Thank you for considering the Stafford Collegiate as the place to continue your education. We believe that we provide the best post-16 curriculum offer in the area. The Stafford Collegiate has been working successfully as a partnership of post-16 education providers for several years. It offers an outstanding range of courses at both A Level and BTEC for students from all the Stafford high schools and Stafford College. The goal of the Collegiate is to maximise the opportunities for all students in Stafford by ensuring they have access to the broadest possible curriculum.

A unique feature of Stafford Collegiate is that whilst each partner retains its independence, identity and culture, co-operation takes place where it is clear students will benefit. Students gain the advantage of belonging to an institution which will support them through KS5 and give them all necessary advice, information and guidance, pastoral care, tutorial support and enrichment. Alongside this a student can take full advantage of choosing a programme of study for the sixth form from amongst the courses offered at each school, at the Chetwynd Centre and at Stafford College.

It should be recognised that some courses are available at more than one institution. Students will normally take a course at their own school or college if it is part of that institution’s curriculum offer, but can also take full advantage of opting to follow courses on offer in all partner institutions. This may involve travelling between schools, Chetwynd and College, and to allow this to happen all partners operate a broadly common timetable.

As you will be a Collegiate student, irrespective of which school you attend, there is a common application process, which is completed on-line. Your application form will be pre-populated with your personal details. You will be given a user name and password for access to the application form, and you will be guided through the process at your school. The courses appear in blocks A-E, as they do in this prospectus.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Collegiate in 2011.

This is an exciting time for Y11 students and it is vital that you research your future programme of study very carefully. You should think about your possible post-18 options and, in doing so, you may wish to look at university prospectuses or websites to view entry criteria. You should also consider your own strengths, see where you are succeeding, but also consider courses which may be new to you: psychology, law, media studies, etc. Take time to read carefully the individual course specification sheets available from all the Stafford high schools, the Chetwynd Centre, Stafford College, or on the website, before making your choice.

By using this prospectus you can work out your timetable when discussing your preferred programme of study and see what travel implications it may involve. Do not be put off by this. As a sixth form student you will gain a good experience of what life beyond school, such as university, might be like.

The best advice is if there is any issue you are unsure about, ask! Some students may not know what AS and A Levels are or the difference between BTEC Level 3 Certificates and Diplomas. Take as much advice as you can from school, home, advisors and, of course, the Connexions Service. Using the special spreadsheet available in all schools you can even view your predicted A level grades by entering your target GCSE points score.

The application process usually begins early in the Spring Term. Each school hosts a Post-16 Evening, and there is an open day at the Chetwynd Centre, and several are held at Stafford College. You make your provisional application by the beginning of March, but you are able to make alterations to this once you receive your GCSE results in August.

Making Choices In order to widen the choice of subjects for students at Post-16, the Stafford Collegiate has a collaboration agreement with all the Stafford high schools and Stafford College. Students from these institutions may select courses on offer at any post-16 partner institution. Please be assured the timetable is designed to minimise any impact on your learning as a result of studying a course at a different institution.

We fully understand that you may not be able to say, at this moment, precisely what subjects you will want to study next September, as a great deal depends on the measure of success you achieve in the examinations this summer.

We ask you, therefore, to make your preliminary choices, so that we can make plans for September, and as an indication that you wish to be considered for a Post-16 place in the Stafford Collegiate. Please note, however, that if only a small number of students opt for a particular course, it may not run.

It is very important that during this process you seek help and guidance from the appropriate subject teacher and subject leaders when you are in any doubt. Although there is some commonality between courses offered in the Collegiate, there will be differences in specifications and students are advised to consult the course specifications on the website www.thestaffordcollegiate.org or contact the Collegiate for further details.

Stafford College Stafford College offers an extensive range of A-levels and vocational courses. In some cases it is possible to study towards vocational and academic qualifications. The college has a reputation for vocational courses in a wide-range of specialist areas. Students progress on to university courses or utilise strong links with employers to go directly from college into rewarding careers. Most vocational subjects are offered at Level 2 and Level 3. For full information about a subject of particular interest visit www.staffordcoll.ac.uk or telephone 01785 275468 and request a copy of the Full-Time Course Guide or enquire to the college for a guidance interview or details of the open events

Because of the different combinations of courses available, there is a clear set of entry criteria for students following courses through the Stafford Collegiate:

• To study four AS Level courses or a Level 3 BTEC and two AS Level courses in Y12, you must achieve a minimum of 5 GCSE passes at A*-C in at least four different subject areas, including Mathematics and English. You must also attain a GCSE average points score in excess of 40.

