    Walsall College 2019-20 Access and Participation Plan

    Walsall College 2019-20 Access and Participation Plan Assessment of current performance Walsall is the thirtieth most deprived local authority ward in the UK, with below average levels of employment and a high number of residents (30%) who are economically inactive, compared with the West Midlands (24.9%) and UK averages (22.3%). Walsall College stands out as a ‘beacon of hope’ within the Black Country area, and is proud to inspire our students to increase their aspirations and life goals. A recent study from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows Walsall in the top four towns in England with the greatest share of the most deprived households. Walsall is the eighth most deprived town in terms of education. The work the College does is vital to the regeneration of the greater Walsall area. Walsall has significantly lower qualifications within its population, when compared with England and Wales. The number of pupils leaving school without five GCSEs is 3% higher than the national average, at 50.8%. Of the 3,477 16-18 students starting in September 2016, over 50% had either no maths or English GCSE at grade C or above. The percentage of Walsall residents with a level 4 qualification has improved from 18.2% (in 2010) to 24.3% (in 2016), but is still 13% behind the national average. These statistics are at the heart of our Widening Participation Strategy. Socio-economic factors, whether measured in terms of family income, occupational classification or neighbourhood, remain a key factor of educational attainment at school level and access to Higher Education (HE) or Higher Apprenticeships.

The papers examine a wide range of administrative issues, including building on human resources investments through strategic planning, maintaining relationships with local education authorities, customer satisfaction as a marketing strategy, the potential benefits of restructuring a further education college into a flat structure in which clients are given a more active role, strategies to achieve racial/sexual equality and combat all forms of disadvantage at the administration level, and the need for further education colleges to continue adapting to economic and social changes. After a foreword by Susan Leather, the following papers are included: "Strategic Planning" (Ann Limb); "Principalship in the 1990s" (Patricia Twyman); "Marketing or Customer Care?" (Gillian Brain); "The Whole College Approach" (Rosemary Gray); "Ensuring Esteem for All in College: Aims and Objectives" (Helen Gilchrist); "Articles of Partnership" (Ethlyn Prince); and "Coming Through" (Diane Brace). Several articles included bibliographies.
  • West Midlands

    West Midlands

    West Midlands Introduction The West Midlands has an area of just under 13,000 km2. Around 5.2 million people live in the region, giving a population density of 405 people per km2. This is close to the average for England, but West Midlands metropolitan county – which consists of Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton – is the second most densely populated urban area in the country after London. It has nearly 3,000 people per km2. Birmingham has just under 1 million inhabitants, making it the second largest city in the UK. Other significant urban areas are Stoke-on-Trent, Worcester, Coventry, Wolverhampton and Stafford. Economic development The economic output of the West Midlands is just around £63 billion, 8.2 per cent of the total UK GDP. Manufacturing industry is responsible for just over a quarter of employment and almost 30 per cent of GDP, the highest proportion for any region in the UK. However, the manufacturing industry is declining in favour of service industries. Unemployment in the region is above the national average at 5.9 per cent. The total income of higher education institutions in the region is over £990 million per year. Higher education provision There are 12 higher education institutions in the West Midlands: eight universities and four higher education colleges. There are an additional 41 further education colleges with students taking higher education courses. All nine Staffordshire FECs offering HE courses have joined a funding consortium of 12 institutions led by Staffordshire University. The higher education student population is over 127,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) students.
