Sheaf Parent/Carer Survey Autumn Term 2023/24

Hi, and thank you for taking the time to complete this short survey.  Your feedback is collected twice a year, in November and June.  The comments you make are extremely important to us and information we collect will help us to continue to improve our service.

Ofsted Report May 2023

Provision for learners with high needs - Outstanding 

"Learners with high needs follow highly effective personalised programmes. They receive helpful support that enables them to progress to supported internships, employment or further study.  

Learners receive the correct level of personal and medical care as outlined in their EHC plan. They access a range of support services and benefits from onsite therapists who provide support for individual needs around mental health and well-being. Learners with high needs develop detailed knowledge across the curriculum and, as a result, make sustained progress from their identified started points."

Privacy Notice (How we use your personal information)

This privacy notice is issued by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) on behalf of the Secretary of State for the Department of Education (DfE) to inform learners about the Individualised Learner Record (ILR) and how their personal information is used in the ILR. Your personal information is used by the DfE to exercise our functions under article 6(1)(e) of the UK GDPR and to meet our statutory responsibilities, including under the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009. 

The ILR collects data about learners and learning undertaken. Publicly funded colleges, training organisations, local authorities, and employers (FE providers) must collect and return the data to the ESFA each year under the terms of a funding agreement, contract or grant agreement. It helps ensure that public money distributed through the ESFA is being spent in line with government targets. It is also used for education, training, employment, and wellbeing purposes, including research. We retain ILR learner data for 3 years for operational purposes and 66 years for research purposes. For more information about the ILR and the data collected, please see the ILR specification at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/individualised-learner-record-ilr. 

ILR data is shared with third parties where it complies with DfE data sharing procedures and where the law allows it. The DfE and the English European Social Fund (ESF) Managing Authority (or agents acting on their behalf) may contact learners to carry out research and evaluation to inform the effectiveness of training. 

For more information about how your personal data is used and your individual rights, please see the DfE Personal Information Charter (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education/about/personal-information-charter) and the ESFA Privacy Notice (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/esfa-privacy-notice).
