  • What Is School Direct? What Are the Routes?
    What is School Direct? School Direct is a programme whereby schools recruit trainees directly and select them to train and work within their partnership schools. Schools, therefore, have more control over the quality of training that is provided and how it is delivered. We guarantee an interview for any relevant post in a partnership school for those who are successful on the programme with us. What are the routes? There are two routes into School Direct: Salaried and non- salaried. The salaried route is aimed at graduates with at least 3 years work experience and is an employment based route into teaching. The non-salaried route is open to all graduates funded by tuition fees paid by the graduate. Our School Direct programmes will lead you to gaining a PGCE in conjunction with our partnership universities. Who is in our partnership? The Warwick School (Lead School) (www.warwick.surrey.sch.uk) Reigate School (http://www.reigate-school.surrey.sch.uk) Oakwood School (http://www.oakwood.surrey.sch.uk) Reigate College (http://www.reigate.ac.uk/) Royal Alexandra and Albert School (http://www.raa-school.co.uk/) University of Sussex (http://www.sussex.ac.uk/education) University of Brighton (http://about.brighton.ac.uk/education/) St. Mary’s University College, Twickenham (http://www.smuc.ac.uk/education-theology-and- leadership/) We have a very successful and long-standing tradition of working with these schools and universities and have been fortunate enough to offer permanent employment to several of our PGCE student teachers in the past. What kind of training can we offer you? The model for training that we will follow will primarily focus on training in the classroom as well as having regular focused training days delivered by outstanding practitioners.

Variation of condition 8 of permission 03/00711/F which states: No more than 1200 students are permitted on site at any one time. All plans in this report have been reproduced, are not to scale, and are for illustrative purposes only. The original plans should be viewed/referenced for detail. This application is referred following the deferral from the 27th November Committee Meeting, to secure additional information. SUMMARY This application proposes the variation of condition 8 attached to a 2003 planning application for extension works to the College, which imposed a limit of 1200 pupils being on the site at any time. In reality it appears possible that more than 1200 pupils may already, on occasion, be on the site and that as a result of changes to the courses on offer, the way in which students’ study and student numbers that this number could be exceeded in the future and this application seeks to address this fact. The application originally proposed the removal of the condition, but it has been agreed with the applicant that a new condition be imposed with a limit of 1900 pupils – calculated to be sufficient to accommodate anticipated student numbers resulting from curriculum and student number changes.

  • Many Students Choose to Go to a Local 6Th Form Or College but There Are Other Choices Too, Like Studying at a College Or a Trai
    Many students choose to go to a local 6th form or college but there are other choices too, like studying at a college or a training provider or getting a job with training. What is important is to choose the course or training to suit your skills and aspirations. The pathway you choose will be based on the following: • The GCSE grades you have achieved or expect to achieve • How you like to learn • Where and what you would like to study later • What you want to do in the future Choosing the right courses can be critical for some career paths and it’s important to not unintentionally close off paths that you may wish to pursue later on in your career. What you can do to make the right choice: • Find out about different careers that interest you • Get advice from the people who know you like your parents and teachers and from The Careers Team at School • Look at the qualifications on offer to you at 6th forms and other local colleges and also consider whether an apprenticeship might be a good route for you. Choosing the right courses for university If you have a particular degree or subject in mind, now is the time to check out the entry requirements on the UCAS site, so that your post 16 choices are the right ones to ensure you get where you want to go post 18! If you really don't know what you want to do at 18, but you think higher education might be of interest then choose a broad range of subjects at 16 so you have maximum choice of university subjects later.
