Introduction
Derbyshire County
Derbyshire is a County of great diversity, being essentially a rural economy in
the west and a former coal mining economy in the north-east, the Erewash
Valley and Swadlincote. 75% of the population live in 25% of the area across
the County meaning there are large sparsely populated agricultural areas, and
concentrations of population in thirteen towns of between 10,000 and 100,000
people. The topology and geology has directed where industry developed
historically and this legacy has led to the many challenges regarding the
socio-economic context of the eight administrative districts. These factors
influence the decisions made regarding school place planning and as such
this is an important context against which to draft this plan. There are areas
which once depended for employment and social context on the former
mining industry, large areas of outstanding natural beauty but with rural and
tourism issues to address, and growing commuter belts linked to the
development of housing and light industry. This variety provides a significant
challenge to elected representatives and officers of Derbyshire, but is one
which is embraced wholeheartedly.
School Organisation Plan
The School Organisation Plan is a contextual document. It draws conclusions
about the need to add or to remove school places within Derbyshire. The plan
helps the Local Authority, schools, parents, local communities and other
interested parties to understand the need for school places and to establish
future demands. The plan itself is not intended to identify individual schools
but to consider the future need for school places in the various areas of
Derbyshire.
The Local Authority has a statutory duty to ensure that sufficient school places
are available within their area for every child of school age whose parents
wish them to have one, to promote high educational standards, to ensure fair
access to educational opportunity, and to promote fulfilment of every child’s
educational potential. The Local Authority must ensure there are sufficient
schools in their area and promote diversity and parental choice. Where pupil
projections indicate that there is likely to be a shortage of places over the
projection period, the analysis of demand will enable this to be addressed in
the most appropriate way, for example through a capital project or by a
realignment of normal areas.
Central Government has a clear policy and expectation that surplus places
should be removed from the overall supply of places wherever possible.
Maintaining unnecessary empty school places is costly and Local Authorities
are required to keep the position under review and take action to remove
surplus places. The School Organisation Plan addresses the context and the
School Organisation Plan
4
2008/9 – 2012/13
issues regarding school place provision, seeking to ensure quality of provision
which is cost-effective.
The Children and Young People’s Plan for Derbyshire
The School Organisation Plan should be seen in the context of the Children
and Younger Adult’s Plan for Derbyshire (CYAPD) which has been the subject
of extensive consultation with schools and other partners. The CYAPD
outlines a bold strategic vision to ensure the best possible outcomes for
children and young people by –
 ensuring and maintaining excellent services;
 delivering services which recognise the needs of particular
communities, focussing on those with poorer outcomes;
 integrating governance, strategy, processes and front-line services
where evidence suggests significantly improved outcomes for
children and young people;
 working closely with the voluntary and community sector;
 listening and responding to the voice of all children, young people
and their families;
 emphasising the importance of prevention by re-directing services,
wherever possible, to ensure intervention at the earliest possible
stage;
 valuing and responding to diversity.
Key priorities have been agreed for the coming year which include
 tackling health inequalities including infant mortality, and reducing
obesity and teenage pregnancy rates;
 developing the quality of care by reducing out of authority
placements, improving the stability of care placements and meeting
national care standards;
 improving the life chances of all children by ensuring they attend
education and achieve their potential;
 ensuring children and young people make a positive contribution by
participating in decision making and do not become involved in antisocial behaviour;
 enhancing the economic well-being of children and young people by
enhancing education, employment and training opportunities and
achieving the child care targets;
 protecting children and young people from bullying and racism.
Derbyshire Local Authority, in common with all Local Authorities, is working
within a framework of partnerships and these partnership plans can affect
School Organisation issues. The Derbyshire Community Strategy is a key
document which guides the work of the County Council, other public bodies
and voluntary sector organisations across the County. The strategy has been
School Organisation Plan
5
2008/9 – 2012/13
developed by the Derbyshire Partnership Forum which is a collection of over
fifty such agencies working in the County, who are committed to working
together to improve the quality of life for all people in Derbyshire. Represented
on the partnership are all the local councils, the Police, the Probation Service,
Primary Care Trusts and the voluntary and community sectors. The
Community Strategy makes sense of the plans and agendas of all the
organisations working across Derbyshire by drawing everyone together to
share resources and work together towards common, over-arching goals. The
priorities established in the Community Strategy sit under four themes which
mirror the Derbyshire Local Area Agreement. This gives local partners more
freedom and flexibility to choose how funding is spent. The themes are 



safer and stronger communities;
children and young people;
sustainable communities;
healthier communities and older people.
Local Authorities are required to publish a Children and Young People’s Plan
as the single strategic over-arching plan for all services affecting children and
young people, and includes reference to strategic planning for school places.
It is in this context that the Local Authority must establish a rationale for
supporting popular and successful schools, whilst seeking to ensure that
resources are targeted most effectively and in a cost-efficient manner.
Impact of Recent Legislative Changes
The Education and Inspections Act 2006 changed the process by which Local
Authorities could make decisions on proposals where a school closure was
the preferred approach to over-provision of school places. Formerly, such
decisions have been referred to the School Organisation Committee; this
independent body could review the arguments in favour and against
proposals to close schools and reach a decision on the future of school
provision. The role of the School Organisation Committee (SOC) was integral
to the school places planning process.
This legislation ended the role of the SOC and placed the decision making
role in the hands of the Local Authority, subject to a number of legislative
constraints and checks. Following a process of consultation, publication of
proposal(s) and representation from parties in favour and against the
proposal, the Local Authority makes the decision on whether a school should
close or not.
The DCSF guidance for Local Authorities is clear that education must be
provided in a cost-effective way and that empty spaces represent a poor use
of resources. Local Authorities are encouraged to take action to remove
School Organisation Plan
6
2008/9 – 2012/13
empty spaces at schools, particularly where the school has a quarter or more
places unfilled and at least 30 surplus places.
This legislation brought new powers and new pressures and responsibilities to
the Local Authority in the area of school place planning, and the
implementation of the strategic policy on dealing with surplus places,
discussed in detail later in this document.

