A year on we can be comfortable in that the collaborative and alternative provision included in this directory meets a minimum standard of provision and providers are working with us to achieve excellence. The framework has outlined that providers should ensure that all learners are safe and secure and that provision for Lewisham young people is effective, efficient and value for money Many people contributed to this Quality Assurance process. I would like to take this opportunity to say a BIG thank you to everyone involved for the support and commitment that have made this directory a reality. Ruth Griffiths Lewisham 14-19 Strategic Lead 3 Introduction The providers in this directory have completed the Lewisham self assessment framework and been visited by members of the Lewisham Alternative and Collaborative Quality Assurance Team. Providers will now be required to use the Lewisham Learner Tracking System (CLM) as part of the conditions of the Quality Assurance Framework and inclusion in this directory. Schools and other agencies who take up the services of these providers are responsible for ensuring that programmes meet the needs of individual learners. Schools and other agencies can use the Learner Tracking System (CLM) to monitor attendance, punctuality and progress (attainment). Quality Monitoring and Evaluation Framework Purpose The framework is intended as a tool for monitoring consistency and quality in:: Leadership and Management Delivery of Alternative Provision (Year 10 – 11 learners) The framework enables the Lewisham 14-19 Partnership to share effective practice and improve overall provision and learners’ experiences and outcomes. The framework provides criteria against which the various aspects of the programme can be assessed. Framework The Framework covers seven themes: 1. Achievement and standards 2. Teaching and learning 3. Admissions, guidance and support 4. Learner entitlement 5. Leadership and management 6. Professional development 7. Employer engagement The criteria have been identified as key quality indicators for the various aspects and stages of alternative programmes. 4 The Quality Assurance Process The Quality Assurance Team comprised a representative mix of colleagues from the Lewisham 14-19 Partnership: Lewisham College Lewisham Schools Abbey Manor College Lewisham Council 14-19 Team Access and Inclusion Standards and Achievement Lewisham Education Business Partnership Providers completed a Self Assessment and submitted it to the Quality Assurance Team. Two members from the Lewisham Alternative and Collaborative Quality Assurance Team then visited the providers. During the visit The Self Assessment formed the basis of the visit but the Team also included: Discussion around assessment data Joint visits to learning environments Discussion with teaching staff / tutors Sampling learners’ work Ensuring that safeguarding arrangements (including CRB checks for all staff) were in place At the end of the visit, views based on the evidence seen during the visit, were discussed with the provider. Discussions with the provider concluded and provisional strengths, areas for development and a grade were agreed collaboratively in preparation for completion of the Quality Improvement Plan. 5 After the visit Final notes of the visit were agreed jointly by the providers and visiting Lewisham Alternative and Collaborative Quality Assurance Team members and reported to the full Quality Assurance Group. The Quality Assurance Team will visit Providers on an annual cycle to update the Quality Improvement Plan. The Quality Assurance Framework has a three year cycle. Providers that have been successful in the Quality Assurance process are listed in this directory. 6 List of providers Abbey Manor College Type of provision Abbey Manor College provides educational programmes for 11-16 year olds who do not conform to conventional education.
