School Organisation Plan 2010-2013

Introduction

The Local Authority has a statutory duty to ensure that sufficient school places are available within their area for every child of school age whose parents wish them to have one, to promote high educational standards, to ensure fair access to educational opportunity, and to help fulfil every child’s educational potential. It must also ensure there are sufficient schools in their area and promote diversity and parental choice.

This School Organisation Plan brings together information from a range of sources and sets out the issues the Borough will face in meeting its statutory duties for providing school places up to 2013 and beyond. The Plan includes present and predicted future pupil numbers on roll, together with information about birth rates, school capacity, pupil mobility, pupil ethnicity and new housing.

The Plan analyses changes in the number of school places available over the last year, and it suggests where other changes may be necessary in the future. The Plan also summaries the Local Authority’s policies on school organisation and the new procedures introduced by government for making changes such as opening, closing or enlarging schools.

The School Standards and Framework Act 1998 placed a duty on local authorities to publish a School Organisation Plan. The first Plan was published in 1999 and contained, amongst other information, details of the number of children on roll at every school and projections for future years. Such information is essential for the planning of school places to meet any changes in demand in future years. This information is also important for the governing bodies of schools to assist in fulfilling their role for the strategic management of the school.

In 2003 the Regulations were amended such that local authorities were no longer required to publish a School Organisation Plan every year. Following the publication of the 2003 Plan it was only necessary to publish a new Plan every three years.

The Children Act 2004 removed entirely the requirement to publish a School Organisation Plan.

Whilst there is no requirement to produce a School Organisation Plan, it is considered good practice to continue to produce a Plan for two key reasons:

3

 Swindon is a Borough which is experiencing rapid growth and this is having a significant impact on school place planning. Having an up to date School Organisation Plan provides an essential framework for effective planning within this context;  An updated plan also provides key partners, in particular schools, with trends and data to inform their future decision-making.

It is the intention to update this Plan every three years and refresh the data annually.

This document is the Local Authority’s School Organisation Plan 2010-2013.

Duty to respond to representations from parents

The Local Authority has a new duty to respond to any representations from parents who are not satisfied with the provision of schools in the local area. This could be regarding the size, type, location or quality of school provision. Any parent wishing to express a view about the provision of school places in Swindon should contact the Local Authority as detailed above.

National Context and Impact of Recent Legislation

Education and Inspections Act 2006

This Act has changed the way in which decisions are made about proposals to open, close or enlarge schools. The body that made many of these decisions since 1999 has been abolished. In many cases it will now fall to the Local Authority to make these decisions.

4

The changes are summarised as follows:

(a) New Schools – Competition Arrangements

If there is a need for a new school, the Local Authority must normally hold a competition to decide who should set up and run it. The competition arrangements operate as follows:

 The Local Authority issues a Public Notice explaining why the school is required. The Notice describes the size and age range of the school and invites proposals for the new school from any interested person or group. The Local Authority might decide to submit a proposal of its own into the competition  The Local Authority must publish all the proposals and hold at least one public meeting where the proposals can be discussed  If the Local Authority has not entered the competition, it will determine which proposal should win the competition  If the Local Authority has entered the competition it cannot also be the judge. In this case the Office of the Schools Adjudicator will determine the successful proposal.

(b) School Reorganisations

The Local Authority or a Governing Body may publish proposals for other changes such as closing, amalgamating or altering the capacity of schools. As indicated above, the Education and Inspections Act 2006 abolished the School Organisation Committee (SOC) and the Local Authority is now responsible for making many of these decisions. In limited circumstances, there will be the right of appeal to the School Adjudicator.

(c) Consultation

The new arrangements have not changed the requirement to consult with people likely to be affected by any change. The new legislation still requires full consultation to take place, particularly with parents, staff and governors and guidance has been produced by the Department for Children, Schools and Families for decision makers to take into account.

More information on competitions, closing, amalgamating or altering the capacity of schools is available on the Department for Children, Schools and Families School Organisation website www.dcsf.gov.uk/schoolorg.

