Highbury College, Portsmouth: Outstanding Provision in Further Education is a record of the eight workshops offered at Highbury College's 'Outstanding Showcase' event which took place on 4 November 2011. The showcase celebrated particular areas of good practice and the outcome of the College's journey over recent years, during which time its Ofsted inspection grades moved progressively from Satisfactory to Good and on to Outstanding. 'At last we have it, a very modern manual on the leadership of learning to outstanding levels in FE and Skills This generative publication from Highbury College walks us through, with amazing clarity and generosity, a systemic whole-college approach for a whole sector - via constant, consistent and conscientious improvement - breeding ambition as it goes, and just at a time when this topic moves to centre stage in the sector's life. This is organisational and professional dignity at its best, managed by the best - accessible, respectable and doable while holding proudly to its own core values and unceasing efforts on behalf of learners. I commend it to all of us.'
Academical dress has been worn by students and graduates for hundreds of years and even in these modern times shows no obvious sign of becoming obsolete. In addition to the distinctive robes granted by universities to their graduates, many other organisations, particularly musical colleges and societies, theological colleges and learned societies, specify hoods and gowns for their members, fellows and diplomates. This volume is a comprehensive guide to these robes, and a companion to the updated and expanded third edition of Dr George Shaw's classic work on the academical dress of British and Irish universities.