• To study three AS Level courses, or a Level 3 BTEC and an AS Level in Y12, you must achieve a minimum of 5 GCSE passes at A*-C in at least four different subject areas, including Mathematics and English.

• To study Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages or Music you will be required to achieve at least a B grade in that subject at GCSE.

• To study Science (Biology, Human Biology, Chemistry or Physics) at A Level you will be required to achieve at least a B grade in that subject at GCSE or in Additional Science.

• To study Further Mathematics you will be required to achieve an A/A* grade in Mathematics at GCSE.

• To study other subjects already taken at GCSE you must achieve a grade C or above.

• To study Level 3 Vocational Courses you will need an A*-C pass in at least five GCSE subjects, including Mathematics and English, or a BTEC First Certificate at Merit or above.

Where applicants offer alternative qualifications or more than one qualification in the same subject, they may be referred to the Admissions Panel. This comprises representatives of all partners. The panel reserves the right not to offer a place on a course to students who, it believes, would not benefit from it.

Induction We are aware that transition from KS4 to KS5 can be stressful. Some of our partners offer taster weeks after the GCSE examinations have finished in July.

In order to provide students with the best possible start, during the first week of lessons in September, all students undergo a period of induction. This includes an introduction to study skills, familiarisation with the different centres at which you may be studying and an introduction to the requirements of individual subject areas, the syllabus and skills required.

Private Study Some of every student’s timetable will be shown as Private Study. Students are expected to take responsibility for their learning and work. It is expected that students should spend at least three hours per subject per week studying outside of lessons.

Target Setting and Monitoring Each Collegiate student is set a series of personalised target grades based on their previous academic performance. Progress against these targets is monitored on a regular basis. Where current achievement is below the target, strategies will be agreed to ensure necessary progress is made. This process ensures that students are focused throughout their course, that they remain well motivated and retain a sense of realism about their academic performance.

Pastoral Support Every Collegiate student is entitled to pastoral support with their assigned tutor who has responsibility for overseeing their students’ progress, agreeing academic targets, discussing progress and working on applications to university, college or workplace.

Enrichment Within the Collegiate there is an extensive range of enrichment activities offered to students. This may include additional AS subjects, Open University qualifications or further recreational and academic options.

This agreement lists the responsibilities and entitlements for all students studying across the Collegiate. It will be supplemented by the partners who will specify the individual requirements for studying at each institution. All students and their parents/guardians must sign this agreement to confirm they understand and accept the conditions.

Expectations

All students should:• Respect the individual rights of all students and members of staff, showing courtesy and

consideration while avoiding bad language and behaviour.• Respect the dress code of any partner institution in which they study. In general, this means

wearing smart casual clothing and avoiding any kind of headgear, football tops and clothing with offensive logos or pictures. The definition of “offensive” lies with the partner providing the subject.

• Ensure full attendance and submission of work at the appropriate standard. Where either falls below 90% in a subject, a review of progress will be carried out. Punctuality is also a requirement.

• Take greater responsibility for their own learning, using private study time effectively and limiting the amount of time committed to part-time work to no more than an average of 9 hours per week.

• Understand that no changes to their learning programmes can be made without the agreement of their Head of 6th or Faculty Manager.

• Avoid taking any holiday in term time or arranging appointments during lesson time.• Use the institutions’ facilities and equipment with care and respect; eat only in areas designated

for this purpose; and follow all Health and Safety regulations.• Abide by all of the relevant policies, for example on the Use of the Internet, Student Discipline,

Data Protection and Equal Opportunities.• Not smoke in any part of the institutions’ premises.• Carry a student identity card and show it to members of staff when asked to do so.• Not submit any assignments which contain work that is not their own without indicating

this. This is known as plagiarism and includes copying, without acknowledgement, any work downloaded from the internet. Any such action may result in disciplinary action by the institution or an awarding body.

• Ensure that mobile phones are switched off in all learning and studying areas; phones must not be taken into examination rooms.

• Ensure that examination regulations are read and abided by.• Continue to attend classes after the AS examinations, during which time A2 teaching will

commence.• Return any books or equipment loaned by a partner institution; failure to do so will incur

financial compensation being sought.• Understand that failure to comply with the above could lead to disciplinary procedures being

invoked.

Entitlements

The Stafford Collegiate is committed to provide:• Good quality teaching and support for personal and social development.• A personal tutor who will monitor your progress, provide guidance and support the achievement

of your goals.• Regular assessments, with constructive feedback, which will be returned within three working

weeks after the official handing-in date.• Written reports on your progress and one feedback evening for parents/guardians.• A representative, elected by the student body, who will raise issues with individual institutions or

with the Collegiate Student Forum.• Assurance that all health, safety and child protection regulations are met.