Forthcoming Legislation

During the development of the School Organisation Plan there have been many changes to the national picture. There are two key legislative changes to school organisation within the Academies Act and the introduction of Free Schools. At the time of publishing this plan the full details relating to these two

5

key areas have not been fully released, however, the direction from the new Government is as follows:

Academies Act

The purpose of the Act is to enable more schools to become academies and give them the freedoms and flexibilities they need to continue to drive up standards.

The Government's vision is to create a world-beating school system in which every parent has access to a good school and all pupils achieve high standards. The central aims are to raise standards for all children, while narrowing the gap between the attainment of the most and least advantaged.

Free Schools

Free Schools are all-ability state-funded schools set up in response to parental demand. The most important element of a great education is the quality of teaching and Free Schools will enable excellent teachers to create schools and improve standards for all children, regardless of their background.

Under the new plans it will become much easier for charities, universities, businesses, educational groups, teachers and groups of parents to get involved and start new schools. Ministers are working right across Government to remove the red tape which can prevent new schools from setting up from planning laws, to the Department’s own school premises rules.

Local Context

Swindon has good accessibility to London and the South West, which has resulted in the strong economic success of the town. The influence and economic advantages of its geographical location have enabled Swindon to prosper and for the town to continue to develop in the future. Swindon’s location and situation is relatively unconstrained by environmental features, which would allow the town to accept appropriate levels of additional development, subject to necessary investment in infrastructure.

The Regional Spatial Strategy (RSS) and the Regional Economic Strategy underline the role of Swindon as a regional economic driver. The draft RSS for the South West 2026 proposes significant housing growth at Swindon for the next twenty years, involving 34,200 dwellings in the Borough plus an additional 3,000 dwellings as urban extensions to Swindon in . Population projections forecast a rise of around a third of the current population, from 186,000 to 250,000 by 2026.

Swindon has consistently delivered high housing numbers: 1,943 dwellings were built in the Borough in 2007/08 and 968 dwellings were built in 2008/09 6

(Source: Swindon Borough Housing monitoring report). The major areas of actual or proposed growth in Swindon are:

 Completion of the Northern Development Area (approximately 9,500 dwellings)  The Wichelstowe Development to the south of Old Town and north of the M4 motorway (approximately 4,500 dwellings)  The Eastern Development Area to the east of the A419 between South Marston and Wanborough (approximately 12,000 dwellings)  Commonhead which is proposed to be between the A4259 and Junction 15 of the M4 motorway (approximately 750 dwellings)  Tadpole Farm, Pry Farm, Ridgeway Farm and Moredon Bridge to the North of West Swindon and wrapping around the Northern Development (approximately 5,000 dwellings)  Approximately 1,200 dwellings in and around the rural areas of the Borough  Approximately 3,000 dwellings within the Town Centre  Approximately 7,000 dwellings in the urban area of Swindon.

Long Term School Place Planning Study

Swindon Borough Council commissioned Cambridge Education Associates (CEA) to undertake a study to identify Swindon’s long-term strategic education needs to 2026. The study is referred to throughout this document and a copy is available at www.swindon.gov.uk.

The study provides recommendations for the need for school places in Swindon for the next 20 years as a component of the new Community Strategy. The major focus was on the predictions made regarding the number of children and their needs resulting from the expected developments up to 2026.

CEA found that the Authority’s own methodology provided a sound basis for long term planning.

Links to Other Plans

The School Organisation Plan links a number of Swindon’s other plans and strategies as well as national strategies and legislation.

A significant piece of recent legislation is the Children’s Act resulting in the Every Child Matters agenda and the focus on improving the outcomes for children and young people in five key areas, as set out below:

1. Being Healthy 2. Staying Safe 3. Enjoying and Achieving 4. Making a Positive Contribution 5. Achieving Economic Well-being 7

Better outcomes depend on the integration of universal services with targeted and more specialised help and on bringing services together around the needs of the child and family. The Local Authority has been working to achieve these outcomes through integrated services and co-location, and these also have implications for the School Organisation Plan.