2008/9 – 2012/13
Demographic Information
It is fundamental to the development and assessment of the School
Organisation Plan to analyse demographic information relevant to the supply
of school places. This includes
 the numbers of pupils in the Authority and projected pupil numbers
for the five year period of the plan;
 the number on roll at each maintained school within the Authority
area – including special schools – compared with its capacity,
identifying explicitly the number of empty places available at the
school (with aggregated statistics broken down by age range,
category and denomination and separately identifying the position in
enhanced resource bases, special schools, by type of SEN and
whether provision is day or boarding);
 numbers of schools with sixth forms and number of sixth form
places, and numbers of further education colleges and capacities
within the Local Authority as a whole and each sub-area.
Attached to the School Organisation Pan is a series of appendices giving
statistical information relating to these issues.
Pupil Number Forecasts for the Local Authority
These pupil projections are estimates of the number of pupils that are likely to
attend Derbyshire Local Authority maintained schools over the next five years.
The projections are based on information available in January 2008. It
includes population data provided by Derbyshire Primary Care Trusts and
pupil numbers from the Pupil Level Annual Schools’ Census of schools
(PLASC). The primary pupil numbers show the number of full time and part
time pupils but exclude nursery pupils. These projections do not take into
account the effects of new housing developments. Primary numbers are
projected to fall by up to 3% over the forthcoming five years, whilst the
secondary population is expected to decrease by 9% during the same period.
Primary and Secondary School Statistics
These are shown at an individual school level and are ordered by district
council. Infant and junior schools are included in the list of primary schools.
The statistics contain details of each school’s number on roll, net capacity, the
number of statemented and non-statemented children, the extent of
overcrowding or the analysis of the number of surplus places.
Special Schools
Statistics for the Authority’s ten special schools are listed. These include each
school’s location, number on roll, capacity and boarding provision, if
School Organisation Plan
8
2008/9 – 2012/13
applicable. The seven Support Centres are managed by the Behaviour
Support Service. These provide for Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 pupils on a
part time basis. Key Stage 2 pupils are dual registered as they remain on the
roll of their maintained primary school in addition to attending the Support
Centre.
Enhanced Resource Schools
The Authority maintains nine primary and nine secondary Enhanced
Resource Schools. These are specialist units attached to maintained schools.
Some offer specific provision, others take children with a range of differing
needs.
Information Relating to Pupils Out of School
A number of children from the Local Authority, for a variety of reasons, do not
attend a mainstream or special school. These are listed in this section.
Pupils Educated Outside the Local Authority
A number of pupils with Special Educational Needs are educated outside the
Authority. Information regarding the numbers of types of places and the
providers are included.
Places Derbyshire makes available for pupils from other Local
Authorities
Derbyshire Local Authority special schools and Enhanced Resourced Schools
make available a number of places for pupils from other Local Authorities with
special needs. These are listed according to pupil needs.
Summary of Surplus Places
This is presented as primary and secondary school information. It summarises
the numbers of pupils, capacity, statemented/non-statemented children,
extent of overcrowding and amount of surplus places by district council.

The Role of the Admissions Forum
The Derbyshire Admissions Forum was set up as required by the 1998 Act,
amended by the Education Act 2002 and the Code of Practice for Admissions
and Appeals of January 2003. The Education and Inspections Act 2006
introduced further revisions, and a consultation is proceeding on the
Admissions Code currently.
The Admissions Forum provides a vehicle for admission authorities and other
key interested parties to meet together in order to discuss the effectiveness of
local admission arrangements, seek agreements on how to deal with difficult
admissions issues, and advise admission authorities on ways in which their
arrangements could be improved. To that end, all admission authorities must
have regard to any advice given by their Local Authority Forum.
The Derbyshire Admissions Forum has seventeen core members as follows 
Three elected members of Derbyshire County Council (“the authority”)

Three representatives of Community and Voluntary Controlled Schools
in the County

Two representatives of Foundation Schools in the County

Three representatives of Voluntary Aided Schools in the County

One Church of England Diocesan representative

One Roman Catholic Diocesan representative

Two Parent Governor representatives

Two representatives from the local community
In addition, a representative from Derby City Admission Authority is invited to
each meeting of the Forum.
In its meetings, the Forum has discussed and agreed on the following matters
–
 that looked after children should be given priority in any admission
authority over subscription criteria;
 a co-ordinated scheme for secondary and primary admissions;
School Organisation Plan
10
2008/9 – 2012/13
 a protocol for ‘hard to place’ pupils;
 a protocol for looked after children;
 the monitoring of admission appeals, and review of admissions’ appeals
procedures;
 procedures for in-year placements;
 a structure for managing movement between schools for pupils;
 a review of all materials associated with applications for primary and
secondary school places.

Policies and Principles Relevant to the Provision of School Places
School Performance
The Authority aims to enable all children to achieve the five ‘Every Child
Matters’ outcomes:





to enjoy and achieve;
to be healthy;
to stay safe;
to make a positive contribution to the community;
to achieve economic well-being.
Analysis of the achievement of children in Derbyshire schools, including
through Ofsted inspections, indicates that overall performance is above
national levels. Derbyshire performance compares favourably with that in
similar Local Authorities.
The Authority takes the view that the provision of sufficient and appropriate
accommodation and learning environments, which are of high quality, can
contribute significantly to the outcomes of individual pupils and schools. The
Authority’s Asset Management Plan will directly address these issues.
When there is a need to consider a re-organisation of school places,
proposals should seek to make the best possible use of existing high quality
and any proposed new accommodation to help maximise the performance of
those schools in the future.
In considering school performance for the purpose of the organisation of
school places, the Authority will consider evidence from evaluations of school
performance. Evidence sources will include:
 pupil performance, including ‘RaiseOnLine’ and within Key Stage
analyses;
 pupil performance targets and progress towards those targets;
 the outcomes of OFSTED inspections, including where schools have
been identified as 'requiring Special Measures' or requiring a 'Notice
to Improve';
 school self-evaluation including the Ofsted SEF;
 School Improvement Plans;
 progress towards the targets in the School Improvement Plans
including the impact of improvements since the last Ofsted
Inspection;
 the judgements made by the Local Authority on the performance of
the school including any judgement that the school is formally
causing concern.

