I had a brilliant meeting last week with our new head boy and girl (Callum and Sophie). We talked about many of the issues surrounding sixth form provision and plans for the future.
One of the if issues facing any post 16 provider is ensuring the viability of all courses. The financial pressure is such that courses are faced with closure if numbers are too low.
One of the possible solutions we are considering is using digital technology to enable pupils to access learning. Our vision would be to issue iPads to all of our sixth form pupils. Sophie and Callum both agreed that this would have a major impact on the quality of their learning experiences and would fundamentally change the way lessons are delivered. It was also agreed that the use of digital technology would help pupils to organise themselves as well!
In terms of those courses that are not running could a combination of face-to-face teaching combined with digital learning outside the classroom be the answer? We think so and it something which we are going to focus on over the next few months.
