Vision
Curriculum Model
The curriculum model lists the college’s current course provision, identifying number of students and total number of current onsite daytime guided learning hours (GLH). This forms the base GLH which should concur with the ILR records held by the LSC. The model is then used to project growth for existing courses, consider the demise of potentially redundant courses and inclusion of any new provision.
Projected growth needs to correlate with the financial forecast requirements in that growth should be projected three years post construction completion. This growth needs to be agreed with the local and regional LSC officers. The college’s strategic development plan forms the starting point for considering such growth projections. The model further analyses curriculum in respect of how the college deliver their curriculum.
The total agreed projected GLH forms the basis of space calculations to determine the minimum and maximum overall space requirements. The completed curriculum model becomes the brief for the space modelling exercise.
