Closure of Toftstead Primary School, Amber Hill Report Reference: 1.0 Executive/Executive Councillor Open Report on behalf of Peter Duxbury, Executive Director - Children's Group Mrs P A Bradwell, Executive Councillor for Children's Report to: Services including Post 16 Education Date: 17 June 2010 Proposal to discontinue Toftstead Primary School, Subject: Amber Hill Decision Reference: 01741 Key decision? Yes Summary: This report seeks to advise the Executive Councillor on making a decision regarding the proposed closure of Toftstead Primary School, Amber Hill. This proposal is being made in the context of very low current and projected pupil numbers in the area leading to an irreversible deficit budget as well as serious concern over the quality of education the school is able to offer its pupils. Falling rolls have meant that the school has been unable to sustain the number of pupils necessary to generate a budget sufficient to maintain the standard of education all children deserve. The school, supported by the Local Authority school improvement partner (CfBT), have explored options to maintain the viability of the school including federation. The Governing Body requested that the Local Authority (LA), the decision maker, co-ordinate consultation on the future of Toftstead Primary School and subsequently the LA has consulted on the proposal to close the school in accordance with the Education and Inspections Act 2006 (EIA 2006) and the guidance of the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), now the Department for Education (DfE). This proposal would address the issues surrounding a primary school population in decline in recent years with no sign of recovery, in an area where there are other appropriate schools in more densely populated areas which have sufficient capacity to accommodate displaced pupils. The LA considers this proposal to be the best solution to addressing and meeting the long term educational and social needs of local children and educational provision in the area. It reinforces the priorities in the Children and Young People’s Plan and supports the Council’s aim of ensuring that as many children as possible can reach their full potential. Recommendation(s): The Executive Councillor is recommended to approve the proposal to discontinue Toftstead Primary School with effect from 31 August 2010. Page 1 Alternatives Considered: 1. The Executive Councillor is recommended to approve the proposal to close Toftstead Primary School with effect from 31 August 2010. Advantages The advantages are set out in the body of the report against each of the decision-making criteria that the Executive Councillor must consider. • pupils will receive a more rounded education in larger local schools (many of which are still small rural schools) • greater social interaction will be possible compared to a very small school • will enable funding to be distributed more evenly across other primary schools and will contribute to the future sustainability of other local primary schools • promotes potential improvement of standards and diversity with a more balanced proportion of SEN pupils within mainstream provision Disadvantages The disadvantages are set out in the body of the Report against each of the decision-making criteria that the Executive Councillor must consider. • the closure of an existing small rural primary school. • the loss of a site for educational purposes and the consequent impact on the community (unless the LA can find an alternative community use). • a number of pupils may have to travel further and this may potentially increase transport costs although this effect is expected to be minimal in the long term. A significant proportion of local children already choose to travel to alternative schools, and some of the children attending the school have to travel further than they would if they were attending their nearest school. 2. Reject the proposal to discontinue Toftstead Primary School and the school would therefore remain open. Advantages • retains a site within the village of Amber Hill for educational purposes and also as a community focus. • would enable children living within the village to walk to their local school without the need for transport. Page 2 Disadvantages • the low pupil numbers will potentially lead to one class covering all year groups in an attempt to reduce costs and there are therefore concerns over the quality of education it would be possible to provide and the development of the children on roll. These pupils will inevitably receive a less rounded education with less social interaction than those benefiting from schools with larger year groups and less cross year group classes. This will limit the range of opportunities available for pupils whereas larger schools can provide a wider and diverse curriculum and better opportunities for the children to progress and meet their full potential. • there will remain an unacceptable level of surplus places (in September it is likely that the number on roll at the school will be 23 ie 82 surplus places and a surplus capacity of 78%). The DfE and the Audit Commission highlight any school with more than 25% and 30 surplus places as a cause for concern. • budgets will reduce as a result of low pupil numbers and premises costs will escalate making it increasingly difficult to maintain ageing buildings with reduced funding. • the school is not financially viable in the short or long term without additional pupils, and will move into a deficit budget during this financial year leading to a significant five figure deficit in the following year and an increasing overspend in subsequent years. Schools are not legally allowed to set a deficit budget without a business plan showing how the situation will be