Learning for Life

• Sheffield made a deliberate decision to invest in
  expanding choice in the curriculum at KS4 through
  vocational areas (broadly defined) so as to raise
  achievement at 16, staying on rates at 16, and
  achievement at 19.
• Initial emphasis was on 14-16 but much recent
  work on 16-19 and Foundation Degrees
• Includes Young Apprenticeships

Sheffield strategy for introducing the 11-19
reforms

• Capacity - Curriculum audit
• Collaboration Area Improvement Partnerships
• Workforce Development bid for first five
• IAG/CEG Prospectus/Apply Sheffield/LA contract
• Employer and other engagement Diploma delivery
  groups and Sector strategy groups

Costs of this strategy- delivery

• Costs of off site similar although greater
  emphasis on employer engagement
• But expect figure to be around 30 pspd
• Estimate 40 take up of diplomas
• So overall programme cost similar

• Diploma delivery groups)
• Sector Strategy groups ) 0.5 post per line of
  learning?
• But short term at least increased cost

12
Future issues

• Issues of transition for those with substantial
  existing off site, and does funding of diplomas
  off site eg NVQs
• Will AIPs evolve into soft governance
  federations?
• How do Trust schools and academies bear on these
  arguments?
• Suite of qualifications so important that Young
  apprenticeships and Reengagement is within the
  same funding envelope for 14-16
• 14-19 progression and entitlement goes up to
  level 2 at 19 some misgivings that all diploma
  funding is not through one route
