  • 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.

  • Aylesbury College
    Aylesbury College REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE 1997-98 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council has a legal duty to make sure further education in England is properly assessed. The FEFC’s inspectorate inspects and reports on each college of further education according to a four-year cycle. It also assesses and reports nationally on the curriculum, disseminates good practice and advises the FEFC’s quality assessment committee. College inspections are carried out in accordance with the framework and guidelines described in Council Circulars 97/12, 97/13 and 97/22. Inspections seek to validate the data and judgements provided by colleges in self-assessment reports. They involve full-time inspectors and registered part-time inspectors who have knowledge of, and experience in the work they inspect. A member of the Council’s audit service works with inspectors in assessing aspects of governance and management. All colleges are invited to nominate a senior member of their staff to participate in the inspection as a team member.

  • A Case Study Exploring the Societal Gatekeeper Role of an Ofsted
    A case study exploring the societal gatekeeper role of an Ofsted inspector, using a systems thinking model of creativity, in the business studies curriculum in Further Education colleges in England by Jesvir Kaur Mahil BA (Hons), PGCE, MBA A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Education College of Social Sciences University of Birmingham August 2017 0 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract This study explored my own societal gatekeeper role as an Ofsted inspector, using a systems thinking model of creativity, within the domain of vocational business studies curricula, in Further Education (FE) colleges in England. My research questions sought to explore how business teachers and inspectors define, recognise, measure, reward and promote creativity skills in vocational business education. To provide a definition of creativity, I propose a framework based on its seven key aspects: process, person, place, pressures, product, persuasion and permanence. In addition to evidence-based success, I argue that we recognise the need for trust and freedom, through quality of relationships, to stimulate creativity.

Quoted from the New Statesman 23 rd February 2009.
