Summer 2020 Results

We hope you’re ready to have an amazing summer. After the unprecedented year we’ve been having, we feel it’s important for you to take some time and relax. Most teaching staff are now enjoying some well-earned time off over the summer and will return to the college from the 19th August.

If you’re expecting exam or final assessment results this summer, we wanted to make sure you know the date on which you can expect your results.

There are two main results days:

  • Thursday 13th August is the results day for all Level 3 courses, including A/AS Levels, BTECs and other vocational qualifications.
  • Thursday 20th August is the results day for GCSE courses and any other qualifications which are Entry Level, Level 1 or Level 2.

To make sure you get your results as swiftly as possible, we have decided to release them online on these dates. Don’t worry – we will still be here to support anyone that needs to come in or have an online chat about their options.  

Results will be available from 8:30am for A Level and A/S Level Courses and at 11am for all other courses. In order to access your results, you’ll have to log on to your My eILP through the College Student Hub. We would highly recommend that you check your password before results day to ensure you have access.

We would also recommend that you check your contact details, within your My eILP, including your phone number, as we may need to contact you via text. Remember, when you receive your results, our specialist teams are there to support you with your next steps. We’ll contact you with more support options closer to results days.

Awarding Grades

All exams due to take place in summer 2020 have been cancelled by the government as part of the national effort to reduce the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19). 

However, qualifications and grades will still be awarded this year. Ofqual have now released their guidance on their system to award learners the fairest grade possible in this unprecedented situation.  

For this summer’s awards, schools and colleges are being asked to provide centre assessment grades for their students. These should be fair, objective and carefully considered judgements of the grades schools and colleges believe their students would have been most likely to achieve if they had sat their exams, and will take into account the full range of available evidence. 

The government have also promised an extra exam window in the 2020/21 academic year, so that anyone wishing to take the exams will be given an opportunity to do so as soon as it is safe. 

We want to assure you that Exeter College will make sure our students are treated fairly by this process. The mention of practice examinations has led to some concern from our learners that they will be automatically awarded their mock grade. This is not the case. Ofqual have assured us that teachers will be have the opportunity to apply their professional judgement using not just previous performance, but, crucially, their knowledge of the individual and how students usually progress in their subject over time. 

We will be asked therefore for a judgement on how a learner would have performed if they had the opportunity to complete the year and continue to improve, not for a snapshot of where they had reached when the disruption began.

The commitment from Ofqual is that they will generate a grade profile that is indistinguishable from those provided in other years. 

We hope that you understand that in order for us to comply with the need for this system to be robust as well as fair, individual teachers cannot be in dialogue with students and parents about this. The best thing that our learners can do at the moment is to continue to engage with their studies through the online distance learning support our teachers are providing. In this manner we hope to best serve them for their skills for their future ambitions.

Looking after your health and wellbeing at home

Exeter College is closed due to the Coronavirus outbreak, but the exceptional learning continues for our students.  

In this blog, Jake Cole, our Emotional Health and Wellbeing Advisor, has sourced some top tips on how to look after yourself during a challenging period.  Please also see advice from Young Minds, the NHS, and Mind. 

Connect

This is a huge one – everyone needs to socialise! Even if it’s not possible to pop to your friend’s house, make sure you continue to connect with them online.  

Make plans to video chat with people or groups you’d typically see in person. You can also arrange phone calls, texts or online messages.  

If you’re worried that you might run out of stuff to talk about, make a plan with someone to watch a show or read a book separately so that you can discuss it when you contact each other. 

You can also get yourself a study buddy. Team up with a friend from College to discuss your work and swap revision notes. Not only will this help you connect with others, but it will also make learning from home a lot more enjoyable.  

Routine

With so much uncertainty, sticking to your routine can really help you to maintain a sense of normality. It can also help to reduce anxiety and troubling thoughts.

You might want to add extra activities into your day that make you feel calm but try to keep to your daily schedule as much as possible.  

Figure out what you need to be working on. Write it down with timings on to paper or into an app like Outlook Calendar.  

