Yours Sincerely John Roberts Deputy Head 17th October 2019 Dear Parent/Guardian Post 16 Evening Colleges, Schools, Training Agencies and Our Careers Advisor Wednesday 6th November 2019, 6.00pm to 7.30pm Years 10 and 11 The Venue, Uffculme School I am writing to invite pupils and parents to our Post 16 Evening. This is an important opportunity for direct contact with numerous Post 16 providers with the focus being on placements in full and part time education. It is essential that students start planning their next step: college or apprenticeship, “A” levels or Btec, what subjects to take, what GCSE exam grades are required to get onto their desired course, etc. For those who are thinking of going on to study for a degree, it will be useful to talk to the colleges who provide degree courses about what qualifications and grades will be needed to get on the course you may be interested in. There will be several important decisions that you will need to make over the next couple of years; sooner than you perhaps expect. Please try and give yourselves time by finding out as much information as you can in advance. It is also useful to find out what additional skills and experiences universities, colleges and employers want to see on CVs and personal statements while there is still time to achieve them: relevant work experience, D of E, volunteering etc. The list of Colleges, Schools, and Agencies who are attending is overleaf. th I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday, 6 November.

I am writing to confirm the tcome of the FE Commissioner Structure and Prospect · Appraisal of your Colle , and to set out the actions we now expect the College to take to ensure the Appraisal outcomes, and the FE Commissioner's earlier assessment, are fully implemented. I am very grateful for the support that the FE Commissioner has received from yourself and the College during the Appraisal, and the steps you have taken to date to respond to the recommendations in my predecessor's letter of 22 April 2014. As you are aware, in light of the notification by the Skills Funding Agency that the College's financial health is inadequate, the FE Commissioner reviewed the position of your College between 17 and 28 March 2014. The FE Commissioner acknowledged the capacity and capability of the governance and leadership to deliver financial recovery in the short term, but concluded that the College could not continue to operate on its own. The FE Commissioner was asked to lead a Structure and Prospects Appraisal to determine the way forward for land-based provision in the area. This Appraisal was completed in September 2014. I have now received the FE Commissioner's Appraisal report - a copy of which is attached.

SEND S has previously been assessed by DCC Behaviour Support worker as unable to access any other means of transport to get him to college. I feel that this is the case at this moment in time. I am working with S in conjunction with the Community Enablement Team to reassess him and support him to use public transport.

In particular, at a time when the raising of the Signposting to participation age is having the unintended consequence of leading families to the belief that learners advice and might need to stay on in their current schools with 6th forms, any bureaucracy that tends to reinforce support that misconception, or emphasise alternatives is unhelpful.

  • The UPC Story Second Edition
    The UPC Story Second Edition The continuing development of University of Plymouth Colleges Revised by Mark Stone and Adrian Lee University of Plymouth January 2010 UPC Story Cover v3.indd 1 22/12/2009 10:17:14 UPC Story The development of the University of Plymouth Colleges Faculty; a national and internationally recognised network delivering high quality HE in FE opportunities and success for learners and the South West region. An overview The recognisable start of the University of Plymouth Colleges story began in the mid 1970s. During the late 1970s and early 1980s relationships started to develop between Plymouth Polytechnic and a small number of Further Education Colleges [FECs] in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. There was a trend for colleges to further develop and extend day-release programmes and at the same time to move into general vocational education, including: training schemes for the unemployed, vocational preparation programmes and academic education in the form of ‘A’ levels. Even with these modest developments, by the early 1980s, nationally around 20% of HE students were in FECs. The mid-70s also saw the first Access programmes, originally in the inner London area but they quickly grew to cover the country and involved links between Polytechnics and local FECs. This was accompanied by an increase in demand, particularly from mature students, women returners and people in employment for locally-available higher education [HE] opportunities. This was a significant development as further partnerships and franchises of higher education courses developed from such agreements. Since this time, UPC has grown from its modest start in 1989 when the newly named Polytechnic South West recognised that the opportunities for higher level study in the region’s scattered rural environment were limited.