Related to this are the following local plans and strategies:

The Children and Young People’s Plan is an overarching plan for Children Services and its partners. The Children and Young People’s Plan has, within the vision, clear priorities for high quality and accessible services including schools. The plan sets out the outcomes to achieve in order to meet the five strands of the Every Child Matters Agenda.  Be Healthy  Stay Safe  Enjoy and Achieve  Make a Positive Contribution  Achieve Economic Well-Being

The Community Strategy – A Shared Vision for Swindon 2008 – 2030 sits above the Children and Young People’s Plan and includes the Local Area Agreement priorities. The Community Strategy identifies the significant challenges of growth in the Borough, which this School Organisation Plan aims to address.

All Local Authorities are required to prepare an Asset Management Plan (AMP). Using detailed building assessments this plan should set out the information required and the agreed criteria to be used when prioritising decisions about capital spending on school premises in order to:

 Raise standards of educational achievement;  Achieve best value from the available resources;  Ensure the efficient and effective management of new and existing capital assets.

Whilst the School Organisation Plan provides the overall framework for decisions about the provision of additional school places, the removal of surplus places or the size and organisational designation of schools, the asset management planning process provides detailed information about individual school buildings condition and suitability. Together these plans enable the Local Authority to determine priorities for capital expenditure.

There are also close links between this Plan and the following policies and strategies:

 The Primary Strategy for Change  The Strategy for Change linked to Swindon’s Expression of Interest for Building Schools for the Future 8

 The Local Authority’s School Admissions Policy and Co-ordination Arrangements

Policies and Procedures for School Reorganisation

(a) Amalgamations

The Local Authority has agreed a policy for exploring the amalgamation of infant and junior schools. The Local Authority will consider proposals when two or more of the following criteria or ‘triggers’ apply:

 The standards of pupil achievement and/or welfare of pupils overall would be improved by the proposal  The schools are on the same site or in close proximity to each other.  One or both of the schools currently has surplus capacity of 25% or more, or is projected to reach that point in the foreseeable future  One or both of the Head Teacher posts at the schools has become, or will shortly become, vacant.

The Local Authority considers that amalgamating Infant and Junior schools can strengthen the capacity of both schools to sustain improvement.

Becoming an all-through Primary school offers a number of benefits enabling more effective continuity and a smooth transition to be provided for pupils between Key Stages 1 and 2, with an uninterrupted ‘achievement’ journey and curriculum from age 4-11. An all-through Primary school also brings shared expectations, teaching approaches and common inclusion practices.

A single leadership and management team also enables more effective management systems with a ‘primary’ perspective and easier recruitment of high calibre candidates for senior posts. All-through primary schools offer a larger pool of staff expertise to draw on in terms of the leadership of different subjects in the curriculum, instead of teachers having to cover several areas in the two separate schools. There is also the opportunity for teachers to extend their own expertise by moving between phases and age groups, and through Primary Continuous Professional Development.

Our belief is therefore that all-through primary schools offer more opportunities for flexible teaching arrangements for intervention groups through more efficient use of money and personnel, and a primary school can also make targeted or specialised appointments, taking account of the current skills base.

(b) Surplus Places

The Local Authority will take a number of steps to reduce the overall level of surplus places across Swindon including reducing admission numbers and removing or redesignating accommodation. The detailed position in relation to surplus places in Swindon is explained later in this Plan.

9

A reasonable level of surplus places is set at 8% and 6% respectively for primary and secondary schools. These reflect norms across the country and the expectations of Government and the Audit Commission. They allow more places at primary schools where surpluses are less easy to use since younger children find it more difficult to make their way to schools that are some distance away.

The Local Authority will support schools at an early stage where the level of surplus places gives rise to concerns, to seek a reduction in the number of places. However, there will be circumstances where the above strategies are not sufficient to reduce the level of surplus places in a particular area. In these circumstances the following criteria will be used to identify schools where future action should be explored:

 Schools with 25% surplus capacity as at the annual census  School forecast to have a 25% surplus capacity through a decline in the excepted number of pupils  Communities with a 15% level of surplus capacity which is expected to continue for 5 years.

