  • 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 It recognises that the “training-work-retirement” model is no longer applicable to our fast-moving new skills, new jobs industries; and so The East’s IoT seeks to provide technical education and training that ensures the area’s workforce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.

  • Information to Be Specified for Closure Proposals
    King Edward VI CEVC Upper School, Bury St Edmunds Statutory Proposal to close Sixth Form Full Proposal Document 1. LA details Suffolk County Council Endeavour House 8 Russell Road Ipswich IP1 2BX 2. School details King Edward VI CEVC Upper School Grove Road Bury St Edmunds IP33 3BH Church of England Voluntary Controlled School. The Governing Body is the proposer. 3. Description of alteration and evidence of demand The proposal being made by The Governing Body is for a phased closure of the sixth form to include no Year 12 entry for sixth form students in September 2019 and to close the sixth form completely on 31st August 2020. From September 2020 the school would continue to provide an education for 11-16 year old pupils only. 4. Objectives and reasons There is no longer a requirement for the sixth form at the school due to the opening of Abbeygate Sixth Form College in Bury St Edmunds. This has been brought about because of the collaborative plan, initially agreed in March 2016, to open a new 16-19 Free School in Bury St Edmunds to provide A Level courses for up to 1700 students. By collaborating in this way King Edward VI CEVC Upper School will be able to: • remove the potential limitation of A level subject choice for students within the school • refocus as an 11-16 school to achieve the best outcomes for Year 7-11 students Abbeygate Sixth Form College will open with Year 12 entry in September 2019. King Edward VI CEVC Upper School will retain the current Year 12 to become Year 13 in September 2019, this ensures students who are mid-way through their sixth form courses are protected.
