Memorandum for Education Select Committee Birmingham “Trojan Memorandum for Education Select Committee Birmingham “Trojan Horse” allegations: Ofsted inspections and advice note to the Secretary of State for Education Scope of Ofsted inspection work 1. Ofsted has conducted 15 inspections in Birmingham in response to a request made by the Secretary of State for Education under section 8(1) of the Education Act 2005. Ofsted had already made arrangements to conduct inspections of three other Birmingham schools prior to receipt of the request. This was because of concerns around leadership and management and/or safeguarding received by Ofsted in relation to the schools. Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector (HMCI), who had personal oversight of these inspections, subsequently identified a further three schools in Birmingham that, in his opinion, would benefit from inspection, bringing to 21 the total number of schools inspected. The statutory responsibilities engaged 2. All inspections were carried out under section 8 of the Education Act 2005 in line with Ofsted’s published guidance:‘Monitoring inspections of schools with no formal designation, with a focus on safeguarding and/or leadership and management’ Ref:130223. 3. Where evidence gathered and scrutinised during the inspection indicated that the quality of leadership and management, including governance, was inadequate, inspectors considered whether the effectiveness of the provision as a whole was inadequate. In such circumstances the inspectors can use powers available to HMCI under section 9 of the Education Act 2005 to treat the inspection as if it were an inspection under section 5 of that Act. In such circumstances, following inspection, a section 5 inspection report is published covering the full inspection evaluation schedule and reporting on the school’s overall effectiveness Ref:130223. Number of staff involved 4. There were 21 of Her Majesty’s Inspectors (HMI) involved in the 21 inspections. Some HMI were involved in more than one inspection. There was an Additional Inspector involved in two of the inspections. 5. HMCI spent a week in Birmingham speaking to a number of headteachers (past and present), officers of the Local Authority and its CEO. 6. HMI involved in the inspections attended training led by one of Her Majesty’s Inspectors with expertise in issues related to radicalisation and extremism. 7. Ofsted’s Director of Schools and the Regional Director for the West Midlands took responsibility for the quality assurance of the inspections. 8. A team of nine HMI were involved in moderating several of the reports. The team were led by a Senior HMI from another region who had no previous involvement in any of the 21 schools inspected. 9. All inspection reports were signed off by HMCI. Inspection reports and Advice Note to the Secretary of State 10. All 21 inspection reports have been quality assured and were shared confidentially with schools. The reports will be published on 9 June 2014. 11. An advice note to the Secretary of State outlining Ofsted’s inspection findings will be published on 9 June 2014. 12. Ofsted is very aware of the concerns around the issues being raised in this area and will be undertaking further inspections where there are allegations about safeguarding and poor governance. Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector will, of course, be able to answer questions on these matters next time he appears before the Committee. 13. Schools inspected: Park View School Academy of Mathematics and Science Golden Hillock School – A Park View Academy Nansen Primary School – A Park View Academy Oldknow Academy Saltley School and Specialist Science College Alston Primary School Highfield Junior and Infant School Chillwell Croft Academy Montgomery Primary Academy Shaw Primary School Heathfield Primary School Regents Park Community Primary School Adderley Primary School Welford Primary School Ladypool Primary School Marlborough Junior School Gracelands Nursery School Washwood Heath Academy Waverley School Ninestiles School – An Academy Small Heath School Steps taken to ensure co-ordination with other investigations 14. Ofsted is engaging in on-going dialogue and, where appropriate and lawful to do so, sharing inspection evidence with all of the other investigations underway, including specifically with: . Peter Clarke, Education Commissioner, appointed by the Secretary of State for Education; . the Department for Education including the Due Diligence and Counter Extremism Division; . Ian Kershaw, Independent Chief Adviser, appointed by Birmingham City Council to review the ‘Trojan Horse’ allegations; In addition we have ensured that elected members of Birmingham City Council and all local Members of Parliament are kept informed of the progress of our work. .

In a city with higher than average levels of obesity and significant evidence of deprivation and food poverty, the programme was shaped to promote activities around growing food, healthier eating and physical activity, reaching the whole community surrounding the company’s Bournville site. Funded for five years by the Mondelēz International Foundation with an investment of £3.1 million, the programme was developed with and delivered in partnership with the Health Education Service (HES)1, with Life Education Centres West Midlands (LECWM), working with primary and secondary schools and The Conservation Volunteers (TCV)2 working with the wider community. The programme has supported the national Change4Life campaign. Objectives To engage school communities and local residents in growing food to increase their knowledge and understanding of its link with healthy lifestyles and provide access to fresh food; To improve understanding of healthier eating habits with a focus in schools on increasing opportunities for cookery and healthy eating activities; To increase opportunities and engagement in physical activity for children and adults.

  • Primary Schools
    Appendix 2a Proposed Published Admission Numbers - September 2019 Birmingham City Council (the local authority) is the admissions authority for community and voluntary controlled schools in Birmingham. This document is a record of proposed Published Admission Numbers (PANs) for these schools. A PAN figure for a school does not include places reserved for pupils with a statement of Special Educational Needs (SEN) or an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). Reserved places are admitted in addition to the PAN. Admission to these reserved places is coordinated through a referral process by the Birmingham City Council Special Educational Needs, Assessment and Review service (SENAR). For a full list of schools offering Resource Base provision please see: Schools with Resource Bases for SEN . Due to the continued changes in Birmingham’s school population as a result of fluctuating birth rates and increased levels of cohort growth, we continue to engage with a number of schools throughout the year to discuss proposed changes to PANs. Any proposed changes to admission numbers or creation of Resource Base places are consulted on as required in accordance with due guidance.

  • Admissions Arrangments
    DETERMINED ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS FOR COMMUNITY AND VOLUNTARY CONTROLLED SCHOOLS FOR 2022 / 2023 ACADEMIC YEAR FOR THE YEAR OF ENTRY AND IN-YEAR ADMISSIONS 1. Birmingham Local Authority (community and voluntary controlled infant, primary and secondary schools) over-subscription criteria 1.1. Any child with an Education, Health and Care Plan is required to be admitted to the school that is named in the plan. This gives such children overall priority for admission to the named school. This is not an oversubscription criterion. The local authority is the admission authority for community and voluntary controlled schools. Children are admitted to schools in accordance with parental preference as far as possible. However, where there are more applications than there are places available, places at community and voluntary controlled schools will be offered based on the following order of priority except those schools set out in paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 below. 1.2. Looked after children or children who were previously looked after (including previously looked after children from outside of England). 1.3. Children with a brother or sister already at the school who will still be in attendance at the time the child enters the school, excluding those children attending nursery, in year 6 or attending a sixth form. 1.4. In the case of Voluntary Controlled Church of England primary schools, children whose parents have made applications on denominational grounds. This will be confirmed by a letter from the Vicar / Minister of the relevant Church. Details of schools that use denominational criteria can be viewed at section 6.
