Pupil Places - Planned Housing Growth

Charnwood District has two large housing developments West of Loughborough and North East of both developments have been granted planning permission subject to the completion of a Section 106 agreement. The North East of Leicester agreement has been signed and sealed. The West of Loughborough has also been signed and sealed. Both agreements include the provision of 4/5 primary schools and a secondary school.

Meetings regarding the North of Birstall development (Broadnook) is ongoing a planning application has been submitted to Charnwood BC.

There is significant housing in Shepshed that has been granted planning permission and we are working with the schools on increasing capacity to accommodate the additional housing.

Please see Primary Housing Data as of 21/08/2019 showing sites within the Charnwood District that have obtained detailed or outline consent or are under construction. 2

Forecasting

Primary

The primary capacity overall in Charnwood is stable without housing gain however where housing gains have secured S106 funding there will be some challenges ahead on where to provide those places as some primary Academies have expressed a wish not to expand.

There are significant housing gains forecast as part of Sustainable Urban Extensions and new schools will be constructed on those developments.

Of the 49 schools in the area 19 are forecasting a deficit of 10 or more places, of these the majority are due to housing gain and discussions with Academy Trusts are underway to address the issue.

Secondary

Of the 11 schools in the area 6 are forecasting a deficit of 28 or more places, of these the majority are due to housing gain and section 106 funding has been secured to provide additional places subject to discussions with Academy Trusts to agree to increase their capacity.

First Time Admissions 2019

At National Offer Day on 16th April 2019 there were 89 Charnwood children who had no offer of a school place. Of these 89 children, 46 parents had only stated one preference and 28 parents did not put the catchment school on the application form.

Charnwood Borough Council area as at 20/05/2019 has 2,084 places available for First Time Admission (FTA) in September 2019. There were 2,054 applications received of which 1,823 were from children living in the Borough. A total of 2001 places have been allocated leaving a surplus of 83 places.

Secondary Admissions 2019

At National Offer Day on 1st March 2019 there were 41 children who had no offer of a school place. Of these 41 children, 28 parents had only stated one preference and 18 did not state the catchment school as a preference.

Leicestershire

Leicestershire County Council has provided an additional 154 new First Time Admission (FTA) places for September 2019 across the County and will be providing a further 1,102 primary places from the 2019/20 Capital programme.

There has been a slight decrease in the percentage of applicants obtaining their first preference for September 2019 from 92.8% to 90.3% this year.

New Admissions Policy

The Leicestershire Admissions Policy is required to comply with the National School Admissions Code, last revised in December 2014. The LA policy applies to all Maintained Schools. Academies are their own admissions authority so have their own policy (some follow the Leicestershire model but others do not).

The LA Admissions Policy was revised in 2018 at which time it was amended so that at the point of first time admission and secondary transfers, if there were more requests for in-catchment children than the admission number (AN), the AN would not be exceeded, except in exceptional circumstances.

All admitting authorities are awaiting new National Admissions and Appeals Codes, as the current ones are overdue a review (Admission 2014, Appeals 2012). The DfE have indicated no review is likely until after Brexit.

Leicestershire will this year be consulting on its admissions policy; criteria and a catchment boundary change affecting Whetstone Badgerbrook Primary School, the Blaby/Countesthorpe area and the Ashby area. The catchment change is to future proof the pressure on Whetstone Badgerbrook Primary School, Countesthorpe Greenfield Primary School and to amend catchment areas in Ashby to include the new primary school. The LA’s consultation will be launched in the Autumn and the changes will come into force for school admissions in Autumn 2021.

The policy in general has also been refreshed, for example removing the social and domestic oversubscription criteria and faith criterion to bring our criteria in-line with national trends.

All academies as their own admitting authorities must also adhere to running a formal consultation to change their admissions policy and arrangements. Many have consulted and moved away from the LA’s admissions model. However there are issues arising with academies having outdated policies and not having their admissions policy published on the school website. These academies are then challenged to ensure compliance to avoid the risk of a school adjudicator investigation.

SEND Provision

There is increasing demand for additional SEND places particularly in respect of Communication and Interaction (C&I) and Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH) Needs. There is also a specific growth around post 16 provision. The most recent forecast of demand anticipates a 22% growth in pupil places required over the next 5 years.

To meet the demand for places the LA has implemented the High Needs Block Development Plan, approved by Cabinet 29th March 2019.

The plan will enable over the next few years the development of: -

• 10 new units for SEMH Primary /Secondary • 5 new units for C & I • Expansion of all 6 existing special schools • Development of a new C & I school in Barwell • Development of 2 SEMH free schools • And, longer term, potentially a new area special school.

4

To deliver the above requires a substantial capital programme (c£30M) and complex changes in the organisation/governance arrangements of schools. All work is currently on track to enable the opening of the first units in 2019.

New Schools planned for Leicestershire

All new schools will be designated Free Schools, this is another form of Academy and will be run by a Multi Academy Trust appointed by the regional schools commissioner (DfE) having followed the free school presumption process.
