1. BTEC Business Level 3 carried out bids to the Marketing department on resources for the Skills show.  The successful bids were selected and produced.  This caused more interest in Business courses and increased data collection on those prospective students.

1.  BTEC Business Extended Diploma level 3 were involved with the Marketing department on the review of the college logo and the business image

1.  BTEC Business Level 2 extended certificate achieved 7 merits, 7 level 2 passes and 11 level 1 passes in the Finance exam.

1. M & E monitored by all Personal Tutors and attendance therefore appeared this year better compared to last year. CM to add data
 
1. WEX has gone well.  All students have a placement completed or arranged. 11 students are completing their WEX in Portugal or Florence.  Staff have supported students on the placement in Portugal.

1. Educational visits and trips. Extended diploma Level 3 went to the law courts in Wolverhampton (Research for law unit) and Drayton Manor park (celebration reward for managing an event).  Level 3 Business students went to the Sea Life Centre.  

1.  Successful outcome from Pearson Standards Verification for BTEC Business Level 2 Extended Certificate and BTEC Business level 1 Diploma.  Both reports commented on the excellent practice in assessment and IV.

1. BTEC Business level 1 retention is 100%.

2. DS has caused a lot of frustration for staff and students.  There needs to be a simpler system which is easy for the student to complete and easily monitored.  With the reduction of tutorial hours for September 2018 DS should not be monitored by Personal Tutors.

2.  WEX - the role of arranging WEX should be removed from the Personal tutor as it is not possible to arrange in class.  Some students cannot do WEX outside of college due to their personal learning needs/disability.  This needs to be investigated and alternatives explored.

2. Staff issues this year due to illness and lack of recruitment have meant that new and agency staff have had to be taken on.  This has caused disruption to students with some classes having had 3 different tutors during the year.  Existing lecturers have had to give extra support and time to students and new staff which has increased their workload.

2. M & E - issue with changing staff have had a negative affect on students. Lecturers should be informed of staff changes.
