It really illustrates the quality of design we have ... every year the standard is improving, and I am proud to support these awards which help ensure high quality design is encouraged in the future.” John Jones, Design Director at Countryside Properties added: “We are delighted to be involved in the competition and particularly excited to see so many buildings that have made a difference to their community.

Rochdale Borough Council Community Secondary Schools
Determination Case reference: ADA3560 Objector: A parent Admission authority: Rochdale Borough Council for community secondary schools in Rochdale Date of decision: 27 June 2019 Determination In accordance with section 88H(4) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998, I do not uphold the objection to the admission arrangements for September 2020 determined by Rochdale Borough Council for community secondary schools in Rochdale. The referral 1. Under section 88H(2) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (the Act) an objection has been referred to the adjudicator by a parent (the objector) about the admission arrangements (the arrangements) for the community secondary schools in Rochdale for September 2020. The objection is that the priority given to children on the basis of the proximity of their homes to the nearest school is unfair to some pupils. 2. The parties to this objection are the objector and Rochdale Borough Council (the local authority). Jurisdiction 3. These arrangements were determined under section 88C of the Act on 25 February 2019 by the local authority, which is the admission authority for the schools. The objector submitted her objection to these determined arrangements on 2 May 2019. I am satisfied the objection has been properly referred to me in accordance with section 88H of the Act and it is within my jurisdiction. 4. Regulation 22 of The School Admissions (Admission Arrangements and Co- ordination of Admission Arrangements) (England) Regulations 2012 says “For the purposes of section 88H(5)(d), where the adjudicator has determined an objection to the admission arrangements of a school or Academy, no objection may be referred to the adjudicator raising the same or substantially the same issues in relation to those admission arrangements within 2 years of the decision by the adjudicator.” Determination REF3486 made by the adjudicator in December 2018 considered similar issues to those in this objection.

Greater Manchester in Context 11
Contents Introduction 3 Using the Families of Schools document 7 Greater Manchester in context 11 Family pages 16 Contextual family pages 38 Annex 1 – What it all means: footnotes and explanations 43 Annex 2 – School contact details 49 2 Introduction 1. Families of Schools: the fifth edition The first four editions of Families of Schools for Greater Manchester Secondary schools were well received. We have been working with schools and education professionals across Greater Manchester to develop this fifth edition for 2011. As with previous years, this edition includes GCSE results with and without English and maths, a Contextual Value Added (CVA) measure and contextual families focusing on English as an Additional Language (EAL) and mobility. 2. How have families been grouped? Schools are grouped into families based on an average of prior attainment data and context data. Prior attainment data is the Average Key Stage 2 (KS2) Point Score (APS) for all pupils in Year 7 to Year 11 matched to Key Stage 4 data. Context data includes: • Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI) data, calculated by linking individual pupil postcodes to IDACI data and compiling an average figure for each school 1. • The proportion of pupils eligible to receive Free School Meals (FSM). • The IDACI and FSM school averages are combined to give an overall indicator for the School Environment (SE). • The percentage of pupils whose first language is known or believed to be other than English (EAL). • A mobility measure, defined as the percentage of pupils in Year 10 or Year 11 who have joined the school within the last 2 years (L2Y).

Alcohol, Self Esteem and Aspirations 2
Alcohol, Self-Esteem and Aspiration: Exploring the context of young peoples’ sexual health risk taking Kate Kennedy and Mark Limmer October 2007 Risky drinking and sexual behaviour continues to be seen as a particular problem for those working around teenage pregnancy, alcohol and sexual health and this reflects broader public health concerns in relation to rates of sexually transmitted infection (STI) and binge drinking. This study explores alcohol and sexual health and the links between them for 14-15 year olds. Building upon knowledge gained in the 2004 survey (Redgrave and Limmer, 2005) the scope of the study has broadened to investigate the links between alcohol, sexual health and self-esteem in this group; as well as looking in more detail at the impact of Sex and Relationships Education and other sources of information on the knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of young people in relation to sex and alcohol. Questionnaires completed by over 80% of Rochdale’s Year 10 pupils highlight patterns in knowledge, attitudes and behaviour in addition to allowing comparisons with the 2004 data. Focus groups reveal the way young people perceive their Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) in school, and the informal sources of information accessed by this age group. Vulnerable groups are identified based on important differences linked to gender, ethnicity, aspiration and risk taking behaviour. Key Findings Alcohol Sex There have been significant improvements in One quarter of the sample reported having alcohol knowledge scores since 2004 had sexual intercourse – less than in the 90% of white young people have ever drunk 2004 survey alcohol and the majority of these have been Early sexual intercourse is associated with drunk at some point; however the figures show low self-esteem and low aspirations in both fewer young people drinking and being drunk genders than in 2004 Most young people know where to get There is a cohort of young people who can be condoms from and why they should be used, seen as problematic drinkers.

Report of the Secondary Place Planning Group on the Need for Extra Year 7 Admission Places Between 2015-2019
EARLY HELP and SCHOOLS REPORT OF THE SECONDARY PLACE PLANNING GROUP ON THE NEED FOR EXTRA YEAR 7 ADMISSION PLACES BETWEEN 2015-2019 November 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There is a need to consider providing additional secondary places across the Borough from September 2015 onwards. The Local Authority has set up a Stakeholder Working Group to consider this and to formulate proposals for public consultation. This Report follows the end of that consultation and puts forward proposals to meet the increased demand for extra Year 7 Secondary School places in the period to September 2019 The number of children wanting Year 7 places in the Borough’s secondary schools will rise from 2,263 this school year to an estimated 2,819 by September 2019. The level of demand varies across the Borough, and in some areas growth will continue beyond 2020. The focus of the report covers the period to September 2019. The report puts forward a number of proposals to make sure that there are enough places to meet the minimum demand as well as enough extra places to allow for parental preference and future within year movements. The view of the Working Group is that extra places can be provided by expansion on current school sites. Where applicable, the implementation of proposals is subject to the support of own admission authority schools, their Trusts and Diocesan Authorities.
