  • The Sheffield College
    REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE The Sheffield College July 1996 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council has a legal duty to make sure further education in England is properly assessed. The FEFC’s inspectorate inspects and reports on each college of further education every four years. The inspectorate also assesses and reports nationally on the curriculum and gives advice to the FEFC’s quality assessment committee. College inspections are carried out in accordance with the framework and guidelines described in Council Circular 93/28. They involve full-time inspectors and registered part-time inspectors who have knowledge and experience in the work they inspect. Inspection teams normally include at least one member who does not work in education and a member of staff from the college being inspected. Cheylesmore House Quinton Road Coventry CV1 2WT Telephone 01203 863000 Fax 01203 863100 © FEFC 1996 You may photocopy this report. CONTENTS Paragraph Summary Introduction 1 The college and its aims 2 Responsiveness and range of provision 8 Governance and management 21 Students’ recruitment, guidance and support 31 Teaching and the promotion of learning 44 Students’ achievements 60 Quality assurance 75 Resources 86 Conclusions and issues 101 Figures GRADE DESCRIPTORS The procedures for assessing quality are set out in the Council Circular 93/28. During their inspection, inspectors assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Their assessments are set out in the reports. They also use a five-point grading scale to summarise the balance between strengths and weaknesses. The descriptors for the grades are: • grade 1 – provision which has many strengths and very few weaknesses • grade 2 – provision in which the strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses • grade 3 – provision with a balance of strengths and weaknesses • grade 4 – provision in which the weaknesses clearly outweigh the strengths • grade 5 – provision which has many weaknesses and very few strengths.

Partner commitment 2 Overview 1. This document is submitted by [requires here a summary of who is submitting the document and who will operate etc the DVUC]. 2. Dearne Valley University Centre (DVUC) will be a major Higher Education centre, with up to 1000 FTE students by 2013/14, for the deprived Dearne Valley at the geographical centre of Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham, boroughs with a combined population of 800,000 but with no university. 3. DVUC will widen participation by young people; offer adults a second chance to gain the HE qualifications that they and employers need; and contribute to regeneration of the Dearne Valley. 4. POLAR data from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) 1994- 2000, show that only 21.4% of those aged 18 in the Dearne Valley entered HE compared with 45.2% in England. And in Census 2001 only 9% of working age adults held degrees compared with 21% in England. The relative position in the Dearne has changed little since then.

  • Your Place at University – Student Guide
    Your Place at University Finding your way through the university application process A guide for Students Introduction Going to university is an exciting experience. However, the application process can be confusing, with so much information available and so many choices to make. This guide is not intended to provide step by step instructions on how to apply, but is instead a companion for you as you go through the application process. It aims to demystify some of the common areas of confusion and to help you avoid the pitfalls. Some students have to overcome significant barriers to reach university. Many universities view applications from these students in a positive way. They recognise that such applicants must have high levels of motivation and determination to achieve what they have achieved. In researching this guide we talked to staff in universities to understand what it is they really look for in potential students, as well as teachers and tutors in schools and colleges who support students through the process of applying to university. We have also held discussion groups with students who have gone through, or are getting ready to go through, the application process themselves. The key messages are clear: Research courses and universities thoroughly Apply early Make sure your application is the best that it can be We hope you find this guide useful and we wish you every success in your studies and future career.
