There were an incredible amount of opportunities available to students with external providers including NCS, Royal British Legion, Wilmslow Talking Newspaper and The Chamber of Commerce Employment Readiness programme, with internal offerings such as Bar Mock Trial, Young Enterprise, Model United Nations and an array of sports teams, to name just a few. Mrs Finemore-Lunn, Year 13 Student Manager and co-organiser of the Opportunities Fair said, “This year’s Fair had a real buzz; it was very pleasing to see the Sports Hall full of students excited at the prospect of getting involved with such a wide variety of activities. We are very proud of Sixth Form students who are always so giving of their time and committed to developing their skills, helping others and broadening their horizons”. -

2008 Year 11 School Leavers Going Into Higher Education in 2010
Tracking Progression: 2008 Year 11 school leavers going into Higher Education in 2010 Staffordshire & Stoke-on-Trent March 2011 Introduction Analysis of entry to Higher Education (HE) by Local Authority, district and mainstream, maintained high school This report shows the proportion of all 2008 Year 11 high school students who went on to enter Higher Education (HE) at age 18 in 2010 (i.e. after two years of further education). Figures include those who have an unconditional place offer and are taking a 'gap year'. This study includes those who have entered HE from both the school and college sectors. The report sub-divides the Year 11 cohort into quintiles based on where they live. So Quintile 1 represents those areas in the County/City that are among the 20% most deprived in the country and identifies how many learners in the cohort come from this quintile, and how many of those subsequently applied to higher education. Quintile 5 represents those from areas in the 20% least deprived in the country. The deprivation of an area is based on the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) which is described below (see*). To provide some comparison year on year, data for 2008 entry to HE has been included in the analysis. * The Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 (IMD 2007) is based on the small area of geography known as Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs). LSOAs have a population between 1,000 and 3,000 people, with an average of 1,500 people. In most cases, these are smaller than wards, thus allowing the identification of small pockets of deprivation. -
