1. Executive Summary and overview of the West Howe Strategic Assessment Refresh

In 2012, Bournemouth 2026 Trust commissioned Paul Iggulden Associates Limited to produce an independent ‘West Howe Strategic Assessment’. The purpose of the document was to provide intelligence to enable the preparation of a three year action plan for West Howe.

Since the production of the 2012 assessment, 2011 Census data has been released which provides a more up to date picture of the West Howe area. The purpose of this document is to provide an updated data set for the West Howe area which will enable the West Howe Regeneration Partnership to review existing priorities and establish if any new priorities have emerged in light of the new data. It should be noted that although this document contains updated data, much of it is from before 2014 which is when the West Howe Commitment was launched. This data should there be seen as a benchmarking or baseline rather than a judgement on whether the WHRP has achieved the outcomes set out in the West Howe Commitment document.

The key priorities that emerge from the review of the quantitive data that is available are around income & employment, education & skills and health. From a qualitative perspective, resident’s priorities are road & pavement repairs, clean streets and levels of crime.

Summary of the key findings:

 West Howe is a very stable community in relation to its growth and transience  More young people aged under 18 than Bournemouth proportionately  Fewer young adults aged 20-29 than Bournemouth proportionately  Less ethnic diversity than Bournemouth and England  Significantly more households renting from Local Authority  Under the 2015 Indices of Multiple Deprivation, all four LSOA’s remain within the 10% most deprived in England  Significant Income Deprivation particularly affecting Children and Older People  Most deprived area in Bournemouth for Education, Skills & Training  Significantly more likely to have ‘no qualifications’ compared to Bournemouth  Significantly fewer young people achieving 5 or more GCSE’s A+- C including English and Maths  Significantly more lone parent households with dependent children with no adult in employment than Bournemouth  Standardised Incidence Ratio for Lung Cancer significantly higher than for Bournemouth  Standardised Admissions Ratio for hospital stays for ‘self harm’ and ‘alcohol related harm’ significantly worse than for England  Standardised Mortality Ratio for Coronary Heart Disease significantly worse than for England  Standardised Mortality Ratio for Premature Mortality significantly worse than for England 3

1.1 The area of focus

The assessment focuses on four Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) which make a best fit of the area known locally as ‘West Howe’. These are:

Area 307- Turbary Common, Wallisdown

Area 309- West Howe

Area 312- Poole Lane South

Area 313- Heathlands

Where data is not available at LSOA level it has been collated at either Middle Layer Super Output Area Turbary Common (area 005) which contain five LSOA’s (four of which are ‘West Howe’) or at the Kinson South Ward level- of which ‘West Howe’ makes up approximately half of the ward.

2.0 West Howe Census data- changes between 2001 and 2011

In direct contrast with the rest of the Country, the West Howe area has reduced in population size by around 7% between 2001 and 2011. Bournemouth as a whole saw a population growth of 12.3%.

2.1 People by Age

The bar chart below shows the percentage of people by age using 2011 Census data. The percentages for West Howe are broadly in line with the percentages for Bournemouth with the following exceptions: 22.9% of the population are aged 0-14 compared to 14.5% for Bournemouth- areas 309 and 213 have higher percentages of children. The percentage of children aged 15 to 17 is higher in West Howe at 5.1% compared to 2.9% for Bournemouth. The percentage of people aged 20 to 29 is lower at 11.4% compared to 17.5%. The percentage aged 85 to 89 is lower at 0.9% compared to 2.1% for Bournemouth.

A detailed data breakdown of ages across the four LSOA can be found at table 1 at the end of this report.

2.2 Ethnicity

The bar chart below shows the break down by ethnicity across the West Howe area. The 2001 and 2011 Census data is not directly comparable due to changes in the range of ethnicity options however there are some broad comparison that can be made. The percentage who are ‘White; English/Welsh/Scottish/Northern Irish/British’ has decreased from 96.3% in 2001 to 92.5% in 2011. This is higher than the 2011 figure for Bournemouth of 83.8%.

