E.R. Inst This case study describes the development of Electronics within the curriculum in line with how both (Reid and Walker 19751 Case Studies in Curriculum Change) and (Goodaon I983» School Subjects and Curriculum Change) discussed changes in terms of theories of curriculum change. Alternative definitions of the term innovation are reviewed and for the purpose of this study a definition is adopted which includes syllabus change and major changes of scale and strategy. The study gives an outline of the major theories of innovation and implementation strategy. Features of centralisation and rationalisation are described insofar as these features led to current educational initiatives. An account is given of how Electronics developed as a topic within 'Ar level Physics, a subject within B.E.T.E.C. (previously Q.N..C./T.E.C.) and as a separate G.C.E. subject. Data on examination entries in G.C..E. and C.3.E. Electronics ore. presented. These data ore related to the- size of L.E.A.s, the type of centre, and also to explore the viability of G.C.E./G.C.S.E.. provision in Electronics. Initiatives such as M.E.P., T.V.E.I., C.P.V.E., S.3.C.R. are described as they are expected to have a significant impact on the growth of Electronics. The position of Electronics within the curriculum and its educational value are discussed. Comment is made on the Systems and. Components approaches to Electronics and on the importance of project work. Teacher difficulties with project work are noted and suggestions are made on the use and range of equipment available so that a suitable teaching style may be developed.

  • Schools Forum Is Asked to Approve Annex F Which Is the Proposed Pro-Forma for Funding Schools in 2014-15
    B Committee: School Forum Meeting Date: 18th October 2013 Title: Changes to the Schools block 2014-15 Author: Michael Quinton Decision making / Decision Making consultative / information: What is the Forum being asked to decide? 1. Schools Forum is asked to approve Annex F which is the proposed pro-forma for funding schools in 2014-15. Specifically: 1.1 The introduction of the sparsity factor which will be funded from reallocations within the Schools Block. 1.2 Redistribution of Deprivation funding from the higher bands of IDACI to a Free School Meal (FSM) band that is not directly linked to the cost of a FSM. 1.3 Removal of the mobility factor from the Suffolk formula. 1.4 Reducing the value per pupil element of the Secondary schools Low Cost High Incidence (LCHI) value due to the change in the proxy measure and more children being ‘picked up’. 1.5 Introduction of Rent as an exceptional factor. Reason for recommendation 2. Following on from the Government and Suffolk Schools Forum review of the formula the changes have been recommended: 2.1. The government have listened to school requests to have a factor that supports small rural schools. Suffolk County Council is committed to supporting small schools and it is in our interest to make use of this new Sparsity factor. This factor is aimed at smaller rural schools and we feel that introducing this factor will benefit Suffolk schools. By using this targeted funding it will ensure the long term viability of some of the schools as well as enabling those schools to look at other ways of working such as federations.

We were “83% of grades were also delighted with the success of our at A* to C - our students at AS level and the Year 10 GCSE Statistics. The national papers once again second best ever and listed us as a highly performing school and much higher than the we were the highest listed school in the national average.” county. Our A level results were fantastic and confirmed our position as one of the most consistently top performing schools in the county. 31% of grades were at grade A*/A and 83% of the grades were A* to C - our second best ever and much higher than the national average. 66 students achieved at least 2A grades and a quarter achieved an A*. Our average total point score per student at 995 and average score per subject at 229 are extremely high and significantly above national averages. There were many superb individual performances. Particular credit goes to Lawrence Beaumont, Emily Ley and Sam Moody who all achieved at least three A* grades. As well as those gaining very high grades, we were equally pleased with the excellent performances from less able students who, whilst maybe not getting A and A* grades, exceeded their target grades and achieved the excellent individual results needed to secure Higher Education places.

They agreed that some young people were taking drugs and that drugs were easily accessible locally, online and in schools. There was concern about the misuse of nitrous 1 oxide (NO2) and the effect it had on the community and environment. Nitrous oxide gas canisters are easily purchased online and although illegal for under 18s to purchase, no proof of age checks are required for online shopping. The drugs project included a pupil survey, drug awareness poster campaign and a clean-up day. 1 3 Nitrous oxide is also referred to as NO2, balloons, laughing gas and as a ‘legal high’. 3 Background To set the scene, the threat posed by the misuse of psychoactive substances2 has forced the government to launch a ban on these substances under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016.

    Religious education: realising the potential Religious education (RE) makes a significant contribution to pupils’ academic and personal development. It also plays a key role in promoting social cohesion and the virtues of respect and empathy, which are important in our diverse society. However, the potential of RE was not being realised fully in the majority of the schools surveyed for this report. The report identifies barriers to better RE and suggests ways in which the subject might be improved. The report is written for all those who teach RE, for those who lead the subject, and for headteachers of primary and secondary schools. Age group: 5–18 Published: October 2013 Reference no: 130068 The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted) regulates and inspects to achieve excellence in the care of children and young people, and in education and skills for learners of all ages.

At the time of writing, the school community is looking forward to the 2020 challenge, with the hope of raising money for the East Anglian Children’s Hospice and Thomas Mills High School. This event has been organised by a group of hardworking volunteers ably led by Dennis Tattoo, Assistant Headteacher. At the end of this term, Mr Tattoo retires after forty years of exceptional service to children in Suffolk. Thirty-one of those years have been spent at Thomas Mills where he has given outstanding leadership to a range of areas. He has been instrumental in supporting the extra-curricular life of the school including sports, the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, as well as numerous expeditions to far flung places across the globe. At the end of this term we will be very sad to say goodbye to Dennis but thank him for what he has achieved and wish him and other staff retiring a very long, healthy and happy retirement.

  • Rutter Carroll RYDER to Maintain Consistency of Output Over 60 Years of Practice Is a Tough Call
    RYDER Rutter Carroll RYDER_ To maintain consistency of output over 60 years of practice is a tough call. We have PREFACE never tried to change; we have simply tried to improve the quality of our surroundings, and in doing so, the quality of people’s lives. PETER Looking back there is a remarkable consistency of approach, and in many ways this interests us more than the product. After all, the product is a product of the approach, BUCHAN it kind of looks after itself. The ‘what’ of ‘what we do’ is about simplicity, usefulness, elegance. To continue to improve this we have become increasingly obsessed with the ‘how’ of our architecture. The ‘how’ is about developing the best people and creating organisations that allow them to grow and contribute, to achieve what we collectively define as excellence. It has been quite a journey, and it is only in hindsight that one begins to read the patterns. Most of the time we are so committed to dealing with the present and considering the future that there is a little opportunity, or indeed desire, to reflect on the past. The connections to the two postwar pioneers, Gordon Ryder and Peter Yates, seem tenuous and potent in equal measure. In turn, their own connections to the legacy of Berthold Lubetkin and Le Corbusier seem now equally tenuous yet potent. There is something powerful in the collective memory and culture of an organisation; sometimes carried forward by individuals, often at times by a surge of a whole group. It shapes what we do. This is why we have been so taken up with the ‘how’, and we have striven to build a collective, a shared culture and vision that runs through the whole organisation, wherever its people are located.
