Welcome to the section of the website for all those with an interest in 14 - 19 learning.
Here you will find useful information and resources to support teaching and learning in this area.
Introduction to 14 - 19
What young people learn during this period of
their lives has a wide-ranging impact on their future development.
It is a phase of education which is vitally important for student
choice and progression and our aim, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, is to help
ensure that young people have an experience of learning which stimulates,
motivates and stretches them so that they are encouraged to aim
high and achieve their full potential.
We believe that all young people are entitled to expect excellent
provision that responds to their needs, during these years and beyond.
- Our strategic plans and relationships with
our partners are broadening young people's
options, and giving them the skills and confidence to continue
learning, in school, college or the workplace
- Links with local and regional economic development plans and local employers enable our young learners to develop essential practical skills for life and work and put them ultimately in a position to contribute to the local or national economy
- Curriculum developments building on the foundation of the
Key Stage 3 Strategy promote competence in communication, numeracy,
analysis and review, problem-solving, thinking, study skills and
working with others
- Innovative developments in ICT infrastructure are improving
young people's access to learning opportunities, as well as developing
their ICT and independent learning skills
Our vision for 14 - 19 development is grounded in the DfES response
to the Green Paper.