The number of ‘White Irish’ have decreased by a count of 8 over the ten year period reducing the percentage from 0.5% to 0.4%. The number of ‘White other’ has doubled from 70 in 2001 to 143 in 2011. This is the second largest grouping in the area although in actual terms it represents 2.6% of the population in 2011 compared

6 to 1.2% in 2001. The figure for Bournemouth is significantly higher at 7.3%. A detailed data breakdown is available in table 2 at the end of this report.

2.3 Religion

The percentage of residents declaring their religion to be Christian is broadly in line with that for Bournemouth and England with the exception of area 309. The percentage of residents stating that they had no religion is significantly higher than both the Bournemouth and national figures.

Christian No religion Religion not stated Area 307 55.3% 36.0% 6.7% Area 313 54.2% 36.3% 6.6% Area 312 52.6% 36.5% 6.9% Area 309 48.8% 41.2% 7.3% Bournemouth 57.1% 30.5% 7.8% England 59.4% 24.7% 7.2%

2.4 Housing

The table below shows the type of accommodation by household as identified in the 2011 Census. 99.7% of accommodation is in an unshared dwelling, slightly above the figure for Bournemouth of 97.8%. The percentage of accommodation that is in a whole house or bungalow (68.8%) is significantly higher than Bournemouth (52%). There is also a large variation between the four LSOA’s with area 312 having the highest percentage at 80.7% and area 309 having the lowest at 60.2%. The remainder of the accommodation is made up mainly of purpose built flats or tenements.

2.5 Tenure

The bar chart below shows the tenure of households as identified in the 2011 Census. The percentage of households owning their property (15.8%) outright is lower than that for Bournemouth at 27.7%. The percentage varies across the four LSOA’s with the lowest outright ownership in area 313 at 8.8% and the highest in area 312 at 23.1%.

The percentage owning their property through a mortgage or loan (23.4%) is also lower than the figure for Bournemouth of 29.4%.

41% rent their property through the Council compared to just fewer than 6% for Bournemouth. Double the percentage rent their accommodation through a social landlord at 10.4% compared to 5.2% for Bournemouth. Only 6.3% rent their property through a private landlord compared to 28.2% for Bournemouth. A detailed data breakdown is available in table 3 at the end of this report.

8.3% of the Kinson South ward were defined as overcrowded households (at least 1 room too few) in the 2011 Census compared to 14% for Bournemouth and 8.7% for England. The percentage of pensioners living alone was also lower (but not significantly) at 29.8%. The figure for Bournemouth is 34.6% and 31.5% for England.

2.6 Car or van availability by household

The bar chart below shows car or van availability of households. The percentage of households with no access to a car or van (30.9%) is significantly higher than the figure for Bournemouth of 25.9%. Residents in area 307 are the least likely within West Howe not to have access to a car or van at 33.6%. Residents in the 312 area of West Howe were most likely to have access to a car or van with 73.2% having access- this is broadly in line with the figure for Bournemouth of 74.1%. A detailed data break down is available in Table 4 at the end of this report.

3 Deprivation Levels within West Howe The Indices of Deprivation 2015 provide a relative measure of deprivation in small areas across England. Deprivation refers to more than just poverty; it refers to a lack of resources and opportunities.

How are the Indices calculated? The English Indices of Deprivation 2015 are based on 37 separate indicators, organised across seven distinct domains of deprivation which are combined, using appropriate weights, to calculate the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2015 (IMD 2015). This is an overall measure of multiple deprivation experienced by people living in an area and is calculated for every Lower layer Super Output Area (LSOA), or neighbourhood, in England. Every such neighbourhood in England is ranked according to its level of deprivation relative to that of other areas.

The Index of Multiple Deprivation is a relative measure of deprivation. This means it can tell you if one area is more deprived than another but not by how much. For example, a small area with a rank of 1,000 is not half as deprived as a place with a rank of 500.

When looking at changes in deprivation between the Indices of Deprivation 2015 and previous versions, users should therefore be aware that changes can only be described in relative terms, for example, the extent to which an area has changed rank or decile of deprivation.

