Annex 2 1 Record of Individual ANNEX 2 RECORD OF INDIVIDUAL COMMENTS Consultation Document Section 3 Your Views Other Issues of Concern ID Comment Tier 1 Local community engagement in developing excellent 2 services 2 The negative effects of disruptive behaviour in the classroom. 2 E.g. the progress of children who want to learn being impeded by disruptions from pupils who do not want to learn. 3 Supply teachers are used far too often. Good teachers should 3 teach and not hand over to supply for the slightest reason,. 4 I feel it is important to keep schools as small as possible, as 3 each pupil receives more individual help and attention. 6 Schools remaining as part of the local community 3 9 Results used to measure success only reflect academy 3 achievement not personal + social concerns. 11 Why has it taken Suffolk so long to realise that 3 tier schools 2 means more cost (ie) 3 schools in a child’s education career compared to 2 and also children in middle schools are unlikely to be to priority at KS2 as they are not at top of school, therefore results are poorer. 16 I have taught in both 2 tier and 3 tier systems and find 2 tier 3 much better particularly for 11-14 year old with a much sounder foundation for G.C.S.E. courses after 3 years in senior school. 24 Having experienced two-tier system as a pupil and as a 3 teacher for 10 yrs and now working in a 3-tier system I strongly believe 2-tier system is better for primary aged children. They are too young to be in a secondary setting. Giving pupils the best start in life. 2/3 33 36 I am totally in support of a 3-tier system. I could tick 3+ boxes 3 above but I am still in favour of the 3-tier system for Suffolk. 41 I feel that there is a flaw in the premise which puts so much 2 weight on changes of school. [Cambridgeshire school] children change school at ages 7, 11 and 16, but their results are good. 42 An appropriate education system not based on the historical 3 model. 43 Teacher workload. 3 Recruitment – particularly Headteachers. 44 The key issue is probably how to create good schools that 2 allow children/students to flourish and achieve high attainments. This is rarely about size or patterns of organisation. 45 Enabling young people to become valuable/valued members 2 of society. Allowing young people to develop intellectually and fulfil their potential. 1 ANNEX 2 46 Feel it very confusing at present with East, West and North 2 areas all different. Feel strongly we should have 1 system for whole county. 49 This pamphlet is incredibly biased and asks leading questions 3 which lead people to 2 tiers. 53 By support – I mean helping parents to be better parents – 3 especially of young children – not providing childcare and thus undermining family time and close family units 54 To manage the points of change in the three tier system more 3 logically to minimise disruption to students during SATs years whilst keeping a system with great merit. 55 That the whole child has a broad and balanced curriculum 3 with specialist teachers wherever possible. 61 The huge difficulties of reorganisation without funding. 3 63 Middle schools provide a supportive ‘mid-education’ point – 3 smaller like primaries, but with specialist teachers like upper schools in a protective nurturing environment. I do not want to see this change because of SATs/GCSE results. 64 Good discipline in schools, generally, across the U.K. No tier Provision of books and equipment without the need to have entered schools fund-raising or collecting coupons from supermarkets etc etc. 67 Pupil + Staff safety within school – Bullying. 3 Letting younger pupils (below 14) retain their childhood free from ‘older pupil’ influences. 68 First year at middle school should have a primary school 3 curriculum and approach to ease transition. 69 Good individual support encouragement for children. 3 Confidence nurtured and achievement encouraged through personal development. 70 For a number of years I ran after school clubs at a number of 2 schools. I was just excluded without any reason and the club ceased to exist. Why! 71 Children are not being taught at home to show respect – both 2 to adults and their peers. 72 Choice of provision focused on the learner. 2 73 As a parent I feel that most children are unable to cope with 3 the secondary system at nine years old. This is made worse by the middle schools attitude to parents. 74 Renewing the work ethic in secondary schools 2/3 75 Special needs students at colleges. 