Decant workshop 3.9.13
- 1. Island School Redevelopment Decant Planning Workshop Tuesday 3rd September 2013
- 2. Overall aims of this evening .... • To explore the challenges of the decant process; • To enlist the views of parents and students in doing this; • To record what we think are the pros and cons of several models for the temporary situation. Aims
- 3. ● There is very little chance, if any, of finding one decant premises for the whole school; ● It is clear that the most likely endgame is that we decant into two premises. Either two standard secondary schools or one secondary and one primary; ● Significant commitment from ESFC to do what it takes to secure continuity of excellence in teaching and learning; ● Partial decant not an option; ● Decant period estimated to be from January or July 2017 until August 2021 Some context
- 4. Main Criteria Headings ● Curriculum – What are the implications for the curriculum? How will each model promote / inhibit our curriculum aims? ● Resourcing – How will each model optimise or stretch deployment of resources (in the widest sense)? ● Guidance – what are the issues and implications for guidance and progression in each model? ● Ethos / School Identity – opportunities for growth and development / obstacles to the same for each model? Particularly relevant to the House System ● Stakeholder interests - what are the needs and wants of different stakeholder groups – particularly parents? ● Location and Travel - are there any issues to do with location, access, travel logistics that we need to be aware of? ● Student movement between schools over time What are the issues?