It should strongly be noted that the majority of data used to construct the Indices is from 2008-2013 and therefore before the West Howe Commitment was brought into place. As such it is my view that these Indices should be seen as the initial benchmarking of the starting point for the regeneration work rather than an indication of the work over the last two years.

3.1 Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2015

Looking at the four LSOA’s within West Howe, we have seen some improvement in ranking in areas 307, 309 and 313 under the Indices of Multiple Deprivation however all still remain within the 10% most deprived areas in England. Area 312 has improved and moved from the first to the second most deprived deciles in England.

3.2 Income Deprivation Domain

The Income Deprivation Domain measures the proportion of the population experiencing deprivation relating to low income. The definition of low income used includes both those people that are out-of-work, and those that are in work but who have low earnings (and who satisfy the respective means tests). This domain and sub-domains use the following data:

 Adults and children in Income Support Families; Adult and Children in income- based Jobseekers Allowance families; Adults and Children in income based Employment and Support Allowance families; Adults and Children in Pension Credit (Guarantee) families; Adults and Children in Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit families not already counted, and those whose equivalised income (excluding housing benefit) is below 60 per cent of the median before housing costs; Asylum seekers in England in receipt of subsistence support, accommodation support or both; Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and the Home Office 2012.

In relation to Income Deprivation all four areas have seen improvements in their ranking however areas 309, 312 and 307 remain within the 10% most deprived areas in England. Area 313 has improved and moved from the first to the second most deprived decile however it is still within the 20% most deprived areas in England.

3.3 Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI)

For Income Deprivation Affecting Children we have seen deprivation ranking worsening in areas 312, 309 and 307 but improving in area 313. Area’s 312 and 309 remain within the first decile of deprivation. Area 307 remains within the second decile of deprivation. Area 313 has moved from the first to the second decile of deprivation.

3.4 Income Deprivation Affecting Older People (IDAOPI)

We have seen little change in areas 313 and 307 in relation to Income Deprivation Affecting Older People, both remain within the first decile of deprivation. Area 309 has moved from the second to the first decile of deprivation. Area 312 has moved from the third to the second decile of deprivation.

3.5 Education, Skills and Training Deprivation

The Education, Skills and Training Deprivation Domain measures the lack of attainment and skills in the local population. The indicators fall into two sub-domains: one relating to children and young people and one relating to adult skills. These two sub-domains are designed to reflect the ‘flow’ and ‘stock’ of educational disadvantage within an area respectively. That is, the Children and Young People Sub-domain measures the attainment of qualifications and associated measures (‘flow’), while the Adult Skills Sub-domain measures the lack of qualifications in the resident working-age adult population (‘stock’). This domain and the sub-domains use the following data:

 Key Stage 2 attainment, Key Stage 4 attainment and Secondary school absence 2010/11, 2011/12 and 2012/13  Staying on in education post 16 years, 2010 to 2012  Entry to higher education 2009/10 to 2012/13  Adult skills 2011 Census  English language proficiency 2011 Census  Adult skill and English language proficiency indicators- combined 2011 Census

Area 309 is the most deprived area in Bournemouth for Education, Skills and Training deprivation and has become more deprived between 2010 and 2015. Area 312 has also become more deprived in its ranking and both areas are within the first decile of deprivation. Area 313 has improved in terms of its ranking but remains within the first decile. Area 307 has seen a large improvement in its deprivation ranking and has moved from the first to the second decile.

3.6 Children and Young People sub-domain

Areas 309 and 312 have seen their deprivation scores worsen over the past five years in relation to Children and Young People’s Education, Skills and Training deprivation however they both remain within the first decile for deprivation. Areas 313 and 307 have both improved their deprivation ranking however 313 remains within the first decile for deprivation. 307 has moved from the first decile to the second decile.