12
2008/9 – 2012/13
Diversity of Provision
The Authority recognises the desirability of diversity of provision by religious
or denominational conviction, and would wish to avoid changes that would
reduce the proportion of denominational provision within Derbyshire. The
Authority has established good working relationships with the Roman Catholic
Dioceses of Nottingham and Hallam and with the Anglican Diocese of Derby.
The population of Derbyshire is pre-dominantly white, with approximately 1%
of its population from ethnic minorities. All maintained schools in the county
are co-educational and comprehensive and therefore there are no issues of
gender discrimination in terms of the overall provision of school places. The
Authority has no plans for the establishment of single sex schools. The Local
Authority is committed to helping schools develop their own capacity to raise
standards through seeking Specialist School status. The Local Authority is
supporting the development of a range of specialisms across the County to
develop good practice across the curriculum. Over time, the Local Authority
wishes to see each school promoting its own distinctive character and mission
through the development of specialist provision set within a framework of
socially inclusive, community education.
Collaborative Partnerships and Federations
In recent years the Authority has developed, with its schools, the concept of
‘learning communities’ whereby schools and other providers of learning
opportunities within the community served by the school work collaboratively
to support a range of initiatives to improve learning for all groups. This
concept of Learning Communities is a key feature in the future of secondary
education in the County. The BSF vision statement sets out how Learning
Communities will provide a framework in Derbyshire for the removal of
barriers to learning, ensure improvements in attainment and achieve the five
outcomes for the children and young people in the Children Act 2004. At the
heart of that concept is the commitment and shared responsibility of all
partners in the success of all learners across the learning community. This is
more than simply working in parallel on a common path, but rather an
integrated, cohesive and indeed combined approach in which each centre
accepts a shared responsibility for the achievement and progress of learners
across the whole Learning Community.
A Learning Community in Derbyshire is a partnership between all providers of
education and learners of any age, in a defined area, to improve learning and
raise educational achievement through collaboration. Derbyshire has ten
Learning Communities covering the whole of the County. These emerged
from the 14-19 Pathfinder Projects and were reflected in the StAR report of
the Derbyshire LSC. Collaborative working and planning is taking place in all
of them. The Learning Community may include Children’s Centres and other
early years’ providers, primary, secondary and special schools, Local
School Organisation Plan
13
2008/9 – 2012/13
Authority support services, FE Colleges, Support Centres, work based training
providers, adult and youth services, PCTs, voluntary agencies as well as
other appropriate groups.
The Authority has held discussions with a number of infant and junior schools
considering formal mergers to create new primary schools. The creation of
Gorseybrigg Primary School in Dronfield, Brooklands Primary School in Long
Eaton, North Wingfield Primary School, and the Howitt Primary Community
School in Heanor has been concluded successfully via this route.
Federations of schools will be encouraged where it is felt that this may lead to
raising standards. Four such federations exist in Derbyshire at present, in
Wirksworth, Marlpool, Pinxton and Chesterfield, but further proposals may
emerge from the development of the ‘Learning Communities’ referred to
above.
Building Schools for the Future
Funding for capital development has been recognised as a high priority in
recent years, and there has been significant investment in schools. The
development of the Private Finance Initiative has enabled this Authority to
provide new buildings for secondary schools at Tupton Hall, Chapel-en-leFrith, Long Eaton and Newbold, Chesterfield. Primary school replacement
schemes and significant improvements in all schools are being funded
through the Authority’s capital programme. The Government plans to invest
in all secondary schools in the next ten to fifteen years have led to the
development of the ‘Building Schools for the Future’ initiative. This long term
strategy to improve the environment in secondary schools has its foundation
in the context of developing the 14-19 curriculum, greater use of ICT, support
for Special Educational Needs and inclusion, Extended Schools and the
development of Academies. Raising standards in education is the key focus of
the initiative.
The Authority has undertaken option appraisals in the secondary schools in
the former coalfield areas of North-East Derbyshire, and, as the first phase of
an on-going programme, secured approval in principle for the rebuilding/modernisation of five secondary schools and Stubbin Wood Special
School through the BSF Initiative. The Authority is in the process of
developing a Local Education Partnership (LEP) to deliver the BSF
programme. This is the first phase of an on-going programme. The first
projects will start on site in 2009. This will comprise: –
 The Bolsover School
 Clowne, Heritage Community School
 Staveley, Springwell Community School
Design work for the remaining schools in wave 3 will follow in early 2009;
these schools are School Organisation Plan
14
2008/9 – 2012/13
 Netherthorpe School in Staveley, and
 Stubbin Wood School in Shirebrook.
As part of the first phase of projects, Shirebrook Community School will
become an Academy, and will be re-built.
The Government has agreed that the council can bring forward six further
schools from wave 5. Planning has begun already and will follow on from the
wave 3 schools. These additional schools include three secondary and two
special schools in the Alfreton Learning Community, namely






Tibshelf Community School
Alfreton Grange Arts College (formerly Mortimer Wilson School)
Swanwick Hall School
Alfreton Park Community Special School
Swanwick School and Sports College (formerly The Delves School)
Frederick Gent School
It is anticipated that the remaining Derbyshire secondary and special schools
will come into the BSF programme in phases over the next 12 years.
This initiative brings together the Government’s plans for special needs
provision and inclusion, Schools’ Access Initiative improvements as well as
Workforce improvement, supporting parental preference and enhancing
successful schools. As part of the BSF submission, the Authority developed
with its secondary schools, colleges, and other parties, a vision for secondary
education, 11-19 and beyond, which has been approved by the DCSF. This
vision for the future emphasises the themes of partnership and collaboration,
Extended Schools, inclusion, extended use of ICT, a remodelled workforce,
vocational provision and the development of flexible, individual pathways for
all young learners. The BSF initiative will form a key part of school
organisation planning for the Authority for the foreseeable future.
Supporting the 14-19 Agenda
Curriculum provision and personalised learning is a description of the
individual educational journey or pathway every student undertakes between
the ages of 11-19. This journey has its roots in primary school provision and
extends into post-19 and lifelong learning opportunities. This takes places
within a learning community consisting of different individual learning centres
that includes




