  • Area Profile
    A profile of needs and s Services about children, young people and their families In the Hyde, Hattersley & Longdendale area of Tameside September 2007 Hyde, Hattersley & Longdendale: Profile of need and services Introduction This is a selective statistical profile of needs and services in the Hyde, Hattersley & Longdendale area, this is one of four areas chosen as a basis from which future integrated services for children, young people and their families will be delivered. The other areas are Ashton-under-Lyne: Denton, Droylsden & Audenshaw and Stalybridge, Mossley & Dukinfield. Companion profiles of these other areas are also available. This profile has a focus on data that has relevance to children and families rather than other community members (e.g. older people). The data selected is not exhaustive, rather key indicators of need are selected to help produce an overall picture of need in the area and offer some comparisons between localities (mainly wards) within the area. Some commentary is provided as appropriate. It is expected that the profile will aid the planning and delivery of services. The profile has two parts: Part 1 focuses on the presentation of basic need data, whilst Part 2 focuses on services. The top three categories of the new occupational classification are ‘Managers & Senior Officials; Professionals’ and Associate Professional & Technical’ (hatched at the top of the graph on right) Tameside as a whole comes 350 th out of 376 in the country for Professional; and bottom in Greater Manchester for all three categories

    KEY DECISION NOTICE SERVICE AREA: ECONOMIC GROWTH, INVESTMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY SERVICE Asset and Investment Partnership Management SUBJECT MATTER: PRIORITY SCHOOLS BUILDING PROGRAMME - FLOWERY FIELD PRIMARY SCHOOL DECISION: It is DETERMINED that: i. approve the proposal to expand Flowery Field Community Primary School by increasing the capacity of the school from 420 pupils to 630 pupils from September 2014; ii. to confirm that the capacity of the maintained nursery on the site will be 39 full time equivalent places (78 part time places); and iii. approve the allocation of £600,000, from the capital programme, to provide for additional demountable classrooms which may be needed if the project to rebuild the schools is delayed or stopped and also £80,000, contribution towards the cost of the proposed expanded nursery. Any expenditure which is not required will be retained for reallocation to other school capital investment schemes.
