44 PUBLIC QUESTIONS
No public questions were received.
45 COMMUNITY SAFETY UPDATE
The Hull East Communities Policing Inspector and representatives of Humberside Fire and Rescue Service attended the meeting to update the Committee on community safety issues in the East Area.
Members were informed that crime had risen slightly across the area. A website was available to members of the public at www.police.uk that contained Humberside Police crime data. This provided a useful tool and mapped crime statistics at a ward level.
A discussion took place around the appointment of Police Community Support Officers and Police Constables. Members were informed that the area would be assigned a number of new PCSO’s however the numbers were significantly less than anticipated. PC Parker was scheduled to join the Longhill area on 7 th January 2019 and PC Calvert was expected to join the Neighbourhood Policing Team on her return from maternity leave, within the next 12 months.
A further discussion took place around the Humber Talking initiative.
Members raised concerns with regard to the relocation of PCSO’s and the loss of local knowledge. Further concerns were raised with regard to Sutton Ward as this was covered by a different Inspector. Members were informed that the Inspector was scheduled to meet with the Chief Constable to discuss further issues around staffing and the boundaries.
Further discussion took place around the use of CCTV.
The Community Safety Supervisor and representatives of Humberside Fire and Rescue Service attended the meeting to update the Committee on fire and safety issues in the East

area.
Members raised concerns around ongoing issues in the Sutton area. In response, Members were informed that a meeting had been scheduled with data analysts to review the issues, including methods to secure wheelie bins.
Members were informed that educational visits had not been undertaken in schools for some time. During 2018 K9 (Fire Investigation Dogs) carried out intervention at Market Weighton School, in an attempt to engage with children on the severity of arson and to address issues with young offenders in the Market Weighton area. This proved successful in reducing arson. Operation Topaz held in the Halloween & Bonfire night period had included a number of visits to schools. The Local Policing Team had named contacts for all schools. Data produced by HFRS has identified that the lack of school education in primary schools, in relation to fire, over the last 10 years has seen an increase in children setting b) Humberside fires in their teenage years. Police

Living with Water – community engagement for water resilience
Briefing Paper of the of City Planning Manager on behalf of Corporate Director for Regeneration
1. Purpose of the Paper and Summary
Hull has the 2 nd highest number of properties at flood risk in the UK outside of London. 98% of the city is defined as at “high risk” of flooding. This equates to a 0.1% annual probability of flooding or greater. The risk will increase with climate change. This risk is from all sources; tidal, river, surface water, ground water or sewer. In some areas the risk will be predominantly tidal, in some river and some surface water/sewer depending on location. We also have flood defences along the Humber, River Hull and Holderness Drain which reduce the probability of flooding but can increase the consequence of flooding.
This paper aims to raise awareness with Councillors of the Living with Water partnership, give an update of flood schemes and initiatives in your areas and ask for your guidance on ideas for linking with your communities.
2. Background
Various authorities have a role in managing flood risk for all the different sources. These are; the Environment Agency for tidal and main river, Lead Local Flood Authority for surface water, ground water and smaller watercourses and the Water Companies for the sewer system. In Hull it is difficult to separate out the different flood sources as they are heavily integrated. For example ground water and surface water filling the sewers and watercourses unable to discharge to the estuary at high tide. The solution is to look at in a combined way so Hull City Council, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Yorkshire Water and the Environment Agency have formed the Living with Water partnership. https://livingwithwater.co.uk/holding

3. Local Update
Ings- Lambwath Stream Aquagreen, Bellfield Avenue. Completed 2017. Maybury school – Soak it Up project. Retrofitting sustainable drainage such as raingardens and planters. https://www.yorkshirewater.com/soakitup Atlanta Court property level protection completed 2018. Longhill and Bilton Grange - Ganstead Lane flood bund completed 2016 (ERYC) Sutton – Aquagreens Barbara Robson, Howdale Road, Kingfisher Close, completed 2016- 17. Gleneagles to be completed. Formed Sutton Flood Wardens.
4. Issues for Consideration
To manage and mitigate the risk the city needs to become resilient across all organisations and most importantly communities. We have a £200million investment plan for flood alleviation across the city in the current spending period up until 2021. This will reduce the probability of flooding but there remains a residual risk and people need to have their own personal level of resilience. At present, despite historic flood incidents, there is a lack of awareness of the risk and what people can do to help themselves. Only 4% of the properties at risk have signed up for a flood warning. https://flood-warning-information.service.gov.uk/warnings
Engagement on flood risk is not a unique issue for Hull. Nationally this is an issue for all authorities with a role in managing risk. To consult and engage communities takes time and resource and it is subjective and difficult to measure success.
To address some of the issues the Living with Water partnership held a water themed obstacle race and resilience fair in October 2018. Video of Hull-timate Challenge to be shown at committee. Due to the success of the event the plan is to run it on a bi-annual
Author: Status: Date: 30/01/2019 Page 2 of 3 Page 20 of 158 basis. There is also a plan of events and work with children through schools and educational programmes such as the Soak it Up campaign.
We are keen for feedback from the committee for suggestions on ways or methods to engage with communities taking into account existing resources.

Briefing Paper to Ea st Area Committee February 2019
Annual Education Report 2018
1. Purpose of the Paper and Summary
1.1 It has been agreed that there will be an annual report setting out the citywide results of the summer examinations and statutory assessments, along with other education related matters. All school level information included in this report is publicly available.
1.2 The report is presented in a series of documents, attached as appendices to this summary report. The appendices included are as follows:
• Appendix 1 – School status & MATs • Appendix 2 - Schools, Pupils and their Characteristics • Appendix 3 – Early Years – 2yr old entitlement • Appendix 4 - School Place Planning • Appendix 5 - Educational Achievement 2018 • Appendix 6 - Hull Ambitions • Appendix 7 – SEND • Appendix 8 – Hull Music Service
2. Background Information
2.1 This report is presented at a time of considerable change in the education landscape, both nationally and locally. These changes involve school structure, education funding, assessments at primary and secondary schools, curriculum content, examination style, national measures and wider policy directions.
2.2 The national context is still unclear in some areas; however the basic direction of travel is quite clear. The government wants all schools to become academies, and for all students to be following a basic academic curriculum, modelled on the English Baccalaureate (EBacc). Those schools that are underperforming or fail to reach one of the thresholds in terms of outcomes or inspections will be required to convert. Others can choose to do so. The expectation is that schools will be part of a multi-academy trust (MAT); this is a group of academies that join under a shared leadership.
2.3 The position of Regional Schools Commissioner (RSC) has been set up to promote and deliver on this agenda. In addition, the RSC has to monitor standards across all schools and has the power to intervene in both academies and maintained schools.
Page 23 of 158
Academisation ( Appendix 1 )
2.4 Hull is an unusual authority in the proportion of academies in the city. Many LAs still have the large majority of primary schools, special schools and PRUs as maintained, even if secondary schools have been keener to convert.
2.5 The percentage of academies/Free Schools in Hull across all phases is summarised below (information correct as of 1st January 2019):
• Primary - 93% converted (66 of 71) • Secondary - 100% converted (12 of 12) • Special – 66% converted (4 of 6) • Pupil Referral Units – 100% converted (6 of 6)
2.6 Appendix 1 provides a summary of the schools/academies in the City, including which MATs they are part of (if applicable), and includes the latest OfSTED judgements. As a city, it is our ambition that all children attend schools that are good or better.
2.7 It should be noted that when a school becomes an academy, its Ofsted Grading ‘closes’ with the status of the school changing to become an academy. Once an academy, it is often not inspected for 2 to 3 years. This can mean that a school that might have changed status as a ’requires improvement’ (RI) or ‘inadequate’ school, could have to wait a long time even after it has transformed before it can reach ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’.
2.8 According to the national profile of Ofsted Categories, our PRUs and Special Schools have a higher percentage of children in Good or better academies than the national picture. Our primary academies are in line with the national profile, and our secondary phase is now just below, with 2 secondary academies having recently lost their ‘Outstanding’ grading.
Education Role of the LA
2.9 Despite the very high rate of academisation, education is still a key and very important function of the Council. In addition to any remaining standards function, the other education duties must still be undertaken in a quality way in order that children and young people have the best opportunities. In summary, the functions that the authority still has to carry out are set our below:
• School place planning across all sectors – this includes planning numbers across all sectors from nursery and pre-school through the compulsory school ages. The LA supports the commissioning but not the delivery of new places. • School transport – the policy, planning and funding of home to school transport. This includes mainstream students who qualify due to distance and SEND students whose EHCP include transport provision. • SEND assessment and provision – this includes the work of the statutory assessment team, the Educational Psychology Service, the SEN support services, commissioning of places and other functions from the High Needs Block. Includes commissioning the parents advice service (currently run by KIDS). • Education of Looked after Children – including the Virtual School and use of Pupil Premium plus. • Attendance – the Education Welfare Team supports the statutory responsibilities relating to school attendance and prosecutions; they also fulfil duties relating to elective home education, children missing education and child employment. • Alternative Provision – this includes the commissioning of places in PRUs, permanent and fixed term exclusions, the whole area of the ‘Fair Access Protocol’, part-time placements and anything else that means a child is not in full time schooling.
Page 24 of 158
• Safeguarding – education related work including Ofsted questions, Ofsted complaints, unregulated settings, PREVENT, and similar. • Admissions – schools are required to work through the co-ordinated admission arrangements. Whilst academies are their own admissions authorities and set their own admissions criteria the LA runs all of the administration. The LA also has oversight for in-year admissions and appeals. • Early Years including: current statutory work on sufficiency of places to enable delivery of 2, 3 & 4 year old early education, supporting quality improvement, delivery of training, providing information and advice to parents around childcare, moderating early years foundation stage assessments and nursery schools. • Governors – support and training for governing bodies/boards, as well as a traded service for clerking. • Leadership – throughout 2017-18 education leadership team have spent a lot of time engaging not just with headteachers, governors, and across the wider council, but also with the RSC, Ofsted and the components of the DfE. The decision has been made to re-establish the Assistant Director post for Learning and Skills, to demonstrate the city councils commitment to the importance of education. • Plus a range of other statutory duties that remain with the council.
2.10 In summary, Education is always going to be one of the most important services that happen within the city, and much of the content of this report is based on these statutory responsibilities. Whatever happens in structural terms as far as academies are concerned, the LA will still have a key leadership role in driving up aspiration and supporting schools to maximise the achievement of children and young people. The widespread economic success being delivered in and around the city needs well educated young people for the future workforce.
Funding
2.11 Although Academies are not funded directly, the LA still has oversight for the Dedicated Schools Grant. The Dedicated Schools Grant is a grant provided to LAs by the DfE. It consists of 4 blocks:
• The Schools Block - provides direct funding to schools, • The Central Schools Services block (CSSB) - funds statutory duties of the LA, • The High Needs block – mostly SEND funding; and • The Early Years block.
2.12 The National Funding Formula for Schools and High Needs was introduced in 2018-2019, therefore 2019-2020 will be its second year in operation. Presentations were held by the LA for all schools in November 2017 to explain the National Funding Formula and its implications. In January 2018 the LA, following recommendation by the Schools Forum, decided to set a funding formula that mirrors the National Funding Formula as closely as possible. Under the NFF Hull is a ‘gaining’ authority for both Schools overall and High Needs - but not to the extent that would be the case if the formula only considered current needs. All schools will gain between 1% and 3% per year on a per pupil basis. Gains in the High Needs are capped at 3% per year.
2.13 However, the real terms cost pressures remain very substantial, including both increasing costs and increasing High Needs demographic pressures. There is a deficit on the High Needs block carried forward from 2017-2018 and the current funding is not sufficient to cover projected High Needs spend. Therefore the ongoing High Needs Review is looking at options to address this projected deficit - it is not possible to go into detail at this stage, however any potential options requiring formal decisions will be notified to the Commission at the appropriate time.
Page 25 of 158
2.14 Under the National Funding Formula Hull receives 3 and 4 year old funding at a rate of £4.30 per hour (which is low compared to other LAs) – but must – under national regulations allocate a minimum £4 per hour rate to schools and providers. This means that the budget needs to be very tightly managed – with limited scope for flexibility as the authority is only allowed to retain 5% to cover central costs including staffing.
2.15 As alluded to elsewhere in this Report, NFF does not address Alternative Provision costs and whether they are an LA or school responsibility. More generally, the increasing separation of Schools and High Needs funding streams – raises the possibility of increased tension between LAs and academies about where responsibility for resourcing both the additional and high needs of pupils actually lies. This in turn creates greater challenges in promoting higher levels of inclusion .

