Early years provision https://www.gov.uk/free-early-education Free childcare and education for 2 to 4-year-olds All 3 to 4-year-olds in England can get 570 hours of free early education or childcare per year. This is usually taken as 15 hours each week for 38 weeks of the year. Some 2-year-olds are also eligible. You can start claiming free childcare after your child turns 3. The date you can claim will depend on when their birthday is.

The free early education and childcare can be at: all types of nurseries and nursery classes playgroups and pre-school childminders Sure Start Children’s Centres You can’t continue to claim free childcare once your child starts reception class in a state school.

2-year-olds Some 2-year-olds in England can get free early education and childcare.

Types of school All children in England between the ages of 5 and 16 are entitled to a free place at a state school. Most state schools have to follow the national curriculum. The most common ones are: community schools, controlled by the local council and not influenced by business or religious groups foundation schools, with more freedom to change the way they do things than community schools academies, run by a governing body, independent from the local council - they can follow a different curriculum grammar schools, run by the council, a foundation body or a trust - they select all or most of their pupils based on academic ability and there is often an exam to get in

Special schools Special schools with pupils aged 11 and older can specialise in 1 of the 4 areas of special educational needs: communication and interaction cognition and learning social, emotional and mental health sensory and physical needs Schools can further specialise within these categories to reflect the special needs they help with, eg Autistic spectrum disorders, visual impairment or speech, language and communication needs (SLCN).

Faith schools Faith schools can be different kinds of schools, eg voluntary aided schools, free schools, academies etc, but are associated with a particular religion. Faith schools are mostly run like other state schools. They have to follow the national curriculum except for religious studies, where they are free to only teach about their own religion. The admissions criteria and staffing policies may be different too, although anyone can apply for a place.

Free schools Free schools are funded by the government but aren’t run by the local council. They have more control over how they do things. They’re ‘all-ability’ schools, so can’t use academic selection processes like a grammar school. Free schools can: set their own pay and conditions for staff change the length of school terms and the school day They don’t have to follow the national curriculum. Who can set up free schools? Free schools are run on a not-for-profit basis and can be set up by groups like: charities universities independent schools community and faith groups teachers parents businesses

Types of free school University technical colleges University technical colleges specialise in subjects like engineering and construction - and teach these subjects along with business skills and using IT. Pupils study academic subjects as well as practical subjects leading to technical qualifications. The curriculum is designed by the university and employers, who also provide work experience for students. University technical colleges are sponsored by: universities employers further education colleges Studio schools Studio schools are small schools - usually with around 300 pupils - delivering mainstream qualifications through project-based learning. This means working in realistic situations as well as learning academic subjects. Students work with local employers and a personal coach, and follow a curriculum designed to give them the skills and qualifications they need in work, or to take up further education.

Academies Academies are publicly funded independent schools. Academies don’t have to follow the national curriculum and can set their own term times. They still have to follow the same rules on admissions, special educational needs and exclusions as other state schools. Academies get money direct from the government, not the local council. They’re run by an academy trust which employs the staff. Some academies have sponsors such as businesses, universities, other schools, faith groups or voluntary groups. Sponsors are responsible for improving the performance of their schools.

City technology colleges State boarding schools Private schools

Post 16 options It pays to keep learning After Year 11, they have a lot more choice about what young people want to do. Whichever route they choose, it pays to keep learning. More and more, employers are looking for people with higher level skills and qualifications. Although qualifications cannot guarantee people a job, people with the right skills and qualifications have a better chance of finding a job with good prospects and more money. They may also have more job security.

Staying in full-time education They’ll find a much wider range of subjects and qualifications than they’ve been able to choose from up until now. As well as A levels, young people can choose from a growing range of work- related qualifications. Selected schools and colleges are also offering the Diploma qualification for 14 to 19-year-olds. Depending on what they want to study, they could decide to stay on at school, or go to a sixth form college, specialist college or further education college. If they have a disability or learning difficulty, it’s also worth checking how their school or college could provide extra help to ensure that they’re are assessed fairly.

Learning at work If young people want to start work, it’s important to pick a job that offers them planned training leading to a nationally recognised qualification. There are lots of ways to improve their skills and get qualifications, from Apprenticeships to the ‘Entry to Employment’ scheme. As an alternative, they may be entitled to ‘Time off for Study or Training’.

Example 2 Valuing its Christian foundation and conscious of its history, culture and the charitable intentions of its founder, ..... prepares boys with diverse backgrounds and abilities for a life of learning, leadership, service and personal fulfilment.

Example 4 At ...... all children are encouraged to achieve success and develop a life-long love of learning through a relevant, broad, balanced, stimulating and memorable curriculum. We will provide a happy, healthy and secure environment that develops good communication and nurtures confidence, social skills and mutual respect. We will promote an understanding of local and global issues enabling us all to make a positive contribution to society.

Example 5 At ..... we aim to enable each pupil to : • communicate and interact effectively with others and the world around them. • become independent learners. • value themselves and their own achievements and accept and show tolerance of others. • enjoy being part of the school community. • participate in and contribute to the wider social community. • lead a safe, happy and fulfilling lifestyle
