Next Practice in System Leadership - Collaboration to deliver personalisation at 14-19

Some of the Next Practice field trial projects are exploring new ways of delivering personalised curricula for 14-19 year olds.

In Cumbria, schools are creating a new company to deliver education for this group across widely dispersed populations. In West Wiltshire, schools are collaborating with the local FE college to jointly deliver a personalised 14-19 curriculum and reduce the numbers of young people not in education, employment or training. In Haven, three secondary schools are creating a single new organisation, Gateway College, to provide education and training for all post-16 learners in the local area.

Grappling with how to deliver a 14-19 entitlement, the seven 11-19 community schools in Stevenage came together to form a 14-19 partnership, along with the two Special Schools, the PRU and the FE college. The Stevenage Partnership has initiated town-wide curriculum planning and developed joint blocked timetables, so that students can move around town to follow their courses.

14-19 - A collaborative enquiry

At the end of February, we invited our Field Trial Sites to join other practitioners in a collaborative enquiry, investigating Cross-Institutional 14-19 Approaches.

Ann Hodgson and Ken Spours wrote a think piece for the day, to provide stimulus for thought. You can read this think piece and a copy of their presentation.
