GCSE grades GCSE GRADES UPDATE

In 2017 the grading system for GCSE English and maths changed

significantly. Rather than being graded A* to G, a numerical system

is now used. The grades now run from 1 to 9, with 9 being the

highest. A grade 4 is now a ‘standard pass’, equivalent to a grade

C, with a grade 5 being a ‘strong pass’.

The table opposite explains these changes.

GCSE English and mathsAccording to the Department for Education, gaining a grade 4 or

higher in English and maths could potentially add £2,000 to your

salary every year. If you have not yet gained a grade 4 in GCSE

English and maths then you will carry on studying these subjects as

part of your Study Programme at college. Our English and maths

teams are committed to helping you succeed, and we offer

a different and more personalised experience than school.

Our GCSE courses run from September until June, giving you the

chance to gain your qualification in just one academic year.

Not quite ready for GCSE yet? Don’t worry, we have a range

of ‘stepping stone’ qualifications in English and maths meaning

that you can improve your skills at your own pace.

When you join us, we will assess your current levels of

English and maths, and use your existing qualifications to

make sure that you are on the right course for you.

After completing the IT diploma with the College Ben decided he wasn’t quite ready for university and took a job working for a national company dealing with television services. After five years Ben felt the time was right for the next step and applied for the BSc (Hons) Computing course at the University of Plymouth. Fast forward four years and he is now part of a graduate scheme at Boeing working as a software developer.

“I wasn’t sure what career I wanted, but I remember being told to follow my passion, so that’s exactly what I did. IT is such a vast area of study that you’ll never become an expert in everything, but my college course was a great introduction to all IT disciplines. I’m now working at Boeing, primarily as a software developer. I still can’t quite believe it. My graduate scheme at Boeing offers rotations between four different departments. Currently I’m working within Application Support, helping to introduce some of the new technologies I’ve learned over the last few years.”

Ben started his chef training at Fifteen Cornwall as an apprentice and studied a Level 2 qualification.

“The course covered all areas needed to equip me with the essential knowledge to enter a professional kitchen. During my course my lecturer nominated me for a City & Guilds achievement award and I won it out of everyone in the country! The presentation was at Buckingham Palace by Princess Anne. After studying I travelled the world with the skills I had learned. I settled back in Cornwall and have worked my way up to executive chef, overseeing three kitchens, where I write menus, train staff, work out the costings and undertake quality control of all sites. If you are thinking about a career in the catering industry do it! You won’t look back.”

Entry requirements: Functional Skills as part of the programme of work, you will also need an employer willing to take you on as an apprentice. Where: Camborne, St Austell and Saltash

A commis chef is the most common starting position in many kitchens and in principle the most junior culinary role. A commis chef prepares food and carries out basic cooking tasks under the supervision of a more senior chef. The primary objective of the commis chef is to learn and understand how to carry out the basic functions in every section of the kitchen. Therefore having the opportunity to experience, consider and value each section with a view to choosing an area where they feel most inspired.

The learning journey of any chef will vary considerably from one individual to the next; however it is necessary to understand and have experience in the basics that this role provides in order to progress to any future senior chef role. During this apprenticeship you will learn to identify the principles of basic food preparation and cooking, commonly used knives and kitchen equipment, traditional cuts of meat and much, much more.

YOUR ROUTE TO WORKING WITH CHILDREN…We offer two options for you to start your career in childcare and education depending on your GCSE results. Our Level 3 course offers you the choice of university study or employment on successful completion of your course. Our Level 2 course is ideal if you would like more time to develop your skills before progressing on to further study. Not ready for Level 2 study? See page 171.

Entry requirements: Four GCSEs at grade 3 including English language and maths. Where: Camborne and Saltash

Learn a wide range of topics including child development, health and safety, safeguarding, and children’s learning activities and play. You will also attend a work placement two days a week using your new skills in practice and supporting children with their play and learning.

Entry requirements: Four GCSEs at grade 4 including English language and maths.Where: Camborne and Saltash

From early years teaching in nurseries to primary school education, we can help you focus your career path so you can decide what the best employment route is for you. Working with pre-school children (early years) is a delight, as learning techniques tend to focus around play, but it is also an extremely important stage of their lives, as what they learn now can shape their personality, attitudes and behaviour later in life. Primary school teaching becomes much more formal and you will teach a broad range of subjects, write lesson plans and tests, all designed to help the children grow academically.

An integral part of this course is the 750 hours of work placements that you will carry out in nurseries and primary schools. This real-life work experience is vital when applying for jobs, as employers want to know that you have experience of working in real-life educational establishments and not just theoretical study. Alongside your placements you will also study a range of theoretical and practical units including children’s learning activities, safeguarding, professional practice, and promoting children’s development.

