  • Report of the Assistant Director Education School Improvement to the Meeting of the Children’S Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee to Be Held on 15 April 2014
    Report of the Assistant Director Education School Improvement to the meeting of the Children’s Services Overview and Scrutiny Committee to be held on 15 April 2014. Subject: AY Sport in School Summary statement: This report outlines the national and local policy context for PE and Sport in schools over the last few years and how schools and the local Authority have responded collectively to these changes. Director: Paul Makin, Portfolio: Assistant Director Education and School Children and Young People Improvement Report Contact: Overview & Scrutiny Area: Phone: (01274) 385676 Children’s Services E-mail: [email protected] 1. SUMMARY 1.1 This report outlines the national and local policy context for PE and Sport in schools over the last few years and how schools and the local Authority have responded collectively to these changes. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 In 2010 the Department for Education (DfE) announced that the National Strategy for PE and School Sport was to be discontinued and that any associated national funding would cease by July 2012. Some of this grant aid was later reinstated to fund a network of School Games Organisers although at a reduced level. For Bradford this reduced the grant aid from £1.5M per annum to £120,000 per annum. In Bradford, the nationally funded School Games Organiser network comprises five School Games Organisers, each providing three days per week of support to school games activity plus other related initiatives. The grant payable to each of the five local partners is circa £24,000 per year. The activity of three of the five School Games Organisers has been enhanced due to local initiatives with financial support from individual school budgets.

  • Dixons Trinity Academy Author: Department for Education (Dfe)
    Title: Dixons Trinity Academy Author: Department for Education (DfE) Impact Assessment – Section 9 Academies Act Duty Section 9 of the Academies Act 2010 places a duty upon the Secretary of State to take into account what the impact of establishing the additional school would be likely to be on maintained schools, Academies and institutions within the further education sector in the area in which the additional school is (or is proposed to be) situated. Any adverse impact will need to be balanced against the benefits of establishing the new school. Background Dixon Trinity Academy is a co-educational secondary school proposed to open on the same site as the Dixons Music Primary. It will initially admit 112 pupils into Year 7 in 2012, reaching 720 pupils at full capacity by 2018. Dixons Trinity Academy will be run by the Dixons City Academy Trust. The Trust runs two existing secondary Academies in Bradford. Dixons City Academy is an 11-18 school. It was rated outstanding by Ofsted at its last inspection in 2011 and is heavily oversubscribed. The Trust also sponsored the conversion of Dixons Allerton Academy in 2009. The Trust plans to open both Dixons Trinity Academy and a new primary Free School (Dixons Music Primary) on the same site in the BD5 area of Bradford in September 2012. As part of their consultation, the Trust wrote to the Local Authority, local schools, families and other interested parties about Dixons Music Primary and Dixons Trinity Academy. They also used their website to release new information as it became available, for example on the location and site of the two schools, and held an open public meeting.
