UPDATE ON BSF The Directors of Children’s Services and Corporate Resources submitted a joint report that updated members on the implications of the Bolton BSF programme being stopped by the Secretary of State for Education, together with the latest position on the Academies programme. The Secretary of State had announced that the BSF programme would be discontinued on the 5th July, 2010 with immediate effect. In the main, any authorities that had reached ‘financial close’ would be allowed to continue. A copy of the Secretary of State’s letter to local authorities and the latest DFE guidance note were attached as appendices and the implications were as follows:- Bolton St Catherine’s Unaffected Academy Essa Academy Unaffected Kearsley Academy Academy - for discussion Bolton Muslim Girls School Stopped Ladybridge High School Stopped Little Lever Specialist Stopped Language College Rumworth Special School Stopped Sharples School Stopped Smithills Stopped Westhoughton High Stopped Whilst Bolton had reached financial close on the LEP and the ICT managed Service it had not received final approval to its Outline Business Case and the programme was therefore stopped as financial close on this aspect was deemed by the Government as having not been fulfilled. It also appeared that little regard had been made to the integrated nature of the joint programme and the significant liabilities that would now face the Council and Blackburn with Darwen.Consequently, clarification had been sought that due consideration had been given. Furthermore, following discussions with PFS the Council had submitted a formal letter of appeal. Concern was expressed that the contractual position reached with regard to the ICT Managed Service would not be included as part of the guarantee. Consequently, an urgent meeting to discuss this and other aspects of the decision had been sought. Discussions were also being undertaken with LEP and Blackburn with Darwen Council as to the legal and financial implications. It had been agreed that the implementation of the Core Services would be Page 2 of 5 Bsfpdgjuly09.doc 3 delayed until November, 2010.If schools sought to withdraw from the ICT contract this could lead to significant costs which were being quantified. The announcement indicated that the St Catherine’s Academy and Firwood Project would proceed and formal notification had been received from PfS that the Final Business Case for the project had been approved. The Kearsley Academy was still on target to open its existing premises with effect from 1st September 2010. However, the new academy building at Kearsley was flagged ‘for discussion’. The sponsors, in collaboration with the Council, had provided the Department for Education with further information and it was anticipated that a decision would be made on whether the project continued by the end of July ,2010. The Secretary of State had indicated the Government’s intentions to make significant capital available for investment in schools and had suggested that schools that had missed out on the BSF monies may be in a favourable position to benefit from this investment. The details of this were to be announced as part of the autumn spending review. It was stressed that the Council would face considerable problems in the medium term relative to capacity in the secondary estate as school rolls rose and significant capital investment would be required to meet these issues. A further report would be submitted to the PDG and Executive Member regarding the staffing implications of the above decisions. The PDG noted the report and the representations to be made to the Secretary of State. 5. PRIMARY CAPITAL PROGRAMME UPDATE The Director of Children’s Services undertook a presentation with respect to the latest position of the primary capital programme as follows :- (a)Phase one – update Clarendon and Church Road (b)Phase two Birth rates; Pupil projections; Potential expansion schemes; Capital funding; and Next steps. Page 3 of 5 Bsfpdgjuly09.doc 4 Members were reminded of the trend of increased birth rates and that the year group reception would be exceeded by 2011 on current admission numbers. It was noted that the birth rates were rising fastest in the central areas of the town and the presentation explained that 2373 extra primary school places where required in the system in the next three years. Consequently, members were apprised of potential expansion schemes which would be subject to discussions with head teachers, governors and ward members in the autumn. With respect to funding the following was highlighted :- 1. Phase one schemes fully funded; 2. Funding expected to continue – may be less per place than previously available; 3. Capital funding must be prioritised to primary school schemes; 4. School capital allocations for 2011 announced in the Autumn; and 5. Announcements normally for three years. The presentation highlighted the next steps as follows :- Detailed site assessments; Phase schemes over 2011-2013;agreements with governors/head teachers; Executive approval; Public consultation; Development and planning process; Phased work summer 2011, subject to funding. The PDG noted the report. 6. PROCUREMENT OF CLARENDON AND CHURCH ROAD The Director of Children’s Services submitted a report that reminded members that it had been agreed to expand both Clarendon and Church Road CP schools to full, two form entry (2FE) schools, each with a planned admission number (PAN) of 60 intake places. It was explained that the existing site at Clarendon was not large enough to allow a new school to be built adjacent to the existing one and it was therefore proposed to acquire additional adjoining parcels of land and to close an adjoining road to enlarge the overall school site in order to provide sufficient Page 4 of 5 Bsfpdgjuly09.doc 5 space to enable a new school to be built. The existing school would continue to be used whilst the new school was constructed and it would then be demolished once pupils had move into the new school building. The site of the existing school building would then be redeveloped as part of the external grounds for the new school. The site identified for a new Church Road CP school related to a parcel of land lying immediately to the south and adjacent to Moss Bank Way, close to the existing school. Members were reminded that as part of the Council’s BSF proposals a Local Education Partnership had been established with Balfour Beatty Education (BBE). Although the BSF proposals had been stopped the LEP remained in existence and would continue to be used by Blackburn with Darwen to deliver its agreed BSF proposals. An opportunity therefore existed to use the LEP to deliver new school development in Bolton. Discussions were therefore taking place with BBE with regard to their ability to deliver these two new primary schools for Bolton. BBE had been asked to provide cost rates for the two new build schools so that these could be assessed in respect of overall value for money. The PDG noted the report. (The meeting started at 4.00pm and finished at 5.10 pm) Page 5 of 5 Bsfpdgjuly09.doc .

  • Impact of Building Schools for the Future Announcement of Monday 5 July 2010
    Impact of Building Schools for the Future announcement of Monday 5 July 2010 1. This list sets out the impact on schools of the announcement on Building Schools for the Future (BSF) made by the Secretary of State for Education on Monday 5 July 2010. It has been produced by Partnerships for Schools (PfS) after validation at senior level in Local Authorities and rigorously checked by the Department for Education, including by making telephone contact with every Local Authority listed and with all affected Academy sponsors. 2. This process of checking has been necessary because of the complexity of the BSF process, to ensure the accuracy of this list and, in particular, because, to date, PfS has collected data from Local Authorities about BSF schools as they progressed. Rather than micromanaging individual schools, PfS has relied on Local Authority-level information. 3. All Local Authorities which were participating in BSF are listed, plus those who have had one school pathfinders or academies built or being built through the Partnerships for Schools Academies Framework. That is 102 Local Authorities out of a total of 152. And every school which was included within a Local Authority project is listed and is categorised as either ‘open’, ‘unaffected’, ‘for discussion’ or ‘stopped’. 1592 schools are listed in total. 159 are categorised as ‘open’, 547 as ‘unaffected’, 151 as ‘for discussion’ and 735 as ‘stopped’. 4. For simplicity, and because large numbers of pupils cross constituency boundaries to attend school, this list does not provide a breakdown of schools by constituency. 5. There are many examples of Local Authorities in this list having schools in more than one of these categories.
