  • SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL Cabinet Report 7
    SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL Cabinet Report 7 Report of: Sonia Sharp ______________________________________________________________ Date: 4th August 2010 ______________________________________________________________ Subject: Improving sports and play facilities and green spaces in Sheffield through investing part of the Chaucer School capital receipt ______________________________________________________________ Author of Report: Kate Lewis Sport Strategy Adviser 0114 2506730 ______________________________________________________________ Summary: As part of the rebuilding of Chaucer School and the regeneration of the Chaucer area, part of the capital receipt generated must be reinvested in facilities for sports, play and green space. This paper sets out proposals to invest £4.96m of the Chaucer School capital receipt in improving sports facilities for community use at Chaucer School and 9 other secondary school sites by 2012 and in active playgrounds for 25 primary schools local to Chaucer by 2011. The proposals will draw down an additional £775k of available matched funding. Value for money will also be enhanced by combining works on secondary school sites with works already planned under Building Schools for the Future. The proposals seek to maximise the benefits of this significant opportunity to improve play, sports and green space facilities for Sheffield people both in the immediate Chaucer area and more widely. Reason for Recommendation: Implementing the proposals in this paper offers a cost-effective means of furthering the following City of Opportunity objectives: - to position schools as community hubs through wider community use; - to promote participation in sports as part of the ‘Lighting the Flame for Sport 2009 - 2011’ Strategy and the Sheffield and Hallamshire FA 2018 World Cup Legacy strategy; - to promote strong communities through establishing new community sports clubs; 1 - to widen the availability of positive activities for children and young people; and - to promote good health and fitness and reduce obesity.

  • URN Institution Name 143129 Phoenix Academy 142905 South
    University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag All schools on this list meet the requirements for the University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag. The Institution Contextual Flag is given to all institutions whose data indicates that they perform in the bottom 40% nationally for KS5 results reported by the Department for Education each year. We use the average point school per entry and where data is not available, we use KS4 result, if available. In order to make this more reliable we look at data over a three year period to see if they are low performing for at least two out of the last three years. In cases where an Institution is flagged, but subsequently closes, the flag will be retained and the institution will continue to appear on the list. We use the Institution supplied by you in your UCAS application (the UCAS centre or Last Institution) to identify whether it has a Contextual Flag. Please note: independent schools are not included, neither do we have data from government agencies in Scotland and Northern Ireland and therefore these cannot be given a flag. Similarly, there may be schools or colleges which have recently changed name, status or have merged and this has resulted in no data being reported by the Department of Education , in these instances we will not be able to assess the Institution for a Contextual Flag.
