The bigger picture?
We get you to UNIVERSITY. University prepares you for work. You may need a second degree to work. 4-Year 1st Degree ‘doubles’ employment
opportunity. Post-Grad’ Russell Group earnings v other
universities now insignificant!
Curriculum 2000 AS coupled to A2. Resits/Mid-sessional modules. Drop subjects post AS. Grades inflation. Multiple GCSE’s etc. BBC>>>>AAB to access
good universities 2000>>>2014
A*, LNAT, BMAT usage. Number caps. ‘Tears at the top!”
UCAS applications down?Fees/Finance issues post-2010Raising of grade boundaries

Curriculum Review 2014-2020Impact on KEFW/students…..
Decoupling AS. 2015 removal of

Linear courses to terminal exams.
Grades deflation? Russell/1994 groups
can’t fill courses.

meeting offers. Less caution in choice
planning. Candidate negotiations. Increased ‘clearing’
activity.
Great News for the Sixth Form Increasing numbers of applicants from BTEC/NVQ
backgrounds will open up places for KEFW Sixth Formers above the core-groups.
109 Universities cleared 34,000 last August, and many from Russell Group!
Universities will use offers as targets when seeking undergraduates who can demonstrate continuing academic progress from Yr.11……….