2.16 In addition to the changing status of schools and their funding, Appendix 2 contains a snapshot of the profile of the city’s school population in terms of general numbers, numbers by age, Free School Meal eligibility, ethic group, first language, special educational need profile, proportions of children being ‘exported’ to be educated out of the city, and those ‘imported’ who live out of the city but are coming into Hull to be educated.
2.17 This is a new and very interesting document that captures the changes that are taking place across the city in terms of the profile of the children in our schools.
Early Years – Appendix 3
2.18 Appendix 3 gives a more detailed update on Statutory Free Early Education Entitlement for Two Year Olds and implementation of the 30 hours Early Education Entitlement for working parents.
2.19 This report sets out the continuing progress on delivering the two year old entitlement and the implementation of the 30 hours Early Education Entitlement for working parents introduced from September 2017. It can be seen that Hull compares to regional and statistical neighbours but is below the national target. There is information about the progress of children in receipt of the two year old entitlement and their outcomes in the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP).
2.20 Appendix 3 also provides attainment data demonstrating the educational benefits of children accessing nursery places earlier.
Admissions Primary and Secondary
2.21 The LA runs the co-ordinated admissions process for primary and secondary schools in the city. This ensures that there are common dates by which applications have to be received and common dates when parents are notified of their allocation. It also ensures that parents receive only one offer of a school place.
2.22 The relevant admission authority is responsible for determining the oversubscription criteria which come into effect if there are more applicants than places in a particular school. As academies are their own admissions authorities, we now have many organisations responsible for determining the criteria. In reality, all must follow the Admissions Code of Practice so the allowable criteria are reasonably clear. It is the responsibility of the LA to ensure that all schools, whether maintained or academies, are abiding by the Code of Practice. The admissions authority is also responsible for ranking the applications in line with their published criteria so that all applications are considered fairly and transparently. As parents are requested to give three preferences of school the LA is responsible for ensuring that the parents receive only one offer of a school place. The offer letter comes from the LA so it is often assumed that the decision on who is offered a place is made by the LA. Only the maintained community schools have to follow the LA criteria.
Page 26 of 158
2.23 Each school should have their admission arrangements on their own school website by March each year so that parents can see how many places are available and how places are offered. The general arrangements for admissions across the city are clearly set out on the LA website as schools are required to send a copy of their admission arrangements to the authority.
2.24 Some parents are still completing paper application forms but 79% of secondary applications and 73% of primary applications were made using the online service.
2.25 During the year the admissions team processed around 3,550 applications for in year transfers. These were made up of parents who wanted to move their children from one Hull school to another, and parents who had moved into the city from overseas or other counties and parents who were moving out of the city into other authority areas.
2.26 At normal round admissions a shortage in available school places meant that there were concerns about how the authority was going to meet its statutory obligation in allocating a secondary school place to every pupil. For September 2018, the Local Authority were 251 secondary school places short. Consultations with academies took place throughout 2017-18 asking academies to take pupils over their PAN (published admission number) and with the co-operation academies agreeing to take pupils over PAN, secondary places were found for every child.
2.27 There was also an impact on less popular schools who agreed to take in additional pupils only to find that they lost many of them when other schools then increased their intake numbers. For in year applications it meant that families could not always be allocated the same primary or secondary school for their children especially in the west of the city. The admissions team saw an increase in the number of families who had to make applications for more than three preferences of school due to no available places in their immediate area. An increase in applications being taken to the fair access panel for an allocation of a school place was seen as a result.
2.28 In 2018 2785 out of 2954 pupils (94.2%) received places at one of their 1 st three preferenced secondary schools. At primary level 3,155 out of 3,198 pupils (98.6%) received places at one of their 1st three preferenced schools.
School Place Planning – Appendix 4
2.29 In the new landscape of almost complete academisation, the LA retains the responsibility for ensuring a sufficient supply of school places, whilst at the same time no longer being the deliverer of places.
2.30 Place planning takes place at several different levels. For the early years, there is a requirement that the LA produces a sufficiency audit to ensure there is an appropriate supply of child care places in the right parts of the city. This document is available on the LA website. The significant challenge facing this sector, on top of the funding changes mentioned in the background section, is the implementation of the 30 hour offer for working parents. The early years team, private and voluntary nurseries, and schools are working out the impact this may have on the current pattern of take up and what changes need to be made.
2.31 For the school sector, there has been significant work undertaken to re-establish a firm place planning framework. It is intended to use this framework to inform discussions with Academies, remaining maintained schools and the DfE regarding future place planning needs across the city.
2.32 In the primary phase the key pressure is in the Kingswood Park area. The recent enlargement of Kingswood Park School along with enlargement of Broadacre Primary School should give sufficient capacity for the next period of time. However that area will need to be kept under review in terms of
Page 27 of 158
how quickly houses are being built and the number of families that are moving in rather than future families. In the coming year, additional accommodation will be required at Newington Primary School.
2.33 At secondary level the overall pupil numbers are rising. It can be seen from the numbers in the primary schools that the Y7 cohort will continue to grow until 2023. Combined with the improving reputation of academies that is reducing the outflow of pupils to the East Riding this is creating substantial pressures in the system, particularly in the west of the city. In September 2018, academies took 251 pupils over their PAN (Published Admissions Number). In September 2019, there will be a need for that 251, along with an additional 90 Year 7 places, almost exclusively in the west of the city.
2.34 The LA Education Team and Major Projects Team have been with some secondary academies to extend their provision, particularly in the West of the City. Details can be found in Appendix 4.
2.35 In addition to mainstream places, there is also a pressure on Special School places, with all of our Special Schools being oversubscribed for September 2018. Some modifications were made in the summer of 2018 in our special schools to increase capacity, and a Free School Bid has been submitted to have a new Special School for Severe Learning Difficulties. Details are in Appendix 4.
2.36 Appendix 4 summarises some of the actions that are currently being undertaken to ensure sufficient provision of school places
Educational Achievement 2018 – Appendix 5
2.37 This report gives information on the outcome data for children in the city schools from the Early Years Foundation Stage up to GCSE level. At some levels the data is still provisional and where further releases are still to come the figures in this report may change, although experience suggests this will not be a significant change.
2.38 In Early Years Foundation Stage, the percentage of children achieving a Good Level of Development (GLD) although showing a slight increase on 2017 remains lower than both statistical neighbour and national averages. Although there was a slight improvement in outcomes, Hull Early Years remains in the bottom quartile nationally, as other Local Authorities are improving more quickly, so we are not closing the gap.
2.39 It should be noted that significant changes were introduced in 2016 at Key Stages 1 and 2. Key Stage 4 is still undergoing significant change and therefore year on year comparisons against raw numbers are difficult. That said, comparing ourselves with statistical neighbours and national data can still give us good insight as to where our strengths and weaknesses are. The key measures tend to relate to Attainment and Progress. Attainment is the headline standard that is achieved. Progress is the distance travelled between starting point and finishing point. The outcomes in KS1 mirror those of Early Years with small, single point, increases in overall attainment across English and Maths, which brings us in line with regional and statistical neighbours, but still in the bottom quartile nationally.
2.40 Key Stage 2 in the primary phase is a particular strength for the city, with attainment being in line with regional, national and statistical neighbours, which places Key Stage 2 in the third quartile. In terms of Progress, the scores look very positive and far exceed regional scores, but the national data is not yet available. In Key Stage 4, attainment has remained the same, whilst nationally and regionally there has been a slight drop, but KS4 still remains in the bottom quartile. In terms of Progress, this is the second year of decline, but KS4 Progress still remains in the third quartile. For KS4 Basics (English and Maths) the city has improved more than its neighbours, the region or the national measure, but despite this, the overall outcomes are still too low and remain in the bottom quartile.