schools
colleges
training providers
employers
School Organisation Plan
15
2008/9 – 2012/13
 higher education
as well as other agencies such as Connexions, Youth and Adult Community
Education, together with Health, Social and Community services. No single
learning centre can offer the full range of provision outlined in the BSF Vision
which places full, open and honest collaboration and partnership at the heart
of this provision. The BSF Vision describes a provision which no Learning
Community has, as yet, achieved but to which all must aspire over time. Each
Learning Community will offer every student access to a curriculum that
meets their personal learning needs, interests, abilities and ambitions where
they want to learn, whether that is in a school or college, or with a training
provider or employer. Innovative approaches to teaching and learning,
supported by imaginative collaborative approaches will ensure genuine
access within efficient and cost effective structures. Not all programmes will
be available in all centres. Each Learning Community will plan and agree
provision across all individual centres in the area. They will ensure genuine
access to all curriculum opportunities across the whole of the Learning
Community. Learning Communities will seek to eradicate the mistaken
perception that vocational learning is a second best option, only suitable for
the academically less able. As an equal partner alongside the core, and within
the entitlement curriculum, the vocational programmes extend individual
choice, offering alternative and complementary pathways for students. To
deliver the much wider curriculum outlined in the BSF Vision and to offer the
full range of learning pathways, some students may attend another school or
learning centre for some part of the week. A small number may attend more
than two locations. Alternatively, where a particular curriculum option is
popular in a school which does not offer that option on site, it may be possible
to bring the learning to the learners through staff from other schools, an FE
college or another provider delivering the curriculum on the school site.
Investment in ICT and the development of e-learning within BSF will enable
further non-traditional approaches with online learning, video conferencing
and virtual classroom options all part of the flexible approaches which
Learning Communities will use to deliver the curriculum.
Delivery Models
Derbyshire is a very large diverse county with its population and hence its
secondary schools heavily skewed towards the semi-urban eastern side of the
county. In these more relatively densely populated areas, schools are closer
to each other and there is, predictably, more FE provision. However, the west
of the county is more rural, with secondary schools considerable distances
apart and FE provision usually some distance away. This means different
models will be adopted in each Learning Community to ensure that full 14-19
pathways are available for all students. What will be common to all Learning
Communities is that all 14-19 providers will come together and determine
jointly how they can offer the full breadth of the curriculum. In the shorter term
they will do so using the limited buildings and resources available currently. In
School Organisation Plan
16
2008/9 – 2012/13
each phase of BSF, each Learning Community will determine with the
Authority, within the BSF cost envelope, the particular strategy and provision
which suits their learning area and which offers the best progression towards
the full curriculum range. Some models which might be adopted are
exemplified in the BSF Vision.
Post-16 Provision
The secondary reorganisations of the mid to late 1980s in Derbyshire were
carried out within a pre-LMS, pre-National Curriculum environment and many
small sixth forms were closed. Much Post 16 education was delivered through
FE and tertiary colleges. Post-16 provision in schools was in the main a range
of A Level courses plus some one year GCSE re-sit groupings. Twenty-six out
of Derbyshire’s forty-seven secondary schools provide post-16 education.
The Authority believes that the needs of post-16 students are different in the
21st Century and that if the widest range of curriculum options is to be offered
post-16, all secondary schools should deliver some post-16 provision. This
will be planned and coordinated by the Learning Community as a whole. The
post-16 curriculum on offer in each school will not be the traditional limited
range of A Levels, but will be a mixture of courses at different levels in both
general and vocational subjects. Each school's post-16 offer will be
determined through consultation in the Learning Community and will
complement the post-16 curriculum available in other schools, colleges and
from other providers in the area.
Existing 11-16 schools will build on their individual specialisms as all schools
achieve specialist school status. The development of second specialisms will
be planned and co-ordinated across the Learning Community. In Derbyshire's
secondary schools, the link between chronological age and levels of study will
be broken. Many schools have made progress in this area already. Very able
students will progress through various achievement and qualification levels in
advance of their chronological age. Others will need a longer time to complete
their course of study and to achieve success. The current situation in many
schools where this latter group of students have to leave their school at 16
and can only continue their learning in some other institution is unhelpful.
One of the principal targets for the Authority is the reduction in the numbers of
young people post-16 not in employment, education or training (the NEET
group). Young people with lower levels of achievement at 16 form the majority
of this group and if they are to be encouraged to continue in learning beyond
16, not only must there be a wide and attractive curriculum choice with clear
progression routes, but staying in learning must be made as easy as possible.
The Authority believes that by ensuring that some post-16 education can be
offered in all schools, the options available are increased and students will
have to make a clear decision to leave education rather than continue in some
form of post-16 provision. Offering post-16 education in 11-16 schools is
seen by the Authority as an essential element in a collaborative approach
towards the offer of the widest possible curriculum within a Learning
School Organisation Plan
17
2008/9 – 2012/13
Community. It might allow students working at Level 1 or 2 to finish their
studies beyond 16. It might allow students studying courses at various levels
in colleges or with other providers to receive support, for example in core
learning subjects. It might allow advanced courses to be offered where
demand across the Learning Community cannot be met from existing course
provision. Students following post-16 courses in 11-16 schools will be on the
roll of a neighbouring 11-18 school or an FE college. These and other flexible
approaches to post-16 will offer a real improvement in learning opportunity for
all students.
Primary Capital Strategy
From 2009 -10, (one year earlier for 23 pilot authorities) running parallel to
this BSF Programme, there will be a similar long-term strategic capital
investment programme focussing on primary schools.
The DCSF has stated that “The Primary Capital Programme will support the delivery of the Children’s
plan by:

creating primary schools equipped for 21st century learning, at
the heart of the community, with a range of children’s services in
reach of every family;

delivering a strategic approach to capital investment - supporting
national policy aims, delivering world class standards, access to
joined-up services for children and families; and addressing
local needs and priorities;

rebuilding, remodelling or refurbishing at least half of all primary
schools, including rebuilding or taking out of use at least 5 per
cent of school buildings in the worst physical condition (higher
for the most deprived communities);

focusing resources on deprivation nationally and in every
authority; and

re-configuring the primary capital stock to account for
demographic change.”
The purpose of the programme is –



rebuild, remodel or refurbish about half of primary schools;
supports national policy agenda: Children’s Plan, world class
standards, ECM, diversity and responsiveness, extended
services, personalisation;
targeted to address deprivation nationally and in every local

authority;
primary schools at the heart of the community, with ICT and
children’s services in reach of every family;
improve links between schools and early years settings –e.g.
through co-location with Sure Start Children’s Centres and
other children’s services.
Funding starts in 2008 and is expected to run for fourteen years, subject to
future government spending decisions. All primary schools are eligible,
including middle-deemed primary, VA foundation and Trust schools and
primary-age specials schools. In the first year, there is funding for regional *
pilots and all local authorities are involved from the second year. Schools not
receiving extra investment continue to receive annual capital grant (DFC).
The funding is organised thus 



additional funding of £150 million is ring-fenced in 2008–09,
rising to £650 million in 2009-10, and £1.1 billion in 2010-11;
funding for VA schools is at the usual 90% rate;
baselines will remain at £500 million a year for the duration of
the programme, subject to future government spending
decisions;
the allocation will be by formula, based on the number of
primary pupils and deprivation, with a floor to protect smaller
authorities;
there will be an added impact by joining up with existing DCSF
funding streams;
there is potential for a greater added impact by joining up with
eligible capital from other government departments and local
resources.