When schools have been identified through the above criteria, discussions will take place on the appropriate course of action. This will depend on the local context and the circumstances at the individual school. This may, for example, involve a reduction in the admission number for a temporary or permanent period. School closures would be only as a ‘last resort’ where there is clear evidence of a long-term decline in pupil numbers which could result in a school or a group of schools becoming unsustainable if no action is taken.

Planning the level and location of school places that will be required for the future will be a major challenge for all those involved in this process. It is hoped that the Plan will provide the basis for engagement with all interested parties to enable informed decisions to be taken concerning the most appropriate pattern of educational provision required to serve the needs of the children and young people living in the Borough in the future.

Information about the Borough of Swindon

Present School Provision

The table below sets out the range of mainstream school categories in Swindon as at the date of this document. Following the introduction of the competition arrangements within the Education and Inspection Act 2006 (see above), the Local Authority will consider each individual set of circumstances before deciding whether or not to submit a proposal for a Community School in each case or invite alternative proposals from other providers.

Specialist Schools

The opportunity to apply for Specialist School designation has been available to all secondary schools since 1995. Specialist secondary schools are required to develop a particular specialist character and ethos and through that character to raise standards in their specialism and generally across the school. They are also required to become a resource for other schools and their local communities. All of the secondary schools in Swindon have been awarded specialist status:

Federations

The Department for Children, Schools and Families launched the “Your Child, Your Schools, Our Future” White Paper (June 2009), which summarises the challenges and changes that schools now face, and describes reforms that have been made to meet these.

Swindon has identified specifc examples of models of school leadership to facilitate school improvement, build capacity and sustainability for the 21st Century.

All categories of maintained schools, including Voluntary-Aided and Foundation schools, have been able to federate under one governing body if they wish to do so. Schools have also been able to have increased collaborative arrangements with other maintained schools, including joint meetings of governing bodies and joint committees. This initiative is intended to raise standards by encouraging schools to work together to share good practice and ideas for innovation.

The potential benefits of federation include:

 Flexible opportunities for the deployment of staff, including the possibility that a headteacher might run more than one school;  Shared facilities such as ICT and sports facilities;

11

 The co-ordination of the curriculum, teaching and learning strategies, including the opportunity for joint timetabling;  Joint SEN provision and behaviour management.

There is an example of successful federation in Swindon with Rodbourne Cheney Primary School federated with Moredon Primary School.

Swindon Borough Council has responded to the policy document by identifying specific examples of where these models have been successfully adopted in Swindon. The new models of leadership are needed and link to the School Organisation Plan for the following reasons:

 To help achieve the five outcomes of the Every Child Matters agenda  To improve learner achievement in areas  To deliver shared services more efficiently and effectively  To reduce variation in performance across schools  To support schools causing concern  To help resolve Headteacher recruitment issues  To create new opportunities for existing and potential leaders  To share strengths  To deliver outcomes for Swindon’s Strategy for Change and Building Schools for the Future  To improve specialist provision  To address rising or falling rolls  To develop wider, more effective leadership across Children’s Services

Long Term School Place Planning Study

As indicated earlier, Swindon Borough Council commissioned Cambridge Education Associates (CEA) to undertake a study to identify Swindon’s long- term strategic education needs to 2026. The study is referred to throughout this document and a copy is available at www.swindon.gov.uk.

The study concluded initially that the Authority’s methodology provided a sound basis for long-term planning. The draft Regional Spatial Strategy for the South West requires 34,200 new homes to be built at Swindon, and a further 3,000 as extensions to Swindon in Wiltshire. The School Place Planning Study recommends that in order to accommodate the number of pupils that will be generated as a consequence of this growth the following accommodation will have to be provided:

 38 Forms of Entry at primary schools  37 Forms of Entry at secondary schools  New Special Education Needs facilities  New Early Years Facilities  New 14-19 and post 16 facilities

The School Place Planning Study sets out broad areas where these proposed school places would need to be accommodated aligned with the long-term

12

planning strategy. This Plan will keep these requirements under review and up-to-date in accord with planning policy.

