WWFSThe problem we need to solve

• Jack is 14, in Year 9 at John of Gaunt and about
  to
• choose his options. School is okay but sometimes
  he
• gets in trouble for bad behaviour. Hes never
  been
• top of the class but not bottom either. Some are
• subjects are boring. He would like to take the
  Creative
• and Media Diploma at Matravers but hes worried
  about
• Travelling out of Trowbridge
• What his parents will say
• Being in a different uniform to other students
• Missing other things on the timetable

WWFSThis is what we are trying to achieve

• The collaborative development of the 14-
• 19 curriculum in order to provide
• pathways for all students.This involves
• A transport network linking schools in a rural
  area
• Schools retaining their identity whilst
  developing a regional identity
• Engaging employers to offer work-based learning
• Building a robust ICT infrastructure
• Developing a West Wilts Strategy for managing
  behaviour

WWFSIf we are successful, life for Jack will be
different because

• Travelling to another school is fine. He even
  enjoys making new friends and seeing a different
  town
• The Creative and Media Diploma is great. Jack can
  see how it relates to his future career and this
  helps his motivation in core subjects too.
• The ICT infrastructure means Jack feels supported
  in Creative and Media even when he isnt at
  Matravers.
• Jack feels supported and has good careers advice.
  His behaviour is much better.
• Jacks parents are pleased with his progress and
  the information from the Federation has helped
  them to understand the new course Jacks taking.
  How things have changed since their day!
