  1. Resilient Leadership Jay Trivedy

  2. Some Changes • Academies; UTCs; Free Schools • Changing nature of Teacher Training;“Death threat for dozens of PGCE courses after seven are forced to close,” TES 10/06 • The abolition of EMA • Convergence in Post 16 funding; “Our priority with the 2011/12 funding allocation has been to protect the main programme of 16-19 learning and education,” YPLA • Reduction in funding for enrichment • Diminishing role of LAs

  3. Leadership focus • Remaining true to you values • Reviewing provision and assumptions • Focusing on students and their needs • Streamlining provision • Considering a range of models that address timetables, time allocations, choices and collaborative models

  4. “More for Less” Some options: • Cross subsidisation of key provision • Reduction in time allocation for subjects • Reduction in tutorial contact time • Reduction in enrichment activities • Focus on core provision only • Increased reliance on “good will” • Out sourcing certain functions

  5. Prioritising • Students’ needs • advice & guidance • Support • Progression • Tracking and monitoring • Independent learning • Other skills ( note taking, revision, citizenship, enterprise…) • Maximising funding • Recruitment levels • Retention, achievement and success

  6. Models • 5 to 1.5 Hours for A levels :changing culture in relation to teaching and learning within the school/college. Need for CPD and developing consistency & confidence within curriculum teams to provide structured and independent tasks. Developing the VLE. • Lunchtime and evening provision for ‘minority’ subjects • Training and using students to deliver support • Signing in system for 1:1 interviews without group tutorials • Reducing tutorial time and focusing in on very specific functions • No tutorials with all of the tracking carried out within lessons with specialist Post 16 staff available and present in the sixth form area to advise & support students • ‘Buying in’ a team of specialist staff to deliver UCAS, careers, organise visits

  7. Challenging Assumptions • Does the allocation of additional time lead to better attainment and produce better students? • Do we need tutors at Post 16? • How much do staff value being tutors? • Could a small number of specialist staff oversee the progress of Post 16 students? • Why shouldn’t schools ‘buy in’ independent expertise to organise & provide enrichment? It could conceivably be cheaper and of better quality. Couldn’t the funding that is spent on tutorials be better spent?