A significant proportion of new school places, particularly primary school places, will be provided on-site at new growth areas. Pressure for secondary school places will be most acute when associated with growth areas to the east and west of the town, but also within Swindon’s urban area where smaller scale incremental development will put pressure on both primary and secondary school places.

However, the forecasts contained within this Plan (Information on Areas in Swindon) do not include the impact of growth. Any future planning applications or development proposals must therefore consider their own impact. The longer term issues and implications for each school area are set out throughout the plan.

Early Years Places

A free part time place is available to every three and four year old child. This may be taken at one of the maintained nurseries attached to infant and primary schools or a nursery or pre-school operated by providers in the private and voluntary sector. Places are also offered by accredited childminders.

The Local Authority is required to carry out an audit of the number of children attending early years and childcare settings to ensure there are sufficient places available. The audit was carried out in March 2008. A copy of the assessment is available at http://www.swindon.gov.uk/childcare.

Primary School Places

The table below shows the total capacity of all primary schools in Swindon and the actual pupil numbers for January 2009 and January 2010. Pupil numbers from January 2011 onwards are based on projections generated from live birth captured by the Swindon Primary Care Trust (PCT). Surplus/Deficit is the difference between the capacity and total pupils expected or on roll. The table also compares the live birth rate information against the total of all admission numbers in Swindon.

Chart 1

Overall it is expected that primary numbers will rise in Swindon as a result of the increased number of births and future housing development. It must be noted that the numbers in Table 2 and Chart 1 are based on live births and do not factor in additional housing development. However, in some areas the forecast numbers are declining as detailed in information on areas of Swindon later on in this document.

As mentioned earlier, the Local Authority has developed a Primary Strategy for Change that sets out the long term aims for capital investment linked to raising standards, ICT, Personalised Learning, Every Child Matters and Diversity, Choice and Responsiveness to parents.

Secondary Places

The table below shows the total capacity of all secondary schools in Swindon and the actual pupil numbers for January 2009 and January 2010. Pupil numbers from January 2011 onwards are based on projections generated from historical transfer data at year 7 as set out below and in further detail in information on areas in Swindon later on in this document. Net Surplus is the difference between the capacity and total pupils expected or on roll.

Chart 2

Overall it is expected that secondary numbers will grow in Swindon as a result of future housing development and increased pupil numbers in the primary sector. However, in the short term overall the forecast numbers are declining as shown in the chart above.

As referred to earlier, the Local Authority has submitted an Expression of Interest to the DCSF to be considered for the Building Schools for the Future Programme. The programme’s aim is to transform secondary school provision from ages 11 – 19 and to develop a Strategy for Change with all secondary schools in Swindon.

Special Educational Needs (SEN) Places

The Borough has a wide continuum of special and specialist provision to meet the needs of pupils with SEN. There are three primary and three secondary special schools plus Education Other Than At School (EOTAS) Provision. In addition there are twelve Special Resource Provisions, (SRPs), attached to mainstream schools. The Local Authority has recently created an additional secondary SRP to meet the needs of pupils with Autistic Spectrum Disorder at Greendown School.

The primary Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) School and the entire secondary special schools and are full to capacity. Nine of the twelve SRPs are also full. Lack of capacity in these provisions increases the risk of pupils with some types of SEN having to be placed at expensive out of borough schools.

A review of provision for pupils with Behaviour, Emotional and Social Difficulties, (BESD) is underway. It is likely that this will lead to proposals for a change to provision for pupils with BESD, which will then need to go out to consultation.

15

14-19 and Post 16 Places

The Government set out its vision and long term plans for the delivery of the 14-19 phase of education in its White Paper ‘14-19 Education and Skills’ in Spring 2005, followed by the ‘14-19 Implementation Plan’ published in December 2005. This latter document has been updated in the publication ‘Delivering 14-19 Reform: The Next Steps’, published in October 2008. The Local Authority has the statutory responsibility to deliver the 14-19 Learner Entitlement by 2013, which comprises of an entitlement for young people to have access to:

 All 17 lines of the new Diploma qualifications;  Apprenticeships;  General qualifications (GCSEs, AS and A Levels);  The new Foundation Learning Tier.

