  8. Questions and Issues Staffing:How do you find appropriate staff to deliver the courses? How do you adapt the existing workforce? How do you appoint joint staff? Finance:Howdo you finance the institution and the partnership arrangements? What are the sources of finance? How much do you jointly contribute and individually draw out of the pot? Students:How do you assess demand for new courses? How do you get the right students on the right courses? How do you allocate places to each school? What has been the impact on other courses? How do students feel about moving to another school to work? How do you support students in other institutions? How do you arrange reporting, attendance monitoring, disciplinary issues etc? What collaborative arrangements are made with Special Schools? Timetabling: How does the delivery model work? Are there common days? What is the impact on the rest of the timetable? Transport:How does it operate? How is it financed? Does it work and who is responsible? Accountability:How do you hold all the partners to account? Do you ensure the arrangements are legally binding? What about a reluctant or less committed partner? Is it all worthwhile?What have been the benefits?

  21. Why re-model curriculum at Higher Performing Schools? [11-18 school] * Average of 232 students in each year cohort * Year on year 85 –90% @ 5+ A* - C GCSE * First in LA at KS3 entry, end of KS3 and KS4 * V good uptake in 6th Form, v good AS/A level results and high progression onto Higher Education

  22. BUT School has broadened KS4 curriculumReasoning: *10-15% of 232 is 23-35 students each year, higher ability to learning difficulties *Some of 5+ A*-C have different aspirations and change direction post 16 *More appropriate to offer different pathways from end of KS3 onwards than wait for post 16 opportunity *Sector Skills- ‘Skills Gaps’ –Construction, Engineering, Health and Care – opportunities for students Post-16: curriculum to cover more level 3 ‘vocational’ routes plus Specialised Diploma
