4 PREFACE

Southend on Sea Borough Council, all Southend schools, partner agencies and children and young people themselves aim to secure continuous improvement across the key areas of:

 Improving Children’s health and wellbeing,  Keeping young people safe and protected from harm,  Supporting vulnerable children and families,  Improving children’s educational attainment and future prospects.

This Data Supplement is to give a clear analysis of demography, the organisation of school places, and the need to add, remove, relocate or otherwise re-organise school places. No consultation is required and the Supplement’s publication is for information only. An electronic copy of the Data Supplement is available on the Southend-on-Sea Borough Council website.

Significant pupil number changes over recent years

In 2010/11, the birth rate in Southend peaked at 2,289. Numbers fluctuated over the following five years with a small overall drop, (see figure eleven on page nineteen) with some areas of the borough seeing increases. Since 2015/16 the reduction in the total number of births in the borough has continued in line with national trends.

Since 2014/15 the overall primary numbers have increased steadily up to 15,135 in 2018/19, as the higher birth rates fill the primary schools year on year (see figure twelve on page nineteen). Forecasts indicate that these higher numbers will start to reduce from 2019/20.

11-16 year old numbers had been declining, however from September 2015 this trend reversed as the first of the recent higher primary numbers reached year seven. From September 2018, the forecasted year seven numbers show a significant increase for at least three years before leveling off at the higher number. (See figure nineteen on page twenty-six).

Post-16 numbers in school sixth forms have declined since 2014/15 in line with the decrease in year 11 numbers. Forecasted numbers indicate that this trend will start to reverse from September 2019 and gradually increase over the next five years (see figure twenty-seven on page thirty-one).

Pupil Mobility trends (defined as the total movement in and out of schools by pupils other than at the usual times of joining and leaving) are monitored annually. The DfE October 2018 data for all schools in Southend showed a 6% mobility factor across primary and secondary phases. Figures six and twenty on pages fifteen and twenty-six show the individual school data for the last three years.

5 There are currently 676 pupils attending the borough’s four special schools and three areas of alternative provision (see figure thirty on page thirty-six).

All data has been presented to comply with Data Protection Regulations.

DEMOGRAPHIC AND OTHER FORECASTING DATA

Southend on Sea Borough Council is a Unitary Authority, set up in April 1998, providing education to children living in a densely populated urban area. The 2011 census showing a total population of over 173,700 residents. Current information indicates this figure has increased to approximately 181,800.

In January 2019 29,816 children attended schools within the early years, primary, secondary, post-16, special educational needs and alternative provision sectors in Southend, 14,604 females and 15,212 males. A breakdown of this data is shown in figure one below and figure two on page eight. Figure three on page nine shows a map of all schools in the borough.

The year-by-year forecasts published over the last five years have all been within the Department for Education’s acceptable tolerances.

9 1. NURSERY & EARLY YEARS PROVISION

1.1 Existing Provision

The Local Authority (LA) provides three levels of pre-school places across the borough.

15 Hours free childcare for 3 and 4 year olds – All three and four year old children are entitled to 15 hours of early years childcare per week, free at the point of delivery, from the start of the term following their third birthday.

30 Hours free childcare for 3 and 4 year olds – From September 2017 eligible working parents of 3 and 4 year old children can receive up to an additional 15 hours of funded early years childcare a week, on top of the current 15 hours available for 3 and 4 year olds. Eligible families can receive these 30 hours funded education over 38 weeks (or up to 1,140 hours per year).

These places are in schools, pre-schools and playgroups in the private, independent, voluntary and maintained sectors.

15 Hours free childcare for 2 year olds – If a child is aged two and the parent/carer are in receipt of Working Tax Credits or a Qualifying Benefit, they could qualify for up to 15 hours free childcare at a child-minder, nursery or pre-school.

Private Sector Nursery Provision

In the private sector there are 128 providers registered for grant funding. Although private sector providers do not have fixed places, the LA termly headcount in January 2019 indicates that 2,615 children were on roll for varying numbers of sessions. Figure four below shows the numbers and ages of children funded at private providers from January 2015 to January 2019. There is a drop in those taking up private nursery provision and this is a reflection of the dropping birthrate across the borough. The Early Years team are also working to ensure that all those eligible are aware that places are available if they wish to access them.

Nursery Provision in Schools

The current maximum number of full time equivalent places (FTE) in LA maintained nurseries is 472 FTE places. Each FTE place is equal to two half-day sessions so the maximum number of pupils who could access provision is 944. The details of this provision, along with current and historical uptake rates are in figure five below.

