  • Its Review of Secondary Provision in Birkenhead and Bebington
    APPENDIX C Independent assessment of the Wirral LA’s context and secondary review- What follows is my report and findings following my visits to the Wirral, and the next steps the LA should consider taking following : • its review of secondary provision in Birkenhead and Bebington • the successful delivery of 14-19 implementation which meets the needs of all its students in Birkenhead and Bebington, • the announcement in October 2007 that Birkenhead High School was to seek academy status, and above all • the implications for the local authority and its secondary schools of the recently announced National Challenge. Introduction: I would like to extend my warm thanks and appreciation to Councillor Phil Davies, Cabinet Member for Children’s Services and Lifelong Learning and to Howard Cooper, Director, Children’s and Young People’s Department, and his colleagues in the Local Authority and schools for the way in which they have helped me undertake my task on the Wirral. They have been welcoming, open and thoughtful in all my interviews and deliberations with them. I would also like to thank Frank Field MP for the time, help and support he and his research officer Patrick White have given me in undertaking this task, and Michael Clark, Diocesan Director, Shrewsbury Diocese, for his generous time to discuss issues, his background briefing and information. Most of all I would like to express my appreciation to the students from the Wirral schools that I met on my visits and the head teachers and staff that work with them to help raise their standards of achievement, their aspirations and ambitions.

  • 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.