Hull Ambition – Appendix 6
2.41 Members may recall the Education Ambition document that set out in a clear and straightforward way the 2 key ambitions for education in the city.
2.42 Firstly, all children and young people should be able to learn and develop in provision that has been judged to be ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’.
2.43 Secondly, in the key indicators of achievement and attendance in Hull, we will close the gap to national and then aim to exceed national figures.
2.44 The whole document is not reproduced in the appendix as that has not changed, but the data summary pages have been included.
SEND - Appendix 7
2.45 In October 2017 there was a full LA SEND Ofsted and CQC inspection across Education, Health and Care.
2.46 The outcome of this inspection has resulted in the LA, Hull NHS CCG and other partners having to produce an improvement plan to address the issues highlighted in the inspection.
2.47 Following a stakeholder event in January 18, nine priorities for improvement were established, and in March 18 an interim SEND leader was appointed to project manage these nine workstreams and develop a SEND strategy for the city. The Commission has been receiving regular updates on the workings of the individual workstreams.
2.48 From an education perspective, there are concerns about the increasing number of SEND children who are spending time out of school due to Fixed Term Exclusions (FTE), Permanent Exclusions (PX) or the decision of the parents to Electively Home Educate (EHE) their children, which was raised in the SEND Inspection in Oct 2017.
2.49 Since the Inspection, it has now become clear that these issues are not unique to Hull as there is a national increase in the numbers of children choosing to become electively home educated and a national concern about the number of SEND children in particular who are being excluded from schools.
Alternative Provision (AP), Exclusions, Fair Access (FAP)
2.50 In Hull there are four Secondary Pupil Referral Units (PRU’S) - Rise, Aspire, Ashwell and The Boulevard Centre, one Primary PRU, (Whitehouse) and one Medical PRU (The Sullivan Centre). Good alternative provision is that which appropriately meets the needs of pupils and enables them to achieve good educational attainment on a par with their mainstream peers. All pupils must receive full-time provision in total, whether in one setting or more, unless a pupil’s medical condition makes full provision inappropriate.
2.51 LAs are responsible for arranging suitable full-time education for permanently excluded pupils (no later than the 6th day of exclusion), and for other pupils who, because of illness or other reasons, would not receive suitable education without such provision. The core purpose of an AP/PRU setting is to educate permanently excluded pupils; whilst ensuring their health and wellbeing needs are met.
Page 29 of 158
Robust commissioning arrangements have been put in place to monitor attendance, achievement and progress of all pupils placed by the LA, thus ensuring the parity of outcomes. Pupils should not remain in an AP/PRU setting for longer than is necessary, however it is widely accepted that for some pupils, the setting will remain the most appropriate provision. The numbers in PRUs and AP are high in Hull compared to our statistical neighbours. In Hull there is a rise in pupils presenting complex health, social and behavioural needs. Secondary schools are struggling to manage this behaviour without additional funding/resources.
2.52 In 2018 the Fair Access Protocol was revised to strengthen partnership arrangements with secondary schools. Secondary heads now attend the monthly Fair Access meeting and all play an active part thus reducing the time children are without a school place. There are clear processes evidencing that interventions have been attempted before a child is moved to different provision, with the aim of minimising moves which can further disrupt their education.
2.53 The number of permanent exclusions has reduced in Hull. From September 2017 – July 2018, 43 secondary pupils were excluded compared to 50 in 2016/17. There is now a greater emphasis on early intervention to identify the underlying causes of behaviour with a view to providing support promptly to avoid escalation.
2.54 There continues to be an increase in the number of children home educated however this is in line with national trends. In 2017/18, 250 new cases were reported compared to 185 in 2016/17.
2.55 Information exchange between the LA and schools has improved with the introduction of a new management information system thus allowing for the accurate and timely collection of pupil data.
2.56 There is a wealth of school level information which can be found on individual school websites. The website will also contain copies of the key policies that the school will be following.
The Virtual School for Looked After Children
2.57 The Virtual School is the school that has oversight and responsibility for the educational progress and well-being of all ‘Looked after Children’ (LAC) across the city, and from 2018 is now also responsible for the progress of adopted children.
2.58 The Virtual School monitors the educational provision and progress of all looked after children, supports and advises schools, provides training, hold the Pupil Premium Plus funding and commissions additional support such as Education Psychology Assessments and individual tutoring.
2.59 There were 943 children between 0-18 years who were in care at some point last year, and Hull’s rate of looked after children is twice the national rate and also above our statistical neighbours. 584 of these children are school age (age 4 -16)
2.60 The numbers have been increasing steadily over the past 5 years and last year over half of our LAC also had some sort of Special Educational Need.
2.61 86 % of our Primary LAC are in Good or Outstanding Schools
2.62 66 % of our Secondary LAC are in Good or Outstanding Schools. This is an improving picture.
2.63 From Early Years and in KS1, our LAC children do less well than LAC children nationally, but by KS2, our LAC children do better than LAC nationally, and in 2017 our KS4 LAC did better than LAC nationally, but we do not have 2018 national figures yet.
2.64 The area of concern is that we are not ‘closing the gap’ between looked after and not looked after children.
Page 30 of 158
2.65 In 2017-18, LAC attendance at 95.44% was better than city-wide attendance at 95%.
2.66 Full details of the work of the Virtual School is reported in its own Annual Report which will be reported to the Commission.
Music Service – Appendix 8
2.67 Appendix 8 offers a full breakdown of the numbers of children across the city engaged directly with the Music Service
2.68 James Dickinson was appointed as Head of Hull Music Service in October 2018. James is currently Chair of The National Association for Music Education – Music Mark, having previously been Head of Hertfordshire Music Service.
2.69 With new leadership in place, all aspects of service provision are being looked at. A proactive dialogue with schools, families, young people, partners and communities has begun to help shape its future direction. It is anticipated that the current traded offer to schools will be reviewed and refreshed to ensure it takes account of schools’ feedback. Partnership and collaboration are key building blocks to improve outcomes for children and young people and thereby also securing continuity of income to futureproof the service.
3. Next steps
3.1 This report with the key data has been produced for the Scrutiny Commission. The report will be made available to each of the Area Committees so that they can see the issues pertinent to their particular part of the city. It is intended to be a helpful reference document on a range of education issues. All information contained is in the public domain. School level data is generally available on the DfE website via the School Performance tables.
4. Recommendations
4.1 This report has been produced at the request of Members, and there are therefore no associated recommendations.

Appendix 2
Schools, Pupils and their Characteristics 2018 DfE publication 28th June 2018, based on the January 2018 School Census
Purpose of the Paper
To set the profile of the city’s school population against a backdrop of the broader national demographic. Where appropriate, this paper draws on additional comparative information at both a regional and statistical neighbour 1 level. The inclusion of data relating to the surrounding local authority (East Riding of Yorkshire) is included for the stark contrast that it often provides.
Background
The Department for Education’s (DfE) school census captures a rich source of pupil and school level data at three points during the academic year. Each year, the content of the January or spring term census underpins a comprehensive DfE statistical first release – effectively pushing local authority and national level school and pupil characteristics into the public domain.
England Headlines
• There are 66, 000 more pupils in the school system than in January 2017 o The majority of this increase is seen in secondary schools
• The proportion of pupils eligible for and claiming a free school meal continues to drop o principally due to decreases in the number of benefit claimants
• The proportion of infant pupils in large classes has fallen for the third year
• The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic origins has been steadily rising since 2006.
1 Every local authority in the country has been assigned ten ‘statistical neighbours’ – local authorities with similar characteristics. Often averages of values across statistical neighbours or values relating to a closest neighbour are useful for benchmarking and comparative purposes.
The city’s statistical neighbours are: Blackpool, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough , North East Lincolnshire, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Salford, Southampton, South Tyneside and Stoke-on-Trent . (Those in bold are deemed to be the city’s closest neighbours).