The new Learner Entitlement is underpinned by the raising of the participation in learning age for all young people to remain in some form of education, training or employment with training to the age of 17 by 2013 and age 18 by 2015.

The Wiltshire and Swindon Learning and Skills Council are responsible for the provision of education and training beyond the age of 16. The Learning and Skills Council set out the local context for post-16 provision in Swindon in the Annual Plan 2007/08, published in March 2007.

There has been significant growth in the 16-19 age groups and this trend is set to continue until at least 2009. Furthermore, participation at 16 is rising. Longer term, growth in post-16 provision in Swindon is anticipated reflecting planned housing development and population growth.

In Swindon, post-16 learning is dominated by the two general FE colleges, which offer a broad range of courses across all levels and subject areas. There is a small number of Swindon based work based learning providers. The school sixth form sector comprises three 11-18 schools (Ridgeway School, St Joseph’s Catholic College and Uplands School). Both colleges have benefited by extensive capital investment recently and further capital development is planned. and Farleigh College offer provision targeted at learners with specific learning difficulties and disabilities (mainly aspergers syndrome and autism).

Since the publication of the previous School Organisation Plan, additional post-16 places are provided at Swindon Academy. The DCSF has announced that the participation in learning age will be increased so that from 2013 all secondary pupils should remain in full time education or training until the age of 18. Pupil numbers are expected to increase in Swindon. Therefore, Wiltshire and Swindon Learning and Skills Council have been closely involved in the Long Term School Place Planning Study and planning for the Building Schools for the Future in Swindon.

16

The Expression of Interest for Building Schools for the Future is linked in its attention to post-16 provision. In order to rectify this situation, a study of the current range of provision has been commissioned in order to outline options for the future. The study is anticipated by Spring 2010.

Housing Developments There are a significant number of sites in the area, which will result in additional pupils moving into the area. The draft RSS requires Swindon to deliver around 10,000 homes within Swindon’s existing urban area, of which a proportion is anticipated to be within the Churchfields catchment.

Site Number of Dwellings Pipers Way 616

Statutory Proposals The Local Authority has agreed to temporarily admit pupils above the admission number by 26 at Drove Primary School and 15 at Mountford Manor and Oaktree Primary Schools for the 2009/2010 and the 2010/11 academic years. Statutory proposals to establish a permanent expansion of places at Drove Primary School have been brought forward to address the increasing births in the area as indicated in Table 5 above. In addition, a feasibility study has been commissioned to investigate options for meeting the increased demand for primary places. It is expected that the results of the study will be available by spring 2010.

Commentary There is significant pressure on the primary schools in this area the numbers increase dramatically as a result of births from September 2011. The short term requirement is for two additional forms of entry for September 2011 and another for September 2012. As indicated above there will be large developments that will place even greater pressure on places. In the secondary school the trend is for the numbers to decline in the immediate

20

future. However, this is very likely to change as a result of the primary pressures and future housing developments.

Longer Term Issues The School Place Planning Study indicates that beyond 2013 there is likely to be a need for additional primary school places to accommodate new housing development at new school(s). The study also anticipates the need to expand Churchfields and that the catchment is within the area of search for a new central Swindon secondary school. Feasibility work is being undertaken to determine the best location to accommodate these additional places.

Housing Developments There are a significant number of sites in the area, which will result in additional pupils moving into the area. The draft RSS requires Swindon to deliver around 10,000 homes within Swindon’s existing urban area, of which a proportion is anticipated to be within the Commonweal catchment. Development at East Wichel is also within this catchment area.

Site Number of Dwellings Angel Ridge 478 Royal Mead 349

Statutory Proposals The Local Authority and Schools Adjudicator have agreed to bring forward the opening date forward for East Wichel Primary School. The school will open on a temporary basis and admit pupils in the Reception year initially from September 2010. Also, a new school at East Wichel has been approved and established as a community school for September 2011 following the competition arrangements. A feasibility study has been commissioned to investigate options for meeting the increased demand for primary places. It is expected that the results of the study will be available by spring 2010.

