Diploma Support Programme
From autumn 2008, with partners, the Learning and Skills Network will provide the DSP to help schools plan, develop and implement the most significant educational reforms for many years. LSN’s contribution to the partnership will include high quality bespoke training for the first ten lines of the diplomas and include a Vocational Learning Strand to carry on the work of the VLSP. It will consist of a generic programme, mapped against the six TDA themes, available to all consortia which have been successful in Gateway 2 submissions, consortia who are working towards delivery as well as schools and colleges offering the applied GCSEs and A levels.
The Diploma support programme is delivered on behalf of the Learning & Skills Improvement Service (LSIS) by the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT) and partners: LSN ; Pearson Education and the Workshop.