private sector to deliver
Pilots develop regional capacity to showcase and develop best
practice
For this Authority, the funding allocated for the first two years of the
Programme is £7m in 2009/10 and £9m in 2010/11. The Authority will have to
demonstrate that the Primary Capital Programme funding is being used to
supplement existing capital investment for primary schools. Prior to receiving
and allocating this funding the Authority must develop and agree a ‘Primary
Strategy for Change’ with the DCSF. In accordance with DCSF Guidance,
the Primary Strategy for Change is to contain five core elements, described in
broad terms below.
a. The local perspective - this section provides a succinct
overview of the authority’s aims and objectives for primary
education in the 21st century and briefly describe the area, its
people and its primary schools;
b. Baseline analysis - this section outlines the Authority’s
starting point, both in terms of what is good about primary
education now and what needs to improve. It must be based
on a thorough analysis of school-level data on educational
performance, deprivation, places, building condition and
suitability, links with early years providers, extended services
and co-location of primary schools, Sure Start Children’s
Centres and wider children’s services.
c. Long-term aims - based on the analysis of what needs to
change in primary education, this section sets out the
Authority’s long term aims for the programme. It will show the
investment priorities for the next 14 years to transform
education through better facilities and the pattern and type of
school.
d. Approach to change - this section shows how the Authority
will run the Primary Capital Programme to ensure that primary
education changes from the baseline position to the
achievement of the long-term aims.
e. Initial investment priorities - this section identifies the
specific priorities for investment during the first 4 years of the
programme, showing how these contribute to the long-term
aims. It also must specify the school projects to be delivered in
2009-10 and 2010-11 which will feed into national monitoring.
When developing the long-term aims and initial investment priorities for the
programme, local authorities are expected to have regard to the following
School Organisation Plan
20
2008/9 – 2012/13
national output assumptions:




5% of the worst condition schools to be rebuilt or taken out of
commission;
at least 50% of primary schools overall to be rebuilt,
refurbished or remodelled to bring them up to 21st century
standards;
targeting deprivation to locally determined criteria;
all remaining primary school needs to be met through devolved
formula capital.
The DCSF has committed to higher outputs for the “most deprived” areas.
This reflects:

the Government’s continuing commitment to addressing
childhood poverty;