City Detail
The city’s school estate
Figure 1. The city’s school estate (numbers of establishments). 2 At January 2018, there were exactly 100 educational establishments in the city. Almost three quarters of establishments are primary schools – 71 in total, with 13 secondary schools, 6 special schools, 6 pupil referral units, 4 independent schools and 1 maintained nursery school.
Figure 1 , to the left, visualises this notional school estate.
Pupil numbers
• 2018 City headline – the school population continues to increase, predominantly in the secondary phase.
A breakdown of pupil numbers in the city, by type of school, for the last four years is provided at Table 1, below.
It is important to understand that the numbers reflect pupils attending establishments in the city and do not necessarily reflect the geographical residence of pupils. It could be the case, for example, that special schools and independent schools in the city attract a disproportionate number of pupils from outside of the city due to the nature of the provision offered. This notional ‘cross border’ movement of pupils is addressed later in this paper.
Table 1. City school population January 2015 – January 2018 (numbers of pupils).
Locally, between January 2017 and January 2018, numbers increased from 40 956 to 41 843 – a total of 887 pupils.
Secondary schools accounted for the largest increase in numbers – an increase of 550 pupils between January 2017 and January 2018.
2 Throughout this report data is expressed as a percentage of the school population. It might be helpful to consider that 1% of the primary population in the city equates to around 259 pupils; 1% of the secondary school population equates to around 137 pupils.
Author: Jon Ashbridge, [email protected] , 01482616038 Date: 10 th September 2018 2 Page 36 of 158
In general terms the majority of the school population is split two thirds to one third across the primary (61.8%) and secondary (32.8%) phases of learning. Together, the primary and secondary phases of mainstream, maintained learning account for around 95% of the city’s school community. The remaining pupils are distributed across:
• Independent schools – 2.7% • Special schools – 1.5% • Pupil Referral Units – 0.9% • Maintained Nursery – 0.3%.
Figure 2. The distribution of pupils across the city’s school estate (percentage of pupils).
Figure 2 , to the left visualises the distribution of the city’s school community across the different types of learning provision – expressed a as a percentage of the total city school population.
Free School Meal Eligibility
• 2018 City headline - following slight increases in 2017, 2018 sees reductions in eligibility against a national backdrop of sustained decline.
Table 2. Free school meal eligibility (percentage of pupils).
Until 2016, recent local decreases in the percentage of pupils eligible for a free school meal, in primary and secondary schools, have been greater than those seen nationally. In 2017, locally and regionally, there were slight increases in eligibility percentages – against a backdrop of continuing decline nationally. 2018 sees reductions across the board in eligibility for free school meals. Table 2 , left, provides summary data expressed as a percentage of pupils.
Ethnic Group
• 2018 City headline – sustained increases in the percentage of pupils from minority ethnic origins.
Author: Jon Ashbridge, [email protected] , 01482616038 Date: 10 th September 2018 3 Page 37 of 158
It is important to understand that minority ethnic pupils are quite simply those classified, by schools, as being of non – White British ethnic origin.
Over the last 11 years, local increases in the number of pupils from minority ethnic origins have been significant: • across primary schools – from 7% to 20% • across secondary schools – from 8% to 17%.
2018 percentages reflect a slight increase in the primary phase and an increase of 1% in the secondary phase on 2017.
Nationally, between 2017 and 2018, the percentage of pupils from minority ethnic origins increased by 1% across both phases of learning – primary and secondary. (Exactly the same as between 2016 and 2017).
Table 3 , below, presents summary comparative data. The broad (DfE) categories of White, Mixed, Asian, Black and Chinese mask a rich underlying dataset. The additional ‘sub-white’ categories of White British and Any Other White Background have been included intentionally to illustrate the disproportionate volume of pupils of Any Other White Background in the city – these discrete populations are normally masked by the broader White category.
Table 3. Pupils from minority ethnic origins in schools (percentages).
First Language
• 2018 City headline – less significant increases in the percentage of pupils who speak English as an additional language.
The incidence of pupils recorded as speaking English as an additional language – in other words pupils exposed to another language at home - has been steadily rising across both primary and secondary phases of learning over the last 11 years.
As is the case with the increasing percentage of pupils from minority ethnic origins, it is important to understand that these increases are seen to be representative of a higher incidence of births as opposed to the impact of immigration. In other words - pupils now in schools that were born to non- UK born women.
Author: Jon Ashbridge, [email protected] , 01482616038 Date: 10 th September 2018 4 Page 38 of 158
Additionally, it does not follow that a child or young person’s ethnic heritage correlates directly with his or her first or ‘home’ language (sometimes referred to as ‘mother tongue’). A pupil may identify him or herself as being of Chinese ethnic heritage, for example, but may speak English as a first language.
Table 4. Pupils with English as an additional language (all figures are percentages).
Table 4, to the left, presents summary comparative data across all phases of learning.
Locally and nationally, across both primary and secondary phase of learning – 2018 increases are less significant than those seen 2017.
Special Educational Needs (SEN)
2018 City headline – increases in the prevalence of special educational needs, principally in the SEN Support group.
There are two levels of special educational needs provision: • SEN Support • Education, Health and Care Plan. At both levels of provision, schools are required to identify and record a ‘primary need’ for each pupil.
Table 5. Special Educational Needs (all figures are percentages).
Between 2010 and 2017, nationally and locally, the percentage of pupils with SEN had been in decline – principally in the SEN Support group. 2018 sees increases in both local and national profiles. Table 5 , to the left, provides comparative data.
Of significance is the gap between the local and national prevalence of SEN Support pupils (and subsequently overall SEN) in the secondary phase in the city.
Figure 3. SEN pupils expressed as a percentage of the city’s school population.
Across the city’s school estate there are around 7 110 pupils with some level of special educational need – split by 1 270 pupils with an Education Health and Care Plan and 5 840 in receipt of SEN Support.
Author: Jon Ashbridge, [email protected] , 01482616038 Date: 10 th September 2018 5 Page 39 of 158
Overall between 2017 and 2018 the number of pupils in the city with special educational needs has increased by more than 300 – roughly 250 SEN Support/50 Plans. Figure 3, to the left, presents this data visually as a percentage of the overall school population.
Primary Need
It must be noted that the allocation of a primary need to a child or young person with special educational needs, particularly those with an Education, Health and Care Plan, can mask a complexity of needs.
For pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plan , the most common primary need(s) is (are): • Locally – Autistic Spectrum Disorder (23.6%) and Severe Learning Difficulty (23.5%) o (Nationally – Autistic Spectrum Disorder 28.2%).
For pupils in receipt of SEN Support , the most common primary need is: • Locally – Speech, Language and Communication Needs 28.6% o (Nationally – Moderate Learning Difficultly 24.0%).
Figure 4. Primary need, by SEN Support and Education, Health and Care Plan (numbers).
Figure 4 , left, profiles this discrete group of pupils by primary need and level of special educational needs provision.
If we consider pupils with Autistic Spectrum Disorder as an indentified primary need, for example, there are almost 600 pupils – half of these are in receipt of SEN Support and half have an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
Classes as Taught by Key Stage Pupils
• 2018 City headline – a total of 23 Key Stage 1 or ‘infant’ classes of 30 or more pupils.
There is a legal limit of 30 pupils per class through Key Stage 1 in the primary phase. Part of the school census involves a ‘snapshot’ being taken by individual schools during a single selected taught period on the day of the census in January each year.
• In 2017 the city had 23 infant classes in excess of the legal limit • In 2018 the city had 16 classes in excess of the legal limit.
Table 6, below, provides summary data expressed as the average number of pupils in a class taught by one teacher across each of Key Stage 1 ( Year Groups 1 and 2 in primary schools ) and Key Stage 2 ( Year Groups 3 to 6 in primary schools ).
Table 6. Average class sizes across KS1 and KS2 (expressed as the average number of pupils per teacher).
Author: Jon Ashbridge, [email protected] , 01482616038 Date: 10 th September 2018 6 Page 40 of 158
The 2018 city average class size at KS1 reflects a 0.4 increase on 2017. Nationally the average has dropped by 0.1 – from 27.4 to 27.3.
At KS2, the 2018 city average represents a 0.1 decrease on 2017 – against a 0.1 increase nationally.
Cross Border Movement – await DfE publication of 2018 data.
• 2017 City headline – the net effect of cross border movement in the city is a loss of 4.4% of the resident school population (4.9% in 2016).
Cross border movement refers to the fact that a pupil may be geographically resident in one local authority area but attend educational provision in other local authority’s domain.
This section of the report examines the city’s resident school age population and the location of the provision that they attend. The notional ‘import’ and ‘export’ of pupils is considered, by type of provision – primary, secondary and special, before being summarily presented by national curriculum year group across all provision. Two comparator local authorities are used to add some value to the city’s cross border movement at summary year group level:
• East Riding of Yorkshire - enveloping the city • Middlesbrough - one of the city’s closest statistical neighbours.
Primary Phase There were a total of 23 636 primary age pupils resident in the city at January 2017 • 22 657 attended provision in the city – 95.9% • 979 attended provision outside of the city – 4.1% • Conversely, there were 287 pupils attending primary schools in the city that were resident outside of the city – 1.3% • The net effect across the primary phase was an ‘export’ of 3% of the population (692 pupils) o the primary school population in the city was 22 944.
Secondary Phase There were a total of 13 313 secondary age pupils resident in the city at January 2017 • 11 843 attended provision in the city – 89% • 1 470 attended provision outside of the city – 11% • Conversely, there were 555 pupils attending secondary schools in the city that were resident outside of the city – 4.5% • The net effect across the secondary phase was an ‘export’ of 7.4% of the population (915 pupils) o the secondary school population in the city was 12 398.
Special Schools 3
3 Almost 100% of special school pupils are in receipt of an Education, Health and Care Plan. The city’s acute provision for these pupils traditionally attracts a high number of pupils from neighbouring local authorities.
Author: Jon Ashbridge, [email protected] , 01482616038 Date: 10 th September 2018 7 Page 41 of 158
There were a total of 534 special school pupils resident in the city at January 2017 • 519 attended provision in the city – 97.2% • 15 attended provision outside of the city – 2.8% • Conversely, there were 57 pupils attending special schools in the city that were resident outside of the city – 9.9% • The net effect across special schools was an ‘import’ of 7.3% of special school pupils (42 pupils) o the special school population in the city was 576.

Appendix 3
Update on the Statutory Free Early Education Entitlement for Two Year Olds
1. Background
1.1 The universal 15 hour early education entitlement for three and four year olds has been in place since September 2010 and for the most disadvantaged two year olds since September 2013.
1.2 Children are eligible for the two year old entitlement if their families are in receipt of:
• Income Support • income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) • income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) • support through part 6 of the Immigration and Asylum Act • the guaranteed element of State Pension Credit • Child Tax Credit (but not Working Tax Credit) and have an annual income not over £16,190 • the Working Tax Credit 4-week run on (the payment you get when you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit) • Working Tax Credits and earn £16,190 a year or less
Or if they
• are Looked after by a local council • have a current Statement of Special Education Needs (SEN) or an Education Health and Care plan • get Disability Living Allowance • have left care under a special guardianship order, child arrangements order or adoption order.
Currently 131 providers are registered to deliver the entitlement (1 nursery school, 3 primary academies, 67 PVI settings and 59 childminders)
1.3 Only providers holding a ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ Ofsted rating are included on the authority preferred provider list.
1.4 Once allocated children retain the place until they transition into their universal three and four year old entitlement.
1.5 There has been a significant decrease in the number of eligible children; the latest list from DWP suggested 1657 children being eligible, the lowest number since September 2013. This would suggest an increase in the number of
Page 45 of 158
parents accessing work or training or changes to the benefit system impacting on parents’ eligibility to receive the above benefits.
1.6 The authority childcare sufficiency assessment continues to be used to identify available places in individual wards, and areas where there is a requirement to create additional capacity.
2. Current Position
2.1 The table below shows the number of new children who have accessed the entitlement each term and those who have chosen for whatever reason not to take up their place.
September - January – April – August 2.2 December March 2018 2018 2017 782 626 423 applications applications applications 689 successful 558 successful 377 successful Total no. of 2 Total no. of 2 Total no. of 2 year olds year olds year olds funded 1385 funded 1325 funded 1368
Take up 79% Take up 76% Take up 82%
2.3 Uptake remains high. The local authority attempt to contact all families who choose not to apply or being eligible decide not to take up the place. Whilst many wish to delay the child’s start for a term, a significant number of the details provided by the parents appear to be inaccurate and as a result cannot be contacted or followed up.
2.4 Children’s Centres and Health Visitors continue to support and encourage known families reluctant to access their entitlement to attend Stay and Play sessions in the first instance as an initial step to taking up the offer and are given the opportunity to gradually build up attendance at a nursery or childminder over a period of time.
2.5 Training for the practitioners continues to focus on early language and communication, mathematics, emotional well –being and early identification for children with or who may have SEND
3.7 The impact of training is evident in the monitoring of setting environments and increased and improved staff interactions with children.

3.9 EYFSP outcomes for those children who have previously been involved in the two year old entitlement programme have been compared with those children not involved in the programme as well as nationally. 1660 two year old entitlement children were identified, 48.7% of the 2018 cohort.
(please note this is LA and not published data)
3.10 The data shows that overall outcomes for children accessing the two year old entitlement programme improved each year until 2017, falling slightly in 2018. Outcomes remain below those of all children and non programme children both in terms of the percentage achieving a Good Level of Development and Average Total Point Score.
3.11 The gap between the number of two year old entitlement and non-two year old entitlement children achieving a Good Level of Development was 5.5 percentage points in 2017. This has increased to 9.1 percentage points in 2018.
3.12 Between 2014 and 2018 the Average Total Point Score and the percentage achieving a Good Level of Development for two year old entitlement programme children have improved at a greater rate than those for non entitlement children locally as well as for all pupils nationally.
3.13 Data for Pupil Groups:

