COMMENTS/CONDITIONS
NATURE OF CHANGE
New programme title
Secondary (ITE) and Masters
Education
Proposal includes the removal of the Primary PGCE pathway from
Postgraduate Teacher Education to the new programme area (to
be called Primary (ITE) and FE (ITE))
Change proposed to support OfSTEDs organisation of inspection
and annual monitoring processes, to reflect the removal of PGCE
Primary and identify remaining pathways, and keep the Secondary
provision separate and distinct for OfSTED purposes
No transitional arrangements needed as existing pathways within
the programme areas remain unaffected
With immediate effect

New programme title
Primary (ITE) and FE (ITE)
Proposal includes moving the Primary PGCE pathway from
Postgraduate Teacher Education to the new programme area (to
be called ‘Primary (ITE) and FE (ITE)’)
Change proposed to support OfSTEDs organisation of inspection
and annual monitoring processes, the inclusion of the PGCE
Primary pathway will create a cluster of ‘Primary’ pathways to fulfil
OfSTEDs reporting requirements and re-alignment of the
programme will allow greater efficiency in the Faculty’s response
to national initiatives at an operational level
No transitional arrangements needed as existing pathways within
the programme areas remain unaffected
With immediate effect

Delivery of the pathway (known as the generic DTLLS) at an
additional site – Anglia Ruskin University Chelmsford campus


Currently run through regional collaborative partners
The proposed change will strengthen Core Anglia student
numbers on the modules offered and allow us to better support
students when practical or contractual problems arise with partner
colleges
There is an immediate issue with students at South Essex College
(formerly Thurrock and Basildon college) and potentially
Chelmsford College
The intention always was to run the generic DTLLS at ARU
Chelmsford once a sufficient staffing base permitted this
No transitional arrangements needed
With effect from January 2011

With the current and planned curriculum and research
developments associated with the PMI the Faculty Management
Team believe that there needs to be an identified departmental
focus for these actions
This change would assist both the Faculty and the PMI in its
branding and marketing activities
Students not affected as no current pathways are affected