the link between social deprivation and low achievement; and

the DCSF’s analysis of local authority data on condition and
suitability confirms that many of the worst school buildings are
situated in the most deprived areas.
Expanding Successful Schools
Significant expansion projects at successful schools have been undertaken
utilising “Basic Need” funding, examples being Belper School, Etwall John
Port School and Eckington School. The Authority is committed to expanding
successful schools within the strategic framework of monitoring and managing
the supply of school places. Hence, when assessing the priority of such
proposals, due consideration must be given to any effects such a project
might have on delivering local and Government priorities in neighbouring
schools. Where the expansion of a successful school is approved, the
Authority has adopted a policy of building permanent accommodation,
acknowledging that many of the Authority’s current problems relate to the
provision of low cost “temporary” classrooms some ten to twenty, or even fifty,
years ago. The systematic replacement of that life-expired temporary
accommodation is a further way in which successful schools have been
expanded.
Special Educational Needs
The Authority makes provision for children with special needs in four ways  individual support in the pupil’s local school;
 enhanced resource primary and secondary schools providing for
groups of children with specific needs;
School Organisation Plan
21
2008/9 – 2012/13
 the Authority’s own special schools and Support Centres;
 special schools run by the non-maintained sector or other Local
Authorities.
The proportion of students with statements in special schools in Derbyshire is
low. There is, however, a continuing demand from parents both for effective
inclusion and for separate special schools. The existing “positive mixed
model” in Derbyshire of special schools, Enhanced Resource [mainstream]
Schools (ERS), and mainstream school settings will be retained to respond to
parental demand and student needs. Some students attending special
schools currently should, in future, be able to have their needs met in
specialist ERS. The population of the special schools will include more severe
and challenging students placed outside of the County previously. The key to
delivering this “positive mixed model” will be the commitment, skills and cooperation of the various providers, and the level of partnership and studentcentred planning. Co-location of special schools on the same campus as
mainstream schools can bring many benefits, particularly in the ease with
which facilities, resources and staff can be shared.
As part of the BSF programme, the Authority will co-locate the secondary
department of its all-age special schools on the site of a nearby secondary
school wherever possible. The Head and Governors will retain responsibility
for both primary age pupils on the special school site and the secondary age
pupils on the secondary school site. The special school, through its primary
and secondary departments, will have facilities which will allow it to act as a
centre of excellence. Derbyshire has a number of special schools located on
or adjacent to secondary school sites already. Where it is possible to do so,
this model will be implemented in advance of the opportunities which the
capital investment of BSF will create.
There may be instances where a special school in Derbyshire is well rooted in
its community, has well-developed plans and activities within the Extended
Schools model, and is integrated closely with other schools and providers in
the area. In these circumstances, the advantages of the physical relocation of
part of the school on a secondary school site must be weighed against the
disruption of the existing community and developmental links which are
serving pupils and their parents well.
Size of Schools
Derbyshire is a predominately rural and semi-urban Authority. For this reason,
there are a relatively large number of small village primary schools and some
relatively small secondary schools. The Authority has recognised for some
time the special needs of isolated village communities, and has supported
small primary schools serving such communities through its LMS funding
formula, unless school governors themselves take the view that a small
school is no longer viable. In the secondary sector, the Authority takes the
School Organisation Plan
22
2008/9 – 2012/13
view that, as with the primary sector, there should be no hard and fast rule
concerning the minimum size of a secondary school. A number of factors can
influence the size of a school, crucially whether or not it is serving a rural area
and, within limits, its performance. The Derbyshire formula for financing
schools uses a number of indicators to reflect the additional resources needed
by smaller schools. For primary schools with a population of below 160
pupils, some additional funding is allocated on a sliding scale. The Authority
has ensured that the smallest primary schools have sufficient funding to
provide a minimum of two adults on site at all times. For secondary schools,
the funding formula includes a range of curriculum protection allocations
which reduce for schools with Key Stage 3 and 4 populations over 600. All
small schools receive help through other means, for example the benefits
from block allowances, which are made to cover some of the needs that all
schools have to meet, irrespective of size. The Local Authority, in considering
the establishment of new schools, regards one form entry (i.e. actual roll of
210) for primary schools and four forms of entry (a total 11-16 roll of 600) for
secondary schools as being a target minimum size, subject to analysis of
other influencing factors.
Class Sizes
When the need for additional teaching accommodation is identified, the
number of general classrooms to be provided is judged on the basis of class
sizes of thirty for primary schools and non-specialist teaching areas in
secondary schools. It is unlawful for schools to plan to organise Key Stage 1
pupils into classes exceeding thirty. Class sizes of a maximum of thirty for all
classes in primary schools must be regarded as a target to be achieved as the
funding for schools improves in Derbyshire. With the introduction of new
national funding arrangements for Local Authorities and schools from 2003/4,
the DCSF revenue grants in support of the KS1 and KS2 initiatives were
cancelled, and Derbyshire allocated replacement funding on a formula basis
as a part of the schools’ budget shares. In secondary schools, it is
acknowledged that teaching groups may be smaller for specialist practical
areas and DCSF area guidelines are followed in planning such provision.
Class sizes in special schools vary considerably depending on the nature of
pupils’ special needs.
Transport to Schools
Many years ago, the DCSF issued guidance on the maximum journey times
that should be expected for pupils travelling to and from schools. These were
 primary pupils - 45 minutes each way;
 secondary pupils – 75 minutes each way.
School Organisation Plan
23
2008/9 – 2012/13
This Authority has always used these targets as maximums, and will continue
to do so. The figures are used for pupils in mainstream and in special schools.
In practice, the great majority of pupils spend considerably less time than this
travelling to and from school. The County Council has conducted a campaign
to encourage more pupils to walk to school, car sharing, and other ways in
which car use for home to school travel can be reduced. The details of the
Authority’s transport policies and arrangements are set out in the “Parents’
Information Booklet” published each year. Many schools have now developed
Travel Plans in conjunction with the Local Authority to address environmental
concerns and the problems which arise frequently in relation to congestion at
the beginning and end of the school day. It is intended that every school will
develop such a Plan.
Parental Preference
As part of its plan for the reduction of Key Stage 1 class sizes, the Authority
reviewed the Standard Numbers (admission numbers) of all primary schools
with Key Stage 1 pupils. In order to facilitate the organisation of pupils into
classes of no more than thirty, the Standard Numbers were set in multiples of
10 (except for small schools with Standard Numbers of less than 30). Where
schools were over-subscribed, Standard Numbers were, in almost all cases,
increased and in the remaining small number left alone. In this way, the
Authority has increased the capacity of such schools to meet parental
preferences. In 2002/2003 all schools were re-measured and a new capacity
for each was calculated in accordance with the new “Net Capacity”
methodology introduced by the Government. New admissions numbers were
agreed with all schools based on these Net Capacities. In all cases, the
admission number is either equal to, or higher than, the figure indicated by the
Net Capacity measurement. In this way, parental preference has been
enhanced further by the Authority. When making proposals for the reorganisation of schools, the Authority will bear in mind the desirability of
responding to the popularity of schools. For example, if it were making
proposals to remove surplus places through the closure, or reduction in size,
of one or more schools, the popularity of all the schools involved, together
with their performance, would be a leading factor in deciding which schools to
reduce in size or close. Similarly, in areas of population growth, through
housing development or otherwise, similar considerations would be taken into
account in deciding which schools should expand. Clearly, other
considerations such as the physical capacity of a school site will have to be
taken into account. At present in Derbyshire the vast majority of pupils attend
their first choice of school. Patterns of parental choice can be influenced by
the availability and location of pre-school and childcare provision. The
Authority’s Early Years and Childcare Plan provides detailed information on
these matters. The parents of the majority of pupils with statements of
Special Educational Need attending mainstream schools can exercise their
preference of school in the same way as parents of children without
statements. However, where a special need can only be met through a
School Organisation Plan
24
2008/9 – 2012/13
specialised placement (in a mainstream Enhanced Resource School or a
special school or unit), parents are involved fully in decisions about the
placement of their child through the statutory processes.
In making proposals for change, the Authority will need to bear in mind that
the popularity of schools, particularly primary schools, can change very
rapidly, and the wish to respond to current patterns of parental preference
may need to be tempered in certain circumstances, by a longer term view of
the geographic location of provision.
Strategy for Removing Surplus Places
As illustrated in the data included in this School Organisation Plan, the Local
Authority pupil number forecasts for primary school places are projected to fall
by approximately 3% and secondary school places by approximately 9% over
the period of this Plan, although this will be counterbalanced in some areas by
the effects of new housing developments. The removal of surplus school
places has been a focus of attention from the Audit Commission and OFSTED
for several years, particularly since the Audit Commission produced a report
in 1996 entitled ‘Trading Places – the Supply and Allocation of School Places’.
Authorities have been judged in relation to two BVPIs highlighting schools
with more than 25% and 30 surplus places. The Audit Commission has just
removed this BVPI, although the DCSF continues to collect pupil numbers
and school capacity data to identify surplus capacity.
Decline in pupil numbers can threaten the quality of education that a school
can provide, as well as causing financial problems. Costs per pupil increase
as school numbers on roll fall. They have a higher proportion of fixed costs,
for instance Head Teacher and Deputy Head Teacher salaries, admin,
cleaning, caretaking costs and other premises costs. As rolls fall, the number
of schools with surplus places will rise if no action is taken. The key factors
which need to be considered in any decision to rationalise primary provision
will be:–
 projections of pupil numbers and surplus places;
 condition and suitability of existing school buildings;
 the performance of the schools, including comparative standards of
pupil attainment;
 leadership of the school;
 distance to alternative provision;
 maintaining a balance of faith and non-faith provision in an area;
 impact on community facilities, early years’ provision, Extended
School provision and social deprivation.
Options in each individual school/area are likely to be one or a mix of the
following strategies:
School Organisation Plan
25
2008/9 – 2012/13
(a)
Convert spare classrooms to alternative use
This is an attractive option in cases where the school has surplus
accommodation which could be converted to an alternative use (e.g. as a
dedicated ICT room) at a modest cost, thus improving the accommodation
and educational provision available at the same time as removing surplus
places. Such a policy supports the Authority’s drive to improve educational
achievement by improving the facilities available. Several schools have
utilised surplus space for alternative use already – playgroup, resource room,
library etc – so it may not be a feasible option always. The creation of colocated services, including through Children’s Centres, is a possibility which
the Authority is keen to explore in appropriate locations, and officers are
looking to establish a protocol for the investment of capital funding for
Extended Services which could utilise surplus capacity within school settings.
Where such opportunities exist, consideration will be given to the use of
Modernisation Funding and/or jointly funded schemes working with Governing
Bodies.
(b)
Amalgamation of infant and junior schools
The Authority has taken the opportunity of considering the merger of infant
and junior schools to create a 'new' primary school where a Head Teacher
vacancy has arisen in one of the two schools. Sometimes such mergers have
been linked to a removal of surplus places; on other occasions there has been
no such issue and the proposals have been pursued on other educational
grounds. If such proposals are aimed at removing surplus places, there can
be a significant capital implication as the scheme could involve extending one
of the two existing schools in order to replace the other.
