Welcome to Futures College. As an inclusive learning community we are determined to realise our vision and achieve our goals which are:

To raise standards and expectations in an inclusive learning environment

To be proud of and celebrate the achievements of our students and staff

At Futures we continually reflect on our practise and evaluate our performance; taking collective responsibility for learning together.  The College is built on a founding vision to develop a world class learning environment in which all students can achieve in a range of academic, practical and technical subjects that have parity of esteem. We are committed to developing the whole individual child and to strengthening the emotional and social competences needed for today’s demanding lifestyles and work environments.

We aim for the highest quality teaching and learning every day and have some outstanding teaching facilities including a state of the art Upper College building opened in 2012,
outstanding practical and technical
learning areas, a new Learning Resource
Centre, Maths and Computer Science
areaunder construction and an excellent
College computer network with on-line
resources for students.

Students come first and their learning
is paramount – to learn, aspire and
achieve is what we want for all the
young people who join us at
Futures Community College.

All current Year 11 students are required to stay in education or training until August 2014. This change in the law applies to all 15 and 16 year olds currently in Year 11 who are resident in England. Education or training means:

• Full-time education in a School or College for a minimum of 3½ days a week;
• An apprenticeship; or
• Full-time work which includes at least one day a week in education.
  
  

This change needs to be carefully planned for and staff will be working with students to ensure each individual student has a plan for next year. Staff will be supported by John MacDonald from the connexions service.

I have now been in post as Headteacher for 100 days and reflecting back on that period I think we can be proud of what we have achieved.  Our Ofsted inspection on 22-23 November recognised that we were dealing with some of the issues that the College faced and had some good plans for improvement.

Since then visits by Her Majesty’s Inspectors (HMI) have given us more encouragement and have noted the good progress we are making to ensure that all students are attending school, are happy, safe and most importantly well taught and making progress.

Plans are well ahead now to further develop our Learning Resources in a variety of subject areas and we have also undergone a thorough staffing review with new posts and opportunities for staff to develop their skills and talents.  I have been very impressed by the expertise and dedication of the staff at Futures who frequently go the extra mile and are determined to provide the very best for all our young people.

Two parents’ forums took place this term and I will shortly announce dates for two more in the summer term.  These are great opportunities for parents to come and meet with me to discuss issues and make suggestions for improvements. Whilst we can’t do everything I am pleased to say that we have responded to the recent forums by making on-line booking available for events and by providing email contact details for key staff on the website. (Governors and Staff) I recognise that communication is vital for us all to understand exactly what is going on at any given time and I am always grateful for suggestions and constructive comments.

Ultimately parents, staff and students all want the same thing – to be successful and to make good progress.  I certainly want that for all our students and I am convinced that by working positively together we can achieve great things at Futures.

Stephen.