3.8 Employment Deprivation

The Employment Deprivation Domain measures the proportion of the working-age population in an area involuntarily excluded from the labour market. This includes people who would like to work but are unable to do so due to unemployment, sickness or disability, or caring responsibilities. This domain uses the following data:

 Claimants of Jobseekers Allowance (both contribution-based and income- based), women aged 18-59 and men aged 18-64; Claimants of Employment and Support Allowance (both contribution- based and income-based), women aged 18-59 and men aged 16-64; Claimants of Incapacity Benefit, women aged 18-59 and men aged 18-64; Claimants of Severe Disablement Allowance, women aged 18-59 and men aged 18-64; Claimants of Carer’s Allowance, women aged 18-59 and men aged 18-64; from the DWP for four quarters between May 2012 and February 2013.

For Employment Deprivation we haven’t seen a great deal of change in relation to the area’s overall deprivation but we have seen a change in their ranking in relation to Bournemouth. Areas 307 and 309 continue to be within the first decile of deprivation and 312 and 313 within the second decile. In 2010 area 309 ranked eighth in Bournemouth, it is now fourth. We can also see similarities between its Employment Deprivation ranking and its ranking for Education, Skills & Training and Income Deprivation.

3.9 Barriers to Housing and Services Deprivation

The Barriers to Housing and Services Domain measures the physical and financial accessibility of housing and local services. The indicators fall into two sub- domains: the Geographical Barriers Sub-domain, which relates to the physical proximity of local services, and the Wider Barriers Sub-domain which includes issues relating to access to housing such as affordability. The domain and sub- domain uses the following data:

 Road distance to a post office 2014, Post Office Ltd  Road distance to a primary school 2014, Department for Education Edubase  Road distance to a general store or supermarket 201, Ordnance Survey  Road distance to a GP surgery 2014, Organisation Data Service, Health and Social Care Information Centre  Household overcrowding 2011, ONS  Homelessness 2011/12, 2012/13 and 2013/14, Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG)  Housing affordability 2012, estimated primarily from the family Resource Survey, Regulated Mortgage Survey, Land Registry house prices and Valuation Office Agency market rents

Areas 312 and 313 have seen their deprivation rankings worsen over the five year period in relation to Barriers to Housing and Services deprivation however only area 312 is within the 20% most deprived areas in England. Areas 307 and 313 are within the third and fourth decile and area 309 is within the fifth decile.

3.11 Wider Barriers sub-domain

Area 313 was the least deprived area in West Howe for Wider Barriers in 2010 but is now the most deprived area in West Howe. It ranks in the second decile placing it in the 20% most deprived areas in England. Area 309 has also seen its deprivation ranking worsen although it still remains with the third decile. Areas 307 and 312 have seen their deprivation rankings improve but also remain within the third decile.

3.12 Crime Domain

The Crime Domain measures the risk of personal and material victimisation at local level. This domain uses the following data:

 Violence, burglary, theft and criminal violence 2013/14, Association of Chief Police Officers, provided by the Home Office

All four areas in West Howe are within the 20% most deprived in England for Crime & Disorder. Area 309 is the only area to move between deciles, moving from the third most deprived to the second most deprived decile.

3.13 Health and Disability Deprivation Domain

The Health Deprivation and Disability Domain measures the risk of premature death and the impairment of quality of life through poor physical or mental health. The domain measures morbidity, disability and premature mortality but not aspects of behaviour or environment that may be predictive of future health deprivation. This domain uses the following data:

 Years of potential life lost 2008-2012, Office of National Statistics (ONS)  Comparative illness and disability ratio 2013, DWP  Acute morbidity 2011/12 to 2012/13, Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIS)  Mood and anxiety disorders 2008 to 2013, HSCIS; DWP; ONS

All four areas of West Howe are within the 20% most deprived in England for Health & Disability Deprivation. Areas 307, 309 and 312 have seen their rankings improve and move from the first to the second decile. Area 313 has seen its ranking worsen however it still remains within the second decile of deprivation.