The Authority will take a more proactive approach to such mergers, even
where there is no Head Teacher vacancy if there is a clear need to remove
surplus places over and above what could be achieved through the alternative
use of such surplus space. In such cases, the Authority will open discussions
with the Governing Bodies concerned to explore the possibilities and both
capital and revenue funding implications in further detail prior to considering a
public consultation exercise. If opportunities arise to demolish surplus
buildings for which there is no future identified need then such action will be
taken to save on unnecessary revenue expenditure.
(c)
Area reviews of school places
The traditional route for removing places on a larger scale is to carry out area
reviews, as this Authority did for secondary education in the early 1990s. This
is not appropriate with regard to rural primary schools. However, if situations
develop where there are a number of schools within the same area with a
significant number of surplus places, a rationalisation of such places will be
School Organisation Plan
26
2008/9 – 2012/13
considered in full consultation with the Governing Bodies prior to any
consideration of a public consultation exercise.
(d)
Church Aided Schools
The Authority recognises the desirability of diversity of provision by religious
or denominational conviction, and recognises the need to avoid changes that
would reduce the proportion of denominational provision within Derbyshire.
The Authority has established good working relationships with the Roman
Catholic Dioceses of Nottingham and Hallam and with the Anglican Diocese
of Derby, and through those relationships encourage these bodies to consider
and address the issue of surplus places in denominational schools.
Early Years and Childcare Provision
Traditionally, Derbyshire has been a high level provider of Local Authority
nursery places. Derbyshire’s Early Years and Childcare Service (EYCS) has
established universal provision of free education places for all three year olds
within the County by working with the maintained, private, voluntary and
independent sectors. Since 1997, the numbers of providers and places have
increased steadily. All Derbyshire children from the term after their third
birthday are entitled to free early years’ education of five sessions of 2.5 hours
per week for 165 sessions per year. In the newly established Neighbourhood
Nurseries and Children’s Centres, it is proposed that 190 sessions will be
available to all children and families, in line with Local Authority provision.
These initiatives are making more use of existing property assets.
However, the popularity of full day education/care offered mainly by the
private sector for pre-school children has led to some under-use of Local
Authority nurseries. Cabinet has commissioned a study to develop extended
services in maintained nursery schools. The findings from this will be used to
inform future developments in maintained nursery classes that are currently
under-used and therefore have scope for developing additional services. This
will be undertaken in partnerships with other organisations that best meet the
needs of children and families. Derbyshire’s EYCS has concentrated on
developing high quality childcare. Approximately 40% of new provision is on
school sites, making good use of school premises, before and after school for
holiday care provision.
Children’s Centres Developments
Fifteen Children’s Centres have been developed in Phase 1 (2004/06)
including the Early Excellence Centre, the Neighbourhood Nurseries and Sure
Start local programmes. A further twenty-nine centres have been developed
as part of the Phase 2 for Children’s Centres (2006/8), offering full day care
for children aged 0 – 5 years including integrated education for 3 and 4 year
olds, some of which will be established on school sites. Phase 3 will target
School Organisation Plan
27
2008/9 – 2012/13
the less deprived areas and result in a further twelve centres being
established. The focus in phase 3 will be school sites to maximise the benefit
of the capital funding by improving those buildings.
Extended Schools
It is recognised that in many areas, schools may be the main building
available to and utilised by the local community. The Local Authority’s
approach to developing its Extended Schools agenda is to develop the notion
of “extended services in and around schools”. Extended services in and
around schools are an essential element of integrated service delivery in the
county’s Change for Children agenda and, as such, they form part of a
coherent strategy which includes the development of the Children’s Centres
and multi-agency service delivery. To support the development of extended
services, a number of schools are piloting aspects of extended services. This
will contribute to a country-wide strategy. The Local Authority will be
supporting schools and partners within each Learning Community to address
the core offer of services outlined in the Government’s Extended Schools’
prospectus “Access and Opportunities for All”. School buildings will be open
longer to ensure greater community use of the facilities, which will increase
the value for money of this substantial capital investment. Discussions are
taking place with a range of partners, including District Councils, Health,
Police and the Sports Partnership, about the potential location of their
services on school sites as part of the Extended Services in and around
Schools and BSF Development. This will ensure that maximum value for
money is achieved from the capital investment, as well as meeting the
identified needs of the community.
Through the provision of extended services, schools will become more
welcoming to adults and parents, whose experience of school in the past may
have been negative. This will help attract adults into learning who may not
have achieved qualifications during their own schooling.
Derbyshire’s Early Years and Childcare Service has extensive plans to extend
childcare across the county. Breakfast and after school clubs, including study
provision, already exist in many schools. These will be extended in all areas,
as well as school holiday provision, to ensure extended childcare for parents
throughout the year. Schools are encouraged to work together to ensure such
provision is viable and sustainable, so that the provision is secure for parents
who want or need it.
The transformation of secondary education from an institution led model to
one driven by personalised learning, delivered through collaboration, can only
be fully exploited through a significant investment in ICT. This investment via
the BSF programme will provide network management, technical services and
support within schools of sufficient quantity and quality to enable schools to
regard ICT as 'on tap' and concentrate on teaching and learning. ICT in
School Organisation Plan
28
2008/9 – 2012/13
schools for the future will support the wider curriculum and the diverse
learning styles and will underpin the improvements in learning. Schools will
deliver the wider curriculum offer through traditional and e-learning
opportunities. Students will take greater ownership of their learning and
develop with their teachers a personalised learning programme. The BSF
Vision gives further details of how ICT may transform learning, school
timetabling and certain administrative tasks in the future. The flexibility of
space usage which will be a feature of schools and of the new teaching and
learning which will develop will be matched by the flexibility with which the ICT
facilities can respond to the various space configurations within the building.
School Organisation Plan
29
2008/9 – 2012/13
Capital Spending Priorities
The AMP Advisory Group helps the Authority to ensure that strategic AMP
priorities are reviewed regularly and that there is a greater understanding and
‘transparency’ to the process of determining the priorities. Building on existing
priorities, it is anticipated that the major initiatives to be pursued over the next
four years will include: the BSF programme;
 the development of Children’s Centres;
 the continuing amalgamation of infant and junior schools where
appropriate;
 the pursuit of cost-effective schemes to remove surplus places,
especially in the primary sector;
 the creation of single-site primary schools wherever possible to
remove split-site inefficiencies;
 the replacement of temporary accommodation which is no longer
cost-effective to maintain;
 the systematic replacement of the worst school accommodation;
 the modernisation of the most ‘unsuitable’ accommodation;
 capital schemes arising for the review of special school provision
across the County;
 continued improvements to the accessibility of all schools.
Priorities arising from Premises Surveys
(a) Condition Priorities
The priority grading developed by the DCSF has been adopted for property
condition issues. This includes a priority rating 1-4 and a condition rating A-D.
If resources allow all priority 1s to be addressed then priority 2s are assessed,
and so on. However, in reality funding will only allow a proportion of priority
2s to be addressed, so they are filtered down according to the Condition
rating. Condition related priorities are funded from the Modernisation Fund
together with schools’ Devolved Formula Capital allocations. In addition, the
Council has a planned maintenance programme which provides an additional
£3.1 million per year for capital repairs and maintenance at schools currently.
These two budgets are regarded as one in order to procure cost-effective
solutions to the highest priority schemes. Out of the Modernisation Fund
budget of approximately £16.425 million for 2008-10, the Authority allocated
£7 million to address the most urgent condition related works. The Authority
will focus this funding on addressing priority 1 works in the AMP plus those
most urgent works in priority 2. Many of the other improvement schemes
being funded from the Modernisation Fund will incorporate priority 2 and 3
condition related issues.
School Organisation Plan
30
2008/9 – 2012/13
(b)
Suitability Priorities
As indicated above, for 2008-10 the Authority approved Modernisation
Funding totalling £16.425 million to address key accommodation issues which
relate to both ‘suitability’ and ‘condition’ priorities. All of the projects prioritised
for this funding are being jointly funded with Devolved Formula Capital
contributions from schools, thus substantially increasing the total value of the
capital programme. Modernisation Fund priorities have focussed on  continuing with a programme to replace the ‘worst’ primary sector
schools in terms of
 condition and suitability;
 replacing life-expired temporary buildings which remain essential to
a given school;
 upgrading school kitchens to address Environmental Health Officer
notices to comply with new Gas Regulations;
 contributing to cost-effective schemes to remove surplus places;
 supporting Targeted Capital schemes, 80% funded by DCSF grant;
 ensuring all special schools have appropriate access facilities;
 addressing other high priority ‘suitability’ issues.
(c)
Sufficiency Priorities
There is a clear link between this School Organisation Plan and the
sufficiency element of the AMP. The demographic data in this Plan
demonstrates the need to consider various strategies to deal with the issue of
falling pupil rolls (initially in the primary sector) and that surplus places will
increase unless action is taken. A number of the Authority’s highest priorities
in terms of sufficiency have been addressed via the securing of Basic Need
funding from the DCSF, often supplemented by Section 106 contributions
from housing developers relating to planning agreements. When significant
sufficiency issues have been prioritised as requiring urgent attention in
schools which do not qualify for Basic Need funding, solutions have been
funded utilising NDS Modernisation funding.
The Authority has taken the view that funding streams should be ‘joined-up’ to
achieve cost effective long-term solutions to priority issues at any given
school. In this way the Authority has moved away from the ‘patch and mend’
approach of the early 1990s and is now planning for, and undertaking, major
refurbishment/modernisation projects and whole school replacements in the
primary sector. It is enabling the Authority to incorporate Priority 2 and 3
Condition related projects as part of larger modernisation schemes. When
undertaking refurbishment or new build projects full account is taken of the
‘Schools for the Future’ agenda to ensure that: improved ICT facilities are incorporated in acknowledgement of the
profound effect new technology is having on teaching and learning;
School Organisation Plan
31
2008/9 – 2012/13
 the design incorporates full access facilities for disabled students
and adults in accordance with the DDA requirements;
 facilities are incorporated to enable the school to be opened up to a
range of users;
 appropriate non-teaching as well as teaching accommodation is
incorporated;
 design solutions are adopted which minimise the impact on the
environment and reduce energy consumption.
Diocesan Priorities at VA Schools
The Diocesan Authorities are involved in separate discussions with the Local
Authority with regard to AMP priorities and the prioritisation of major schemes.
Recently, priority has been given to projects addressing key condition related
problems incorporating suitability issues wherever possible, reflecting the
same approach as that taken by the LA for community, controlled and
foundation schools. In addition to the separate meetings, the Dioceses are
represented on the AMP Advisory Group to contribute to and help steer AMP
policy developments.
Embedding the AMP Process at School Level
Since the first development of condition surveys for all schools, Head
Teachers and Governors have been encouraged to develop their own
priorities for building maintenance and improvements and, particularly for
minor works, to manage their own solutions. Advice has been offered by
Property Division surveyors and CAYA Development Officers. The growth in
devolved capital funding has assisted schools greatly in moving away from a
culture of bidding to the LA for minor improvement works to a position where
they understand their role as custodian of their premises.
The Authority has encouraged schools to become more responsible for
developing their own minor works priorities linked to the AMP. In response to
consultation with schools, the Authority transfers funding to schools directly as
it is received by the LA but there is a clear protocol to secure approval of
schemes to be undertaken to ensure that 







