    Staffordshire University Access Agreement 2018-19

    STAFFORDSHIRE UNIVERSITY ACCESS AGREEMENT 2018-19 Introduction 1. Staffordshire University has developed an ambitious new statement of its strategy, expressed in its Strategic Plan 2016-2020 approved by the Board of Governors in September 2016. In the section on Connecting Communities, the plan states that the University will: work with our Schools, Colleges and Partners to continue to RAISE ASPIRATIONS and improve progression in the region into Higher Education be connected LOCALLY contributing to local social and economic development and to improve the local education standards of our community offer flexible, inclusive and ACCESSIBLE COURSES supporting study anytime and anywhere. 2. These strong statements of intent direct the University’s approach to widening participation in higher education and to the promotion of social mobility. The refreshed approach is described in this 2018-19 Access Agreement. As the new statement of strategic direction was approved after the 2017-18 Access Agreement was submitted, there have been certain changes of emphasis and balance between this Access Agreement and the previous one. 3. To ensure a coherent high quality experience for all students at each stage of their education, the University has established the Student Journey programme, described in more detail later. It spans the range from outreach and recruitment through transition to University, retention of those recruited, supporting academic success and the development of wider employability attributes leading to employment or further study. These stages fully align with the access, student success and progression dimensions of the OFFA guidance. 4. The University has established a wide network of partner institutions, including local sixth form and further education colleges and through those partnerships is able to provide flexible and diverse routes to higher education.

    Integrated Quality and Enhancement Review

    Integrated quality and enhancement review Summative review South Staffordshire College April 2011 SR 53/2010 © The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education 2011 ISBN 978 1 84979 326 1 All QAA's publications are available on our website www.qaa.ac.uk Registered charity numbers 1062746 and SC037786 South Staffordshire College Preface The mission of the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) is to safeguard the public interest in sound standards of higher education qualifications and to inform and encourage continual improvement in the management of the quality of higher education. As part of this mission, QAA undertakes reviews of higher education provision delivered in further education colleges. This process is known as Integrated quality and enhancement review (IQER). Purpose of IQER Higher education programmes delivered by further education colleges (colleges) lead to awards made by higher education institutions or Edexcel. The awarding bodies retain ultimate responsibility for maintaining the academic standards of their awards and assuring the quality of the students' learning opportunities. The purpose of IQER is, therefore, to safeguard the public interest in the academic standards and quality of higher education delivered in colleges. It achieves this by providing objective and independent information about the way in which colleges discharge their responsibilities within the context of their partnership agreements with awarding bodies. IQER focuses on three core themes: academic standards, quality of learning opportunities and public information. The IQER process IQER is a peer review process. It is divided into two complementary stages: Developmental engagement and Summative review. In accordance with the published method, colleges with less than 100 full-time equivalent students funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) may elect not to take part in Developmental engagements, but all HEFCE-funded colleges will take part in Summative review.

Discrete elements of the analysis, purely relating to supply, were completed beyond this point due to the limitations of lockdown. Executive Summary 1. This Economic Needs Assessment has been produced by Turley – alongside a separate but linked Housing Needs Assessment (HNA) – on behalf of Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council and Stoke-on-Trent City Council (‘the Councils’). It is intended to update their employment land evidence, last reviewed in 20151, and comply with national planning policy that has since been revised2. It provides evidence to inform the preparation of a Joint Local Plan, while establishing links with ambitious economic strategies that already exist to address local and wider priorities in this area. 2. It should be noted at the outset that while this report takes a long-term view guided by trends historically observed over a reasonable period of time, it has unfortunately been produced at a time of exceptional economic volatility.

    Stoke-On-Trent (Uk) Policy Brief #3 • Compact Connected City

    STOKE-ON-TRENT (UK) POLICY BRIEF #3 • COMPACT CONNECTED CITY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This policy brief displays a successful compact and connected city solution – the consolidation of Staffordshire University into a distinct University Quarter – that has been implemented in Stoke-on-Trent – a medium-size polycentric industrial city in central England1, coping with population loss. Building on local knowledge and stakeholders’ experiences, it shows how better integration of local knowledge infrastructure can improve the compactness and connectivity of the city. It reveals a number of conditions to make it happen. The key lesson is that achieving compactness and connectivity depends on building unique university expertise, meeting the current and future requirements, and aspirations of the academic staff, students, and visitors, and on providing good learning, teaching, and everyday life experience. INTRODUCTION For a city of its size, Stoke-on-Trent has rather sound knowledge infrastructure, being home to four institutions of further and higher education. They include Staffordshire University (14,910 students in total), Stoke-on-Trent College (17,000 students), the City of Stoke-on-Trent Sixth Form College (1,800 students), and Royal Stoke University Hospital, a teaching and research body affiliated with Keele University School of Medicine (750 students). The University of Keele itself (with 10,600 students in total) is located approximately 4 miles (7 km) west of Stoke. These many advantages notwithstanding, until recently, the city had not been able fully to explore and utilise its knowledge base for urban regeneration. For decades, this heavily industrialised urban area has struggled with both attracting potential students and retaining fresh graduates.

    Problem-Based Learning: A Case Study of Sustainability Education A toolkit for university educators ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sophie Bessant, Patrick Bailey, Zoe Robinson, C. Bland Tomkinson, Rosemary Tomkinson, R. Mark Ormerod, Rob Boast Foreword ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Surely one of the best ways of starting to understand the complexity of sustainability is to actually tackle a genuine problem, and to tease out the various factors and issues that are associated with potential 'answers'? Of course, one of the first lessons to be learnt is that only rarely is there a single 'right' answer, and 'solutions' almost always come with strings attached. These complex scenarios with no 'right' answer are often called 'wicked problems', and the process of learning about the issues through studying the scenario and trying to answer key questions about it is called 'problem-based learning' (PBL). This toolkit is designed to provide some helpful advice, scenarios and observations about using PBL to teach students about sustainability, with a particular emphasis on how to scale up PBL without it becoming prohibitively expensive. It has been compiled by colleagues from Keele, Manchester and Staffordshire Universities, who have been jointly running a three year HEA-funded project to explore how to increase the numbers of students studying a module in sustainability, at levels ranging from 1st year at University through to postgraduates. Ensuring that our all of our graduates have an awareness of issues concerning the environment and sustainability is a crucial remit for our universities. The time available to us to make these solutions work is not limitless. If we can't equip this generation of young people of young people with the skills, then we may well pay a very heavy price.

Since its inception the Charity has persistently and influentially worked to lift standards, develop training qualifications and build networks across the UK’s conservation, repair and maintenance (CRM) sector, estimated at over 40% of all construction industry activities. This has involved working partnerships with national agencies, professional and standard setting bodies, educational establishments and training interests. This study is directed towards a general audience and those wishing to increase their knowledge of The Potteries area, and its specific form and type of buildings in addition to assisting in providing a framework for carrying out similar regional studies.

A separate document covering services and facilities in the rural area has been published. 1.3 The majority of the survey work for all the settlement assessments was carried out during the Spring and Summer 2007 by officers from the Forward Planning section of Stafford Borough Council. During the site visits local services, their location and opening times were recorded in order to confirm previous desktop based research regarding local services and facilities. This technical work is now available for consideration by the local community and key stakeholders in order to ensure the information collected is accurate.