2 Colleges not providing up to date training for these students. What happens when course finishes? 76 -Back to basics teaching of reading, writing and maths for 11 2 year olds to improve. -Stretching + giving extra opportunities for gifted and talented students of all ages (esp. taking extra GCSE’s or early) 77 It would be good if Year 6’s moved onto High Schools after 2 SATs/summer term half term. 78 Age 9 is too young to be faced with the change – for many the 3 logistics of getting kids safely to 2 schools is stressful. 79 At present, our middle schools are run rather like secondary 3 schools. Where has the good primary practice gone from Yrs 2 ANNEX 2 5-6 with specialisation only in art, music and PE? 81 Continuity on student progression through the school system. 3 Children in middle schools seem to be at least a term behind those in a Junior/Secondary system. 90 • Teacher Redundancy 3 • Continuation of government money • Realistic building program 93 Avoid changing schools midway through Keystages, 3 disrupting curriculum learning + possible achievements. 94 I feel children in 3 tier schools may not have the advantage of 3 the new initiatives that the 2 tier model gives. 96 When the changes happen (or if) what the effect will be on the 3 children involved in the changes. This will be both of mine. 100 We have a 15 yr old (High school) 13 yr old (Middle) + 5 yr old 3 (1st School). We think the 5 yr old would miss out if stayed until 11 in 1 school and miss out specialist teaching/facilities eg science labs, music tuition etc all provided so well at Stow Middle. 102 [Middle School Name] Middle is an excellent school. I would 3 much rather my children spend year 5-6 at SMS, rather than a primary school. They will have so many more opportunities. 103 Attention to childs individual needs supervised transport to 3 schools for younger children. 110 Safe + happy environment – comfortable and teachers know 3 the students personally – they are not numbers or too intimidated to speak, less problems with bullying – smaller school and age range less bullying. 114 Concerns when younger children such as year 7 – to be Tier not mixed with year groups up to 18 yrs bad influence. Keep the entered. village schools and the innocence of young children and behaviour in control. 117 Two-tier/Three-tier issue. 3 126 Success criteria is only based on academic results not Tier not personal + social development entered. Keeping good schools going. If its not broken why fix it. 3 132 Reorganisation costs a lot of money. It needs to be an improvement. 134 I was educated in the 3 tier system and it would be a shame to 3 lose it. Having a smaller age gap is less daunting for children. 137 Having taught in two + three tier systems I find the transfer in 2 a three tier system is smoother. 141 Smaller high schools 2 143 1. Avoiding very large schools at secondary level. 3 2. Enabling KS3 children to develop without too much pressure from role models of older teenagers. 148 Too bigger age range in 1 school 3 152 Sixth form provision for children who live outside of Ipswich. 2 154 For many years my children have lived in a two tier system. 3 But I truly believe that the three tier system has created a vastly more socially minded children. 156 Concerned that we are using the 3 tier system as the 3 scapegoat for poor results and failing schools – in our local pyramid which is 3 tier our results are high but then we have good schools with good discipline. 3 ANNEX 2 157 Years 5 & 6 at Middle school should have access to primary 3 practice. As a parent, my two children like the 3-tier system & we prefer our 10 year old to not be in with 16 year olds! We’d also like to respond as parents. 159 I have 4 children in the 3 tier system and definitely think it 3 should be kept. It allows smaller village primary schools to be retained, gives an easy transition to excellent middle schools with social development and academic [CONTINUED OVER 161 My experience of working in both 2 tier and 3 tier systems is 2 that young people are noticeably held back academically, socially & behaviourally in 3 tier system. Splitting KS3 is irrational. 165 POINTED QUESTIONS: 3 tier better 3 167 Middle schools keep students immature. They take most of yr 3 9 to grow up & seem very childish and irresponsible, see themselves as primary. 169 I am very concerned about the low achievement of 11 year 3 olds in Suffolk. The 3 tier system seems to be costly and not giving value for money.