Choose how long your work segments are. I like to work in 90-minute segments but do what works for you. 

Keep Active

Almost any form of exercise will stimulate the release of feel-good chemicals in the brain and will help you to focus your mind. For this reason, try and build physical activity into your daily routine. 

Most of us don’t have exercise equipment like treadmills where we live, but there are still activities you can do. Try cleaning your home, dancing to music, or following along to an online exercise class. 

Regular physical activity can also improve symptoms of anxiety, depression and help you sleep better.

Be aware of your health 

Eating regular meals and staying hydrated will help. You should also take breaks throughout the day to talk to someone or do something you enjoy.  

Be aware of your screen time too. It’s good to have a few hours a day where you are not looking at a screen – perhaps try calling a friend, reading a book or doing some housework.  

Find things that help you feel calm 

Like at any other time, it’s important that you are not only looking after your physical health but your mental health too.  

Acknowledge how you’re feeling. We know that things might continue to feel overwhelming or scary, so it’s good for you to talk about this where possible.  

Think about some activities that can help when you are feeling overwhelmed like breathing techniques, writing down how you feel, playing music, or talking to a friend. Try not to overexpose yourself to the news.  

To draw away from any stress you’re experiencing, write down three positive things at the end of each day. You can also look for opportunities to help others – doing good feels good.  

Extra Resources  

  • There is lots of additional advice on the NHS website. 
  • Check out our WHAM page on the portal for further health and wellbeing information.  
  • Headspace (the mindfulness app) is offering free resources to help people during this time. 
  • The charity YoungMinds offers mental health help and support.  

Remember that these new approaches can be difficult at first. Keep going, you will find a way to make them work if you stick with them.  

Ultimately, it’s down to finding out what works best for you. If you have any additional tips that you think could help others during their studies, share them using the hashtag #ExeCollTogether.

Setting Up Your Work and Learning Space

Working from home is probably a new concept for a lot of us but making sure you’ve set up your space properly can have a huge impact on your productivity and wellbeing.

To make sure you create a learning environment that inspires and motivates you, we’ve come up with some top tips on how to set up your workspace while you’re studying from home. 

Got your own tip for setting up your home learning area? Use #ExeCollTogether on social media and we’ll share the best ones!  

Study Space  

First things first, think about where you’re setting up. Choosing the right space can make all the difference to boost your productivity. 

Trying to keep your work time and your free time separate can be a challenge when studying at home. If you’ve got the room, dedicate a specific area to be your new study space. Try and make sure it’s not in a busy place; you don’t need your family members buzzing around you all day while you’re trying to focus. 

There are also benefits to studying in a room which has a lot of natural light. Sunlight can increase your activity, your quality of life and can even improve your sleep. 

Think About How You’re Sitting  

If you’re lucky enough to have a desk or a table to study at, be sure to keep your body in a healthy posture. We suggest you: 

  • Aim to have your computer or laptop screen at eye level. You can stack it up on some books if this helps. 
  • Keep your mouse and keyboard close together so that you don’t need to stretch for them. 
  • If possible, set your chair height so that your elbows bend at a 90-degree angle while you’re typing, your forearms should be parallel to the floor. 
  • Avoid eyestrain by taking breaks and cleaning your monitor. 
  • Sit up straight. 

Organise Your Desk 

You can use your physical space to help you get stuff done. One idea could be to create a production line on your desk. 

On the left you could have all the jobs you need to do, completed tasks can go on the right, leaving the space in front of you to be for the work you’re currently focusing on. Each time you complete a task, you move it over to the next pile. 

You could also use sticky notes to help you focus. Write down your weekly goals, stick them up around your study area, and stay inspired. 

Get Comfy  

It’s never a bad idea to add a few personal items to your study area, as they can help to make you more comfortable. Maybe you have a little study mascot or a souvenir that can sit on your desk and help to keep your mood up. 

You could also decorate your desk with a plant. Live plants in a work environment can help to boost productivity, and studies suggest that seeing the colour green frequently can help you to think more creatively. 