3.14 The gender gap for two year old entitlement children achieving a Good level of Development is narrower than that of non entitlement children, whereas the gap between the outcomes for FSM and Non FSM two year old entitlement children (5.4 percentage points) is much narrower than that of non- entitlement children (11.5 percentage points)
Page 47 of 158
3.15 The gap between the outcomes for EAL and non EAL children involved in the two year old programme is significantly narrower than that of non -entitled children, both in terms of Good Level of Development and Average Total Points Score.
3. Strategic context
3.1 The two year old early education entitlement is a deliverable project within the ‘Ambitious Education for all children and young people in Hull 2015-18’ ‘document and The City Plan continuing to support employment in the Childcare sector.
3.2 Access to the entitlement has enabled children with additional and sometimes complex needs to be identified and supported at an earlier stage. Over the last year 61 2 year olds received additional funding to enable them to access mainstream provision.
4. Next steps
4.1 The Childcare Sufficiency Assessment will be used to map current applications and take up by ward to ensure potential gaps in provision are identified and adequate provision is available.
4.2 Continue to ensure targeted information is distributed to families known to meet the eligibility criteria to encourage participation and maximise take up.
4.3 Early Years to continue to work with Children’s Centres, Health Visitors and Early Help Teams to support early intervention and more targeted engagement of all eligible and reluctant families.
4.4 Monitor and evaluate the implementation and impact of practitioner training on day to day practice and children’s learning and development in order that future training is targeted to support and ensure high quality provision for children is maintained.
4.5 Use termly progress data submitted to the authority to monitor the progress of children and follow up where this suggests improvement may be required .
5. Extension of the Early Education Entitlement for working parents
5.1 From September 2018 the early education entitlement for eligible working parents of three and four year olds doubled to 30 hours a week for 38 weeks a year or the equivalent of 1140 hours over 50 weeks.
5.2 Parents are eligible if: • Both are working and/or • One parent in lone parent family is working (earning equivalent of 16 hours
Page 48 of 158
a week on National Minimum Wage including those receiving tax credits or Universal Credit) • One/ both parent/s is away on leave (parental, maternal etc.)
• One/ both parent/s on Statutory sickness • One parent is employed and the other parent has either substantial caring responsibilities/and or disability • One/both parents individually earn less than £100,000/year
6.2 The indicative number of children expected to be eligible and identified by the DfE in September 2016 was 1510.
6.3 Parents are required to register and check eligibility on the ‘Childcare Choices’ website and if eligible will receive an 11 digit code which has to be verified by the local authority before they are able to access the additional hours at a provider offering the extended hours. Providers are required to have written permission from parents prior to contacting the authority for validation.
6.4 Not all schools and providers are required to offer the additional hours and parents are able to access their entitlement across two different providers if that meets their needs. Currently 43 schools/academies and 103 nurseries and childminders are offering the 30 hours to parents.
6.5 Unlike the universal 15 hour entitlement, the extended hours can only be taken from the start of the term after the child turns three, there is no option to begin at any other point during the term and parents are required to recheck their eligibility on the ‘Childcare Choices’ website for the additional hours every three months.
6.6 The DfE have set specific date parameters by which children who fall out of eligibility during the term will cease to have access to the additional hours.
6.7 The table below shows the number of new children who have accessed the extended entitlement each term and those who have chosen for whatever reason not to take up their place.
September – January – March April – August 2018 December 2017 2018 1039 codes validated 1351 codes validated 1579 codes validated and 956 children and 1229 children and 1450 children accessed accessed accessed
Take up 63% Take up 81% Take up 96% (national 90%)
6. Next steps
6.1 Continue to validate codes for the extended hours to begin at the start of each
Page 49 of 158
term to maintain current uptake.
6.2 The Childcare Sufficiency Assessment to be updated termly to map current applications and take up by ward to ensure potential gaps in provision are identified and adequate provision is available for both the universal and extended entitlement.
6.3 Work with CAPITA to audit and check ongoing eligibility to the extended entitlement and provide updates to schools and settings.

APPENDIX 4
BASIC NEED/SUFFICIENCY UPDATE
At Cabinet on 26 th March 2018, members considered a report on the Schools Capital Programme 2018/20 which highlighted that Secondary Schools in Hull were forecast to see an increase in pupil numbers over the forthcoming years, with the issue being the most significant in the West of the City. The report also advised that there was an increase in demand for special school places during the same period and that school places were oversubscribed.
Cabinet Approval was given to:-
• Tender the necessary works to provide an additional 200 pupil places that are required in the West of the City by September 2018 and again for 2019 as identified and agreed by the Corporate Director of Children, Young People and Family Services in conjunction with the City Manager for Major Projects & Infrastructure - Cabinet minute 124(g) • Tender the necessary works to provide an additional 80 pupil places that are required within the SEN estate by September 2018 and 2019, as identified and agreed by the Corporate Director of Children, Young People and Family Services in conjunction with the City Manager for Major Projects & Infrastructure – Cabinet minute 124(h)
This briefing report provides an update position of how sufficiency of pupil places is progressing.
Primary Estate
Pupil place planning projections have highlighted that there is a requirement to undertake works at Newington Primary School in order to accommodate the increase in pupils over recent years which cannot be accommodated in the existing building and as the cohorts with increased pupil numbers work their way through the school. A report will be considered at Cabinet on 25 th February 2019 with approval to undertake the necessary works. A briefing of the local ward members has been provided.
Secondary Estate
In the summer of 2018, various meetings took place with the Head of Secondary Schools in order to ensure that there were enough places within the Secondary School estate for the number of pupils that required a place in September 2018. Many schools increased their Published Admission Numbers (PANs) in order to accommodate these children, however, advised that this was not sustainable moving forward.
Further discussions have taken place with the Heads to encourage them to take the same PANs this year which has been successful. More detailed discussions and work is being undertaken with the Heads of three West Hull Secondary Schools, which include the Boulevard Academy, Kelvin Hall Academy and St Mary’s College with a view to providing the much needed 200 pupil places in the West of the City for September 2019. There will be sufficient places created in order to accommodate these 200 pupils throughout their five year period at Secondary School.
Following further pupil place planning projection it was identified that an additional 30 secondary school pupil places at Malet Lambert Secondary School in the East of the City would be required for
Page 51 of 158
September 2019 in order to accommodate pupils from an additional form of entry (90 pupils instead of 60) that attend Gillshill Primary School moving into Year 7. Discussions have taken place with the Head of Malet Lambert and work is being undertaken to identify the works that are required to provide these 30 pupil places. A report will be considered at Cabinet on 25 th February 2019 with approval to undertake the necessary works.
Briefing of local ward members will take place once remodelling works have been confirmed and the number of pupil places that will be made available as result of the works.
Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Following the Cabinet Report approval in March 2018 where it was highlighted the increase need for additional pupil places in the SEN estate, regular meetings were held with the Heads of Tweendykes, Ganton, Frederick Holmes and Northcott Special Schools. As a result of working in partnership with the Heads, a number of remodelling works took place during the summer to provide additional places at Northcott, Tweendykes and Ganton Primary & Secondary schools. Works were also undertaken at Bricknell Primary School for the provision of an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) resource base which has been a success.
A draft SEN sufficiency Strategy is being developed and it is evident that the main priority area requiring immediate attention would be the increasing numbers of pupils with SLD. Council Officers are working closely with the Heads to look at further developing provision which includes a Free School Bid which was submitted in October 2018 for a 125 pupil place Special School for children with SLD. The council expect to hear whether the bid was successful early in 2019.
In addition to the SLD pressures, work is also being undertaken on creating a further two ASD primary resource bases (ideally one in the East and one in the West) and a secondary resource base. Expressions of Interests have been submitted by a number of primary and secondary schools and further discussions will take place with those schools that have been shortlisted early in 2019 with a view to progressing three for September 2019. Any necessary remodelling works to existing school space will be undertaken.
Briefing of local ward members will take place once decisions of which schools are to be progressed as ASD resource bases

2018 KEY STAGE DATA (Version 1.8, Friday 9 November 2018)
Introduction
Further updates to this paper will be made in line with the following expected publications: • Final Key Stage 2 - December 2018 o (date to be determined) • Final Key Stage 4 - January 2019 o (date to be determined)
Most of the measures in this paper are expressed as the percentage of pupils achieving a certain standard at a particular key stage, for example, a Good Level of Development in the Early Years Foundation Stage. Statistically, the correct way to express any increase or decrease at such a measure would be to refer to ‘percentage point’ increases or decreases. For ease, throughout this paper, the expression ‘point’ is used as opposed to percentage point.
The tables that appear throughout this paper document trends and emerging data at four levels: city; region; statistical neighbour (SNA) i, and England. The tables also provide:
• an indication of change between 2017 and 2018 • the city’s ‘rank’ position in th notional list of 151 local authorities in England • an indication of the quartile performance in 2018, and in some cases, preceding years o (Where red denotes quartile D and amber denotes quartile B/C performance).

2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Early Years Foundation Stage Profile Flat year on year profile, below all comparators, Quartile D and deteriorating rank positons. Significant challenges in narrowing gaps between local and national performance – particularly at the ‘achievement gap’.
Phonics In line with the regional average for the first time and closing the gap between local and national averages.
Key Stage 1 • Expected Standard – slight improvements and broadly in line with regional averages in all subjects, but city remains below England averages • Greater Depth – some local improvements but not sufficient to close gaps on national and, in some cases, regional averages
Overall – Reading is comparative strength in 2018, but the city remains in Quartile D across the board with ranks dropping in Writing and Mathematics.
Key Stage 2 • Expected Standard – above regional and England averages for the second year running at the combined measure. Individual subjects are above regional averages. Above England averages at Reading and Mathematics, but below in Writing and GPS • Higher Standard/Greater Depth – some significant improvement locally, moving the city to above regional averages and broadly in line with or above national at all subjects. City remains one point below national at the combined measure • Average Scaled Scores – slight improvements seen in all subjects, city remains in line with England at Reading; has moved to above England at Mathematics and in line at GPS. the city is above regional averages in all subjects • Progress – significant improvements at Reading and Mathematics. Above England and regional averages at all subjects
Overall – some significant improvements in the city’s ‘rank position’ at individual subject level – particularly at higher standard/ greater depth and average scaled scores.
Key Stage 4 • Attainment 8 – the city stood still between 2017 and 2018, against a backdrop of decline • English and Mathematics GCSE’s (The Basics) – between 2017 and 2018 despite narrowing the gap between city and England averages at ‘strong pass’, the city remains in Quartile D • English Baccalaureate – new Average Point Score measure introduced in 2018 sees the city above regional averages but below SNA and England – Quartile D OFFICIAL 2
Page 54 of 158 OFFICIAL
• Progress – the third year of decline at this measure for the city, risk of dropping to Quartile D in 2019. Early Years Foundation Stage Profile

Between 2017 and 2018 the city improved by 0.8 points – in line with the improvement seen nationally and slightly above that seen at the regional level. The city is lower than comparator averages and there is no change in the gap between local and national performance. Average Total Point Score Average Total Point Score 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 17/18 City 30.5 31.7 32.4 32.5 32.5 0.0 Region 32.9 33.6 33.9 34.1 34.3 0.2 Statistical Neighbour (Av.) 32.6 33.2 33.4 33.6 33.6 0.0 England 33.8 34.3 34.5 34.5 34.6 0.1 City Rank x x x 145 th 148 th -3 pl.
Against slight improvements at regional and national level, local results have not improved on 2017. The 2018 outcome for the city is lower than comparator averages and the gap between local and national averages has widened slightly.
Achievement Gap
The achievement gap is the percentage point gap in achievement between the mean score of the lowest 20% of achieving children and the median score of the whole cohort. It is important to note that ‘smaller is better’ for this measure. Achievement Gap 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 17/18 City 43.2 43.3 40.0 40.4 41.5 1.1 Region 37.5 35.0 33.7 33.4 33.5 0.1 Statistical Neighbour (Av.) 37.0 36.3 35.8 35.6 36.3 0.7 England 33.9 32.1 31.4 31.7 31.8 0.1 City Rank x x x 144 th 148 th -4 pl.
Between 2017 and 2018 the local gap has widened by 1.1 points. The gap for the city is wider than that seen across comparators in all years up to 2018.

i Note on Statistical Neighbours: Every local authority in the country has been assigned ten ‘statistical neighbours’ – local authorities with similar characteristics. Often averages of values across statistical neighbours or values relating to a closest neighbour are useful for benchmarking and comparative purposes. In the case of Hull, for example, it is often more fair, appropriate and useful to compare ourselves with statistical neighbours than with the Region or England. Of course, at the same time, we should neither negate nor ignore the latter measures. This sort of comparison allows us to answer the question: ‘how do similar local authorities perform? ‘Originally, in 1996, the underlying, complex methodology and naming of statistical neighbours was the domain of Ofsted. More recently it has crept into the domain of the DfE. There is no particular pattern to the refresh of the groupings – in other words refresh is neither annual nor once every three years. The city’s current statistical neighbours are: Blackpool, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough , North East Lincolnshire, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Salford,
OFFICIAL 9
Page 61 of 158 OFFICIAL
Southampton, South Tyneside, and Stoke on Trent (Those in bold are deemed to be the city’s closest neighbours – this proximity is referred to as the Euclidean distance). It should be noted that the city is not necessarily a neighbour to all of the above named local authorities – in other words – Hartlepool is one of our neighbours but this does not necessarily mean that the city is one of Hartlepool’s neighbours.

