  2. Y11 Progression Destinations

  3. Drop out

  4. Drop out but where next ..

  5. As a result what did we put in place • Early Intervention Database (RONI) • Integrated working of Connexions and IYS • Data reports at institutional level • Data transfer from pre to Post 16 • Progression Agreement • Managed Learning Transfer • Apprenticeship Progression Pathway • Other areas have examples of good practise, some of which you will hear in the workshops

  6. Early Intervention Database –RONI All secondary schools in the City - data which LA holds Key factors: • Attainment • SA/SA+ • BESD • Attendance • Social Care • Theory around the data vs the reality • Wider use within schools and the LA • Individual student printout

  7. How are we using the data? • Multi agency teams in schools • Identification and negotiation • Use of pre CAF and CAF • Allocation of a participation advisor • Use across LA teams LAC / EMAT / PRU / NCS • Data Transfer - Privacy Notice • Adding intended destinations to Y11 students

  8. Apprenticeship Progression Pathway

  9. Apprenticeship Progression Pathway –the rational and impetus Nationally: • the government are committed to the Apprenticeship route and want to expand the number of young people entering an Apprenticeship. • Changes to the HE funding make the access to HE through the apprenticeship route more attractive. • Drive towards Advanced (L3) Apprenticeship being the norm. Locally Derby needs to: • Have an appropriate mix and balance of provision in preparation for the Raising of the Participation Age from 2013 • increase the attainment of L3 @ 19 • reduce the drop out at 17 especially from L3 courses • diversify the curriculum offer within school 6th forms • have learners that are work ready / employable • In addition, employers seem to want to recruit 17 and 18 year olds for their Apprenticeship vacancies

  10. APP the structure • One year bridging course in Y12 with the intention of moving to an Advanced Apprenticeship in Y13 • School sixth form working in collaboration with other providers. Students remain on SSF roll. • APP is a 2 day a week programme. The remaining curriculum is arranged by the school. • Pathways in 2011/12 – Engineering, Business Admin and Professional Construction. Looking to develop for 2012/13 – Customer Service • APP curriculum – underpinning L2 vocational qualification, employability qualification, an extended period of work experience and maths and English (GCSE or FS) if not already attained at L2

  11. In reality … • Changing hearts and minds of leadership • Timetabling issues for schools • Seeing the APP as a first choice • Recruitment onto programme • Committed, collaborative, communicative approach • 7 students from one 6th form on the programme, expanding numbers next year • BME students • Excellent attendance and progress from students • Seeing the option as a mainstream option

  12. Managed Learning Transfer • Developed by Derby City LA, Connexions Derbyshire and local post 16 learning providers • Endorsed by the City’s 14-19 Partnership, IAG group and Integrated Youth Support Management group. • The intention of the Managed Learning Transfer (MLT) protocol is to provide a mechanism for learners at risk of disengagement, exclusion or non-progression from post 16 learningto be offered the opportunity of a smooth transition to other appropriate learning opportunities that may better meet their needs. • Seen as a last resort once other avenues of support for retention or progression within the learning provider have been exhausted. Used so far for “in year” potential drop out, not Y12 to Y13.

  13. MLT lessons learned • Good idea in principle but need to align other reporting mechanisms if they are in existence • First year paper system – have now moved to an electronic version – much more efficient for all • Trial with a few providers across all sectors before rolling out – you will get a lot of useful feedback • Need to designate a person to oversee and drive/maintain the process

  14. MLT Process • Providers complete a user friendly electronic form when a young person has exhausted all internal retention strategies of the institution – this takes a few minutes • On a weekly basis the returns are forwarded by the LA to a designated Connexions member of staff who assigns individual advisors to the young people. The target is to contact the young person within 2 weeks of being recorded on the MLT form • Any out of area young people (mainly Derbyshire) are referred to cross border colleagues (if over 18 Next Steps are informed) • On a monthly basis an analysis is done on the profile of the young people leaving learning

  15. The electronic form .. • Below is the web address at which you can find the leavers • form: • http://remote.derby.gov.uk/dccsurveys/RPA/RPA.htm • Please do not send in fictitious returns!!!
