The SOP will be used to inform decision making in relation to the supply of and demand for schools places over the five year period. The SOP covers all aspects of availability of school places. In Leicestershire this means that consideration needs to be given: • to types of schools providing for different age ranges (mainly: primary, high and upper school) • to the specialist provision for pupils with Special Educational Needs • to the availability of places at denominational schools • to the interface between schools and the former FEFC Sector Colleges for students aged 16+ • to the interface between schools and other Early Years providers in relation to pupils of pre statutory school age. (1.2) School Organisation Committee (SOC) The SOP for each Local Education Authority (LEA) must be prepared and agreed by the School Organisation Committee (SOC). The Leicestershire SOC is made-up of five groups. Each group has one vote on any decision taken by the SOC. The five groups are: • elected members (County Councillors) • schools (Governors) • Leicester Diocese (Church of England) • Nottingham Diocese (Roman Catholic Church) • Learning and Skills Council (LSC) Preparing and agreeing the SOP is only one of the functions of the SOC. Its other, most significant, rôle is to determine any statutory proposals (e.g. opening or closing schools) that are made by the County Council. 2 In the event that a SOC cannot resolve an issue, the matter is referred to an independent adjudicator who has powers to determine proposals. This means that if any one of the five groups votes against a proposal (having exhausted the search for a universally acceptable outcome), the issue is referred to an adjudicator. (1.3) Functions of the SOP The plan brings together detailed data relating to school places and identifies the range of issues that need to be considered/addressed. However, it is not the function of the SOP to set out detailed proposals affecting individual schools. Such proposals are the responsibility of the LEA. They will often be in response to the SOP and will usually be considered as individual proposals by the SOC. The LEA would then need to decide how these general needs would be met. If this involved statutory proposals (e.g. significant enlargement of one or more schools) those proposals would be put to the SOC by the LEA. At that stage the proposals would name actual schools. As set out in 1:1, the SOP must include early years, SEN, 16+ and denominational provision. The SOP is prepared in the context of the Education Development Plan (EDP), the Assets Management Plan (AMP), the Early Years and Childcare Development Plan and the LEA’s rôle in securing improved achievement by pupils. (1.4) Layout of the SOP DfEE guidance suggested that LEAs might decide to set-out SOPs in three sections. This guidance seems helpful and it has been adopted. The three sections labelled A, B and C relate to: • demographic information • policies and principles • conclusions Aggregated data is provided in Section A with expanded school-by- school data set-out in Appendices. (1.5) Partnership The planning processes are currently undertaken by elected members and officers of the County Council. This work involves liaison with District Councils and developers in relation to future housing proposals, with Health Authorities, in relation to births in the area, with Communities affected by significant proposals and with the relevant Diocesan Education Authorities. These existing partnership structures are formalised in the SOP process. The SOC broadens the base for formal involvement in decision making whilst leaving with the County Council, the responsibility for bringing forward detailed proposals. There are 3 requirements on the County Council to consult stakeholders when SOP priorities are being developed and to consult interested parties and the Community on the contents of the draft plan. 4 (2.1) PUPIL NUMBER FORECASTS (2000 to 2006) 2.1(a) PRIMARY SCHOOLS BLABY Summer Term Forecasts DISTRICT 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Year 0 1082 1159 1136 1158 1135 N/A Year 1 1189 1082 1159 1136 1158 1135 Year 2 1110 1189 1082 1159 1136 1158 Year 3 1159 1110 1189 1082 1159 1136 Year 4 1245 1159 1110 1189 1082 1159 Year 5 1244 1245 1159 1110 1189 1082 Year 6 1016 1096 1094 1015 982 1038 TOTALS 8045 8040 7929 7849 7841 Over the next 5 years, new housing in this district could produce 132 additional children from housing currently in development and 58 pupils from sites where development is expected but not yet commenced.
