23Rd September 2010 QUALITY in EDUCATION Item No. 7 (A) (1) Report of the Cabinet Member for Education Cabinet – 23rd September 2010 QUALITY IN EDUCATION (QED) 2020 – EMERGING PROPOSALS AND INVESTMENT PRIORITIES Summary Purpose: The report summarises the next proposals for statutory consultation and capital investment for endorsement as part of the Authority’s Strategic Outline Programme which will be submitted to the Assembly in October 2010. In addition it outlines the proposed disposal programme of surplus school land to help fund future investment in school buildings and facilities. Policy framework: - Improvement Plan 2008-2012 priorities – QEd 2020 is a strategic programme of the Council - Children and Young People Plan 2008/2011 - Welsh Education Scheme 2006 - 2011 - Approved Capital Programme Budget – Feb 2008 & 2009 Reason for decision: QEd 2020 aims to continue to raise educational standards for all learners and deliver a step change in the condition of school buildings and facilities and support wider educational strategies. It encompasses the progressive review and, where necessary, the rationalisation of schools, as part of a far wider and coherent strategy for education within Swansea. The need to rationalise the number of schools within the County has been identified as part of this review, along with a wide range of other emerging priorities. In addition, it will ensure a corporate approach to future disposal programme Consultation: Chief Executive’s, Education, Finance, Legal, Corporate Property and Building Services 1. Purpose 1.1 This report will provide: • An overview of the key challenges facing Education nationally and within Swansea and the drivers for change. • An update on the outcome of the final tranche of bids submitted under the School Building Improvement Grant and the proposed funding of the required Council contribution. • An overview of the developing QEd 2020 strategy, investment priorities and proposed forward plan to be reflected in the Strategic Outline Programme which will be submitted to WAG in October 2010. • A summary of the next package of proposals that can be progressed, where this will involve a statutory consultation process, and an explanation of the next stages in the process 1.2 Considerable work has been undertaken to build a firm basis for the progressive review of all our schools, consistent with the clear lessons learned by other authorities and accepted good practice and this is set out in Appendix A. 1.3 Since November 2008, the Authority has sought to progress as many of the identified priority options as possible within the resources available (see Appendix B), in particular: • Funding has been accessed to commence a range of the identified investment priorities, most recently the announcements regarding the major refurbishment of accommodation and facilities at Cefn Hengoed Comprehensive School and at Morriston Comprehensive School. • An earlier set of statutory proposals were the subject of statutory consultation and statutory notices and final approval by the Minister. • The most recent statutory proposals have been the subject of statutory consultation and statutory notices and are currently awaiting Ministerial approval. 2. Challenges Facing Education in Swansea 2.1 Standards in Wales have generally been steadily improving over the last five years but he gap between the lowest and highest schools has widened. Further detail regarding the national challenges facing each local authority in Wales is set out in Appendix C. 2.2 The clear aims of the Quality in Education (QEd) 2020 programme have been stated as follows: • To raise standards of achievement and attainment for all children and young people • To improve the quality of the learning environment • To make the best use of human, physical and financial resources. Pupil Outcomes 2.3 The trends in educational outcomes for the period 2004 to 2010 generally highlight improvements although the change relative to the all Wales average is variable. Outcomes at key stage 1 are slightly improving, key stage 2 are flat and key stage 3 are slightly improving. Outcomes at key stage 4 have shown the most significant and steady improvement during the last 6 years from a very low base relative to Wales to second or third quartile. Outcomes at key stage 4 in 2010 are at the highest ever on all key performance indicators across Swansea and for most of the 15 secondary schools. The gap between the highest and lowest performing schools and pupils during the same period has widened over time and across the key stages. Two of the 15 secondary schools now have a level 2 indicator (5+A* to C), at key stage 4 at 60% less than the highest performing schools. Primary attendance is amongst the lowest in Wales and consistently in the lowest quartile. Secondary attendance is steadily improving over time and fixed term exclusions from amongst the highest in Wales now have a downward and significantly improving trend. School Outcomes 2.4 Analysis of the inspection grades over the last 6 years inspection shows 39.25% grade 1’s, 46.72% grade 2’s, 11.97% grade 3’s and 2.06% grade 4’s. Fifteen schools got 7 grade 1’s. One secondary school has just been put