Planning towards the 2013 entitlement
Gateway 4 is a key milestone in local authority and consortia planning for the delivery of all 17 Diploma lines in their area. We have published some key principles for Gateway 4, to help local authorities (LAs) and consortia plan for the 2013 entitlement.
LAs and 14-19 Partnerships have a crucial role in planning how to deliver the 2013 entitlement in their areas. An important feature of Gateway 4 will be to ask LAs to submit a strategic plan showing how access to all Diploma lines will be made available.
Where LAs and consortia achieved Category 3 in Gateway 3 we want to recognise where rapid progress has been made since then and, where appropriate, enable those who are ready to start delivery in 2010.
Gateway 3 results and consortium support
The results of Gateway 3 are now available from this site.
We are also providing a range of tailored support to consortia over the coming months to help with their preparations. Each consortium will be assigned a Consortium Adviser who will discuss implementation planning and how the consortium can best be supported. www.diploma-support.org provides members of consortia with a platform that will support their professional development in the context of the Diploma. The site helps build and manage a 'journey' as consortia prepare for Diploma delivery.
14-19 briefing sessions for schools and colleges
To help you understand the 14-19 reforms, DCSF has produced a complete toolkit that includes an overview of the reforms, backed up by 14-19 briefing sessions, where a specialist team can visit your school or college to explain the refoms face to face.