reversed. • continues a disproportionate distribution of public funding. The current funding formula already offers greater financial support for small schools through the block allocation. • the school will continue to remain vulnerable given the current low pupil numbers and the very low projected primary aged pupils in the local area. • could be detrimental to the future sustainability of other local primary schools • continues a disproportionate distribution of SEN requirements within mainstream provision when the total number on roll at the school is so low. • federation options have already been pursued to enable the school to continue and provide the chance to turn round the school, but these have not proved to be a successful solution. Page 3 Reasons for Recommendation: • To comply with the wishes of the Governing Body who see no other option than closure if pupil numbers do not increase – the Governing Body believe that there is the potential for greater pupil numbers as outlined in the ‘Business case for continuation of the school’ which has been put forward and is looked at in more detail later in the report, but this assumes that if the school were to remain open then children would enrol from other schools. • A changing rural population age profile in recent years has resulted in a continuing trend towards lower numbers of primary age pupils in small rural communities. Rural areas such as Amber Hill continue to be adversely affected by low birth rates and an ageing population. There are no longer sufficient pupil numbers in the area for a viable school to remain educationally, socially and financially sustainable. • It is projected that the school will enter a deficit budget during this financial year without reducing teaching staff. This would lead to a significant five figure deficit next year with an increasing overspend in subsequent years. It will not be possible to generate the budget sufficient to maintain the standard of education all children deserve. • To reduce any detrimental effect on educational standards that can potentially occur at schools with very low numbers on roll. To keep the school open would mean children continuing to attend a very small school and consequently placing greater demands on a smaller number of staff to adequately deliver the curriculum. There will be no contracted qualified teaching staff at the school from September 2010 other than the Head Teacher who would have to be a full time teacher. The LA has been informed that at the time of this report being published, subject to formal confirmation, the Head will be resigning to accept a new position from 1st September 2010. This could potentially leave the school with no qualified teachers at the school. The governors would have to recruit a teacher for September if the school were to remain open, and possibly also a new Head Teacher. In the short term cover would need to be found while the recruitment process took place. • To enable pupils to receive a more rounded education in a larger school offering greater social interaction, and to provide the minimum curriculum requirements to meet student aspirations and provide more viable group sizes of similar aged pupils to stimulate learning. • To reduce the incidence of teaching several year groups in one class and in groups that involve teaching across more than one Key Stage. To keep the school open, the low numbers on roll would potentially require a school organisation based on teaching all year groups within one class and this is generally not supported by parents or the LA. • To reduce surplus capacity but still provide sufficient places to meet local needs and parental preference. This decrease in surplus capacity contributes to ensuring the provision of sustainable schools across the county allowing future Page 4 investment to be used more effectively to support schools in raising standards. • To enhance the future sustainability of the remaining primary schools in the locality. To keep the school open may threaten the sustainability of other schools in the locality. Ensuring sustainability is vital in that it has an impact on recruiting and retaining staff of a high calibre and also attracting future investment.

  • How to Search for Parish Registers
    Searching the Website for Parish Registers How to find a baptism, marriage or burial register on the Lincs to the Past website. In the examples below we shall be using the parish of Scotton. To find Parish Registers it is best to use the Advanced Search facility. Click on the Advanced Search tab on the main header bar. You will then see the Advanced Search facility. In the “With the exact phrase” box, enter the name of the parish, “par” and “1” (Scotton par 1, in our example - it is not case sensitive). A full list of parish names is appended to this Guide. Ensure that ‘Records’ results format has been selected (i.e. do not click on ‘Images’) and click on Search. Alternatively, if you know the specific parish register you need, you can enter that in the “With exact phrase”. For example, for SCOTTON PAR/1/2 enter Scotton Par 1 2 (do not use hyphens or slashes, instead insert spaces between the numbers) Be aware that some place names such as Bourne appear in a number of other parish names. In these instances, you will also get results for other places with Bourne in their name such as Thurlby by Bourne or Morton by Bourne. To get around this problem you can type the words you wish to exclude in the “Without the Words” box (e.g. Thurlby Morton). Selecting registers and displaying images from search results The hitlist will give details of all the parish registers found, including type of register, covering dates, and reference. Scroll down the search results to find the record in which you are interested.
