  • Investigation Into University Technical Colleges
    A picture of the National Audit Office logo Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General Department for Education Investigation into university technical colleges HC 101 SESSION 2019-20 30 OCTOBER 2019 4 What this investigation is about Investigation into university technical colleges What this investigation is about 1 University technical colleges (UTCs) are a type of free school in England that focuses on teaching students who are mainly aged 14 to 19. UTCs are publicly funded state schools, independent of local authorities. Each UTC must be part of an academy trust, a charitable company that manages the school’s budget and employs the staff. Academy trusts are directly funded by, and accountable to, the Department for Education (the Department), via the Education and Skills Funding Agency. Single-academy trusts have one academy school, while multi-academy trusts bring together groups of academy schools. 2 In 2010, the government undertook to improve the quality of vocational education, including increasing flexibility for 14- to 19-year-olds and creating new technical academies as part of plans to diversify school provision.1 The Department supported the establishment of the first UTC in 2010/11 and the government announced its ambitions for UTCs in subsequent budgets.2 The Department’s vision was for employers and universities to work together, with educational experts, to open new institutions to deliver technical education in specialist areas that meets the needs of local employers and the economy. 3 However, UTCs have faced challenges that have threatened their viability. In December 2016, we reported that the then Education Funding Agency had assessed 22 of 47 UTCs as at risk due to financial concerns.3 The financial difficulties were caused, at least in part, by the fact that UTCs had fewer students than predicted.

  • Guidance for Faith Schools
    Mainstream Guidance Faith free schools May 2018 Registered Charity No. 1132122 | Company Registration No. 6953650 Contents Page 2: Introduction Page 2: Applying to open a faith school Page 3: Completing the DfE’s application form Page 6: Integration and cohesion Page 7: Issues to consider in a faith free school Page 8: Admissions Page 10: Curriculum Page 12: School life Page 13: Collective worship Page 14: Recruitment Page 16: Governance Page 17: Reaching out to the community Page 18: Obtaining a faith designation Page 19: Further information 1 Introduction Proposers setting up a mainstream free school can choose to set up a free school with a faith ethos or faith designation. This guidance outlines the difference between these terms and the freedoms available to this type of free school. Groups proposing a school with a faith ethos or designation must show that the school will be inclusive to all pupils, including those of other and no faith. Groups proposing to establish a free school with a faith basis or designation must meet additional criteria to demonstrate their commitment to inclusion. The purpose of this guidance is to support applicants to identify the different issues they need to consider when proposing a faith free school. Applying to open a faith school Mainstream free schools can either have a faith ethos or a faith designation. When documents refer to faith free schools, they are normally referring to faith designated schools as this will generally be the status of schools where faith plays a larger role. It is important, when deciding the role you would like faith to play in your free school, to be fully aware of the different freedoms and restrictions that accompany having an ethos or designation, and that you are able to make the case for it being the right choice for your school.

  • Special Educational Needs and Disability Information
    STEPHENSON STUDIO SCHOOL SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND DISABILITY INFORMATION What kinds of special educational needs does the school make provision for? Stephenson Studio School welcomes students with special educational needs as defined by the new SEND Code of Practice 2014. We expect students to access mainstream lessons and activities, with support, where necessary. Stephenson Studio School caters for a wide range of Special Educational Needs, Disabilities and medical needs. These include ASD, dyslexia, ADHD, physical difficulties such as hypermobility, diabetes and emotional difficulties. Working closely with parents and professionals we will always seek to teach every child so they can achieve his or her best. How does the school know if students need extra help and what should I do if I think that my child may have special educational needs? Progress and achievement is rigorously tracked and the data is used to identify both underachievement and lack of progress. We gather information from: KS2 teacher assessments including SATs results Primary Annual Reviews and transition meetings EHC Plan documentation Information from outside agencies including ADHD Solutions, Behaviour Support Service, Educational Psychology Service and the Autism Outreach Team Baseline Assessments in English, maths and science, including standardised literacy testing Where we have concerns about progress we will seek advice from other agencies as appropriate. When a child is transferring from a different setting a process is put in place to ensure successful transition. Within the school the progress of every child is carefully tracked and any concerns due to these assessments, or professional observations, will be raised with the parent by the Tutor, Personal Coach or SENDCO.

All your planning and preparation has paid off, and the Secretary of State for Education has agreed that your application to open a studio school should move to the next stage of the process – known as the ‘pre-opening’ stage. This is the stage between the approval of your application and the opening of the school. The setting up of a studio school is a challenging but ultimately very rewarding task and it will require significant commitment and time from sponsors and partners. Your original application set out your plans for establishing the studio school, from the education vision and the admission of pupils to the recruitment of staff and the curriculum. Now your application has been approved, you must begin work to implement these plans. The letter of approval you received from the Department for Education (DfE) sets out important conditions of approval. It is vital that you consider these conditions carefully in planning your priorities and what you need to focus on next.

  • Dowling College, New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting & Sculpture and Glasgow Caledonian New York College
    THE STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT / THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK / ALBANY, NY 12234 TO: The Honorable the Members of the Board of Regents FROM: Elizabeth R. Berlin SUBJECT: Conferral of Degrees: Dowling College, New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting & Sculpture and Glasgow Caledonian New York College DATE: August 29, 2019 AUTHORIZATION(S): SUMMARY Issue for Decision (Consent Agenda) Should the Board of Regents confer degrees upon students successfully completing programs at Dowling College, New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting & Sculpture and Glasgow Caledonian New York College? Reason(s) for Consideration Required by State statute and State regulation. Proposed Handling This question will come before the full Board at its September 2019 meeting, where it will be voted on and action taken. Background Information Section 208 of the Education Law gives the Regents the authority to make awards in certain circumstances. By statute and regulation, institutions of higher education that have provisional charters do not have authority to award degrees. Until such time as a charter is made absolute, the Board of Regents awards degrees on behalf of provisionally chartered institutions. In the case of closed institutions of higher education, in order to hold students harmless, the Board of Regents awards degrees to eligible students who complete the requirements for their registered degree programs at other institutions, for specified periods of time. BR (CA) 2 Dowling College Dowling College, which was located at 150 Idle Hour Boulevard in Oakdale, New York, was granted an absolute charter by the Board of Regents on September 27, 1968. On August 31, 2016, Dowling College closed.
