ACLC: Why develop Programmes? [63% @ 5+ A* - C GCSE. Good CVA. High Performing]

*Progression-continuity opportunities for students with different aspirations

* AS/A Level figures. [ 31% c/w 41% LA ]

* NEET figures [ 7.1% c/w 4.1% LA]

[Post-16: Drop –out rates]

* 6.7% Adults in Higher Education

[2001 Census Figs for England 19.8%]

Why develop programmes at Higher Performing Schools? [11-18 school]

* Average of 232 students in each year cohort

* V good uptake - AS/A level-onto Higher Education

* First in LA at KS3 entry, end of KS3 and KS4

* Year on year 85 –90% @ 5+ A* - C GCSE

*Sector Skills- ‘Skills Gaps’ –Construction, Engineering, Health and Care – opportunities

for students

*More appropriate to offer different pathways from end of KS3 onwards than wait for post

16 opportunity

*Some of 5+ A*-C have different aspirations and change direction post 16

*10-15% of 232 is 23-35 students each year, higher ability to learning difficulties
