BRISTOL CITY COUNCIL Cabinet 6 December 2007 Report Of: Director ITEM 6 BRISTOL CITY COUNCIL Cabinet 6 December 2007 Report of: Director of Children and Young People’s Services Title: Post-consultation Report on Residential Provision for Pupils with Special Educational Needs Ward: Citywide Contact officer: Ian McDowall Programme Director – Safeguarding and Specialist Support Contact telephone number: 0117 9037940 Recommendation That approval is given to • publish statutory notices proposing the closure of Kingsdon Manor School with effect from 31 August 2008. • publish statutory notices to re-designate Florence Brown Community School with effect from 1 September 2008. • Any revenue savings (approximately £1m) resulting from the closure of Kingsdon Manor School will be re-invested in day BESD provision within the city. 1 Summary This report outlines responses received to the recent consultations in respect of the proposals. It recommends the publication of statutory notices to close Kingsdon Manor School and re-designate Florence Brown Community School. • The proposals are linked to the principles identified in the SEN Specialist Provision Strategy. • Significant shortage of day provision for pupils with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties (BESD). • Under utilisation of both residential BESD schools. • A need to make better use of existing residential provision by reducing overall numbers to better match demand, obtaining better value for money and improving provision. • Pupils requiring day BESD provision referred for extended periods to Pupil Referral Units due to a lack of day placements. • The cost of vacant places cannot be shared with other authorities and so the cost to Bristol to send pupils to its residential schools has been far higher than for other authorities. • The development of Florence Brown School as a BESD resource is crucial to the plan to create additional day BESD provision for the south of the city. • Consultation raised concerns over the proposal to close Kingsdon Manor particularly the balance of the consultation document and the effect on pupils. Policy 1. The proposal set out in this report supports the following Council priorities: • Raising educational attainment; • Providing new and better schools; 2 Consultation Internal: • Legal Services • Corporate Finance and Procurement External: 2. The consultation process started on 17 September 2007 and concluded on 9 November 2007. Copies of the consultation documents were sent to: • Parents, staff and governors of Kingsdon Manor and Florence Brown Community Schools • Other special schools • All secondary schools • Education stakeholders 3. The consultations were also publicised by publication of information on the Council’s website and a press release. Responses to the consultation could be made on a pro-forma response form in hard copy, via e-mail, or by letter. 4. 5 consultation meetings were held during the consultation period. Meetings were held for the staff and governors of each school, for parents of each school and other interested parties. A further meeting was requested and this was open to parents and other interested parties for both schools. 5. Appendix A gives a summary of the responses received to the proposal to close Kingsdon Manor School. 6. On Kingsdon Manor School, 28 written responses were received. 5 were in favour of the proposal to close the school and 22 were not in favour. 1 response did not indicate whether they were in favour or not. 13 responses were from members of staff and 5 from parents. 3 7. A number of responses raised concerns over the accuracy of information contained in the consultation document and the balance of points made in relation to Kingsdon Manor and Notton House Schools. In particular there was a feeling that the strengths, both in terms of the standards of care and achievement of pupils at Kingsdon Manor had not been presented. There was also a view that the differences in accessibility for pupils travelling from Bristol to the 2 schools had been over-emphasised. 8. There were also a number of responses which were concerned about the disruptive effect on pupils, particularly those currently in Year 10 who will need to move schools for their last year should the school closure be implemented. 9. The staff and governors meeting held for the Kingsdon Manor School proposal was attended by a total of about 35 people. The parents and public meeting was attended by 7 people, including 1 parent and 2 members of staff from Kingsdon Manor. The points raised at the meetings included the concerns about information in the consultation document, the effect on particularly Year 10 pupils. 10. 5 written responses were received on the proposal to re- designate Florence Brown Community School. 3 of these supported the proposal. 1 was from the governors of Florence Brown School, 1 from a parent whose child is currently in a satellite class at Brislington Enterprise College and 1 from the Headteacher of Notton House School, on behalf of the school. 11. The governors of Florence Brown School, whilst supporting the proposal were concerned about that the balance of pupils with differing needs is considered. They also sought clarification that the change of designation was not a closing or re-opening and that staff would not have to re-apply for jobs. This was confirmed. There was also concern about the lack of personnel support for staff. The HR Manager (CYPS) feels that there no staffing implications in the current proposal. There is a recognition that support will need to be available during the transition period and a comprehensive training programme is being put in place. It is also recognised that further developments at Florence will require full staff consultation. 