Access Agreement 2016/17 Access Agreement 2016/17 Background and context In a national system that values diversity, Bath Spa University is a distinctive, popular and successful institution that provides a student experience of the highest quality through innovative teaching and research. Our vision is to be a leading educational institution in creativity, culture and enterprise with graduates who are socially engaged global citizens. This Access Agreement will build upon a history of successful development of widening participation at the University which extends throughout the student life-cycle from outreach programmes with primary schools to graduation, postgraduate study and employment. It sets out how we will: safeguard and sustain fair access to our institution work to enhance the educational experience of all our students improve student retention, success and progression continue to develop and support our strategic partnerships with institutions that deliver Bath Spa University foundation degrees and academy, trust and teaching schools sustain our core outreach programme and broader collaborative outreach activity to raise educational aspiration and attainment and support progression in groups that remain under- represented in higher education.1 Section 1. Fees, student numbers, fee income and fee rises The tuition fees set out in this Access Agreement cover: all Home or European Union (EU) students who register for a first full-time undergraduate course, including Bath Spa University courses at further education colleges or with a private provider under franchise agreements, or a National College for Teaching and Leadership2 (NCTL)-funded full or part-time Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) ITT course in the academic year 2016/17 all Home or EU students who register for a part-time undergraduate course, including Bath Spa University courses at further education colleges or a private provider under franchise agreements, or a NCTL-funded part-time PGCE ITT course in the academic year 2016/17. 1.1 Undergraduate first degree courses We intend to set annual tuition fees for full-time undergraduate first degree courses at a rate equal to the variable fee ceiling set annually by the Government. In 2016/17 the tuition fee for a new full- time Home or EU entrant, who is not on a sandwich or placement year, will be £9,000 per year. For students who will undertake a sandwich placement as part of their course the tuition fee will be 1 Higher education outreach: targeting disadvantaged learners. Hefce, May 2007/12 2 Formerly the Teaching Agency until 1 April 2013 Page | 1 £1,800 for that year. For students undertaking an Erasmus or overseas study year as part of their course the tuition fee will be £1,350 for that year. To maintain their value in real terms, from 2016/17 we will apply annual increases to these fees in line with the amount set by the Government each year. 1.2 Franchised courses In 2016/17 tuition fees for franchised full-time undergraduate foundation and first degree courses delivered through our partnerships with further education colleges and a private provider will range from £7,500 to £9,000 per year for all Home and EU entrants. To maintain their value in real terms, from 2016/17 we will apply annual increases to these fees in line with the amount set by the Government each year. 1.3 National College for Teaching and Leadership-funded full-time PGCE ITT courses We intend to set annual tuition fees for full-time NCTL-funded PGCE ITT courses at a rate equal to the variable fee ceiling set annually by the Government. For new Home and EU entrants to NCTL-funded full-time PGCE courses in 2016/17 the tuition fee will be £9,000 per year. To maintain their value in real terms, from 2016/17 we will apply annual increases to these fees in line with the amount set by the Government each year. 1.4 Part-time fees It is our intention that part-time designated fees will be set at a level proportionate to the full time fee for the course, for example, a student studying 50% of a full-time course attracting a tuition fee of £9,000 will be charged £4,500. Under our undergraduate modular scheme full-time students study modules totalling 120 credits, while part-time students normally study modules totalling 40 to 80 credits each year. In 2016/17, where the full-time equivalent fee is £9,000, this will cost part- time Home and EU students between £3,000 and £6,000, depending on the number of credits their modules attract.3 To maintain their value in real terms, from 2016/17 we will apply annual increases to these fees in line with the amount set by the Government each year. 1.5 Fee levels and estimated number of students Fee levels for full-time undergraduate first degree, postgraduate ITT, sandwich courses, Erasmus and overseas study years and foundation degree courses and an estimate of the number of entrants on each for the academic years 2015/16 to 2019/20 are listed in Table 1, and part-time courses in Table 2 of the 2016/17 Resource Plan submitted with this document. 3 http://www.bathspa.ac.uk/study-with-us/undergraduate/fees-and-finance (Accessed April 2015) Page | 2 Section 2. Expenditure on additional access, success and progression measures The following estimated expenditure was based on the assessment of the University’s access, student success and progression record described in Section 2.2. 