Commentary There was a peak in demand for places in this area for September 2009. The expectation is that although the peak will reach a plateau, the housing developments at Angel Ridge and Royal Mead will continue to provide pressure. This area is very closely linked to Area 1; any additional places provided as a result of the demand across the two areas need to be linked. The Commonweal School has consistently provided places above its capacity and it is expected that this trend will continue in the near future. However, the peak in pupils numbers in the primary schools and additional housing developments will increase the demand for places by September 2016.

Longer Term Issues The Commonweal catchment area is within the area of search for a new central Swindon secondary school and additional primary school(s) to accommodate growth. Feasibility work is being undertaken to determine the best location to accommodate these additional places.

Statutory Proposals No proposed changes

Commentary In the primary sector it is expected that pupil numbers will begin to rise gradually although the levels will still be well within the 8% level identified within the Local Authority’s policy. It is forecast that numbers at Dorcan College are declining in the short term. However, this trend could reverse as this area neighbours the proposed Eastern expansion of Swindon and there is expected to be an impact on the existing urban areas from the new development.

Longer Term Issues The School Place Planning Study indicates the need to expand Dorcan beyond 2013 as part of the strategy to accommodate the proposed Eastern Development Area and that the catchment is within the area of search for a new central Swindon secondary school. Feasibility work is being undertaken to determine the best location to accommodate these additional places.

Statutory Proposals No proposed changes

Commentary The West Swindon Area has been through a number of consultations on proposals to remove surplus places in primary schools and to remove free discretionary transport from West Swindon residents to Bradon Forest and The Ridgeway Schools. The forecast data for primary schools identifies a number of surplus places existing in primary schools although there is some pressure arising on the reception intake in September 2012 through a rise in the birth rate data. There will be additional pressure as a result of the urban extensions in Wiltshire. For Greendown School the forecast is for the surplus places to increase. However, the forecast is based on a historical percentage share of pupils from primary schools and this is likely to change as a result of the changes to the transport policy. Historically 4 forms of entry from this area have attended and the Local Authority need this

30

demand to continue to be met to deliver the recommendations in the Long Term School Place Planning Study by 2026.

Longer Term Issues In accord with the paragraph above and the symbiotic relationship between Bradon Forest and Greendown secondary schools across the administrative boundary, the impact of proposed development in Wiltshire will have to be carefully managed and consider the number of Swindon children currently educated outside the Borough. Development adjacent to Swindon in Wiltshire must also consider its impact on Swindon.

Housing Developments There are a significant number of sites in the area, which will result in additional pupils moving into the area. Although Tadpole Farm is within the Warneford catchment area, it also relates closely to the Isambard and Nova catchment and is actually directly adjacent to Isambard. Site Number of Dwellings Tadpole Farm 2000

Statutory Proposals As a response to the levels of surplus places in Highworth the Local Authority has closed Northview Primary School and expanded Westrop Primary School from September 2010.

Commentary There are a significant number of surplus places in Highworth Primary Schools as shown in table 16 and the forecast is that this is set to continue. As a result the numbers that are expected to feed into Highworth Warneford School are also predicted to decline in the long term.

Longer Term Issues New primary schools will be provided to support development at Tadpole Farm and a strategy for secondary school pupils will be developed considering the joint impact upon Warneford catchment, in which the proposed development area lies and its relationship to the northern sector. It must also consider the cumulative impact of the proposed adjacent sites in Wiltshire.

Statutory Proposals Since the publication of the last School Organisation Plan, Abbey Meads, Catherine Wayte, Haydonleigh and St Francis Primary Schools have all had proposals agreed to permanently expand to two forms of entry. Also, a new school at Oakhurst has been approved and established as a community school for September 2009 following the competition arrangements. In addition, a feasibility study has been commissioned to investigate options for meeting the increased demand for primary places. It is expected that the results of the study will be available by spring 2010.