3.14 Living Environment Deprivation

The Living Environment Deprivation Domain measures the quality of the local environment. The indicators fall into two sub-domains. The ‘indoors’ living environment measures the quality of housing; while the ‘outdoors’ living environment contains measures of air quality and road traffic accidents. The domain and sub- domains use the following data sources:

 Housing in poor condition -English Housing Survey 2011  Houses without central heating- 2011 Census  Air quality indicator- UK Air Information resource air quality 2012  Road traffic accidents indicator- Department for Transport 2011, 2012 and 2013

None of the four areas in West Howe are within the 20% most deprived for Living Environment Deprivation. Area 312 has improved its ranking between 2010 and 2015 and moved from the third decile to the fourth decile.

4 Residents Perceptions

Bournemouth Borough Council conducted a resident’s survey in West Howe in October 2014. The survey used a similar questionnaire and methodology to the Bournemouth Opinion Survey (BOS) which was conducted across the Borough in 2013 and 2012. The results for West Howe are compared to the Borough wide 2013 BOS results where possible.

4.1 Overall Satisfaction with the Local Area as a Place to Live

Six out of ten people said that they were very or fairly satisfied with their local area as a place to live. This is significantly less than the figure for Bournemouth where eight out of ten residents were satisfied with their local area as a place to live. Although not directly comparable due to the sample size, a smaller survey was conducted in West Howe in 2012 which found that seven out of ten residents were satisfied with their local area as a place to live.

Satisfaction with the area as a place to live increases the longer someone has lived in the area. Only 54% of residents who have lived there less than a year were satisfied with the area as a place to live compared to 72% who had lived there for 20 years or more.

4.2 Residents’ Priorities

Residents were given a list of twenty things and asked to prioritise which five they thought were most important in making somewhere a good place to live.

2014 2012 Change Level of crime 61% 1st 54% 2nd +7% Clean streets 56% 2nd 55% 1st +1% Affordable decent 42% 3rd 34% 5th +8% housing Public transport 39% 4th 25% +14% Parks and open 34% 5th 41% 3rd -7% spaces Roads and 33% 35% 4th -2% pavement repairs Health services 27% 32% -5% Shopping facilities 25% 21% +4% Activities for 23% 33% -10% teenagers Access to nature 22% 27% -5% Education 21% 27% -6% provision Facilities for young 19% 23% -4% children Wage levels and 16% 11% +5% local cost living Job prospects 14% 17% -3% Level of traffic 13% 9% +4% congestion Community 8% 5% +3% activities Sports and leisure 8% 3% +5% facilities Cultural facilities 7% 13% -6% The level of 6% 5% +1% pollution Race relations 1% 2% -1%

There has been a change in the order of the issues which residents feel are the most important in making an area a good place to live between 2012 and 2014. ‘Crime’ is now the number one issue, where as previously it was second to ‘clean streets’. ‘Affordable decent housing’ is now the 3rd most important, where as it was previously 5th. ‘Public transport’ has seen a steep rise from previously being the 10th issue to now becoming the 4th.

A second question asks residents which five things most need improving in their local area.

2014 2012 Change Road and 51% 1st 44% 2nd +7% pavement repairs Clean streets 47% 2nd 41% 3rd +6% The level of crime 47% 2nd 57% 1st -10% Activities for 36% 4th 39% 4th -3% teenagers The level of traffic 21% 5th 14% +7% congestion Job prospects 19% 29% 5th -10% Parks and open 19% 13% +6% spaces Affordable decent 18% 16% +2% housing Facilities for young 17% 23% -6% children Public transport 17% 15% +2% Wage levels and 17% 20% -3% cost of living Health services 14% 12% +2% Shopping facilities 14% 14% 0% Community 125 6% +6% activities Education 10% 7% +3% provision Sports and leisure 9% 6% +3% facilities Access to nature 7% 7% 0% The level of 5% 3% +2% pollution Cultural facilities 3% 2% +1% Race relations 3% 2% +1%

Residents feel very strongly about four things which need improving- ‘road and pavement repairs’, ‘clean streets’, ‘the level of crime’ and ‘activities for teenagers’. These are the same four things that residents said most need improving in the area in 2012 although the order has changed between 2012 and 2014.

There has been a decrease from 29% to 19% in the number of residents saying that job prospects are in need of improvement.

