  • 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 •

  • Walsall College 2019-20 Access and Participation Plan
    Walsall College 2019-20 Access and Participation Plan Assessment of current performance Walsall is the thirtieth most deprived local authority ward in the UK, with below average levels of employment and a high number of residents (30%) who are economically inactive, compared with the West Midlands (24.9%) and UK averages (22.3%). Walsall College stands out as a ‘beacon of hope’ within the Black Country area, and is proud to inspire our students to increase their aspirations and life goals. A recent study from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows Walsall in the top four towns in England with the greatest share of the most deprived households. Walsall is the eighth most deprived town in terms of education. The work the College does is vital to the regeneration of the greater Walsall area. Walsall has significantly lower qualifications within its population, when compared with England and Wales. The number of pupils leaving school without five GCSEs is 3% higher than the national average, at 50.8%. Of the 3,477 16-18 students starting in September 2016, over 50% had either no maths or English GCSE at grade C or above. The percentage of Walsall residents with a level 4 qualification has improved from 18.2% (in 2010) to 24.3% (in 2016), but is still 13% behind the national average. These statistics are at the heart of our Widening Participation Strategy. Socio-economic factors, whether measured in terms of family income, occupational classification or neighbourhood, remain a key factor of educational attainment at school level and access to Higher Education (HE) or Higher Apprenticeships.

    Designation of a body for English higher education information Government consultation response January 2018 Contents Introduction 3 Summary of responses received 4 Main findings from the consultation 4 Question analysis 5 Questions 1-2 5 Question 3 6 Question 4 7 Next steps 8 Annex A: List of organisations that responded to the consultation 9 Annex B: HESA Expression of interest for the role of the DDB 13 2 Introduction In order to meet the relevant consultation requirements set out in the Higher Education and Research Act 2017 (HERA), the Department for Education, on behalf of the new Office for Students (OfS), sought views from respondents across the HE sector, including providers and students on the role of the Designated Data Body (DDB) and the functions that it must carry out. It followed an invitation for expressions of interest in the role which closed on 19 September, and to which one body, the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) provided a submission. The consultation, published 19 October 2017, therefore explored the views of respondents on the suitability of HESA to fulfil the role of the DDB, and on the suitability of any other organisation which consultees wished to suggest, but which had not expressed an interest. The responses to this consultation received both digitally and informal written responses are now informing the OfS’s recommendation to the Secretary of State on designating a data body and decision-making and design in relation to its regulatory framework, which will be published by the end of March 2018. 3 Summary of responses received Overall there was overwhelming support for the HESA as a body that is credible and suitable to fulfil the role of the DDB.

  • West Midlands
    West Midlands Introduction The West Midlands has an area of just under 13,000 km2. Around 5.2 million people live in the region, giving a population density of 405 people per km2. This is close to the average for England, but West Midlands metropolitan county – which consists of Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton – is the second most densely populated urban area in the country after London. It has nearly 3,000 people per km2. Birmingham has just under 1 million inhabitants, making it the second largest city in the UK. Other significant urban areas are Stoke-on-Trent, Worcester, Coventry, Wolverhampton and Stafford. Economic development The economic output of the West Midlands is just around £63 billion, 8.2 per cent of the total UK GDP. Manufacturing industry is responsible for just over a quarter of employment and almost 30 per cent of GDP, the highest proportion for any region in the UK. However, the manufacturing industry is declining in favour of service industries. Unemployment in the region is above the national average at 5.9 per cent. The total income of higher education institutions in the region is over £990 million per year. Higher education provision There are 12 higher education institutions in the West Midlands: eight universities and four higher education colleges. There are an additional 41 further education colleges with students taking higher education courses. All nine Staffordshire FECs offering HE courses have joined a funding consortium of 12 institutions led by Staffordshire University. The higher education student population is over 127,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) students.