Commentary There is significant pressure on the primary schools in this area the numbers increase dramatically as a result of the birth rate from September 2011. The short term requirement is for an additional form of entry for September 2011 and another for September 2012. As indicated above, there will be large developments that will place even greater pressure on places. In the secondary school the trend is for the numbers to increase in the immediate future as a result of the primary pressures and future housing developments.

There is an expected need during the life of this plan to create separate catchment areas for the two secondary schools.

Longer Term Issues The School Place Planning Study indicates that the catchment is within the area of search for a new secondary school to accommodate development at North Swindon. Feasibility work is being undertaken to determine the best location to accommodate these additional places.

Statutory Proposals No proposed changes

Commentary The forecast data for primary schools identifies a number of surplus places existing in primary schools although there is a peak in the reception intake in September 2010 through a rise in the birth rate data. It is forecast that numbers at Kingsdown School are declining in the short term. However, this trend could reverse as this area neighbours the proposed Eastern expansion of Swindon and there is expected to be an impact on the existing urban areas from the new development.

Longer Term Issues The School Place Planning Study indicates that the catchment is within the area of search for a new secondary school to accommodate development at north Swindon. Feasibility work is being undertaken to determine the best location to accommodate these additional places. Additional new secondary school places will also have to be established within the Eastern Development Area.

Housing Developments There are significant sites in the area, which will result in additional pupils moving into the area.

Additionally, proposals for development at Commonhead are within this catchment.

Commentary The forecast data for primary schools identifies a number of surplus places in the future although there is a peak in the reception intake in September 2010 through a rise in the birth rate data. It is forecast that numbers at The Ridgeway School are declining in the short term. However, this trend could reverse as this area neighbours the proposed Wichelstowe development and it is expected that pupils residing there will attend The Ridgeway.

Longer Term Issues The School Place Planning Study identifies that new primary schools will have to be established at Wichelstowe, Commonhead and the Eastern Development Area. The study recommends that a strategy for accommodating secondary school pupils in the longer term at Wichelstowe will probably involve the expansion of Ridgeway.

Additional new secondary school places will also have to be established within the Eastern Development Area. However, secondary school provision at the southern part of the Eastern Development Area and Commonhead are likely to relate more closely to the Dorcan catchment area.

Statutory Proposals Since the publication of the last plan, Penhill Primary School was closed on 31st December 2008 to make way for the expansion of Swindon Academy.

The Local Authority is proposing to amalgamate the infant and junior schools at Gorse Hill. If the proposal goes ahead, the proposed implementation date is for September 2011

Commentary The expected pupil numbers in primary schools fluctuate in number year on year. The numbers that are identified in the PCT birth rate data file are historically above the number of places available in the schools although the primary schools have a number of surplus places. In the secondary sector, it is forecast that the pupil numbers will decline in the Swindon Academy up to September 2013.

Longer Term Issues The School Place Planning Study indicates that the catchment is within the area of search for a new central Swindon secondary school and northern Swindon secondary school to accommodate longer term growth. Feasibility work is being undertaken to determine the best location to accommodate these schools additional places.

Pupil Mobility

Pupil mobility is a feature of all schools but for a number the scale, either by percentage (leavers and joiners) or by total numbers, presents a significant challenge. High levels of mobility make demands on school systems, resources, staff and the stable community of pupils. Different mobile groups will place different demands on the school, but the impact is not entirely negative as new arrivals may increase the diversity of the community, enhance the commitment to learning, and possibly raise levels of achievement.

Pupil level files from the School Census January 2008 were compared with ones from January 2009. For primary schools, the year groups from Reception to Year 5 in 2008 were matched with the year groups Year 1 to Year 6 in 2009. The matching of pupils from one year to the next enabled the calculation of the number and percentage of pupils who had left and arrived at the school. For secondary schools, the process was the same by looking at the year groups Year 7 to Year 10 in 2008 and then Year 8 to Year 11 in 2009. The following charts plot the turnover of pupils experienced by schools during the academic year.
