5Th October 2018 Dear Families, As You Are More Than Rye College The Grove Rye East Sussex TN31 7NQ Executive Headteacher: Barry Blakelock Head of College: Dom Downes 5th October 2018 Dear Families, As you are more than aware, this time of year is extremely busy for our Year 11 students. Between now and Christmas, they will be making decisions about their future beyond Rye College; so I wanted to bring to your attention a few key dates and events for your diaries. Rye College has the privilege of working with ‘Trust Careers’ to support post-16 progression. They provide specialist careers information, advice and guidance, to work alongside the delivery of our careers programme. Trust Careers will shortly be commencing a programme of guidance interviews: where each year 11 student will receive a 30 minute interview and personal written action plan. For further information, please visit http://www.themytrust.org. In order to get Year 11 switched on to post-16 options, I have organised for many of our local providers to lead Year 11 assemblies over the coming weeks. Some providers are yet to confirm, so I hope that other establishments (particularly Kent Colleges) can be added to the list below: Monday 17th September – Trust Careers post-16 progression launch Monday 8th October – Bexhill College Monday 15th October – ARK 6th Form Monday 29th October – DV8 Monday 5th November – Rye Hospitality Guild Monday 12th November – East Sussex College Group Monday 26th November - Howewood This brief introduction to each establishment is then followed up with specific open days/evenings that are open to everyone. I have attached a sheet that provides contact details, dates and times of most of the local college open evenings and events. Further information may be found on individual college websites. Please check this information as these may be subject to change. We will also provide regular reminders and updates via our website and social networking sites. In terms of applications, these will be done through UCAS Progress. The log-in details for your child have already been emailed, and they will shortly be receiving hard copies of these. We will also be looking at the UCAS site during Tutor Time, and computer rooms will be booked to enable staff to support the students with their applications at school. There are also computers in the library, if students wish to use these during breaks. The final date for your diary is Thursday 18th October. On this evening, from 6:00 – 7:30pm, you are invited to attend a ‘Success at 16’ evening. This is an opportunity for you and your family to hear a presentation about post-16 options, speak with the Head of English, Maths and Science, and visit stalls from various post-16 providers, and other companies such as Trust Careers, University of Brighton, Apprenticeships in Sussex etc. Further details on this event will be sent to you shortly. If you have any queries about any of this information, please do not hesitate to contact me at school.

  • East Sussex College Group 2019-20 Access and Participation Plan
    East Sussex College Group 2019-20 Access and Participation Plan Assessment of Current Performance The East Sussex College Group – Introduction to the College The East Sussex College Group is a Further Education College serving East Sussex, with campuses situated in Hastings, Ore Valley, Eastbourne, Newhaven, and Lewes. The College Group is the result of the merger between Sussex Coast College Hastings and Sussex Downs College in March 2018. Both former colleges in the Group were subject to a Quality Review Visit in 2017 from The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education, and the outcome was ‘confidence’ in the Higher Education offer. The College Group has longstanding relationships with its validating partners, the University of Brighton and Pearson Education, and offers Honours Degrees, Foundation Degrees and Higher National Certificates and Diplomas across a broad range of subject areas. This Access and Participation Plan sets out how the East Sussex College Group aims to improve access to Higher Education, student success and progression amongst those groups currently under-represented in Higher Education. The College Group has taken a strategic approach, responding to national and regional agendas for widening access, as well as objectives identified within the College Group’s strategic statement. We aim to meet our objectives through collaboration, both internally and externally, and by continuing to work towards embedding widening access, outreach, student success and progression in to the institution, supporting the whole student life cycle. Through careful monitoring, we will evaluate and prioritise programmes and activities that have the greatest impact, and aim to reduce the difference in success for those students with Widening Participation characteristics.

  • Post 16 Policy 14-15 DRAFT
    Transport policy statement for learners aged 16 – 18 in further education, continuing learners aged 19 and over and young people aged 19 – 24 with learning difficulties and/or disabilities. 1 Summary of policy statement and its main objective The providers of post 16 education in East Sussex believe that limited discretionary travel assistance should be targeted at the most vulnerable learners. The providers have, therefore, developed policies which ensure there is provision for students in greatest financial need by assisting in whole or in part towards the cost of transport. The government has increased the age to which all young people in England must continue in education or training, requiring them to continue until the end of the academic year in which they turn 17, and from 2015 until their 18th birthday. This does not mean young people have to stay in school to continue in education or training. Options include full-time study in a school, college or with a training provider, full-time work or volunteering combined with part-time education or training or an apprenticeship. As a result, any transport support given to students up to and including Year 11 does not extend beyond compulsory school age. 2 Types of assistance available Seats on coaches serving schools with sixth forms Students attending schools with sixth forms, where hired vehicles are available, can purchase a travel permit. The cost from September 2014 is £124 per term (based on a six term year). The charge will be waived for students from low income families meeting the eligibility criteria (see section 4).

  • FE Commissioner Intervention: East Sussex College Group
    FE Commissioner Intervention Summary: East Sussex College Group December 2019 Update on progress since FEC intervention assessment Following the FEC intervention assessment, the college has made progress despite the turbulent circumstances during which existing challenges, including financial ones, have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the departure of several senior leaders, interim arrangements were rapidly put in place to secure and stabilise the leadership team, with very good use being made of support from national leaders of further education (NLFE) and national leaders of governance (NLG). The governing body membership has been significantly refreshed, with 5 new appointments. The recent staff survey reveals that communications and staff morale have improved significantly. However, as the college fully recognises, there is still much to do and, despite the positive work by the interim team, the longer-term future sustainability, organisational effectiveness and strategic direction of the college need to be secured. This includes the recruitment of a strong, capable and experienced CEO, and clarifying both the strategic direction and organisational structure of the college, which are essential steps for the college to undertake as swiftly as possible. 2 Contents Background to FE Commissioner Intervention Assessment 5 Overview of the college 5 Leadership and governance 6 Role, composition and operation of the board 6 Leadership and senior management team 7 Curriculum and quality improvement 8 Curriculum and provision