4 12. The staff and governors and the parents and public meetings held at Florence Brown School were attended by a total of about 55 people. In general, both the meetings were supportive of the proposal. There were concerns regarding the suitability of the school buildings in the short term to cope with more BESD pupils Consultation with Trade Unions 13. A consultation meeting took place with the trade unions on 8th October 2007 to discuss the SEN Strategy and the proposals in respect of both Florence Brown and Kingsdon Manor Schools. Representatives from ATL, NUT and UNISON attended the meeting. Concerns were expressed over the rationale for the Kingsdon Manor closure. This was clarified at the meeting. 14. Since the consultation meeting on 8th October, it has emerged that the consultation on the proposal in respect of Florence Brown had not been circulated to trade union representatives. However, the proposal in respect of Florence Brown does not have any staffing implications. The proposals contained within this report were discussed at the CYPS DJCC held on 22nd November 2007. At the meeting, the National Union of Teachers (NUT) expressed concerns about the proposals. Officers clarified the consultation arrangements and that there would be detailed consultation on any future statutory proposals that will be made in relation to Florence Brown. These will have staffing implications. UNISON sought reassurances that comprehensive staff consultation would take place if the closure proposal for Kingsdon Manor is approved. Assurances were provided. 15. The NUT submitted an initial response. The document on Florence Brown was not sent directly to the Trade Unions and so the NUT have indicated they will respond more fully direct to Cabinet. However, this matter has been the subject of further discussion with the trade unions at the DJCC as highlighted above. Context 5 16. The reasons for the proposals are linked to the principles identified in the SEN Specialist Provision Strategy. The following principles should be applied as far as possible to the development of specialist provision in Bristol and the systems by which children are placed. All of the main points are based on the commitment to: a. Retain and develop further inclusion opportunities for children in specialist provision and b. Enable close partnership working between specials and mainstream schools in order for planned inclusion opportunities to be a natural part of each child’s experience. The main principles are: I. Provision should be developed as close to the child as possible so that: • providers can work with other area and locality practitioners to join up services for vulnerable children and those with complex needs • young people have the widest range of curriculum options and inclusion opportunities possible • travel time is reduced and more independent travel arrangements can be made where possible • the target for children in care to be educated within a 20 mile radius can be achieved. • families can more easily develop good relationships with schools II. Specialist provision should wherever possible be part of area level arrangements which include: • special schools and their inclusion classes • resource base provision managed by mainstream schools 6 • pupil referral units • specialist services and provisions including those within health, social care and other Partnership agencies. III. Specialist providers need to be included in the development of Children’s Trust arrangements and Extended School Partnerships. IV. Area level (and citywide) specialist arrangements should be based on joint responsibility for meeting children and young people’s needs so that: • resources for children with complex needs are kept within the city as far as is possible rather than being diverted to out of authority providers • any moves between provision are planned and seamless and take children and young peoples’ views into account • pupil referral units and some other specialist facilities become interim provision from which children and young people move back into school as quickly as possible. • children’s health and safety is guarded and all placements are adequately monitored and quality assured. 17. There is a significant shortage of day provision for pupils with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties (BESD) together with an under utilisation of our two residential BESD schools. Both schools are located some distance from Bristol: Kingsdon Manor School in the village of Kingsdon in Somerset and Notton House School, near Laycock in Wiltshire.

  • URN Institution Name 143129 Phoenix Academy 142905 South
    University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag All schools on this list meet the requirements for the University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag. The Institution Contextual Flag is given to all institutions whose data indicates that they perform in the bottom 40% nationally for KS5 results reported by the Department for Education each year. We use the average point school per entry and where data is not available, we use KS4 result, if available. In order to make this more reliable we look at data over a three year period to see if they are low performing for at least two out of the last three years. In cases where an Institution is flagged, but subsequently closes, the flag will be retained and the institution will continue to appear on the list. We use the Institution supplied by you in your UCAS application (the UCAS centre or Last Institution) to identify whether it has a Contextual Flag. Please note: independent schools are not included, neither do we have data from government agencies in Scotland and Northern Ireland and therefore these cannot be given a flag. Similarly, there may be schools or colleges which have recently changed name, status or have merged and this has resulted in no data being reported by the Department of Education , in these instances we will not be able to assess the Institution for a Contextual Flag.