A desk lamp can also be a nice touch. It brings warmth to your study space, while also reducing strain on your eyes. Alternatively, you could hang some fairy lights up, making your work area extra cosy! 

Ultimately, it’s down to finding out what works best for you. If you have any additional tips that you think could help others during their studies, share them using the hashtag #ExeCollTogether.

Six Tips on How to Study at Home

Just because the Exeter College site is closed, it doesn’t mean the learning stops.

If you need some help to get the most out of your study time from the comfort of your own home, then look no further.  

Thanks to our expert staff, your exceptional education can continue. But, in order to help you get the most out of digital learning, we’ve put together some top tips to help you study from home. 

Got your own tip for working from home? Use #ExeCollTogether on social media and we’ll share the best ones!  

Get Organised  

Before you begin your study session, make sure you’re prepared. Get your books out, line up your stationery and login to your laptop. Make sure you have everything you need before you get going.   

Plan Ahead   

Create a schedule and plan out your new daily habits; this new routine will become second nature before you know it. Next, think about what you want to achieve in your study sessions and set realistic goals for each. Finally, make sure you set yourself reasonable breaks… you need time to chill out, and those snacks aren’t going to eat themselves.   

Get a Study Buddy  

Make sure you’ve got a good support network. Everyone needs help and encouragement. Getting yourself a study buddy can make learning easier and a lot more fun. Bounce ideas off each other, share resources or compete in revision quizzes. Connect with a college friend and you’ll reap the benefits in no time. It’s also important to stay social during this time, so put time aside to have a chit-chat with your friends online!  

Rule of Three   

This is the perfect choice for all of you list lovers. The Rule of Three means that you reduce your list to three small tasks at a time. Once you’ve finished those three things, you can give each item a satisfying crossing-out before making a new list. This can help you break down your larger tasks into more manageable and achievable chunks.    

Find a Suitable Space   

Unfortunately, this suitable space probably isn’t your bed. Set yourself up at a desk or a table, and you’ll be so much more productive. Try and make sure you’re in a quiet place with limited distractions. By all means, make sure you have someone on hand for encouragement and support, but try and set clear boundaries. It’s hard not to procrastinate when you have people coming in for a chat every five minutes.  

Look Smart, Think Smart 

Sitting in your snuggly onesie all day sounds like a dream. But make sure you’re honest with yourself – is this going to make you more likely to slip into bad habits? Getting up and getting ready straight away can help set the mood for a productive day. Look smart, think smart.

#ExeCollTogether – How Exceptional Learning is Continuing at Exeter College

Following the Government announcement that all schools and colleges would be closing to the majority of students from 4.30pm on Friday, 20th March, Exeter College’s plan of action on delivering exceptional learning digitally has launched.  

Our staff have been preparing for this eventuality for some time and students and teachers are now transitioning their learning to an online format using Microsoft Teams, Moodle and College email addresses.  

“We all have a passion for technology, and we’re collectively geared up to continue supporting staff and students via remote working and learning,”

Paul Knee, ICT Manager

Since the Government announcement on last Wednesday, over 390 new online Microsoft Teams have been set up for classes for remote learning, with over 3600 students already prepared to continue their learning for the coming weeks. These figures are expected to rise dramatically as the transition continues. 

Our staff were given time to prepare online content for learners, and our digital services teams (ICT, Innovations and Learning Media Services) have been working tirelessly together to ensure, where possible, students can continue their learning as seamlessly as possible.  

Although we’re no longer physically together, the College community continues. It’s for this reason that the Exeter College social media accounts will be using #ExeCollTogether to share tips and advice from our staff and learners on how they’re getting the most from their learning at home during this uncertain time.  

In addition to teacher-led online activities and learning experiences, students have also been encouraged to form independent online study groups to help keep each other on track with work and maintain online social contact with friends.  

Students on Apprenticeship courses with us have been directed to a Remote Working Guide to support their studies during this interruption.  

