I am writing to confirm the tcome of the FE Commissioner Structure and Prospect · Appraisal of your Colle , and to set out the actions we now expect the College to take to ensure the Appraisal outcomes, and the FE Commissioner's earlier assessment, are fully implemented. I am very grateful for the support that the FE Commissioner has received from yourself and the College during the Appraisal, and the steps you have taken to date to respond to the recommendations in my predecessor's letter of 22 April 2014. As you are aware, in light of the notification by the Skills Funding Agency that the College's financial health is inadequate, the FE Commissioner reviewed the position of your College between 17 and 28 March 2014. The FE Commissioner acknowledged the capacity and capability of the governance and leadership to deliver financial recovery in the short term, but concluded that the College could not continue to operate on its own. The FE Commissioner was asked to lead a Structure and Prospects Appraisal to determine the way forward for land-based provision in the area. This Appraisal was completed in September 2014. I have now received the FE Commissioner's Appraisal report - a copy of which is attached.

  • Hartpury University 10080811 Access and Participation Plan
    Hartpury University 10080811 Access and participation plan 2020-21 to 2024-25 1. Assessment of performance1 Since 2012, Hartpury has submitted Access Agreements and associated plans and returns successfully as a Further Education Corporation (FEC). In 2018, we transferred to the Higher Education (HE) sector and gained University title (having achieved Taught Degree Awarding Powers (TDAP) in 2017). Hartpury’s organisational structure evolved significantly, resulting in Hartpury College and Hartpury University, two specialist organisations, side-by-side on one campus with a shared mission and set of values. Hartpury University is therefore uniquely positioned to meet national priorities, and we remain agile and responsive to changes in performance where there is evidence of inequality. Inclusivity and widening access remains at the heart of what we do. We are proud of our history of successfully supporting students from non-traditional backgrounds in HE and currently 42% of our students are included within one or more of our target groups2. We are committed to being ‘inclusive in all we do’ (a strategic priority within the ‘Hartpury 2025’3 strategy). We recognise particular strengths associated with mature students and those disclosing disability and we champion all student achievements at Hartpury. As a relatively small HE institution (HEI) (circa. 1800 HE students), focused on specialist provision in Agriculture, Equine, Sport, Veterinary Nursing, and Animal, we have valued the opportunity to review and assess our performance as part of this exercise. Our analysis focuses on full-time undergraduate students, due to the low number of part time students enrolled at Hartpury, and predominantly uses data provided by Office for Students (OfS) dashboard unless otherwise stated.

  • Aylesbury College
    Aylesbury College REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE 1997-98 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council has a legal duty to make sure further education in England is properly assessed. The FEFC’s inspectorate inspects and reports on each college of further education according to a four-year cycle. It also assesses and reports nationally on the curriculum, disseminates good practice and advises the FEFC’s quality assessment committee. College inspections are carried out in accordance with the framework and guidelines described in Council Circulars 97/12, 97/13 and 97/22. Inspections seek to validate the data and judgements provided by colleges in self-assessment reports. They involve full-time inspectors and registered part-time inspectors who have knowledge of, and experience in the work they inspect. A member of the Council’s audit service works with inspectors in assessing aspects of governance and management. All colleges are invited to nominate a senior member of their staff to participate in the inspection as a team member.

  • Sixth Form Colleges' Fine Art Exhibition Catalogue
    Sixth Form Colleges’ Fine Art Exhibition Catalogue 17 - 20 March 2014 House of Commons THE ART The AoC Sixth Form Colleges’ Art Exhibition showcases some of the best Fine Art produced by students. The criteria were broad and images were chosen for their aesthetic and technical qualities with the range of entries highlighting the open and inclusive nature of the competition. Art remains an essential part of the curriculum in sixth form colleges and the exhibition celebrates the excellence of their students and the superb staff who teach them. THE ENTRIES We received many hundreds of submissions from students aged between 16 and 18. The entries highlighted not only the quality but also the extraordinary diversity of art in colleges. The entries were shortlisted to 21 images which represent work from 20 sixth form colleges. THE EXHIBITION The art will be on display in the Upper Waiting Hall of the House of Commons from 17 - 20 March, following an official launch. AoC is delighted that the Speaker, Secretary of State for Education, and politicians of all parties are supporting this exhibition, making the occasion even more special for the students and teachers.