Our facilities for childcare education are amazing. We have the only Edu-care centre of its kind in Cornwall, which includes a garden, indoor and outdoor play zones, kitchen and classrooms.

MANAGER & CO-OWNERINKFISH FALMOUTH

CARLA FAIRBURN

Carla started her hairdressing apprenticeship 15 years ago at Inkfish Truro and is now the co-owner of Inkfish Falmouth.

“Starting as an apprentice to becoming co-owner has been a great journey; it’s something I’ve always dreamt of. Being in a good salon working with a good team, with great training and being passionate about the job, I’ve grown to love it. We have apprentices in the salon now and that’s important to us and them because they gain real life experience with the customers. Watching the stylists do their jobs really helps them out, it’s faster learning and also they can earn while they learn, which is great for them being young. Getting a wage and learning at the same time, what’s not to like?”

Chris grew up in Cornwall and always had a love for the sea, trying out various watersports in his youth, with sailing being the biggest attraction. After school he studied construction at Cornwall College then served in the Royal Air Force and the British Army for 24 years. On returning to Cornwall he studied at Falmouth Marine School, while establishing his own small wooden boat building company and has now joined the teaching team.

“Having taught for many years in the military, I had always enjoyed teaching people new skills and was excited to be involved with educating and developing the next generation of boatbuilders, for future years to come.”

Adam tried to find work in the boatbuilding industry as soon as he left school, but found it difficult as he had no experience at all. The boatbuilding course at Falmouth Marine School soon changed all of that and gave Adam the skills he needed to progress in the industry.

“I love the practical nature of the course and the opportunity to work on some fantastic projects. My favourite was the restoration of a 40-year-old Cornish rowing association skiff. I now have the skills I need to enter the boatbuilding industry and have secured a job as an apprentice with Pendennis.”

Boatbuilding apprentices built a replica of a Grand Banks Dory and asked if they could give it away in order to raise money for the charity Children’s Hospice South West. Boatbuilding apprentice Stacey Lozynski commented: “I think it is fantastic that we are able to raise money for the Children’s Hospice South West, I have two young boys and know how much they need and want, but just to put a smile on someone’s face is great. “I feel like I have learnt a lot from the whole process”, continued Stacey. “I have never seen a boat built from scratch, so to be involved in building one was a fantastic experience. Being able to then see that being used for such a good cause is the icing on the cake.”

Supporting youStudent Services Our Student Services teams are here to help so you can be sure of getting the information and advice you need.

You can contact Student Services by calling 0330 123 2523 and ask to speak to the Support Services Team on the campus where you want to study, or by emailing [email protected].

Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) ProvisionWe are committed to supporting every learner, to ensure they are equipped with the tools and resilience required to successfully achieve their learning goals and aspirations. Please see our website for our SEND Provision Statement which includes further information and details should you wish to talk to someone in person www.cornwall.ac.uk/send-statement.

Whether you need advice, support, facilities or equipment we will do our best to provide it for you. We want to make sure that you have no problems during your study here at college and are easily able to join in with student life.

When you apply to study with us we will ask you to disclose any additional learning needs you may need help with and put appropriate support in place for the start of your studies. All learners are also able to request various assessments throughout their studies, should they feel they may need support in any of these areas.

SafeguardingWe set out to provide a safe and supportive learning and working environment for all our students, staff and visitors.

The Cornwall College Group has a duty to safeguard all learners, staff and visitors. We also have a duty to prevent extremism and radicalisation. Prevent is about safeguarding our students to keep them both safe and within the law.

The Safeguarding and Prevent policies, together with associated policies, are available through the college website or on request. The Cornwall College Group adopts the following principles with regard to Safeguarding and will ensure that:• the safety and wellbeing of children, young

people and adults are paramount in all areas of its operations, including safeguarding our staff/students and raising their awareness to safeguard themselves and others

• all children and adults, regardless of age, culture, disability, gender, language, racial origin, religious belief and/or sexual identity can exercise their right to protection from harm or abuse when engaged in college-related activity or settings and college support where they may disclose concerns about their broader lives in the community or at home

• all suspicions and allegations of abuse will be taken seriously and responded to swiftly and appropriately, with due regard to appropriate levels of privacy and the dignity of those concerned

• all staff will be made aware of key safeguarding principles/practice through appropriate training and are required to report any disclosures, concerns or allegations in line with our procedures

• in accordance with Part 3 of Keeping Children Safe in Education, best practice is used in safer recruitment when recruiting staff/volunteers to ensure their suitability to work with children and adults who may be vulnerable and when dealing with others who visit/use our sites

• we work in a proactive partnership with other key statutory and voluntary sector organisations to share information and good practice to improve safeguarding within our communities

• we adhere to any statutory responsibilities placed upon us.