Exeter College ICT Manager Paul Knee has been coordinating our digital teams with the rapid transition to online learning through Microsoft Teams and Moodle. He said, “We had been planning for a College-wide move to Microsoft Teams in September, but given the exceptional circumstances of recent weeks, we accelerated this programme to support the urgent need for remote teaching and learning now via the initiative we call Teams Classroom. 

“We all have a passion for technology, and we’re collectively geared up to continue supporting staff and students via remote working and learning.” 

Exeter College Digital Innovation and Engagement Manager Anthony Martin has been leading the drive to digital transformation. He said, “We have been preparing for changes to the workplace of the future and exploring ways of engaging our learners in more immersive digital technology. 

“The preparations being put in place follow our existing Digital Transformation Strategy, which has been developed by the team, and would lead to a September rollout of new digital learning platforms. We’re obviously making that transition in a lot quicker time frame than we had imagined or would have liked, but we do already have a lot of the technology in place to support staff and students to make a success of this. 

“We’re creating a package to support our tutors and get them using their digital skills in an efficient way. We’ve also enabled staff to share their best practice with each other in Microsoft Teams so that everyone is learning together. 

“At present, we’re creating a one-size-fits all system for staff and students, but as time goes on, things will adapt and shift to suit certain courses and learning styles. Sessions will be taught via Teams, video and audio remote lectures, screen sharing and interactive presentations, as well as some independent study activities. 

“We’re keen to ensure this whole process is as seamless as possible for students and that’s why we’re really focusing on supporting everyone to make the best possible start to this that they can. It’s a determination of mine that nobody is left behind.” 

Some online learning sessions have already taken place as students and staff get used to this new way of delivering education. Anthony said the feedback from sessions which have already taken place has been positive. 

“It’s early days, but four or five groups have already given feedback and they’re delighted with how it is working. The students are excited to use the tools, which is great to hear as we move in to this new learning environment. Their feedback is of great comfort to the team, knowing students feel supported in using these tools effectively and helping them continue their studies,” said Anthony.  

“It won’t be perfect from day one but, from what we’ve put together for everyone, it’s certainly going to help the transition.”

March 2000: Exeter College ranked as ‘best in the west’

As part of Exeter College celebrating 50 years as the UK’s first ever tertiary college, we’re talking to some of the inspirational students, staff and alumni who have helped make us the Ofsted Outstanding education provider we are today. 

Then: 

In March 2000, we welcomed Further Education Funding Council bosses into our College, who completed a breakdown inspection over a week-long period.  

Ranked against seven other local education centres, Exeter College came out on top. We obtained the best score for two performance levels and came second for a third.  

The inspectors commented on the outstanding student support and the impressive increase in our overall A Level pass rate, with a 13% increase since 1998.  

Tim Smith, Principal at the time, said, “At a time when education is coming under such intense scrutiny, it is good to achieve a grade profile that is probably the best in the west in the current academic year.”  

Now: 

Two decades later and we continue to uphold these incredible results, currently standing as Devon’s only Ofsted Outstanding further education College. 

We have also been named as the best in the South West for employer satisfaction in Apprenticeships and we’re on the Sunday Times Top 100 Not for Profit Employer list. On top of this, we’ve been selected as one of the first colleges in the country (the only one in Devon) to offer the T Level qualification, rolling out this September. 

Additionally, we’ve maintained our amazing results, setting new records for the latest academic year. Our A Level students achieved an overall pass rate of 99.7%, well above the national average. Our International Baccalaureate results were the best in the College’s history, with 100% of students passing and nearly a third of students achieving more than 40 points out of a possible 45.  

We couldn’t be prouder of all our students, staff and partners who have helped to shape and uphold the success of our college.

Exeter College is celebrating 50 years since being named as the UK’s first tertiary college.

National Accreditation for Exeter College Counselling Qualification

Exeter College’s Advanced Professional Diploma in Counselling Theory and Therapeutic Practice has been accredited by the National Counselling Society (NCS), providing professional backing to the Level 4 qualification being offered by the College for adult learners.  