1.2 Future Provision

The Early Years Team will continue to monitor the demand for nursery places against availability across all areas of Southend. Where additional places are required they will work with the voluntary, private and school sectors to ensure there are sufficient places in the relevant areas for two to four year olds.

11 2. PRIMARY

2.1 Existing Provision

As at January 2019 the Borough of Southend had a primary school population of 15,135 served by thirty-three schools. There is a range of infant, junior and primary schools: four infant (age 4-7), four junior (age 7-11) and twenty-five primaries (age 4-11). Each infant school shares a site with a linked junior school. A summary of these schools, including their capacities, numbers on roll and surplus places is included in the Primary Schools List in figure seven on page sixteen.

Schools vary in size from yearly intakes of 30 up to 150 pupils (1 to 5 forms of entry). The borough has a high percentage of large primary schools. There are no primary schools designated as small (fewer than 90 pupils). In January 2019 the primary schools were divided into eleven maintained, one voluntary aided, and twenty-one academies. For parents seeking a place for their child at a faith school there are four Catholic Schools and one Church of England School. There are currently no primary Free Schools in Southend.

The borough had a surplus capacity in primary schools of 5.8% based on figures for 2018/19. These places are across all primary year groups and are available for allocation to pupils moving into and around the borough as parents exercise their right to a choice of school where the places exist to allow this. There is an uneven spread of surplus places across the borough and some schools are over their capacity.

Figure eight on page seventeen illustrates the number of primary school children resident in Southend from minority ethnic groups. The table shows that there has been an increase over the last three years. These children are mainly concentrated in the central area of Southend. For many, English is not their first language.

A number of children from outside the borough attend Southend primary schools (see figures nine on page seventeen). The highest numbers are mainly in schools near the borough boundary as parents exercise their right to apply for a place in their preferred non- catchment school when spaces are available.

Due to the closeness in locality of primary schools in the borough there is considerable cross catchment movement of pupils as parents exercise their right to choose their preferred school. Figure ten on page eighteen demonstrates the percentage of primary school pupils against their home address catchment. Whilst there is a good spread, most pupils do not tend to travel out of their geographic cluster.

Pupil mobility is an annual calculation of the total movement in and out of schools by pupils other than at the usual times of joining and leaving. The October 2018 census for primary schools in Southend reported a 7% mobility factor with the highest numbers in the two central areas of the town. This rate has been stable for the last three years. Individual school data is available in figure six on page fifteen.

2.2 Forecasting Influences

The density variations of the boroughs population and primary schools means that forecasting for individual schools can, at times, be challenging. However, the historical pattern of admissions relative to births across five geographical areas of the borough enable the forecasts of future admissions with some degree of accuracy.

Birth numbers provided by the local Registry Office enable the forecasting of pupil numbers entering schools in the borough at reception. Over the past five years, there has been an average 95% correlation between the number of children born in the borough and the number entering maintained education four years later. The number of parents that elect to home educate, access a private education or seek a place further afield are not included in these calculations but are accounted for within the five percent overall loss from birth to admissions.

When forecasting overall numbers expected for admission at reception, Southend uses five geographical school groups, referred to as clusters, that include the faith schools, with each non-faith school having a designate catchment area as part of their subscription criteria. Historical trends can be seen within each cluster of reception numbers against birth numbers. Figure thirteen on page nineteen shows the birth numbers for each geographic cluster over the last five years.

The number of reported births from 2009/10 to 2018/19, the related primary reception numbers and the number of places available are in figure eleven on page nineteen.

In 2010/11, the birth rate peaked at 2,289. A general downward trend with some fluctuations started from 2011/12. The data for 2018/19 indicate a continued drop; however, numbers are only available for the first nine months of the academic year. Confirmation will not be available until the middle of October once the registration window for August births ends.

Figure fifteen on page twenty-one shows the forecasts for admission levels at reception age against current agreed capacities and by area group. The need for places against those available are watched and adjustment made as required.

New housing developments also influence pupil forecasting. A close watch on planning approvals means that information on proposed future developments can be included in the forecast of pupil numbers. Pupil product from housing developments that have a known start of occupation date are included across all year groups. The expected pupil product is calculated on the basis of an average 0.15 of a pupil per new dwelling with two or more bedrooms, spread over five years from the date the dwellings become available for occupation. The pupil product of 0.15 is the historical average of mixed new housing over a period of five years.

A high number of developments are within the central area, which also has the highest density of population and births. Figure sixteen on page twenty-two shows a list of housing developments that includes all dwellings, by the relevant cluster area.

