We would like to invite Parents and Carers to attend the information fair on Wednesday 25th November from 3-4pm. Parking will be available on the tennis courts on the main school site.

Bishop Grosseteste University Access and Participation Plan 2020-21 to 2024-25
Bishop Grosseteste University Access and Participation Plan 2020-21 to 2024-25 The Access and Participation Plan (APP) for Bishop Grosseteste University (BGU or the University) has been informed by specific institutional history and context. It also reflects a long-standing commitment to increasing access and widening participation locally (especially), as well as regionally and nationally. Established in 1862 as an Anglican teacher training college for women, BGU achieved Taught Degree Awarding Powers in 2006 and full university status in 2012. The academic portfolio focuses on teacher development, humanities and social sciences. There are over 2,300 students, predominantly drawn from Greater Lincolnshire and the East Midlands region, across Foundation Degree programmes (n=177 students), Honours Undergraduate awards (n=1,555), PGCE teacher education and training (n=338), Masters degrees (n=250) and Doctorates (n=31). The University’s mission emphasises its role in: • enabling all students to achieve the highest possible standard in their field of study; • providing life-enriching opportunities for our students; • recognising in our students, aspiration and achievements and provide opportunities for self- development; • fostering an ethos in which individuals are valued and diversity is celebrated. As a widening-participation Higher Education Institution (HEI), BGU provides excellent education opportunities and enables the achievement of positive outcomes for a wide range of students. Since 2013/14 the proportion of all undergraduate and PGCE students who identified with at least one of the under-represented learner groups (i.e. POLAR4 Q1, BAME, mature, and students with a known disability) has fluctuated between 57% and 64%. The most recent data available shows overall undergraduate continuation at 94% (2016-17), attainment of upper degrees (2.1 and 1st class honours) at 69% (2017-18), and progression to highly skilled employment / further study at 72% (2016-17).

Next steps 30 Acknowledgments 33 4 Shaping the digital future of FE and skills Introduction Introduction In March 2020, colleges in the UK closed their doors and rapidly moved to wholescale remote learning and teaching. Emergency IT infrastructure and software was brought in at pace, along with fast-track digital upskilling for staff and learners. Such upheaval posed a challenge for many but most prevailed with their best endeavour. Within a matter of days, most learners could log into live-streamed lectures or later watch the recording; they could download e-books, videos or other resources; and they could submit work online. Although this kind of studying was typical during lockdown, the use of technology was often simplistic and not always as engaging, exciting or collaborative as it could be. It sufficed as a stopgap but we need a more ambitious model for the future. And at present, in the absence of readily available, affordable, accessible and engaging digital resources and assessment tools, such as immersive virtual reality, there are courses, such as engineering, construction, or hospitality and catering, which are impossible to deliver entirely online.

Lincolnshire Farm Trust
Lincolnshire Farm Trust. De Montfort University, Leicester took over the running of both Caythorpe and Riseholme Agricultural Colleges from Lincolnshire County Council once the College became incorporated (alongside all Further Education Colleges nationally) in 1994. De Montfort University were chosen in preference to the newly established University of Lincoln because the then Principal of the Riseholme College, John Moverley, was afraid that University of Lincoln, recently established and short of cash, would asset strip. Very prophetic! However, there was nonetheless much concern in the County; particularly that a Leicester-based University could sell everything and the money and the physical assets would disappear to Leicester and we would have no Agricultural Education here in Lincolnshire, the premier agricultural County in the UK. As a consequence of this, the Farm Trust was set up under which a Panel was established, under the Chairmanship of Sir Henry Neville . The current members of the Panel are myself as Chairman and Julian Proctor (both members of the Panel since its inception) along with Vice Chairman Mark Leggott, Michael Brearley, Mark Ireland and Jack Ward. The Panel members are united in their common mission to ensure that the land and facilities are retained for the benefit of land based further education students in Lincolnshire. The establishment of the Farm Trust ensured that De Montfort University were bound by an "Asset Deed" and a separate trust document which stated that if any assets were to be sold, the approval of the Panel would be required, and any cash realised had to be used for the purposes of land-based Further Education.

ESF & Government- Funded Training & Support
European Social Fund ESF & Government- Funded Training & Support WELCOME e’re often asked what training is available locally and it’s difficult to answer because there’s so much. Greater Lincolnshire’s universities, further Weducation colleges, independent training providers, community based organisation and the voluntary sector offer a large range of learning opportunities and support for local people and local employers. Much of what they provide is fully-funded by central government and the most common funding streams and initiatives are described over the next few pages. New training facilities are being built right across Greater Lincolnshire as a result of schemes such as Lincolnshire’s Institute of Technology, Town Deals and the LEP’s Single Local Growth Fund and the training offer is continuing to grow, particularly to reflect the needs of important industries and local employers. We’re also asked regularly if there’s any funding for training. The answer is there’s quite a lot, but it’s not usually given directly to employers to train their staff or to members of the public to buy their own training; instead government funding for training tends to flow through the organisations that deliver it. Our training and education institutions are experts at juggling these different schemes so that the people who want the training don’t need to. This booklet provides details of the locally-based colleges and training providers who are delivering a number of different schemes across Greater Lincolnshire so that organisations referring into them have a better sense of who does what. It’s not an exhaustive list, however the contact section has been extended to include training organisations that do not have a profile page.