Appendix 7
SEND Summary 2017-18
In September 2014, the Children and Families Act 2014 came into force. Part 3 of the Act is entitled Children and Young People in England with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and places duties on local authorities and other services in relation to disabled children and young people and those with SEND. These are known as the SEND reforms.
Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) undertook a joint inspection in October 2017 of the effectiveness of the work of the City Council, NHS and other services in the Hull local area had undertaken to implement the SEND reforms set out within the Children and Families Act 2014. As a result of the findings of the inspection, a Written Statement of Action (SEND Improvement Plan) had to be submitted because of significant areas of weakness in practice. This was accepted as fit for purpose by Ofsted in June 2018 and is updated quarterly.
A SEND Accountability Forum (SAF) was established in March to oversee the implementation of the SEND Improvement Plan. There are nine workstreams that report into the SAF. These are listed below along with a summary of the major achievements in 2018.
1. Strategic leadership and governance of the SEND reforms in Hull.
• Established a Children’s Services Improvement Board and agreed a timetable of reporting to Cabinet, Lead Member, CST and CCG Board; • Established a SEND Accountability Forum (SAF); • Held a SEND stakeholder meeting (including parents) to determine priorities for improvement and developed the SEND Improvement Plan; • Developed Project Plans with performance measures to provide a robust planning, reporting and accountability framework for the work underway; • Additional resources of £300k identified by Hull City Council on a permanent basis.
2. Information and Engagement.
• A mixed methodology has been used to involve parents, carers, CYP in the development of services in the priority areas; Local Offer, Eligibility Criteria, Short Breaks, EHCP, SEN Sufficiency, Personal Budgets, Transition Protocol, Paediatric Reviews, and Transport; • Parents and carers are active members of a number of strategic groups and steering groups including the SAF Board; • Additional posts of SEND Engagement and Feedback Officer and Young Persons apprentice have been developed and recruited; • A Plan is being implemented to improve the Local Offer information website and increasing access to the information. There has been an increase in Local Offer site visits by 249%, 890 visits in September to 2,219 visits in October; • A social media marketing campaign has been developed and delivered.
3. Workforce Development.
• Developed a draft SEND training pathway in partnership with Teaching Schools;
Page 67 of 158
• Held an induction event for new SENCos in October 2018; • Held a SENCo conference in July 2018 with a theme of social, emotional and mental health needs; • Trained Health professionals in the process for early identification and notification of children with SEND aged 0 to 4 years; • Established and rated learning sets for the SEND Assessment and Review Team.
4. Early Identification and Notification.
• Recruited to the Designated Clinical Officer (DCO) post; • Notification system to LA in place and guidance developed and disseminated; • Children with low communication and high social interaction scores at ASQ3 referred to the Early Years Area SENCO’s. Home visits then take and a plan developed, including access to nursery provision where required (71 referals since April 2018).
5. Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plans, Pathways and Processes.
• A revised draft EHC plan pathway has been completed. The EHC request for assessment documentation and process has been revised; • A Personal Budget procedure and information has been produced; • A draft Quality Assurance framework has been developed. Audits of EHC plans issued in 2018/19 will be undertaken from January 2019 on a termly basis; • The backlog of reviews from the 2017/18 academic year has been addressed, and from 1 st September 2018 decisions will be communicated to families within four weeks; The target group for alignment of reviews has been identified and a half day multi-agency event planned for January 2019; • Capacity in the SEN team has been increased to improve the quality of the EHC plan assessment, planning and review process. A new Team Manager has been appointed and a review of job descriptions has been undertaken.
6. Vulnerable Groups in Education
• There is improved communication and partnership working with academies to share good practice, data and information regarding vulnerable children; • Established an ‘at risk’ protocol, for academies to contact the LA if any child is becoming ‘at risk’ of permanent exclusion. Developed an ‘Exclusion passport’ with schools and academies; • Undertaken a review of the EWO service roles and responsibilities to increase capacity to support EHE; • Reviewed and adopted a new Fair Access Protocol; • Appointed secondments for one day a week to develop an Attendance Strategy, a Transition Strategy and to lead on the use of the graduated response for behaviour and learning; • Established an Inclusion Strategy Working Group to develop a wider Inclusion Strategy; • Two new resource bases (ASD and SLD) opened in September 2018 and building work completed to increase capacity in 3 special schools. Free school bid for 125 place SLD School submitted.
7. Transition to Adulthood
Page 68 of 158
• Set up strategic and operational transition groups. The strategic group revised the Transition Protocol which was finalised at the end of July 2018. Transition champions have been established in all teams across the partners; • The operational group tracks the young people who may be likely to require adult services involvement to ensure that no one slips through the net; • Building on a work experience project ( Work Insight ), a coordinator has been appointed to engage with prospective employers and encourage them to offer supported internship placements to young people with SEND. 8. Transport
• Made it a requirement for drivers to attend mandatory safeguarding training and be issued with an ID badge which must be displayed. • Generated Medical Care Need Plans and an individual child risk assessment. • Introduced a Personal Transport Budget Pilot. • Obtained approval to recruit an Independent Travel Trainer. • Obtained approval to recruit a SEN Transport Coordinator.
9. Joint Commissioning:
(a) Autism
• Funding proposal agreed for a recurring increase in the base budget for Autism. A trajectory has been agreed with the provider to evidence a waiting list decrease by September 2020; • Wider stakeholder multi-agency Autism working group has been established.
(b) Speech and Language Therapy • Funding proposal agreed for short term non-recurrent funding to support the recovery of the waiting list to be 18 week compliant and remodel the service provision.
(c) Sensory Processing Disorder
• Developed a service specification for a specialist Sensory Processing Disorder: Assessment and Support Service; • Secured non-recurrent CCG funding to pilot the service for 18-month period.
(d) Personalisation / Personal Budgets
• The CCG has appointed a Personalisation lead who is working across health, social care and education for CYP, and health and social care for adults.

Appendix 8
Hull Music Service Putting Music at the Heart of Hull
In addition to the funding and support received from Hull City Council, including for the Albemarle Music Centre, Hull Music Service is the Lead Partner of Hull Music Education Hub. In this capacity it receives funding from Department for Education / Arts Council England (ACE). The current funding runs until March 2020. With this funding the Music Service is required to work with schools, partners and communities to deliver four core roles and three extension roles.
Core Roles:
1. Ensure that every child aged five to 18 has the opportunity to learn a musical instrument (other than voice) through whole-class ensemble teaching programmes for ideally a year (but for a minimum of a term) of weekly tuition on the same instrument. 2. Provide opportunities to play in ensembles and to perform from an early age 3. Ensure that clear progression routes are available and affordable to all young people. 4. Develop a singing strategy to ensure that every pupil is singing regularly and that choirs and other vocal ensembles are available in the area.
Extension Roles:
1. Offer Continuous Professional Development (CPD) to school staff, particularly in supporting schools to deliver music in the curriculum. 2. Provide an instrument loan service, with discounts or free provision for those on low incomes. 3. Provide access to large scale and/or high quality music experiences for pupils, working with professional musicians and/or venues. This may include undertaking work to publicise the opportunities available to schools, parents/carers and students.
Key headlines from the annual ACE data return (October 2018):
• 5364 children and young people across the city have regular weekly tuition provided by the Music Service (3013 Whole Class Ensemble Tuition (WCET) 2351 small group/individual lessons. • 435 play regularly in ensembles at The Albemarle Music Centre • The Music Service works regularly with 86 of the city’s schools in which there are 172 regular ensembles, including 54 delivered in partnership with the Music Service plus 22 ensembles delivered by the Music Service at The Albemarle Music Centre
When children and young people receiving small group/individual teaching (ie not whole class) were analysed using Hull City Council’s customer segmentation toolkit, the Music Service was able to demonstrate the following as evidence of its citywide impact:
Page 71 of 158
• In percentage terms out of the 2351pupils recorded, the Music Service reaches a large number of pupils in the most deprived areas of the city, specifically:
o Orchard Park (8.3%) o St Andrews and Docklands (6.7%) o Newington and Gipsyville (6.4%)
• 18.7% of Music Service teaching (excluding whole class) is in Segment C households - Young Families with Dependent Children in Public Rented Houses in Areas of High Deprivation • 14.8% of Music Service teaching (excluding whole class) is in Segment D households - Low Income Families in Public and Owner Occupied Housing on Traditional Council Estates • 44.2% of Music Service teaching (excluding whole class) falls within areas in the top 10% most deprived nationally
Whilst there is also significant commitment to the Music Service from more affluent parts of the city, the current impact that the Service has city wide is striking, and provides a firm foundation for future developments of its provision and priorities.

Page 73 of 158 3.3 Local Labour
3.3.1 The Development Agreement between Hull City Council and Compendium Living requires 50% HU1-HU9 and 80% HU1-HU19 for labour force on the site. We are awaiting the final quarter statistics from 2018. 3.3.2 Local labour levels for the second quarter for HU1 – HU19 was 60% due to mainly reduced numbers of local ground workers and scaffolders on site as works progress.
3.3.3 We are working with the developer through various ways to improve on the local labour outputs, the Building Homes in Hull summit held in November 2018 is one of the ways we have engaged with local contractors and this elicited a strong interest in our development activity.
3.3.4 Whilst there is no set agreement for local labour the current phase of demolition has 60% from a HU1-9 postcode.
3.4 New build development
3.4.1 The Leeway Site 2a ( Hammersmith/Finchley Close) 64 two, three and four bedroom houses for sale and 4 bungalows for affordable rent are now under construction on the site. Ten properties are completed and occupied and another 12 plots have been reserved.

