  • Strode College

    Strode College

    REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE Strode College February 1994 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council (FEFC) has a statutory duty to ensure that there are satisfactory arrangements to assess the quality of provision in the further education sector. It discharges the duty in part through its inspectorate, which reports on each college in the sector every four years. The Council’s inspectorate also assesses and reports on a national basis on specific curriculum areas and advises the Council’s quality assessment committee. College inspections involve both full-time inspectors and registered part- time inspectors who have specialist knowledge and experience in the areas they inspect. Inspection teams normally include at least one member from outside the world of education and a nominated member of staff from the college being inspected. GRADE DESCRIPTORS The procedures for assessing quality are described in Council Circular 93/28. In the course of inspecting colleges, inspectors assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Assessments are set out in their reports. They also summarise their judgements on the balance between strengths and weaknesses using a five-point scale. Each grade on the scale has the following descriptor: • grade 1 – provision which has many strengths and very few weaknesses • grade 2 – provision in which the strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses • grade 3 – provision with a balance of strengths and weaknesses •

    Daughtry's New Album Cage to Rattle out Now

    DAUGHTRY’S NEW ALBUM CAGE TO RATTLE OUT NOW RELEASES LIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEO OF CURRENT SINGLE “DEEP END” – WATCH HERE HEADLINE TOUR UNDERWAY! “The band fronted by the American Idol alum still stomps and swaggers on this fifth LP, which is loaded with still more no-frills, down-and-dirty area rock. And, of course, there’s the guy behind the mike: He easily upstages most other contemporary rockers”- People Magazine (July 27- New York, NY)— Today, GRAMMY® Award-nominated chart-topping rock band Daughtry unveil their anxiously awaited fifth full-length album, Cage To Rattle [19 Recordings/RCA Records], in stores and at all digital retailers. Additionally, the group releases a performance video of their current single, “Deep End” (watch here). Get the album HERE. The record is currently #2 on the iTunes Top Rock Albums Chart and #5 on the iTunes Overall Top Albums Chart. Cage To Rattle sees Daughtry once again firing on all cylinders. Produced by Jacquire King [Kings Of Leon, Tom Waits, Norah Jones] in Nashville, the album echoes the relentless energy and uncontainable spirit of the group’s most definitive anthems, while advancing boldly into new territory. Whether it’s the bluesy stomp and snap of “Backbone” or the sweeping piano of latest single “Deep End,” the album evinces evolution across the board for the musicians. About the album, Chris Daughtry said, “This is a really special time for us. We feel like we bottled the spirit and energy from our early days and refined it over the last decade together on the road and making records.
