  • Outstanding Teaching, Learning and Assessment Technical Skills National Programme
    OUTSTANDING TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT TECHNICAL SKILLS NATIONAL PROGRAMME Interim case study on project led by South Devon College HOLLY VAUGHAN Managed by In partnership with BRUSHING UP “Brushing Up” is an innovative partnership lead by South Devon College (SDC). The partnership is made up of the following: − Six partner education providers; South Devon College, Cornwall College Group, PETROC College, City College Plymouth, Yeovil College and Gershwins Academy. − Five employer partners; Tom Chapman, Carol Caine, Take Two, RT Hair and Kumiega Skin Care Clinic. − One awarding body: City and Guilds Group Business. The project aims to reduce the skills gaps within the Hair and Beauty industry by enhancing teaching, learning and assessment approaches. Project stages 1. Identifying the skills gaps; both vocational and teaching, learning and assessment (TLA) focussed. 2. Undertaking training and development days; hosted by each of the education partners. 3. Dissemination of the training and development days back to the teams of each education partner. Learning plans and resources developed. 4. Delivery of the new learning plans and resources to learners. 5. Evaluation of the project and future plans. Progress to date Identifying the skills gaps The initial stage of the project was to identify the skills gaps. To capture this data and to provide a baseline for the project, the project produced two surveys for the education partners to complete. The first survey asked the Hair and Beauty staff to assess their confidence of vocational skills. The second survey asked them to reflect on their TLA practice, this was based on the Education and Training Foundation Professional Standards survey.

  • Transport Policy Statement for Learners Aged 16-18 in Further Education and Continuing Learners with Learning Difficulties and O
    Transport policy statement for learners aged 16-18 in further education and continuing learners with learning difficulties and or disabilities aged 19 and over from September 2017 1. What is the purpose of this policy statement? Torbay has an established public transport network that enables students to access post-16 provision in and around Torbay. This statement explains the circumstances when the council and post-16 sixth forms/colleges will provide assistance with the cost of accessing this network, and the assistance available for students who are not able to access public transport due to a learning difficulty or disability. It also directs students to other assistance that may be available directly from sixth forms/colleges. 2. What are the criteria for assistance? Assistance from the local authority There is no automatic entitlement to free home to school or college transport once a student is over 16. A bus pass can be purchased through Stagecoach in Torbay for £180 per term. The local authority provides assistance for some students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities This is individually assessed and detailed information can be found in Section 5. Otherwise local authority assistance is only given on an exceptional basis. Students from families on low income can apply to their school or college for bursary funding to assist with their travel costs. For many students this is discretionary and schools/colleges will assist in different ways. Where the route from a student’s home to the public transport network is considered unsafe, the local authority will provide transport to that point free of charge.

  • 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.

  • South Devon College
    REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE South Devon College July 1997 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 the 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 1997 You may photocopy this report.

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.