The accreditation means that the NCS, one of the country’s leading professional bodies in this area, has signed off on the teaching and learning on the qualification and believe that the course develops students who are safe, competent and ethical to practice counselling professionally.  

“This accreditation is just another way we’re adding value to the courses we offer adult learners here at Exeter College,”

Sarah Mandeno, Head of Faculty for Professional and Adult Learning at Exeter College

As part of the accreditation process, Exeter College had to submit a formal application detailing the level of provision for students throughout the course and the learning content available. The NCS approval, which is effective immediately, provides an extra level of gloss for the qualification that gets people qualified to move directly into professional practice as a Counsellor and provides a secure route onto the Society’s Accredited Register. It gives confirmation of professional standing not only to newly qualified individual practitioners but also to their peers, potential employers and clients. 

The Programme Leader on the qualification, Zoe Gelis, said she was pleased to have the backing of the NCS. “I’m delighted that we’ve been awarded this accreditation by the National Counselling Society,” said Zoe. 

“We already know that we provide a truly beneficial course for learners and train counsellors who can move into the workplace confidently, but to have a national body sign off on our course is hugely rewarding.” 

“I’m pleased, not only for what this accreditation means for the College, but also for what it means for our learners. It’s great that our trainees will be able to state that they’ve completed an accredited course and have a qualification recognised by the Professional Standards Authority. That should hopefully give them an edge when it comes to their practice and employment opportunities later on.” 

The Advanced Professional Diploma in Counselling Theory and Therapeutic Practice is a qualification that is earned on a two-year, part-time programme of study that provides the practical and theoretical skills to become a confident professional Counsellor. Students on the course may have already completed the NCFE Award in Counselling Skills and Theory or demonstrated equivalent learning elsewhere. 

The Head of Faculty for Professional and Adult Learning at Exeter College Sarah Mandeno said, “It’s great that we as a College are constantly adding to what we have on offer for adults to study with us.” 

“We want to make sure that we offer qualifications which enable adults in our community to achieve their education and career goals. This accreditation is just another way we’re adding value to the courses we offer for adult learners here at Exeter College.”

Story Worlds: Mixing astrophysics and creative writing 

The Literary Platform and the University of Exeter joined students at Exeter College for an other-worldly writing workshop, where students mixed up astrophysics and dystopian fiction.    

Nathan Mayne, Professor of Astrophysics and Planetary Climates at the University of Exeter, was the first guest speaker. Nathan began by introducing the students to the theme and science of space, time and other planets.   

Learners then had the opportunity to try VR headsets, giving them an interactive and visual experience of these off-world sites.   

The Biggerers’ author Amy Lilwall then took over for the second half of the talk. Amy imaginatively linked everyone’s new-found astrophysics knowledge into her dystopian writing workshop. Students then produced their own piece of creative work.   

Nathan Mayne and Amy Lilwall

Creative Producer for The Literary Platform Hazel Beevers congratulated learners: “We aim to build skills and champion the work of young writers, so it was a pleasure to see students at Exeter College display such talent and imagination. 

 Anna Kiernan, publisher at The Literary Platform, added: “We are thrilled to be acting as a creative bridge, bringing together experts in astrophysics and English, to expand our understanding of creativity and creative potential.

“Exeter must engage with young voices from a range of backgrounds to futureproof its newly awarded City of Literature UNESCO status, and we are keen to be at the heart of that story as it unfolds.”  

Dee Rowett, Head of Faculty for English, Languages and IB at Exeter College commented: “We were delighted to the host the Story Worlds event at Exeter College and for our learners to have the opportunity to work in collaboration with a range of subject experts.  

“We are excited to continue building these workshops into the learning experience for our students. We hope to work with The Literary Platform and the university again in the future to develop these exciting opportunities.”    

To take part in the range of opportunities Exeter College has to offer, apply now to start in September 2020.

