    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 •

  • Art & Design End of Year Catalogue 2020
    End of year show Art & Design Student Show Catalogue June 2020 Cover photo credit Photographer: Catherine Hyde Fashon designer: Ellen Kinder Katy Quinn Principal, Strode College Welcome to Strode College’s End of Year Show 2020 Strode has held an end of year Art Show for several decades and the staff and students were determined to not let Covid-19 stand in the way of this well- established tradition. So the 2020 End of Year Show marks another innovative and creative approach through an E-book, building on the more traditional, historical venues such as Crispin Hall and Moorlands Factory. Typically, I’d be welcoming you in person to our End of Year Show, an annual event that is pivotal in the Art and Design calendar. But this year I am welcoming you virtually and am delighted that we can still showcase the amazing artwork that is tes- tament to the efforts and skills of students and staff from Creative Arts and Design. Quite clearly, this year we needed to reconsider how to celebrate and share the work undertaken in the visual arts; hopefully you will enjoy the work that is presented in this book and even recognise some of our artists and their work. It is pleasing to see that range of disciplines have been explored and are well represented by the students in Art and Design. I hope you enjoy the references in props and set design to ‘The Little Shop of Horrors’ which was a joint venture between our visual and performing arts team. We now need to find a suitable space in the college to showcase “Audrey!” Other positive collaborations include the live shoe design brief undertaken with Clarks design and innovation team, which provides our students with a wonderful insight into corporate design.

  • Progress on Strategic Goals and Impact Report 2019
    The Alcohol Education Trust Progress On Strategic Goals And Impact Report 2019 Progress on strategic goals and impact report 2019 - page 1 Progress on strategic goals and impact report 2019 - page 2 Introduction from Vicky McDonaugh, Chair of Trustees Thanks to the dedication of our staff, Trustees and volunteers, together with the energy of Helena, we have had 3 very successful 10th anniversary celebrations in 2019 and have reflected on our not inconsiderable achievements over the decade. It is now time to look forward to our next 10 years. In this report, you will see how the Alcohol Eduction Trust (AET) expects to deepen and expand its remit. Both in terms of geography, outreaches to more vulnerable young people and in the number of schools and settings using our highly evaluated materials. One of the main reasons I joined the AET was to try and reduce levels of drunkenness among young people, a key contributing factor to unwanted pregnancies and STDs. In its 2018 report, the BPAS (British Pregnancy Advisory Service) identifies low levels of alcohol consumption as one of the main reasons why teenage pregnancy rates have fallen by 55% in the last decade, to the lowest ever level. I have no doubt that the AET, in providing the only evidence based alcohol education programme used in schools, has contributed to this decline. In 2020 we move into a new office with a cafe attached, which will bring a regular income to the charity. 2020 will also see AET materials being used in an increasing number of schools as elements of PSHE, including alcohol education, become statutory.
