  • What Is School Direct? What Are the Routes?
    What is School Direct? School Direct is a programme whereby schools recruit trainees directly and select them to train and work within their partnership schools. Schools, therefore, have more control over the quality of training that is provided and how it is delivered. We guarantee an interview for any relevant post in a partnership school for those who are successful on the programme with us. What are the routes? There are two routes into School Direct: Salaried and non- salaried. The salaried route is aimed at graduates with at least 3 years work experience and is an employment based route into teaching. The non-salaried route is open to all graduates funded by tuition fees paid by the graduate. Our School Direct programmes will lead you to gaining a PGCE in conjunction with our partnership universities. Who is in our partnership? The Warwick School (Lead School) (www.warwick.surrey.sch.uk) Reigate School (http://www.reigate-school.surrey.sch.uk) Oakwood School (http://www.oakwood.surrey.sch.uk) Reigate College (http://www.reigate.ac.uk/) Royal Alexandra and Albert School (http://www.raa-school.co.uk/) University of Sussex (http://www.sussex.ac.uk/education) University of Brighton (http://about.brighton.ac.uk/education/) St. Mary’s University College, Twickenham (http://www.smuc.ac.uk/education-theology-and- leadership/) We have a very successful and long-standing tradition of working with these schools and universities and have been fortunate enough to offer permanent employment to several of our PGCE student teachers in the past. What kind of training can we offer you? The model for training that we will follow will primarily focus on training in the classroom as well as having regular focused training days delivered by outstanding practitioners.

Variation of condition 8 of permission 03/00711/F which states: No more than 1200 students are permitted on site at any one time. All plans in this report have been reproduced, are not to scale, and are for illustrative purposes only. The original plans should be viewed/referenced for detail. This application is referred following the deferral from the 27th November Committee Meeting, to secure additional information. SUMMARY This application proposes the variation of condition 8 attached to a 2003 planning application for extension works to the College, which imposed a limit of 1200 pupils being on the site at any time. In reality it appears possible that more than 1200 pupils may already, on occasion, be on the site and that as a result of changes to the courses on offer, the way in which students’ study and student numbers that this number could be exceeded in the future and this application seeks to address this fact. The application originally proposed the removal of the condition, but it has been agreed with the applicant that a new condition be imposed with a limit of 1900 pupils – calculated to be sufficient to accommodate anticipated student numbers resulting from curriculum and student number changes.

  • Many Students Choose to Go to a Local 6Th Form Or College but There Are Other Choices Too, Like Studying at a College Or a Trai
    Many students choose to go to a local 6th form or college but there are other choices too, like studying at a college or a training provider or getting a job with training. What is important is to choose the course or training to suit your skills and aspirations. The pathway you choose will be based on the following: • The GCSE grades you have achieved or expect to achieve • How you like to learn • Where and what you would like to study later • What you want to do in the future Choosing the right courses can be critical for some career paths and it’s important to not unintentionally close off paths that you may wish to pursue later on in your career. What you can do to make the right choice: • Find out about different careers that interest you • Get advice from the people who know you like your parents and teachers and from The Careers Team at School • Look at the qualifications on offer to you at 6th forms and other local colleges and also consider whether an apprenticeship might be a good route for you. Choosing the right courses for university If you have a particular degree or subject in mind, now is the time to check out the entry requirements on the UCAS site, so that your post 16 choices are the right ones to ensure you get where you want to go post 18! If you really don't know what you want to do at 18, but you think higher education might be of interest then choose a broad range of subjects at 16 so you have maximum choice of university subjects later.

  • Stella, This Is the Article from Elizabeth
    FARNHAM GIRLS’ GRAMMAR SCHOOL: OLD GIRLS’ ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER NO. 46 2016 www.farnhamians.org/oga AN IMPORTANT LATE ADDITION FROM THE CHAIRMAN I am sorry to have to tell you that our secretary Gill Picken will be resigning from her post at the A.G.M. in September this year. She has been a great asset to the Association and has done a tremendous job sorting out the membership lists, and been the champion organiser of all our recent parties. Her efficiency and enthusiasm know no bounds and she will be sorely missed. This means that from the A.G.M. onwards we will be without a Secretary unless SOMEONE comes forward to take Gill’s place. Without a Secretary, the Association will cease to function and our Lunch, Reunion and A.G.M. cannot happen. We will not be able to circulate the Newsletter as we will not have up to date membership lists. This would make 24th September 2016 our final event which would be extremely sad. We also need more members for the Committee as we have been working with short numbers for some time now. If you would consider either of these opportunities, please contact me (details below).

    REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE Reigate College May 1996 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council has a legal duty to make sure further education in England is properly assessed. The FEFC’s inspectorate inspects and reports on each college of further education every four years. The inspectorate also assesses and reports nationally on the curriculum and gives advice to FEFC’s quality assessment committee. College inspections are carried out in accordance with the framework and guidelines described in Council Circular 93/28. They involve full-time inspectors and registered part-time inspectors who have knowledge and experience in the work they inspect. Inspection teams normally include at least one member who does not work in education and a member of staff from the college being inspected. Cheylesmore House Quinton Road Coventry CV1 2WT Telephone 01203 863000 Fax 01203 863100 © FEFC 1996 You may photocopy this report. CONTENTS Paragraph Summary Introduction 1 The college and its aims 3 Responsiveness and range of provision 6 Governance and management 14 Students’ recruitment, guidance and support 23 Teaching and the promotion of learning 34 Students’ achievements 44 Quality assurance 52 Resources 59 Conclusions and issues 71 Figures GRADE DESCRIPTORS The procedures for assessing quality are set out in the Council Circular 93/28. During their inspection, inspectors assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Their assessments are set out in the reports. They also use a five-point grading scale to summarise the balance between strengths and weaknesses. The descriptors for the grades are: • 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.