An open letter on tackling hate crime and racism in the community

We have signed an open letter with partners in Exeter on tackling hate crime and racism in our community, particularly in light of recent incidents in relation to coronavirus. This is a time when we must work together and support each other – not create more division and hurt.

We will stand together to tackle hate crime and hateful people, and in equal measure promote and celebrate diversity to ensure that love and respect always conquers hate. Please work with us and support us to make Exeter the best city to live in the world.

Read the letter in full:

We are proud of our diverse community in Exeter and the huge benefits people from around the world bring to our city and society. Regardless of race, background, belief or nationality everyone has a right to thrive in Exeter and feel welcome in the place they have made their home.

We know that the vast majority of people in Exeter share these values and that for most people Exeter is a warm, friendly and welcoming community. Indeed it is why Exeter is one of the fastest growing cities in the UK and people are choosing to come here from all over the world to live a better life.

It is in this context that we find the recent incidents of hate crime and racism to be so vile and abhorrent. The attacks on people in recent weeks in relation to coronavirus on the basis of ethnicity are cowardly and ignorant. Coronavirus is not associated with any one ethnic group or community, and we are all just as likely to get the virus as each other. In particular, we are very disturbed by the assumption that Chinese, Asian or Italian individuals in Exeter are responsible for the spread of the virus. They are not. This is a time when we must work together and support each other – not create more division and hurt.

As leading organisations in our community we wanted to send a message of unity and partnership so that everyone knows that we will stand together to tackle hate crime and hateful people. We want people who experience hateful and racist abuse to report it, get the support they need and ensure those who commit these crimes face justice. We will do everything in our powers to achieve this.

In equal measure, we will work closer together to build an inclusive and welcoming community for everyone so that we promote and celebrate diversity and ensure that love and respect always conquers hate.

Please work with us and support us to make Exeter the best city to live in the world.

Rebel Girl – Celebrating our creative female students this International Women’s Day

To celebrate International Women’s Day, we’re recognising some of our inspirational creative female students.  

Wide Awake

Thirteen of our incredible Performing Arts Academy students recently produced and performed their own scratch performance, Wide Awake.  

Based around the theme of protests, the students explored how it’s going to be their generation who has to save the world. From placards to speeches, soapboxes to flash mobs, the students creatively represented the art of protesting.  

Performing Arts Academy in Wide Awake

The students worked together well to create and develop the scratch performance; undertaking field visits, workshops and meeting with industry professionals. 

Drama and Theatre Studies student Ella Edmonds said, “This Scratch Performance shows a different type of theatre – it’s not one long linear play, it’s made up of different elements and approaches. I think it’s also quite a fun way to bring up the points that we wanted to without it being preachy. It was a lot of fun and we all enjoyed the experience.”  

With the support of freelance theatre practitioner Katie Villa, students wrote, produced and performed the thought-provoking show. The experience helped students develop skills in a wide variety of disciplines; something that should help them in a competitive industry.  

The concept of a scratch performance within the industry is to share work and gather feedback, discovering what does and doesn’t work. This again helps students to build upon their skills and learn for future performances.  

Audience member Kailem Hodge shared his opinion on the performance, “It was really good. I enjoyed the getting involved in writing a placard at the beginning; it felt very inclusive like we became a part of the performance.”

Forge

Chloe Harris, a second year Foundation Art Degree student, has recently had her work exhibited in Exeter.  

Titled ‘Forge’, Chloe’s triptych work was shown in the AWEsome Art Space in February this year.  

When talking about her styles and influences Chloe said, “I am increasingly finding creating art in a set of images works well with my abstract style.  Triptych, for these three, provided a consistency to the still life subject.” 

Forge, by Chloe Harris. Exhibited at the AWEsome Artspace in Exeter.

Chloe continued, “It was great to see my art in a professional context and I’d welcome another opportunity to exhibit again with more work. I have already entered the triptych for the Royal Academy Summer Show. 

“It’s important women take part in creative subjects because they are a great way to communicate. Also, for women with less confidence, the art can speak for itself. People’s perception and interpretation of art is what interests me the most.”
