  42. Roughly how many students will take part on each course and at which levels? Key Stage 4: • Sept 2008 = Present Year 7 (2005-6) • Schools need to profile Year 7 for likely level of learning in KS4 • Predict demand for 5 subjects • Some Considerations: • Present Experience of KS4 choices – GCSEs, IFP, BTECs • 2-21/2 days • Open offer across network

  43. Mock Example 1 • 5 schools 2 colleges offering 5 diplomas • 150 students on average in year 10 group • 25% sign up predicted Class size=25 or 14 (w/shops) *Also need to predict numbers for Key Stage 5*

  44. Mock Example 2 • 8 schools, one college offering 3 diplomas • 150 students on average in year group • 10% sign up predicted Class size=25 or 14 (w/shops) This model would have to run alongside other options, such as BTECs and IFP initially *Also need to predict numbers for Key Stage 5*
