What Next... Information for Care Leavers and Young People in Care 2017 VIRTUAL SCHOOL CiC What Next... Information for care leavers and young people in care 2017 A guide to the support available in further education www.hants.gov.uk/yourfuture www.hants.gov.uk/cic-virtual-school 1 www.hants.gov.uk/educationandlearning/yourfuture/workingandtraining/careershelp Forward VIRTUAL SCHOOL CiC This resource has been put together to support young people, their carers, school and social worker to make choices about ‘What’s Next…?’ when year 11 comes to an end at school. There are many choices to make regarding the future: to stay in education to gain more qualifications or enter the working world? This can be based on a career ambition, a subject enjoyment or other circumstances affecting this decision. Whatever the choice, it will bring opportunities, a chance to develop new skills, gain more confidence and meet new people. It is important to start the conversation about post 16 options early; the earlier we start this conversation to talk about things the young person is good at, enjoys and what they want to do for a living, the better prepared they will be to make the right choices. Adults can offer support to young people about to leave school by: • Taking the time to understand and alleviate any fears. • Reassuring them that there is support and they will not be on their own (whether this is about money or study support). • Encouraging them to attend taster days and open days – if possible go with them! • Encouraging them to talk to named contacts to find out more. • Keeping in touch once they start a post 16 pathway – they will still require support and a friendly face. The aim of this resource is to detail what post 16 providers can offer care leavers and young people in care when they opt for their post 16 provision. The booklet is designed in an easy to use format in the style of a directory; this is so you can see at a glance the specific support the provider can offer and a named contact. We hope that you find this resource useful in supporting young people in care and care leavers with their post 16 options.

  • St Vincent College
    Integrated quality and enhancement review Summative review St Vincent College June 2010 SR104/2009 © The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education 2010 ISBN 978 1 84979 206 6 All QAA's publications are available on our website www.qaa.ac.uk Registered charity numbers 1062746 and SC037786 St Vincent College Preface The mission of the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) is to safeguard the public interest in sound standards of higher education qualifications and to inform and encourage continual improvement in the management of the quality of higher education. As part of this mission, QAA undertakes reviews of higher education provision delivered in further education colleges. This process is known as Integrated quality and enhancement review (IQER). Purpose of IQER Higher education programmes delivered by further education colleges (colleges) lead to awards made by higher education institutions or Edexcel. The awarding bodies retain ultimate responsibility for maintaining the academic standards of their awards and assuring the quality of the students' learning opportunities. The purpose of IQER is, therefore, to safeguard the public interest in the academic standards and quality of higher education delivered in colleges. It achieves this by providing objective and independent information about the way in which colleges discharge their responsibilities within the context of their partnership agreements with awarding bodies. IQER focuses on three core themes: academic standards, quality of learning opportunities and public information. The IQER process IQER is a peer review process. It is divided into two complementary stages: Developmental engagement and Summative review. In accordance with the published method, colleges with less than 100 full-time equivalent students funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) may elect not to take part in Developmental engagements, but all HEFCE-funded colleges will take part in Summative review.

    PORTSMOUTH TRAVEL ASSISTANCE STATEMENT FOR POST 16 LEARNERS WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND DISABILITIES April 2021 Section one: Introduction 1. Portsmouth City Council and its partners have written this Transport Statement to ensure that young people aged 16-19 in Portsmouth are informed and supported with regard to the transport that is available to them to help them access their learning. 2. This statement has been written in accordance with Section 509 of the Education Act 1996 (amended by 2002 Act) and amendments made to the 1996 Act by the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009 (Sections 54 and 57).

    Appeals data September 2019 entry - secondary schools This table shows, by school, the number of individual admission appeals heard for entry to Year 7 in September 2019 and the number of these which were upheld (i.e. the parent’s appeal was successful). Independent appeals for admission to community secondary schools are organised by Hampshire County Council whilst independent appeals for admission to foundation, aided and academy schools are organised by the school's governing body. Where a community secondary school is not shown in the list there were no appeals heard. Not all foundation, aided or academy schools have provided appeals information to date, therefore, where a foundation, aided or academy school is not shown in the list it does not necessarily indicate that no appeals were heard.
