TWO senior members of staff at Selby College have attended a national conference in London to advise other colleges on how to boost core subject results.
Deputy principal Janet Meenaghan and director of curriculum Steve Fowler were invited to the recent Association of Colleges’ (AoC) national meeting in a bid to help other colleges meet Department for Education requirements to improve English and maths attainment among young people.
It is the latest in a series of initiatives Selby College has undertaken to help other similar colleges rise to the high level of performance Selby College continues to achieve.
In a report presented at the conference, the pair pointed out that English and maths enrolments had consistently risen at the college year on year, and qualification achievements were consistently above national benchmarks.
The senior management team members demonstrated how successful results are achieved through four simple steps – very high expectations, support, encouragement and clear teaching.
Janet said: “It was great to meet teams from other colleges and share our strategies, initiatives and performance results.”
