    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.

    Theatre in Education Tour to Support Anti-Bullying Education in Staffordshire Moorlands Academic Year 2019-20

    Theatre in Education Tour to support Anti-Bullying Education In Staffordshire Moorlands Academic Year 2019-20 Written by Eleanor Vale, Company Director, Loudmouth Education & Training April 2020 PAGE 1 www.loudmouth.co.uk [email protected] 0121 446 4880 Introduction This evaluation report is feeding back on a theatre in education project that took place during the academic year of 2019-20. The project was to use a Theatre in Education (TIE) programme to support Personal, Social, Health & Economic Education (PSHE) including anti- bullying awareness in targeted schools (middle and secondary), in the Staffordshire Moorlands area. The tour was delivered by Loudmouth Education & Training using their TIE programme Bully 4 U, designed to educate on anti-bullying. The tour was funded by Staffordshire Moorlands District Council and we would like to thank Vicki Ellis, Member and Community Support Officer for her support. Established in 1994, Loudmouth Education & Training is a theatre company that supports schools and other organisations with their PSHE. Loudmouth’s aim is to help children and young people to have healthy, happy and safe relationships. The company uses drama, interaction and discussion to explore issues that affect children and young people. Loudmouth’s education and training programmes are proven to help learners to challenge attitudes, gain new skills and increase knowledge. “Very relatable to the age of the students. Key bullying topics covered. Fantastic acting that engaged ALL pupils!” PE Department, Woodhouse Academy Teacher “The Loudmouth session helped me because they gave me examples and how to deal with bullying. Now my knowledge is much better on bullying.” Year 7 pupil, Woodhouse Academy PAGE 2 www.loudmouth.co.uk [email protected] 0121 446 4880 Executive Summary • During the academic year of 2019/20 Loudmouth Education & Training delivered their interactive TIE programme, Bully 4 U, on bullying and cyber bullying in mainstream secondary schools in the Staffordshire Moorlands area.

    Staffordshire Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education

    Staffordshire Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education 28th Annual Report September 2017 - September 2018 1 From the Chair of SACRE In 2017-18 Staffordshire SACRE continued to fulfil energetically its statutory responsibilities, many County schools continued to deliver high quality RE, and many pupils grew in religious literacy and in preparedness for living in a plural and diverse Britain. SACRE acknowledges and warmly thanks all who contributed positively to this broad achievement: RE teachers, senior management, governors, and school visitors. Indeed, many sectors in our society are stakeholders in the quality and outcomes of Agreed Syllabus RE. Your SACRE was very pleased to gain another Westhill/NASACRE Award, this time for a project to support the implementation of the new Agreed Syllabus by enabling pupils to “engage, explore, reflect” in relation to Muslim and Christian presentations, and thus to encounter diversity at first hand. While the pupils were apparently more engrossed in creating electronic notebooks of their experiences, there was thorough follow-up afterwards, and the overall success of the project and pupils’ enthusiastic enjoyment have led to repeats of the exercise with new schools. During the year SACRE found it had the scope to commission the County RE Adviser, Emma Jardine-Phillips, to carry out a survey of RE in the County’s 16 remaining (non-Academy) secondary schools by visiting each school in turn. The main results of the survey are set out in this Report .One or two schools were less than co-operative, but it is good to record that the majority of the schools were seeking to comply as best as they could with meeting pupils’ needs in RE and to offer external exam courses, sometimes in quite challenging circumstances.
