Summary

The overall balance of the year groups has changed following the large number of graduates this summer and four young people deciding not to enrol at university this Autumn. This has impacted on the current percentage of care leavers at University by lowering it from 17% to 15%

Part 2 : Other Information.

Young people in Year 12 There were 31 Year 11s at the end of the academic year 2011 and there are now 41 young people in care in the Year 12 age group due to increased numbers in care. Seventy six percent, (31/41) are in study, three in training (apprenticeships – 7%) and five are deciding on ways forward with Connexions advisors.

Types of course studied Of the young people that are studying, most have chosen to study at College. As can be seen from the table below, 20 out of 41 or 49% of those studying chose to take practical courses such as BTECs, NVQ’s or City and Guild qualifications.

Course/Level Numbers A/S 5 = 12% BTEC Level 3 1= 2 % BTEC Level 2 8 = 20 % BTEC Level 1 1= 2% NVQ Level 2 1= 2% NVQ Level 1 8= 20 City & Guilds 1= 2% GCSE (re-take) 1= 2% Entry Level 2= 5% ESOL 2= 5% SEN/ alternative courses 3= 7% Training 3= 7% 3 Young people awaiting educational 5 = 12% placements and Connexions advice.

5 Types of practical courses studied

The most popular course this year is ICT (4 students). Other popular courses include Health & Social Care and Construction. The spread of courses this year is fairly wide. The ICT courses have all been selected by males, whereas the Health & Social Care courses have been chosen by females. However, there is an even gender split across some of the other subjects previously considered gender-specific e.g. Construction and Business. The only student known to be taking a Hair and Beauty course is male.

Current Situation They follow a similar trend to other young people in that they are taking a wide range of practical subjects as well as some A levels (5 young people). The five who are still deciding ways forward are all being supported by the LAC Education Team, the SOT Team and Connexions and it is expected that appropriate education, training or employment will be sourced for them in the coming months.

Young People in Year 13

There are 56 young people in this year group – an increase of 20 young people from when this year group took GCSEs in 2010.

In terms of A levels there are 7 young people studying A level courses, two young people are in college and the other students are studying at school.

There are 24 young people in college. Two young people are studying at level 3 (the equivalent of A level), eight young people are studying at level 2 (the equivalent of GCSEs at grades A-C) and eight young people are studying at level 1 (the equivalent of GCSE at grades D-G). There are six young men, new arrivals, on ESOL courses. There are a further seven young people, being educated in specialist provision.

In terms of apprenticeships, two young women are on apprenticeship schemes and one young woman is working. There are a further seven young people, three women and four men who are involved with Connexions interviews re changes of course, full time parents or seriously ill, and eight young people, are on programmes connected with the Youth Offending service and where education is a key component of the programme.

Summary

The situation across Years 12 and 13 remains similar to previous years in that the majority of looked after young people choose to study in HE colleges. The majority are in Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College where there is a full time mentor for Looked After Children and strong support for LAC especially around admissions.
