  • 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.

    Planning Committee Agenda Item: 7 22nd January 2020 19/00875/S73 TO: PLANNING COMMITTEE DATE: 22 January 2020 REPORT OF: HEAD OF PLACES & PLANNING AUTHOR: Lesley Westphal TELEPHONE: 01737 276626 EMAIL: [email protected] AGENDA ITEM: 7 WARD: Reigate APPLICATION NUMBER: 19/00875/S73 VALID: 22.05.2019 APPLICANT: Reigate College AGENT: n/a LOCATION: REIGATE COLLEGE, CASTLEFIELD ROAD, REIGATE, SURREY RH2 0SD DESCRIPTION: Construction of new 2 – storey business teaching block, part demolition of existing Holmesdale building with new pitched roof to retained part. 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.

  • WEEKLY BULLETIN — 11 March 2016 from the Headmaster
    WEEKLY BULLETIN — 11 march 2016 From the Headmaster Last weekend was particularly busy in the vibrant RGS calendar with hundreds of visitors attending events at the school. On Sunday 6 March over 40 schools descended upon RGS Hartswood for the 2016 Reigate Charity 7s, sponsored by John Laing. Now established as one of the most popular tournaments in the country, schools from the length and breadth of the country arrived bright and early for the exciting day of rugby ahead. Harrow faced Reigate Grammar School in the Boys’ Cup Final and in a powerful display it was Harrow who ran out eventual winners with a 34-14 victory against a young but talented RGS side. This was a thrilling match, refereed by Wayne Barnes who took time out of his busy international and domestic schedule to officiate the proceedings. In the girls’ competition, the RGS girls’ VII also put in some tremendous performances throughout the day, culminating in a comprehensive 29-5 victory over King Henry VIII School in the Shield Final. For a full report and photo gallery of the day’s events, please click here. On Saturday 5 March the Dining Hall was full of former students who, along with former and current staff and parents, joined together to celebrate Aubs' Day in memory of Aubrey Scrase who passed away last year having been a member of the school community since 1956. The uplifting atmosphere truly reflected the purpose of the day: to celebrate Aubs the man, educator and all round inspiration to many. Upon hearing the rendition of the school song, To be A Pilgrim, some questioned whether it had ever been sung with such passion and conviction! A highlight from the day came from those who shared their personal stories and memories of Aubs.

  • East Surrey College and the Health and Social Care Sector in 2017 to Enable Effective Collaboration
    TEACH TOO LOCAL PROJECT A case study on the Teach Too local project in East Surrey and the surrounding area aligning to the Surrey & Sussex Healthcare Trust footprint for the delivery of healthcare services, including East Surrey, North-east West Sussex, and South Croydon. Project overview This project was delivered in East Surrey and the surrounding area aligning to the Surrey & Sussex Healthcare Trust footprint for the delivery of healthcare services, including East Surrey, North-east West Sussex, and South Croydon. The health and social care challenges are identified in the Health Education England Facing the Facts, Shaping the Future: A draft health and care workforce strategy (2017). Health Education England’s ten year forward view shows that if no action is taken to reduce demand through prevention or service transformation, the NHS will need to grow by 190,000 clinical posts by 2027. The national audit office also identified shortfalls in workforce provision with vacancy rates at 5.9% (2014). The national picture is reflected at a local level. SASH sits within the Sussex and East Surrey sustainability and transformation programme (STP) footprint. This STP includes 24 organisations working collaboratively to provide healthcare services. The STP is responsible for developing a local area strategy to drive service transformation incorporating workforce strategy. The STP identified that to provide patient centred care nearer to home, new skills and an increased use of technology are required. For example, East Surrey has an ageing population, therefore many individuals have multiple healthcare conditions needing complex care. The STP has also identified the need to attract more young people, and a requirement to provide information on the range of careers available to encourage health and social care to become a ‘career of choice’.