2.3 Future Trends

Areas within the borough see movement as population demographics change, parents/carers move to live near their preferred school, or the popularity of sections of the borough increases. These changes all affect the demand for places at individual schools.

Forecasting is numbers, trends and as much local knowledge as available. Parental preference can change quickly, especially around change of headship or Ofsted Inspection results, leading to additional impacts on forecasts.

Since 2011/12 primary numbers have increased steadily up to a peak of 15,135 in 2018/19 as the higher birth rates, along with population growth, feed into the primary schools. Details of these numbers, along with the next five-year forecasts are in figure twelve on page nineteen.

From September 2019 there will be 2,255 reception places available across the borough. A robust strategy exists to ensure that there is always sufficient places to meet demand, although these are not always located at schools where this demand is greatest.

For planning purposes, the borough's schools are in five geographical clusters. The record of births by cluster shown in figure thirteen on page nineteen illustrates the differing patterns of recorded births across the borough. Figure fourteen on page twenty gives a map showing all primary schools with the non-faith school catchment areas.

Planning applications for housing developments, both large and small, are increasing. Current large developments with planning permission are primarily two and three person apartments and construction is either imminent, underway or near completion Forecasts indicate that the local primary schools have sufficient spaces to take the expected pupil product.

There are also large developments in the planning application phase with unknown start on site dates. The pupil product for these is calculated but not added into the forecasts. Commencement of works will trigger the pupil product inclusion in the forecast data.

Plans are currently underway to expand the number of homes in the borough by a significant number with the first wave expected to be occupied from 2024. Full details of the location, occupation date, size and the number of new homes are not known at present. Monitoring of these developments and future plans are ongoing, as part of the robust strategy, to ensure the appropriate number of places are available to meet demand.

At present the demand for places from new developments and new families moving into existing accommodation outside of the normal round of admissions are being met, but with limited parental choice in some areas of the borough. This has led to a certain mismatch in the geographical location of the demand and the places offered.

Areas of dense housing provision, particularly in the Leigh and two Central Primary Groups, mean that some schools are not able to accommodate all pupils from their catchment areas. The LA works with schools to ensure that all pupils can be offered a place, with as high a percentage as possible being given their first choice.

22 3. SECONDARY

3.1 Existing Provision

Details of all the borough’s secondary schools, including capacity, numbers on roll, and surplus places are in the Secondary Schools List at figure seventeen on page twenty-five.

As at January 2019 the Borough of Southend had a secondary school population (age 11- 16 years) of 10,835 served by twelve medium to large sized schools. Admission numbers vary from five to eleven forms in each year group. These schools offer a diverse range of provision comprising of two single gender catholic schools, four single gender grammar schools, and six non-selective co-education schools. All hold academy status. There are currently no secondary Free Schools in Southend.

Entrance to the four Grammar schools is by eleven-plus selection test. All pupils who pass the test enter a ranking system, by the mark they obtain, with priority given to pupils living within the SS0 to SS9 postcode areas.

Of the 2,071 year-six pupils attending a primary school in the borough in Jan 2018, 14.2% took a place in one of the four grammar schools from September 2018.

Work to narrow pupil achievement gaps where they exist, including where a pupil performs very well in one subject and less well in another, or where a pupil or group of pupils are not performing as well as their peers, is ongoing.

The borough has 6.3% surplus places in secondary schools. This statistic is somewhat misleading however as most of these places are located in only three of the twelve schools. One secondary school has more than the 25% surplus places normally considered excessive by the DfE. As the higher primary numbers move through the secondary schools these surpluses are reducing. A secondary building programme to add 1,200 places over the next five years is underway, with the first new places made available from September 2018. These expansions are reflected in the 2024 forecast data.

Pupil mobility, an annual calculation of the total movement in and out of schools by pupils other than at the usual times of joining and leaving, also influences the location of available places for pupils moving into the borough. The October 2018 census for secondary schools in Southend reported a 4% mobility factor with the highest numbers in the central area schools. Figure twenty on page twenty- six shows Individual school data.

Figure eighteen on page twenty-six details the ethnic background at Southend's secondary schools. As in primary, the percentage of pupils from other ethnic groups has increased slightly over the last three years.

3.2 Forecasting Influences

The transfer of pupils from primary to secondary phases in the borough is complex. Figure twenty-one on page twenty-seven shows the destinations of Southend primary pupils who left year 6 in summer 2018.

