One by One Project. This is a pilot project in partnership with Fife Council which will run from March 2016, aimed at a group of 12 third year pupils from four High Schools who are at risk of not entering a positive destination. According to the figures released by SDS in 2014 relating to the destinations of school leavers, 92.4% of young people entered a positive destination in 2013/14 compared to a national average of 92.3%. This was a significant improvement on the equivalent figures for 2012/13 of 89.7% for Fife. While the improvement in figures, and particularly that Fife sits marginally above the national average, is welcome, it is the case that 447 or approximately one in eight young people did not enter a positive destination. The aim is to break the disengaged cycle for this group of 12 pupils by introducing an alternative engagement Pathway. Summary of Outcome 3 – Access for People from the Widest Range of Backgrounds Fife College Outcome 2: Deliver a high quality relevant curriculum that meets the needs of the region, and provides progression opportunities to more advanced study and appropriate exit points to employment. Fife College Outcome 4: Provide engaging learning opportunities for those within our most deprived communities to improve their life chances. Fife College Outcome 5: Ensure there are appropriate opportunities for young people to make the transition from School to College learning. Outputs: • Continue to progress the equality outcomes taking forward the recommendations from the Equality Mainstreaming Report. • Ensure that all curriculum provides a clear articulation or progression route to a sustained destination. • Increase the proportion of credits delivered to learners from the 10% most deprived (SIMD) postcode areas by 3%. • Decrease the proportion of learners from secondary school who are heading for a negative destination by 3% through a bespoke intervention model developed in conjunction with CPP partners. • Implement targeted curriculum that strives to address gender balance where there are identifiable trends in gender segregation. • Embed a Fife College Learning and Teaching Strategy that supports the development of engaging and high quality learning experiences.
