  • Macclesfield College
    REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE Macclesfield College January 1994 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council has a statutory duty to ensure that there are satisfactory arrangements to assess the quality of provision in the further education sector. It discharges this duty in part through its inspectorate, which inspects and reports on each college in the FEFC- funded sector every four years. The inspectorate also assesses and reports on a national basis on specific curriculum areas and advises the Council’s quality assessment committee. GRADE DESCRIPTORS The procedures for assessing quality are given in FEFC Circular 93/28. In the course of inspecting colleges, inspectors are expected to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Their assessments are set out clearly in their reports. Inspectors also summarise their judgements on the balance between strengths and weaknesses using a five-point scale. Each grade on the scale has the following descriptor: • 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.

  • Wright, Paul (2018) Anglo-Saxon Lead from the Peak District
    UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM Department of Archaeology ‘Anglo-Saxon lead from the Peak District; where does it lead? A new approach to sourcing Anglo-Saxon lead’ By Paul Wright, BSc., PhD. MRSC. Module MR4120 Dissertation presented for MSc (by research) in Archaeology September 2017 1 I certify that: a) The following dissertation is my own original work b) The source of all non-original material is clearly indicated c) All material presented by me for other modules is clearly indicated. d) All assistance has been acknowledged 2 ABSTRACT The lead industry, like others, declined and then collapsed at the end of Roman Britain and both the Romano-British and Anglo-Saxons recycled metal for a long period before fresh lead appeared. A new methodology has been developed, which uses tin as a marker for recycled Roman lead. Analysis of lead artefacts shows that along the Derwent/ Trent/ Humber corridor recycled Roman lead was continuing in use in the 5th-7th centuries, and plentiful fresh lead first appears in the record in the 9th century, with no tin. There is a widespread gap in artefacts from the 8th century, which implies that recycled lead had been exhausted. The main source of Anglo-Saxon lead in this region is probably the Derbyshire Peak District, but the lead isotope analysis is not definitive, due to the normal constraints such as the overlap of ore field signatures. Also the analytical method gives a broad peak, which reduces discrimination. The recent method of Pollard and Bray, which asks about what differences in lead isotope ratios show rather than provenance have been employed.