Briefing to the East Area Committee Wards –
7th February 19 Sutton Longhill and Bilton Grange Ings
Waste and Open Spaces Quarterly Performance Update
Briefing of the City Streetscene Manager
1. Purpose of the Briefing Paper and Summary
1.1 To provide a quarterly performance report relating to waste collection, recycling performance, street cleansing and grounds maintenance in the East Area.
2. Introduction
2.1 This briefing is part of the ongoing performance reporting framework, providing quarterly performance information for Waste and Open Spaces.
3. Measures of Performance
3.1 The city wide number of missed collections for Dec 2018 was 714 out of 582,362 scheduled collections which equates to a 99.88% collection rate.
3.2 The following graph shows the number of reported missed collections since October 18 across North area broken down by Ward.
1 Page 81 of 158
3.3 The number of missed collections in East Area reported in Dec 18 was 62. This figure equates to 0.077% of scheduled collections missed.
3.4 The percentage of missed bins by ward is shown below:
Ings - 0.07% missed collections in this ward. Longhill and Bilton Grange - 0.11% missed collections in this ward. Sutton - 0.05% missed collections in this ward. The city wide ward figure is 0.12%.
3.5 Cleansing Performance Update – Levels of litter and graffiti are now monitored city-wide on a quarterly basis. This is in line with corporate performance indicators. The trend in relation to levels of litter and graffiti across the city is shown below.
2 Page 82 of 158
3.6 Current levels of litter citywide are ahead of the target of 6%. Keep Britain Tidy’s latest annual national local environmental quality survey results; show the national unacceptable levels of litter at 10%. The above graph is showing the standards for litter on hard surfaces.
3.7 The level of graffiti continues to be below the target figure of 4%.
3.8 Action was taken by Streetscene Operational Teams to address the failures found following the findings of the surveys.
3.9 The number of reported fly-tipping incidents in the East Area averaged approximately 47 per month between April 18 and Oct 18. A comparison with city-wide reports is outlined below.

4 Summary and Next Steps
4.1 Key operational issues will be summarised in future reports.
4.2 The waste collection service continue to monitor trends in reported missed collections, with the emphasis on reducing the number of repeat and missed assisted collections to improve performance. Improving the quality of materials collected in the blue bin recycling scheme is also a key priority.
4.3 Additional resources have been allocated to dealing with flytipping which has cleared all outstanding actions. This has also lead to a quicker response time and general reduction in the number of reported fly tips.

Briefing Paper to the East Area Committee Wards: Sutton, Ings, Longhill & Bilton Grange 7th February 2019
Briefing Paper East Area Housing Performance for the period up to the end of November 2018
Briefing Paper of the City Neighbourhoods and Housing Manager
1. Purpose of the Paper and Summary
To brief the East Area Committee on the performance of the East Area Housing Team and the Housing Investment Team for the period up to and including 30 th November 2018 as contained in Appendix (a) of the report.
2. Background
The Area and Neighbourhood agenda places responsibility for ensuring effective performance of Council services at a local level with Area Committees. The information at Appendix (a) captures the relevant information to enable the Area Committee to fulfil its monitoring role in relation to local delivery of Housing Services.
Appendix (b) of the report details examples of cases that the Tenancy Sustainment Officer has dealt with over the last 3 months in term of complex cases and the benefits of the intervention of the Officer to support families in the area to sustain their tenancy and maximise their income.
3. Issues for Consideration
3.1 Rent Collection – On page 2 of the report it shows that the East area has continued to perform well in respect to rent collection up to the end of November 2018. The area has collected 97.51% up to the end of November 2018. Citywide rent collection for the year so far is 96.70%. The East area is performing well when compared to other areas of the city. The target set for the year is currently 97.5%.
In terms of Former Tenant Arrears which is managed by a central housing team, from 344 ceased tenancies within the East area, 164 of those tenancies had rent arrears outstanding. This equates to 47.7% of accounts and a monetary value of £75,516 with £33,695 being collected in the year so far.
Page 87 of 158 There have been 5 evictions in the East area for the year, the figure citywide is 41 overall for this financial year.
The team continue to work with tenants to sustain their tenancies giving support and advice should they fall into financial difficulties.
Universal Credit (UC)
In respect to Universal Credit, Hull moved across to UC Full Service with effect from 10 th December 2018. The Neighbourhoods and Housing Service has been working closely for many months with the DWP, Customer Services and other partners in order to plan and deliver our communications strategy and training programme to prepare for the implementation of UC full “digital” service. We have set up a dedicated UC team, made up of 6 Tenancy Sustainment Officers and a Team Leader. This team will support the transfer of the existing “old style” UC cases onto “full” digital UC service, to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible. Going forward, the team will deal with all new UC council tenant claims and be co-located on a rota, daily, at the Britannia House Jobcentre and at outreach locations across the city. This should ensure that all customers are identified and supported as soon as they have their new claimant interview.
All front line staff and managers have received tailored, high quality UC training and we have a range of tools in place to assist with the transition. Staff have a dedicated toolkit of information and access to a specialist website “Housing Systems Ltd” which has up to date, housing specific guidance about Universal Credit. The Service has also recently procured a range of online benefit and budgeting calculators that can be used to assess the impact of UC on customer’s income so that they can identify if they are likely to be better or worse off when they are transferred to the new benefit.
The Landlord Service has closely monitored the impact of UC on rent collection performance citywide. What this has shown is that those who are already on UC are much more likely to be in arrears, and that the average level of arrears is much higher than those who are not on UC. It is anticipated that, in common with social landlords across the country, we are likely to see a period of increasing rent arrears as we move into the new regime.
To date, Citywide we have 817 UC cases with 66.5% of those cases being in arrears. In the East Area we have 143 cases with 64.3% of those with arrears averaging £422.30 each. These figures represent cases who had arrears before they claimed UC and therefore the impact of UC has not specifically caused the arrears currently in place. The housing teams will continue to support all tenants in arrears either through their local Tenancy Officer, or the UC Tenancy Sustainment Officer.
Page 88 of 158 In Hull as a whole, DWP have reported there are currently 1900 applicants now claiming Universal Credit. This figure was correct as at 10 th January 2019.
3.2 Average Relet Time – Information is included on page 3 of the report detailing the average number of days it takes from a set of keys being handed in from a tenant to the date a new tenancy is created. Up to the end of November 2018 the average relet time for properties within the East area was 38 days compared with the citywide average of 33 days. The area has relet 314 properties in the year so far.
The allocation team in the East Locality allocate East and Park properties, which brought the total for the two areas to 608 properties for the financial year so far. This was the highest number of relets when compared to the number of relets for the other allocation teams across the City. The team continue to work hard to bring down the average relet time for the area.
The East area as at the end of November 2018 had 2.61% rent loss through empty properties, which equates to £326,932 for the year so far. The citywide performance up to the end of November 2018 was a rent loss of 1.93%.
In terms of the average time taken by the contractor to repair properties completed within the month, the average number of days taken to the end of November 2018 for the East area was 19.5 days. The target for the contractor to repair the properties and return them to the area team for reletting is currently 19 days across the city. Citywide performance up to the end of November 2018 was 19.4 days.
3.3 Empty Council Properties – as at the end of November 2018, the East area had 40 empty properties within stock which equates to 0.9% of total stock as detailed on Page 4 of the report.
There were 14 properties ready for relet with the area team, 23 properties receiving repairs including 13 receiving major repairs. In addition to this 65 properties are currently being managed by Housing Strategy and Renewal, with 54 of those being within the regeneration area awaiting demolition, and 11 other voids in the area which gives a grand total of 105 empty properties in the East area as at the end of November 2018.
3.4 Customer Satisfaction – New Homes – in terms of satisfaction figures taken from the new tenant survey, as detailed on page 5 of the report, overall 91.9% of those customers who have completed a survey were satisfied with their new homes during November 2018 in the East area. In comparison, the citywide performance was 92.3% for this period. The team are working with those tenants individually who were not satisfied with their home throughout the year to resolve their concerns regarding their new tenancy.
From 248 surveys completed in the East area, there have been 13 new tenants dissatisfied with their new home for the year so far. The team work closely with
Page 89 of 158 new tenants to resolve any concerns they may have with the property when they sign for their new home.
3.5 Responsive Repairs – Page 6 of the report shows the average time to complete all repairs. Currently in the East Area the average time is 7.2 days compared to 6.9 days for the city.
The percentage of appointments kept by the Contractor in the East area for this period was 92.1% against a city wide average of 94.2% for the year so far.
3.6 Repairs Completed Right First Time – In terms of the percentage of repairs completed right first time, the report details information for the year so far on page 7 of the report. From the total of 669 returns for the year in the East area 91.8% of repairs completed were completed right first time. Citywide the performance is at 90.4% for the year against a target of 85%.

Briefing Paper to the East Area Committee Wards : Sutton, Longhill & Bilton Grange and Ings 7th February 2019
Briefing Paper East Area Housing Revenue Account Budgets 2018-19
Briefing Paper of the City Neighbourhoods and Housing Manager
1. Purpose of the Report and Summary
1.1 The purpose of this report is to update Members on the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) budget spend for the East Area for 2018/19.
2. Background
2.1 HRA delegated budgets to the Area Committee include the ‘Area Based Spend’ ‘Estate Management’ and ‘Environmental’ allocations for 2018/19. A brief summary of the purpose for the spend on the relevant budgets are included below.
3. Issues for Consideration
3.1 The Area Based Spend Budget is used primarily for issues that affect the wider community, but also can be considered for schemes for an individual tenant or leaseholder. This includes for example, fencing in communal areas, bollards, signs, tree pruning/felling, skip provision etc.
3.2 The Estate Management Budget is normally used for work on individual properties, often safety issues, for example tree cutting, rubbish removal, pest control etc. The scope of this budget is limited and mainly used in special circumstances and often in an emergency situation.
3.3 The Environmental Budget is used for fencing work, either for schemes to benefit the wider community or to increase security for
Page 105 of 158 individual properties or for residents suffering from anti-social behaviour or nuisance due to the lack of boundary fencing.
3.4 A summary of spend for each budget so far this financial year is attached to this report as appendices for your information.
3.5 The table below shows the breakdown of each budget amount allocated for 2018/19, along with the available spend to date.