The level of crime is of more concern to younger people (54% aged 16 to 34) than older people (34% aged 65+). 24

4.3 Key priorities

By comparing the importance of a priority against those most in need of improvement we can identify that there are 3 clear areas of focus for residents:

 Cleans streets  Road and pavement repairs  The level of crime

There are also a number of secondary priorities which need to be considered as they could quickly become primary priorities if not monitored:

 Parks and open spaces  Affordable housing  Public transport  Activities for teenagers

4.4 Satisfaction with Council services

Service satisfaction- satisfaction is highest with refuse collection, the seafront and doorstep recycling. Satisfaction was lowest with sports & leisure facilities, theatres & concert halls and museums & galleries. It is worth noting that they also had a high neutral response though, as they are not used as often.

Dissatisfaction- 41% were dissatisfied with keeping public land clear of litter and refuse.

4.5 Usage of Council services

There is generally lower usage of the Council’s services within West Howe than there is elsewhere in the Borough, however the order of usage is the same. The seafront and parks & gardens have the highest usage both at 88% (compared to 94% for Bournemouth) and theatres & concert halls and museums & galleries have the lowest (49% and 24% respectively, compared to 63% and 40% for Bournemouth).

4.6 The Community

51% of residents very or fairly strongly feel that they belong to their local area, much lower than the figure for Bournemouth of 64%. There has, however, been an increase on the figure in 2012 which was 42%. The sense of belonging was highest in those aged 65+.

49% of residents agreed that people from different ethnic backgrounds get on well together. This is much lower than the figure for Bournemouth of 61%.

4.7 Community Safety

37% of residents said they felt safe outside after dark in their local area, this has decreased since 2012. In Bournemouth 52% feel safe outside after dark. 77% said they felt safe outside in their local area during the day compared to 85% for Bournemouth.

4.8 Anti-social behaviour

Residents were given seven different types of anti-social behaviour and asked how much of a problem each of these was for their local area. The proportion of residents who feel that there is an overall problem with anti-social behaviour is double that for Bournemouth. Four in ten West Howe residents had a high perception of ASB compared to two in ten for Bournemouth. Perceptions of all types of ASB is higher within West Howe compared to Bournemouth with the exception of drunk and rowdy behaviour which is the same.

All who say is a problem: West Howe 2014 Bournemouth 2013 Rubbish or litter lying 63% 34% around People using or dealing 60% 40% drugs Groups hanging around 54% 33% the streets Vandalism, graffiti and 47% 26% other deliberate damage Untidy gardens or other 40% 20% privately owned land People being drunk or 39% 39% rowdy in public Noisy neighbours or loud 29% 21% parties

4.9 Communication

Residents in West Howe are considerably less likely to believe that the Council acts on their concerns (45%) compared to Bournemouth residents (63%). People who rent from the Council are much more likely to believe that the Council acts on their concerns than those who rent from social or private landlords (18% and 17% respectively).

4.10 Social Contact

People in West Howe are more likely to say they have as much social contact as they want when compared to Bournemouth as a whole (64% for West Howe compared to 58% for Bournemouth). Non-white BME groups and those with a disability are less likely to have enough social contact.

4.11 Satisfaction with Life

Residents were asked to rate how satisfied they were their life on a scale of one to ten with one being not at all and ten being completely. Over two thirds (69%) of residents rated their score as 7 or higher- broadly in line with the figure of 71% for Bournemouth

West Howe 1964, Copyright: Bournemouth Borough Council

5.0 Health and Wellbeing

Residents were asked in the BOS survey to describe their health in general from a list of responses including ‘very good’, ‘good’, ‘fair’, ‘bad’ and ‘very bad’. The responses for those describing themselves in good or very good health was in line with the figure for Bournemouth (66% for West Howe, 69% for Bournemouth).

5.1 People’s General health

The 2011 Census also asked people to describe their general health over the preceding 12 months as either ‘very good’, ‘good’, ‘fair’, ‘bad’ or ‘very bad’. All four LSOA’s had lower percentages who describe their health as good/very good compared to the percentage for Bournemouth. Similarly all four LSOAs had higher percentages of residents describing their health as bad/very bad. Of all the four LSOAs, residents in area 307 had the largest percentage of residents describing themselves to have ‘bad’ or ‘very bad’ health compared to Bournemouth.