  • The East's Institute of Technology
    The East’s Institute of Technology Our Vision To create a skills pipeline; drawing young people into technical careers through the offer of attractive and aspirational career pathways; providing the East’s higher-value Advanced Manufacturing, Agri- Tech, Engineering, Energy, and Digital businesses with a reliable and sustainable supply of technical professionals. This can be achieved by creating The East’s Institute of Technology (IoT). The East’s IoT model has drawn from existing models from around the world such as: Community Colleges (America and Canada); Polytechnics (UK); Institutes of Technology (Republic of Ireland) and individual examples such as the Centre for Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence (UK), Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (UK), the Rotterdam Academy and Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (Holland) and University of the Highlands and Islands (UK). It recognises that the “training-work-retirement” model is no longer applicable to our fast-moving new skills, new jobs industries; and so The East’s IoT seeks to provide technical education and training that ensures the area’s workforce is reactive and able adjust their skills in response to labour-market needs. Applying Our Vision to the Eastern Region The IoT model, though founded on extensive research and experience, must be flexible when applied to a region like the East of England. The Eastern region, home to 5.8 million people and worth £146 billion, is far from homogenous; it has a unique mix of urban, rural and coastal communities, all with distinct needs. The East’s IoT will unite the rural and urban pockets of the East into a ‘virtual learning city’, thereby delivering a custom skills solution capable of meeting the needs of the region overall.

  • West Suffolk College Access and Participation Plan 2019-20
    West Suffolk College Access and Participation Plan 2019-20 WEST SUFFOLK COLLEGE UKPRN: 10007431 Introduction and the Local Context This plan outlines West Suffolk College’s (WSC) intentions to provide fair access to all of its HEFCE-funded full-time and part-time undergraduate programmes. The College fully appreciates the importance of supporting students throughout the duration of their studies at the College and this Plan provides reassurance to the students of the College’s commitment. WSC, based in Bury St Edmunds, has been delivering degrees to students for many years but always in partnership with a university. For the last 10 years this partnership has been through the Learning Network Partnership of the University of Suffolk (UoS) and the students studying at WSC are enrolled as UoS students. In 2018, the College was granted direct funding status and is now intending to broaden out its HE opportunities to respond to the needs identified by the regional community and employer network. This Access and Participation Plan will refer only to the students enrolled directly as West Suffolk College HE students. With the recently acquired direct funding status WSC intends to be a centre of excellence for higher education, providing opportunity for its own level 3 students, those from sixth forms across the region and developing courses to meet the skills gap identified across East Anglia by the region’s employers. The College will work closely with regional employers, the LEP and other organisations in order to broaden the opportunities for post-16 education. The College has made it a priority to focus on recruitment from under-represented communities, providing opportunity for access, success and progression.

  • Safeguarding Update – COVID 19
    March 2020: Safeguarding Update – COVID 19 Any updated advice received from the local safeguarding partners? Safeguarding update from Suffolk County Council: Safeguarding information for schools Where we have safeguarding concerns about a child and/or family should we keep in contact with them? Where there are safeguarding concerns about a child, the school should continue to undertake regular checks to make sure the child is safe and well. This contact should be in line with the guidance above. Where the school are aware of social care or early help involvement, they should continue communicating with professionals involved. Should we be undertaking welfare checks on students and if so, how often should these been done? If you feel that there is a safeguarding concern around the child, it may be appropriate to undertake welfare checks on the child. Outside of this we would expect schools to follow their usual procedures when dealing with children who are absent from school due to illness. Any updated advice received from local authorities regarding children with education, health and care (EHC) plans, the local authority designated officer and children’s social care, reporting mechanisms, referral thresholds and children in need? No change to this advice. What should staff and volunteers do if they have any concerns about a student? If you are concerned about a student, please continue to use My Concern in the normal way. If you believe a student is at immediate risk of significant harm please contact the DSL or Deputy DSL as usual. DSL (and deputy) arrangements: Both the DSL and Deputy DSL have remote access to the My Concern Platform and continue to be available during the college week for any support required.