2.1 Estimated expenditure on additional access, success and progression measures In 2016/17, the University will invest over £3.2m from additional fee income in access, success and progression measures. This will include the Bath Spa University Bursary Scheme and additional support for students experiencing financial hardship through the Bath Spa University Access Fund (BSU AF) and Trainee Teacher Fund (TTF) (Table 2.0). Table 2.0 Estimated expenditure on access, success and progression measures 2016/17* BSU Bursaries BSU Access/TTF Student Student Year Outreach (including follow- Fund success progression Total on awards) 2016/17 £710,000 £1,280,600 £160,000 £687,000 £444,000 £3,281,600 *Estimated expenditure is based on projected student numbers for 2016/17 and may be subject to adjustment on confirmation of actual additional fee income. We estimate that our total spend on access, success and progression measures as a proportion of tuition fee income over £6,000 for full-time and £4,500 for part-time Home and EU students will be 18% in 2016/17. 2.2 Assessment of access, success and progression record The assessment of the University’s expenditure on additional access and success measures was based on the analysis of absolute and relative performance in key HESA widening participation performance indicators for undergraduate students and Teaching Agency (TA)4 performance profiles for groups currently under-represented in the teaching profession. The HESA benchmarks rather than comparisons with the overall sector average were used to compare our performance indicators with the sector average, because benchmarks take account of the University’s subject and entry qualification profile.5 Performance indicators in access and success for postgraduate ITT were compared with those of the TA sector average, where possible. Assessment of expenditure on additional student progression measures was based on an analysis of HESA Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey (DLHE) data and TA destination profiles. 2.2.1 Access The 2013/14 HESA performance indicators relating to the recruitment of undergraduate students from state schools or colleges, specified socio-economic classes and POLAR3 low participation neighbourhoods were used to assess the University’s access performance. For all HESA widening participation indicators, the relative access performance of the University was similar to that of the sector average, allowing for subject and entry qualifications. For young full-time degree and undergraduate entrants, performance was better than benchmark for entrants from NS-SEC 4-7 backgrounds (Table 2.1, Appendix 1). A three-year average (2009/10 to 2011/12) of TA performance profiles relating to the recruitment of men into Primary and Early Years PGCE ITT and trainees from a BME background or with a disclosed 4 The National College for Teaching and Leadership since 1 April 2013 5 HESA (2015). https://www.hesa.ac.uk/pis/benchmarks (Accessed April 2014) Page | 3 disability into PGCE ITT (all phases) was used to assess the University’s access performance. Over this period, our relative performance in widening access for men into Primary and Early Years ITT and trainees with a disclosed disability was better than the TA sector average, but for BME entrants into all phases of ITT it was worse than the sector average (Table 2.2, Appendix 1). 2.2.2 Success The HESA performance indicators relating to non-continuation following year of entry and projected learning outcomes for 2012/13 were used to assess the University’s undergraduate student retention performance. The relative retention of mature full-time first degree entrants was better than the sector average, allowing for subject and entry qualifications. For all other HESA student retention indicators, the relative retention performance of the University was similar to that of the sector average (Table 2.3, Appendix 1). Matched early leaver data showed that proportions of male students, mature students, those that self-identified their ethnicity to be non-white, students from POLAR2 quintiles 1 and 2 (LPNs) and students who entered with non-A-level qualifications in the 2010/11 early leaver cohort from Bath Spa University were lower than in early leaver cohorts from the Post ’92 and Million+ peer institutions that took part in the UCAS Back on Course project.

  • 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 •

The project area is the Peninsula of Devon and Cornwall, two neighbouring counties in the South West of England with a combined population of 1,664,500, 1,135,000 in Devon and 529,500 in Cornwall. Both counties have a rural element, a strong maritime heritage, are tourist regions and important retirement locations. The Peninsula area embraces numerous heritage sites, national parks and some of the nation’s finest tourist sites, notably the internationally renowned Eden Project. Devon and Cornwall share significant common features and have similar challenges and ambitions. In terms of administration, Cornwall has a single unitary authority whilst Devon consists of a County Council with 8 local government districts and 2 separately administered Unitary Authorities. Both Devon and Cornwall are actively engaged with the South West Regional Development Authority (SWRDA) and the Government Office of the South West (GOSW). Whilst the area’s attractiveness as a rural location is a positive feature, its distance and remoteness from the rest of England creates logistical problems for businesses wishing

  • 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.