the project addresses an AMP priority;
the project is in accordance with the Devolved Capital Scheme;
the Authority’s guidance notes are followed;
if structural works are involved, the school has followed the correct
regulations and procedures;
professional advice has been obtained;
planning and building regulation approval have been obtained where
necessary;
the owners of the building are in agreement with the proposals (the
Area Surveyor for LA owned schools);
details are forwarded to the LA so that the AMP may be updated.
School Organisation Plan
32
2008/9 – 2012/13
For projects being undertaken by schools, the LA maintains an approval
procedure, linking the project to identified AMP priorities and ensuring that
any structural or key service-related issues have been properly assessed and
that the ‘solution’ offers value for money. This process offers schools the
option of saving allocations for up to three years or bringing forward future
allocations in order to undertake large scale projects which offer a long term
solution to a particular priority. The Authority requires contributions from
schools to jointly fund capital programme schemes which are approved to
meet jointly agreed AMP priorities. This is checked on an annual basis as
part of the consultation visit to each school. Increasingly, schools are being
encouraged to develop the links between capital investment and the raising of
standards. It is encouraging to note that schools are linking projects to issues
identified in OfSTED inspections, thus implicitly, if not explicitly,
acknowledging the link between improving buildings and the ‘raising
standards’ agenda.
School Organisation Plan
33
2008/9 – 2012/13
Conclusion
In looking at the provision of places, consideration must be given to the rural
nature of the County and the pressure this brings to maintain relatively small
schools to serve a wide geographical area. The challenge here is to ensure
that the community potential for this asset is utilised effectively. The Authority
has a duty to ensure that value for money is achieved, whilst seeking to
develop and nurture potential and enhancing successful schools across the
County. Whilst the statistics indicate that secondary schools are not under the
same pressure regarding surplus places currently, the pattern seen in the
primary sector will be repeated in secondary schools in due course. The
planning of school places takes place in the context of the policies on raising
standards and improving community involvement in education. It is essential
as part of this policy there is the best possible match between the number of
pupils and the places available. Sustaining this good match ensures that
resources are targeted effectively and efficiently to deliver quality education.
This Authority has developed strategies pertinent to ensuring that the issue of
surplus places is addressed, whilst improving and developing assets and
extending schools where there is genuine need. In publishing this School
Organisation Plan, the Authority is ensuring an on-going dialogue with
schools, governors and the wider community on how it will deliver education
in the 21st Century.