CareersOur team of qualified and experienced Careers Advisers are available all year round to support you when help is needed with career choices, progression to university and other training, education or employment opportunities. We also offer a comprehensive service to adults who wish to find out about returning to study. We have been awarded the Matrix Quality Standard for our information advice and guidance services so you can be sure you will get the support you need.

Career guidance appointments can be arranged by contacting student services on your campus or by emailing [email protected].

Learning Advice TeamWhile at college the Learning Advice Team will provide you with a consistent source of information, advice and support. They will oversee your experience and progress across the whole of your study programme acting as a vital independent link between your specialist programme tutors, English and maths tutors, employability and work experience co-ordinator and, where appropriate, your parents/guardians. The Learning Advice Team work closely with your personal tutor to ensure you enjoy a brilliant learning experience. The team will also support you with a variety of pastoral, health and welfare issues and help signpost you to other sources of support if required. Depending on your campus, the Learning Advice Team may consist of a senior learning adviser, a learning adviser and/or personal learning advisers.

Learner Enrichment Officer (LEO)If you have a question and are not sure who to ask, or just want to chat, speak to the LEO on your campus. They can help you with everything from getting involved with Cornwall College Students’ Union (CCSU) activities to information and advice on confidential issues such as sexual health including C-Card, drink and drugs, bullying and personal safety. They can also help you with enrichment and engagement by organising trips, activities and fun days for your group or campus, which is all great for your CV.

Equality and diversityThe Cornwall College Group is committed to equal opportunities for all and recognises that valuing and embracing diversity is the key to providing high quality teaching and learning. We take pride in serving the local communities of Cornwall and are fully committed to promoting equality of opportunity, access, dignity and fairness.

Funding support This funding is to help you meet extra costs e.g. transport and childcare, is administered by the College and is means-tested.

Guaranteed Student BursaryIf you are under 19 and living in care, a care leaver, receiving Income Support in your own right, a disabled young person in receipt of both the Employment Support Student Allowance and Disability Living Allowance or Personal Independence Payment (PIP), you will be entitled to a Guaranteed Student Bursary of up to £1,200. You will need to apply through the FE Bursary Fund for this.

TransportIf you live more than three miles from college you may be eligible for support for your travel costs. If you are under 19 at the beginning of the academic year in September and are attending a full-time course at the local designated institution (usually the provider of your course nearest your home) you will qualify for subsidised travel.

Duchy College Stoke Climsland and Bicton College campuses provide a transport network running across the Cornwall and Devon border.

The Cornwall College Group provides financial support towards a bus pass for students aged 16 to 18 who qualify for the funding support. Students will be expected to use a college bus where possible. A contribution towards travel costs can also be made to students aged 19 or over at the start of their course. These awards are means-tested and applied for through the scheme. Transport is subject to change by local government.

Free college mealsIf you are aged 16 to 18 and received free school meals, or if your circumstances have recently changed and you are now in receipt of certain benefits, you may qualify for free college meals. Contact Student Services for further details.

Advanced Learning LoansIf you are thinking about continuing your education, are over 19 years of age and want to study a Level 3 qualification or above, there are government-based loans available, depending on your chosen course. There is also a means-tested, cash-limited bursary to help you meet transport costs and childcare costs.

Care to Learn (for learners aged up to 20 years)Care to Learn is a national scheme for childcare funding if you are a parent under 20 years of age. This childcare support will not affect your own family’s benefits or allowances. If you are under 20 years of age

this support is not means-tested and you do not have to be in receipt of benefits or have a low income in order to have your childcare paid for. Please contact any of our Student Services teams for more details.

Childcare (for learners aged 20+ years)We are keen to help you with the cost of your childcare whilst studying. The childcare subsidy you receive will depend upon the details submitted by you on your funding form and childcare support application form. If you are eligible for support this will normally be paid direct to your registered childcare provider. Day nurseries run by Flying Start operate at Cornwall College Camborne, Duchy College Stoke Climsland and Cornwall College Saltash – www.flyingstart.uk.com.

AccommodationIf you do not live within reasonable travelling distance of the College you may wish to consider seeking accommodation nearby. For students at Bicton College and Duchy College Stoke Climsland there are full-board residential places available. Residential Bursaries are available for eligible students. If you would like more information about accommodation when studying at other campuses please contact our accommodation officer on 0330 123 2523.

Benefits relating to supportThere are provisions under the Jobseeker’s regulations, which allow you to study whilst seeking employment without losing your benefits. If you are claiming out of work benefits you should discuss your proposed attendance at college with your employment advisor, before enrolling on a course. It may be possible for you to return to study if you receive other benefits (e.g. Income Support, Housing Benefit etc.), but you must check with the relevant benefit office before enrolling on the course of your choice. Your benefits may be affected by returning to study, so check this out first.
