchers and companies in Greater Lincolnshire. Following the funding acquisition, Professor Scott Fleming, Deputy Vice-Chancellor at BGU, praised the LORIC project for its continued positive impact: “We are delighted that LORIC has been awarded a second phase of European funding. It’s recognition of the impact that the LORIC team has had on the business communities of the city and Greater Lincolnshire. We’re thrilled to be able to take forward the outstanding work that began in 2018 and we’re looking forward to continuing our successful collaborations and establishing exciting new partnerships.” The programme will run from February 2021 to June 2023. For more information on the project, eligibility criteria, and the researcher/business collaboration offer, please visit loric.bishopg.ac.uk. -
Exploring Leadership in Schools: Academic Makes the Most of Lockdown with Double Book Release
Trevor Kerry, Visiting Professor at Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU), has written two books exploring aspects of leadership in schools. Making use of the extra time provided to him by the multiple COVID-19 related lockdowns, his intention was that the books should be intensely practical but, at the same time, a fun read. Additionally, it was his desire that they should be attitude changers, written in episodes to which the reader could return. -