Wards: Ings, Longhill & Report to the East Area Committee Bilton Grange, 7th February, 2019 Sutton
East Area Funds – Ward Budgets and S.106 Allocations
Report of the City Neighbourhood s and Housing Manager
1. Purpose of the Report and Summary
1.1 To update the Committee on the 2018-19 Ward revenue and capital budgets for the East Area.
1.2 To seek Committee agreement to the allocation of funds received in connection with Section 106 planning agreements for the enhancement of public open space in the East Area.
2. Recommendations
2.1 That the Ward budget balance for each ward as set out in paragraphs 6.2, 6.9 and 6.10 be noted.
2.2 That the sum of £155,154.15 from s.106 funds (Application No.12707X, Legal File Reference UU) assigned to the Sutton Ward be approved as a contribution towards the Gleneagles Park combined environmental and flood alleviation scheme, subject to written confirmation from Wates Group that the monies can be spent on this project.
2.3 That the sum of £20,000 from s.106 funds assigned to the Ings ward (Application no. 22922P, Legal File 79585/182) be approved as a contribution towards the Gleneagles Park combined environmental and flood alleviation scheme.
3. Reasons for Recommendations
3.1 To inform Members of the unallocated ward budgets in the East Area to ensure the consideration of all future applications is within the total available balances for the ward.
3.2 The s.106 Planning Obligation Protocol, December 2014 (updated December 2015) requires project details and costings to be endorsed by Planning Services and then confirmed by the Area Committee.
Author: Neighbourhood Co-ordinators (East) Status: DRAFT Date: 30/01/2019 Page 1 of 8 Page 121 of 158 4. Impact on other Executive Committees (including Area Committees)
4.1 There would not be any impact on other Area Committees or other executive committees.
5. Background
5.1 All Wards are allocated a revenue and capital allocation in 2018-19 to award to projects that can demonstrate a positive impact on the targeted community. Applications are considered on their own merit and funding is allocated in accordance with the specified criteria for the budget. Budget balances are contained within the body of this report.
5.2 The s.106 legal agreements require (in accordance with Policy NE6 of the Local Plan) provision of urban green-space and play provision either on, or if off-site, provision can be made in the vicinity of the specified development.
5.3 The process for considering applications for funding from s.106 monies was approved by the Planning Committee on 16 th December 2008 and amended in November 2015. Planning Committee delegated the allocation of sums received in connection with s.106 Agreements (for the provision or enhancement of public open space and /or children’s play space) to Area Committees.
6. Issues for Consideration
6.1 The following budget figures reflect the 2018-19 allocations for the East Area.
6.2 Funds available to Sutton Ward 2018-19
Funds Budget to Amount Allocate Unallocated 2018/2019 £ £ Ward budget (revenue) 8,973 5,972 Ward budget (capital) 46,492 33,832 S.106
6.3 The Gleneagles Park combined Environmental and Flood Alleviation scheme is a partnership project involving the East Neighbourhood Team, Streetscene Services, Flood Risk Team and NPS. Funding for the project has been identified from Ward budgets, s.106 receipts and the Environment Agency.
6.4 Historically the Gleneagles open space floods at all times of the year thus preventing its use for organised sports and limits its recreation functionality. The open space collects much surface water run-off from
Author: Neighbourhood Co-ordinators (East) Status: DRAFT Date: 30/01/2019 Page 2 of 8 Page 122 of 158 the adjacent elevated land and residential properties along its southern boundary. The green space area is comprised of turfed heavy clay with the resulting poor drainage. As a result the Council proposes to simultaneously improve the drainage and the environmental landscape of Gleneagles Park and the drainage of the neighbouring greens on the Sutton Golf Course.
6.5 The Gleneagles site is already surrounded by new bow topped fencing with a separate dog walking area. It is proposed to remove the separating dog area fencing and environmentally enhance the entire site with sympathetic landscaping which will incorporate a meandering path around the site.
6.6 In addition, British and north European semi mature trees and shrubs will be planted with wild flower meadow areas and reeds around the water collecting areas. The landscaping is designed to encourage wildlife, mainly small mammals and birds. The local school and College (Spring Cottage Primary & Wilberforce College) will use the site for nature field trips.
6.7 The recreational elements of the project will see the retention of a drained football area and seats and benches together with challenging climbing equipped zone.
6.8 Planning Services (via the Principal CIL/S106 Officer) has been consulted on the proposed project. The following comments have been received:
This project seems primarily about a flood mitigation scheme that links to the Sutton Golf course. Landscaping including mounding and planting and some footpaths to access the land would be provided along with seating. These works do not appear to require a separate planning permission. The flood alleviation works are likely to reduce flood risks in the locality in conjunction with the space at Sutton Golf Course but it is not clear to what extent. Costings for the works are being progressed as the project emerges but estimates are envisaged as around £200K. A plan has been prepared which details the proposals.
The site is currently used as an informal playing pitch and is of some amenity value so it is of concern that this is being lost, although its use has been prejudiced by water logging. This position could also be improved through use of s106 funding to improve drainage. It is noticeable that a small ‘kick-about’ area is also suggested in the scheme design so this offsets this loss to some extent. It is also acknowledged that the proposed project would perhaps in part replace pitch sports with adventure sports for younger generations, so it is more likely this will improve overall health and well-being for those living nearby, as it is those people who are more likely to use the proposed new facility. There are prospects of vehicles and cycles/motorcycles in
Author: Neighbourhood Co-ordinators (East) Status: DRAFT Date: 30/01/2019 Page 3 of 8 Page 123 of 158 using the new facility with attendant anti-social behaviour issues. In principle therefore, the project has potential to improve urban greenspace and play provision and it will have benefits including reducing local flood risks and is therefore eligible for s106 funding.
A further issue arises from recent use of s106 funds (£31K) at Gleneagles Park for a fenced dog walking area as these will be lost as a consequence of the proposals, although the fencing could be re-used. Dog walking would also be enabled by the proposals just not within an enclosed area. These abortive costs should also be factored into the current proposals as they are, for the most part, unable to be recovered.
There are a number of local planning consents and associated s106 receipts that could be used to fund these works. Although within the Sutton ward it is understood that Ings ward Elected Members have agreed the use of £20K towards the scheme, to be confirmed from either legal agreement 79585/286 or 79585/182. There is potential for £25K to cover flood risks via Environment Agency grant support. The £155K from planning obligation on Leads Road (planning consent referenced as 14/00832/FULL) in addition to the s106 from the above would total £200K, in covering cost estimates.
The legal agreement for the Extra Care site does not refer to provision being within the locality but it is normal practice (outlined in the Planning Obligations Protocol) for this to be achieved in demonstrating a connection between residential development and off-site open space provision. 1 km is the normal accepted distance. The Extra Care site is approximately 1.4km (as the crow flies) from the site where funds are proposed to be used for the project and 1.7kms should people walk to it via Church Street and Robson Way. Because of routing there is a strong possibility that residents from the Extra Care would not use the facilities at Gleneagles Park. Further it is not clear if residents from the Extra Care site would benefit from any improvement of flood risk given the distance involved although the topography might demonstrate otherwise.
Use of s106 from the Extra Care site therefore involves the prospect of going beyond the 1km prescribed limit, and there being a limited connection between the development and the open space improvement and therefore the possibility of the developer clawing back s106 funds to this end. The City Council generally accept use of s106 beyond this if it is used to provide facilities that would serve a much wider catchment population as is the case with major parks, such as East Park. Gleneagles Park is not of a scale that would attract custom from a much wider catchment. As a planning gain issue there are merits in using the space as proposed by the wider community, just that it does not comply with the Planning Obligations Protocol, as regards being within the prescribed 1km of the development where s106 has been procured.
Author: Neighbourhood Co-ordinators (East) Status: DRAFT Date: 30/01/2019 Page 4 of 8 Page 124 of 158
Despite the risks of claw back, Planning Services has been tasked by Sutton Ward members with writing to the developers (Wates Group) to secure use of the s106 fund from the Extra Care development. This has occurred and a response is awaited, requesting acceptance of use at Gleneagles Park. The reality is that the Extra Care development legal agreement does not require local provision in any case. Despite this it remains a possibility that a challenge could be made to claw back s106 funds but there are reasonable grounds to reject this, including the seeming limited amount and quality of open spaces in the Sutton ward. There are other consequences including further housing development proposals within the ward being scrutinised including a need for greater clarity about the destination and nature of open space improvements arising (to be included in future s106 legal agreements) or possible rejection of proposals on the grounds of these being unable to mitigate open space impacts.
There is potential to use s106 funds allocated to Sutton ward as part of this project, or perhaps to cover further phases. There are 4 x s106s that are currently available to spend including:
• Astral Gardens (79585/288) - £13.7K • 88 Tweendykes Road (79585/167) - £0.5K • 23 Cavendish Road (79585/272) - £1.5K • 16 Church Street (UU0A – 2017) - £2K
In a similar way to the Extra Care site these s106 amounts are not within 1km of Gleneagles Park. Astral Gardens, for example, is twice this should local roads be used as a route. Should the total £17K be required to offset costs at Gleneagles Park an element of children’s play equipment would be needed to comply with the respective legal requirements as well as agreement from respective developers who made payment.
The Government regulations currently constrain the use of planning obligation funding in such a way that the Council is not allowed to combine five or more s106’s for use on a single project. In the case of Gleneagles there are seemingly two s106s already committed so a further two from this list of four is allowable, and should the funding be required. The Government is currently consulting on relaxing this constraint so until confirmation of a change to the regulations, only four s106’s are allowable to be endorsed at the February Area Committee for this project, unless otherwise advised.’
6.9 Following communication with Wates Group and Riverside Housing as required by Planning Services (via the Principal CIL/S106 Officer), verbal confirmation has been obtained that the two companies have no objection to the s106 fund from the Extra Care development being allocated to the Gleneagles project. At the time of writing this report, written agreement was pending.

7. Options and Risk Assessment
7.1 The Legal Agreements made under s.106 Town & Country planning Act 1990 state what the financial contributions are to be used for and specifies timescales in which they must be used. If they are not used in accordance with the terms of the agreements, this could be challenged and the Council be required to repay the money (plus interest), so it is essential to follow these criteria:-
(i) it is used for the purpose specified only, e.g. provision or enhancement of public open space and/or children’s play space in the vicinity of the development;
(ii) the allocated project should be carried out within the timescale specified in the Agreement;
(iii) it does not include any provision for future maintenance;
(iv) it should not be used to pay for schemes that have already been carried out.
7.2 The request for s.106 funds is within the total s.106 funding from planning applications 22922P and 12707X. The use of funds from application 12707X is dependent on the Developer of the Redwood Glades Extra Care facility agreeing to the s.106 payment being
Author: Neighbourhood Co-ordinators (East) Status: DRAFT Date: 30/01/2019 Page 6 of 8 Page 126 of 158 allocated to this project. If approval is not obtained, the project will be delayed pending the identification of alternative funding. 8. Consultation
8.1 Consultation on the proposed s.106 payment has taken place with Ward Members, Streetscene Services and HCaL .
9. Comments of the Town Clerk (Monitoring Officer)
9.1 Whilst the works proposed to Gleneagles Park would be a legitimate use of S. 106 contributions, there is clearly a balance to be struck here between the appropriateness of the use and the distance from the planning application site that secured the funds. The Assistant City Manager (Planning) notes in his comments that there is a lack of suitable alternative open space sites in Sutton and also that the Extra Care site did not stipulate any location for use of the S. 106 funds. Discussion has also taken place with the developers who made the contributions and it appears likely that there will be no objection to their application for Gleneagles Park. The proposed enhancements to the Park will have wider community benefits as well as their own intrinsic amenity value. The recommendation is therefore supported.
10. Comments of the Section 151 Officer
10.1 The s151 Officer notes the recommendations of the report and has no further comment to make.
11. Comments of HR City Manager and compliance with the Equality Duty
11.1 The City HR Manager notes the desired use of resources. There are no staffing or wider human resources implications for the Council.
12. Comments of Overview and Scrutiny
12.1 This report has not been subject to pre-decision scrutiny. (Ref: Sc5226).