Forecast year 7 figures follow the trend of the previous year 6 cohort size supplemented by a number of factors:

 Pupils travel in from Essex principally to attend the grammar and faith schools. Figure twenty-two on page twenty-eight details the statistics on an individual school basis for the last 5 years.

 Pupils from private schools in the borough gain places in the grammar, faith and other secondary schools.

 Pupils also travel from Southend to Rochford and Castle Point. Figure twenty-three on page twenty-eight details the statistics on an individual school basis for the last 5 years.

Figure twenty-four on page twenty-eight shows a summary of the pupil flows over the last 5 years.

Figures twenty-two, twenty-three and twenty-four uses home postcodes of year 7 pupils and identifies those living outside the borough. This represents a slightly different group from those in figure twenty-one on page twenty-seven, which uses the Southend Primary School attended, rather than home address.

3.3 Future Trends

Figure nineteen on page twenty-six details the forecast year-7 admission numbers for 2019/20 to 2023/24 and the total 11-16 aged secondary school populations for this period.

From September 2014 year seven numbers have been increasing as a result of the high primary numbers progressing up into the secondary schools. The numbers are forecast to peak in September 2021. The non-selective schools are taking part in an expansion programme to meet the demand from these increasing numbers.

Plans are currently underway to expand the number of homes in the borough by a significant number with the first wave expected to be occupied from 2024. Full details of the location, occupation date, size and the number of new homes are not known at present. Once available these details, along with current and forecast pupil numbers, will be assessed and further expansions within the secondary phase planned if required. The reducing birth rate is also expected to offset some of the increases these new homes could create.

28 4. POST-16

4.1 Existing Provision

There are three main destinations for Southend students to enter Post-16 education:

Secondary School 6th Forms South Essex College of Further and Higher Education, which now includes facilities from PROCAT Technical College, following their recent merger. SEEVIC College, Thundersley, Castle Point

Figures twenty-five a&b on page thirty show the numbers of Post-16 pupils attending Southend secondary schools. Figure twenty-six on page thirty-one illustrates this data by school year. All but two secondary schools currently offers Post-16 courses.

In January 2018, there were 1,953 year-11 pupils on roll in a Southend secondary school. In January 2019, there were 1,148 pupils in Secondary School Post-16 education. This gives a year 11 to year 12 retention of 58.8%.

From 2014/15 to 2018/19, year twelve numbers have dropped by 13% and overall post-16 pupil numbers have declined by 7.9%. This is the result of lower numbers in Key Stage 4 transferring into Key Stage 5.

The staying on rate from year 11 into year 12 in 2018/19 was 58.8%, a 0.02% drop against 2017/18. The Year 12 to year 13 retention rate was 93.9%.

4.2 Forecasting Influences

Post-16 numbers in school sixth forms have reduced since 2014/15. This trend is forecast to reverse and number increase again from September 2019 as higher 11-16 numbers enter year 12. Figure twenty-seven on page thirty-one shows the actual and forecast data.

4.3 Future Trends

The higher pupil numbers now entering secondary schools will start to impact on Post-16 places from 2020/21. The local authority will liaise with all providers to increase capacity as the need arises.

Figure thirty-five page thirty-eight details the number of children with special needs, both with and without statements, at each of the borough’s mainstream schools split by primary and secondary schools.

5.3 Elective Home Education

The LA aims to engage the parents and children of those home educated by making contact at the point of notification and offering invitations to events where families can share good practice and celebrate learning. Where concerns are identified regarding the quality of learning the LA endeavors to work with the parent/carers to put improvements in place. As of January 2019 there were 179 children registered as receiving elective home education. 22 in early years and key stage one, 60 in key stage two, 46 in key stage three and 51 in key stage four. In addition the LA is aware that a further 90 children also receive education other than at school but have not registered with the LA.

5.4 Children without a School Place

The LA closely monitors all children not on roll at a school or alternative education. It is a top priority of the LA to ensure these pupils secure a school place.

For pupils with previous social, emotional or mental health issues that could create difficulties in finding them a place in a maintained school, the LA and all schools have agreed a Fair Access Protocol. This enables hard to place pupils to gain an appropriate place in a school.

5.5 Medical Tuition by the LA

Alternative tuition is available to children who have been deemed medically or mentally unfit to attend school by a consulting pediatrician or mental health practitioner, in hospital for an extended period, who are in the later stages of pregnancy and not attending school, or who have very young babies. Children who are out of school and are subject to formal direction procedures also receive tuition. In January 2019 seven pupils were receiving medical tuition supplied by the LA, as detailed is figure thirty-four on page thirty-seven.
