First Step to Piloting in Sept 2008 – Information needed by July 7th 2006: • The Make-up of the consortium • Which lines and levels will the consortium offer in September 2008? • Why is the consortium best placed to offer the pilot specialised diploma? • How many students will take part on each course?

Roughly how many students will take part on each course and at which levels? Key Stage 4: • Sept 2008 = Present Year 7 (2005-6) • Schools need to profile Year 7 for likely level of learning in KS4 • Predict demand for 5 subjects • Some Considerations: • Present Experience of KS4 choices – GCSEs, IFP, BTECs • 2-21/2 days • Open offer across network
Mock Example 1 • 5 schools 2 colleges offering 5 diplomas • 150 students on average in year 10 group • 25% sign up predicted Class size=25 or 14 (w/shops) *Also need to predict numbers for Key Stage 5*
Mock Example 2 • 8 schools, one college offering 3 diplomas • 150 students on average in year group • 10% sign up predicted Class size=25 or 14 (w/shops) This model would have to run alongside other options, such as BTECs and IFP initially *Also need to predict numbers for Key Stage 5*