into special measures. Two primary schools have been in need of significant improvement during the 6 year period but are now out of this category. An initial internal analysis of all schools focusing on learner outcomes and capacity to improve identifies 41 ‘good and outstanding schools’, 29 ‘developing’, 22 ‘causing concern’ and 10 ‘underperforming’. School Places and Buildings 2.5 There has been a reducing pupil population from 33,444 full time pupils in January 2004 to 31,563 full time pupils by January 2010. There are projected increases in primary pupil numbers by September 16 but a continuing fall in secondary pupils. There are currently 15.5% secondary surplus place projected to increase to 20.5% by September 2016 and 19.6% primary surplus places projected to fall to 15.6% (including the impact of the latest proposals). There is increasing demand for Welsh-medium primary places with the current 1,988 full time pupils projected to increase to 2,719 by September 2016. There are 29.1% buildings in category D in terms of business continuity risk and a further 50.9% category C with just 2.7% category A and 17.3% category B. There are also significant suitability and sustainability (eg reduction on carbon emissions) challenges. The backlog maintenance figure is at least £140M. 3. Priorities for Improvement and Change Improving Pupil Outcomes For 2013 requires a focus on: • Ensuring all pupils are at least functionally literate • Focusing on improvements in reading levels • Improving the relative attainment of boys compared to girls • Significantly reducing the number of children and young people that have poor attendance • Continuing to reduce the number of 16 to 18 year olds not in education, employment or training Improving Schools for 2013 requires a focus on: • Low attaining schools; • Reducing within and across school variations in terms of learner outcomes • Reducing the impact of disadvantage on pupil outcomes Improving School Places and Buildings for 2015/16 requires a focus on: • Reducing the number of secondary schools by 2 from 15 • Remodelling / enhanced facilities for 2 secondary schools in addition to 2 current significant remodels • Reducing the number of sixth forms by 2 • Reducing the number of English medium primary schools by 6 from 85. • Delivery of 4 new build English medium primary schools • Extending/remodelling 1 further English Medium primary • Increasing the number of Welsh-medium primary schools by 3 • Replacing/significantly remodelling 1 Welsh Medium Primary 4. Education in Swansea in 3 Years 4.1 There will be a significant change in the role of the Local Authority with a particular focus on: • The local authority as an advocate on behalf of child, young person and parents/carers • A small core of services in the local authority, commissioning schools and services to improve outcomes for children and young people • A significantly increased monitoring role mainly using school improvement teams 4.2 Given the phased reduction in the Education budget over the next three years, schools will see: • An increased share of the available funding, with the transfer of the associated responsibilities, from the current level of 74% delegated to schools initially to somewhere between 80 and 85% • The delegation of additional funding and responsibilities from April 2011, particularly in respect of the special educational needs 1 to 1 budget • An increased ownership of funding for specific services by schools and the requirement for targeting to pupils most in need 4.3 A review of service delivery will consider the potential for joint management and delivery of a range of Education-related and back office functions across local authority boundaries 5. Outcome of 3rd Tranche of School Building Improvement Grant (SBIG) 5.1 In May 2010 the following capital bids were submitted to WAG: a) Proposals for major redevelopment and rebuild of accommodation and facilities • Phase 2 of redevelopment of accommodation and facilities at Morriston Comprehensive School – Health and Safety / Business Continuity • New Build School to replace Manselton and Cwmbwrla Primary Schools – Health and Safety / Business Continuity • Phase 2 of major rebuild at Dunvant Primary School – completion of site rationalisation • Major redevelopment and rebuild of accommodation and facilities at Pentrehafod Comprehensive School – Suitability concerns b) Design and enabling works to further develop outline business cases for new primary schools and secondary priorities. 5.2 It is important to recognise that the criteria for bids under residual SBIG differ from the approach to be adopted in future through the 21st Century School Programme. With a very limited ‘pot’ of capital funding available nationally, there would appear to be a focus on: • secondary transformation proposals; • schemes able to demonstrate deliverability within the required timescales – and therefore not dependent upon the successful outcome of a statutory consultation process; and • schemes with a Council contribution of at least 30% (previously 20%).

  • Swansea 1995-2012
    Swansea Welsh Unitary Council Election Results 1995-2012 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