7 Education, Skills and Training

7.1 Qualifications and Students

Using 2011 Census data we can see that the West Howe population aged 16 and over are more likely than Bournemouth residents to have no qualifications (34.6% for West Howe compared to 19.1% for Bournemouth). The percentage with no qualifications is highest in area 313 at 37%. West Howe residents are more likely than Bournemouth residents to have either a level 1 or level 2 qualifications as their highest level. Levels of apprenticeships are broadly in line with the figure for Bournemouth (West Howe 3.4%, Bournemouth 3.8%). Only 10.4% had their highest level of qualification as level 4 or above, less than half the figure for Bournemouth of 26.4%. Table 6 at the end of the report provides a definition of qualifications by level.

7.2 GCSE and Equivalent results

The table below shows the GCSE and equivalent results for young people by gender referenced by the location of pupil residence rather than the school attended. Due to the low numbers of pupils within LSOA’s some of the data is obscured to prevent individuals being identified. We are therefore unable to aggregate data into a ‘West Howe’ area. This data relates to the 2013 to 2014 academic year. Attainment levels across all four areas are significantly below the performance levels for Bournemouth. A key performance target is for the percentage of children achieving 5 or more A*- C including English and Maths at key Stage 4. For Bournemouth in the academic year 13-14 58.5% of children achieved 5 or more GCSE’s grade A* - C including English and Maths. For West Howe the four LSOA’s ranged from the lowest at 28.6% in area 312 through to 47.6% in area 309.

Due to the low numbers it is not possible to view the attainment levels by gender across the four LSOAs. Bournemouth middle layer super output area 005 includes five LSOA’s, four of which make up West Howe. At this level we can see there is still a large gap in attainment levels by gender with only 25.6% of boys achieving 5 or more A*-C GCSE’s including English and Maths compared to 53.2%. For Girls the figure is slightly improved at 43.6% but still far behind the figure for Bournemouth of 63.5%.

7.3 West Howe Virtual School

Achieve Together focuses on working with schools and other community organisations to ensure that no child’s educational success is limited by their socio- economic background. They have produced a ‘West Howe Virtual School’ report which looks at the data and performance of children living in West Howe.

Based on the January 2014 school census there were 241 primary and secondary students living in WH – fewer than 10 students attended alternative provision.

English as and Additional Language

The chart below shows that in 2014 5% of students from West Howe had English as an additional language (EAL) compared to 11% of Bournemouth as a whole. The low numbers of EAL students indicate that the main attainment issue in West Howe is not related to a students first language.

Students with Special Education Needs (SEN)

Whilst West Howe has almost double the proportion of School Action Plus students and a quarter more School Action students than Bournemouth as a whole these represent only a small proportion of students. 26% of students from West Howe have a special education need (SEN) compared to 18% of students from Bournemouth. Therefore any difference in performance based on SEN is not a factor that could be classed as the greatest driver for educational inequality in West Howe. School Action - a child with SEN has an Individual Education Plan (IEP) and receives extra support in school eg individual, small group teaching, or extra equipment. School Action Plus - provides more support than at School Action stage. A child may have help from outside specialists such as an educational psychologist or speech and language therapist.

The figure giving average point score at KS1, 2 and 4 give an indication of the difficulty all students, but particularly those from West Howe have in gaining progress to become the higher attaining. This is shown by the gap between Bournemouth and West Howe students at KS2 and at KS4. The widening gap between the average points of all students and particularly those of the top performing 25%.

That said there is stronger performance of the lowest achieving 25% West Howe students at KS4 compared to Bournemouth as a whole. The level of students in one phase of schooling impacts the educational outcomes of the following phase. This pattern is repeated throughout the academic life of students in Bournemouth. Because of the lower overall performance of students this pattern is more of an issue to students in West Howe compared to the rest of Bournemouth.
