  • KS5 Transition Information Thinking Beyond Bonus Pastor: a Student Guide
    Name: ____________________ KS5 Transition Information Thinking Beyond Bonus Pastor: A Student Guide Ms Hill – Leader of CEIAG and KS5 Transition [email protected] Today you have taken part in a KS5 Transition Meeting which I hope that you found interesting and insightful. The aim of this meeting was to get you thinking beyond Bonus Pastor. You will receive a copy of the Personal Action Plan that we created together in the meeting. Keep this together with the attached information, and use it to help guide you through the KS5 Transition process. If you or your parents/carers have any questions at any time, please email me – no question is a silly question! Qualifications Explained – What Can I Apply For? You are currently studying for GCSEs which are Level 1 or 2 qualifications, depending on what grades you achieve at the end of Year 11. Generally speaking: if you are forecast to achieve GCSEs at grades 1 - 4 then you can apply for Level 1 or 2 BTEC courses or an intermediate level apprenticeship. Once you have completed this you can progress to Level 3 courses. if you are forecast to achieve GCSEs at grades 4 or above then you can apply to study A Levels, Level 3 BTEC courses, or intermediate level or advanced level apprenticeships. (Most A Level courses will require you to have at least a grade 5 or 6 in the subjects you wish to study.) However if you are applying for a vocational trade-based course such as Hair and Beauty, Motor Vehicle Mechanics or Electrical Installation, all courses start at Level 1 and then progress up to Level 2 and 3 courses.

It is important to the life of its residents and to the development of Lewisham as a strong and vibrant place to live and work. The council recognises this and in establishing this Education Commission was seeking to ensure that the significant advances so evident in primary schools over recent years were consolidated and extended to the secondary sector. It is clear from all we have done in undertaking this Commission that school improvement and raising educational outcomes, most particularly for young people in the secondary sector, are top priorities for the council, as indeed they must be for Lewisham itself. The establishment of an Education Commission underlines their importance to the council and seeks to accelerate change by bringing in an external team to work collaboratively with local stakeholders to shape a vision for education in Lewisham and make recommendations to the Mayor and to the community of schools in Lewisham for future development.
