  • Appendix 5: Student Accommodation
    Appendix 5 Student Accommodation Guildford Borough Council 2020 433 Background Guildford borough hosts a variety of further1 and higher2 education establishments; including the University of Surrey, the University of Law, Guildford College (which includes Merrist Wood College), the Academy of Contemporary Music and the School of Horticulture at RHS Wisley. Together, these institutions provide a range of higher and further education courses such as foundation, undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, and vocational higher education courses and diplomas. Students attending these courses are likely to be from a wide range of backgrounds, including students from ages 16 and above. Students typically live in a diverse set of accommodation types such as at home with family, in purpose-built communal halls of residence (either on or off campus), in other establishments (such as the YMCA), or in houses within the local community. Many students also benefit from distance learning, placement years, or are part-time or postgraduates that may rent or own their own home. National planning policy guidance and test In February 2019, the government published an updated National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), which had been significantly revised from its previous iteration in July 2018. The NPPF states that: the size, type and tenure of housing needed for different groups in the community should be assessed and reflected in planning policies (including but not limited to, those who require affordable housing, families with children, older people, students,

The Group is a result of two mergers – Guildford College joined with Merrist Wood in 2001 and Farnham Sixth Form College joined the Group in 2007. The Group is the largest FE College in the county. GCG has experienced a number of difficulties in relation both to finance and to quality over recent years, i.e.: • It was subject to a Notice of Concern for financial health and placed into formal FE Commissioner intervention in March 2014. It was removed from FE Commissioner intervention in September 2016 as its financial position improved as a result of a land sale and improved operating position, but remained under ESFA intervention. • It was subject to a Notice of Concern in relation to financial management and control in June 2015. This notice was lifted in March 2017. • It was subject to Notices of Concern in relation to minimum standards in 2015, 2016 and 2017 for Apprenticeships. • The College was graded 3 (requires improvement) by Ofsted in its two most recent inspections, in June 2015 and May 2017.

  • Guildford College of Further and Higher Education
    Guildford College of Further and Higher Education REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE 1999-00 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council (FEFC) 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 inspects other further education provision funded by the FEFC. In fulfilling its work programme, the inspectorate 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. Cheylesmore House Quinton Road Coventry CV1 2WT Telephone 024 7686 3000 Fax 024 7686 3100 Website www.fefc.ac.uk © FEFC 2000 You may photocopy this report and use extracts in promotional or other material provided quotes are accurate, and the findings are not misrepresented.

  • Prospectus 2018/2019
    PROSPECTUS 2018/2019 1 Dear Parent/Carer, Thank you for taking the time to read this prospectus. Broadwater is a school with a unique ethos. We care about our students and know their hopes, dreams and aspirations. We are a school in the community for the community. Our motto ‘By increments conquer’ helps students realise that life is full of hurdles but with support, guidance and little bit of grit we can overcome these to achieve our ambitions. We look to ensure that our students are developing the skills for learning as well as developing their ability to take on new challenges, and of course those all important examinations. Our work as a lead school nationally and internationally, in Philosophy for Children, helps to develop students’ higher order thinking and questioning skills. We believe that these are the skills for life that our students need to not only succeed in school, but in their futures. Preparing students for their next stage is of the upmost importance to us. We strongly believe in collaborating with other schools to ensure that our students have the best educational offer possible. For many years Broadwater has been part of the Waverley Federation, and this year we enter into an exciting new partnership with Charterhouse School. We would encourage you to visit the school not just during open evening but during our working day as well. It is then that you will get a feel for the incredible support that is given to the students by a highly committed and professional body of teachers and support staff.

Advent seems to have just rushed by. Takeover day was brilliant and this year many of you will have seen that I was taken over by Lee who took on the task of welcoming and directing the taxis and families as they arrived on Friday afternoon to collect the students. It had such a positive impact on Lee that he has joined me again on Fridays ever since, to assist with this task, becoming very confident using the walkie-talkie radio to let people know which taxi has arrived for which student. Our Christingle services were very well attended by friends and families and the mince pies and tea afterwards turned into a very cosy affair in my office, I wondered if I might run out of chairs. The Christmas Fair was lovely and raised an amazing £475 with once again, so many families joining us for the festive fun. Nigel from Advance Voice & Data, who attend to all our communication systems at St Joseph’s, generously donated a brand new Echo Dot device as well as several tins of chocolates for the raffle. On a bitterly cold evening a gathering of St Joseph’s students and families attended the Wintershall Nativity Performance.
