Download the Report MANCHESTER CITY COUNCIL REPORT FOR RESOLUTION COMMITTEE: Executive DATE: 22nd November 2006 SUBJECT: Transforming Education and Children’s Services: The Future Pattern of High School Provision in Manchester Co-Educational (Mixed) Schools and Single-Sex Schools REPORT OF: Chief Executive, City Treasurer and Director of Children’s Services PURPOSE OF REPORT: To seek in principle approval to the future provision of co-educational and single sex maintained and Academy high schools in Manchester. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That the results of informal consultation on the future balance of single sex and co-educational high school provision be noted. 2. That the proposals for future provision contained in this report be approved in principle, subject to the outcome of: i) further discussions with Head Teachers, Governing Bodies, school staff, parents and pupils and other interested parties; ii) more detailed work on the financial, legal and educational implications of the proposals 3. That a further report be submitted to a future meeting of the Executive in respect of the next stage of the development of these proposals. FINANCIAL CONSEQUENCES FOR THE REVENUE BUDGET: None directly related to this report but elsewhere on the agenda an update on the Academies Programme highlights revenue consequences for the BSF/Academies Programme of which these proposals form part. FINANCIAL CONSEQUENCES FOR THE CAPITAL BUDGET: Previous reports to the Executive have outlined the proposals for BSF Waves 1 and 4 and the Academies Programme. The capital budget for the provision of the proposed new schools will be contained within the existing proposals for investment in the secondary schools estate, which is based upon the number of pupils in the City. There is an increased risk to the Capital Programme by building more/smaller schools than previously planned.The proposals in this Report involve schools to be funded from Wave 1 (Levenshulme High School for Girls, Burnage High School for Boys, and part funding for the new co-educational school on the Burnage site), Academies (the new dual single-sex Academy at the North Manchester High School for Boys site, and the new co-educational 1 Academy at the Rochdale Road/Queen’s Road site), and Wave 4 funding (Whalley Range High School and part funding for the new co-educational school on the Burnage site). If implemented the proposals will generate a land sale from the surplus North Manchester High School for Girls site, and the receipts will be shared 50/50 with DfES after allowing the City Council the first £500,000.

ENVIRONMENTAL EMPLOYMENT YES YES YES YES 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Last year the authority consulted on the future of education and children’s services and the proposals for Academies; it was acknowledged that a subsequent consultation on the specific issue of co-education/single sex provision would be required. This has now taken place. Appendix A describes the consultation process and results. This report now proposes a way forward in respect of the future balance of co-educational and single sex schools. 2. ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION 2.1 The informal consultation was conducted separately in North and South Manchester. In the North there was no clear-cut majority of those who responded in favour of either single sex or co-education. In the South there was an overall preference for retaining single-sex schools. Petitions were received from mosques 2 in favour of retaining single-sex schools, the majority focusing in favour of single- sex education for girls. 2.2 Consultation suggests that there is demand from communities and parents to be able to choose both co-educational and single-sex schools. There are strongly held views for both co-educational and single sex and the authority respects both sets of views. The proposals in this report are therefore aimed at offering sufficient single sex provision in the City, in either the maintained sector or Academies, to meet demand from parents who believe it provides a better learning environment and for those parents who prefer a single sex environment. The proposals also increase the number of co-educational places for parents who, under the current admissions policy, are only able to access single sex schools when co-educational provision is their first preference. 2.3 The population of the City is growing (mid-year estimate for 2005 441,000 up from 437,000 in 2004) and the proportion of that population from ethnic minority backgrounds is projected to rise from 21% to 28% by the time of the next census. Within these projections there are and will continue to be rapid changes in population size and composition as a result of migration into and around the City. Cultural and faith considerations such as the preference of Muslim parents are therefore likely to be a continuing and important factor in education provision in the City. Provision is therefore required that will attract people from different ethnic groups in each district so that separate education of different ethnic groups is avoided. Feedback from the consultation exercise has revealed strong support for single sex girls’ education in particular. 2.4 High quality schools are needed as part of the regeneration process to attract families and so increase the City’s population. Schools should not simply react to increases in population post regeneration. This, plus the fast changing demographics of this City, means that in each area a flexible approach is needed that can adapt to changing demographics and changing parental preferences for single sex and co-educational provision. 2.5 Capital for the school building programme and revenue for running the new schools will follow pupil numbers. If the authority is to have schools of the right size but also, where needed, single sex schools, we will need to get the best value out of the available resources. The proposals in this report therefore include some shared use of facilities to achieve economies of scale. 2.7 Any proposals will need to have the support of the key stakeholders, including communities, parents, Academy sponsors and school governing bodies, Head Teachers, staff and pupils. The proposals that follow have been discussed with the Head Teachers involved but further discussions will be needed with all stakeholders. 3. PROPOSALS 3.1 Clearly having all single sex schools is not an option as there is significant demand for co-education. An all co-education solution would fail to meet the objectives of parental choice, cohesion and flexibility. It is therefore proposed to promote a balance of co-education with some single sex provision but with single sex schools for boys and girls co-located on the same site. There would be one such pair of Academy schools in north Manchester on the North Manchester High 3 School for Boys site and one pair of maintained schools in south Manchester on the Levenshulme High School site. Whalley Range High School would remain as a single sex school for girls. 3.2 The dual single sex schools at North Manchester and Levenshulme would have entirely single sex teaching, i.e. separate learning accommodation for boys and girls. Sports facilities, dining areas, learning resource centres and other facilities would be shared on a timetabled basis creating economies of scale. Governance, leadership and management arrangements will need to be very clear to ensure that each single sex school gets the full benefit of the shared facilities whilst retaining their separate identities as single sex schools. A proposal under consideration is that each pair of schools would be federated as a single school with one governing body and one executive Head Teacher responsible for overall development and running of the site. Each school would then have its own Head Teacher for leadership and management of the curriculum and teaching. Further work is required to explore this option. 3.3 The preferred option for consultation in the south of the City would be to relocate Burnage High School to the Levenshulme site where there would be a 750 place boys and a 750 place girls school. A new 750 place co-educational school would be established on the Burnage site. 3.4 The preferred option for consultation in the north of the City would be to relocate North Manchester High School for Girls to the North Manchester High School for Boys site to create a 900 place girls and a 750 place boys ‘federated’ academy. A new 750 place co-educational academy would be created on a site at the junction of Rochdale Road and Queens Road, Harpurhey. Proposals for co-educational sixth form provision on both sites will be explored. 3.5 The organisation and governance of the North Manchester Academies is a matter that will require further discussion with sponsors and the DfES. 4. CONCLUSIONS 4.1 Officers have taken into account the feedback from the initial consultation exercise and have reviewed pupil-planning projections to arrive at the recommendations in this report. The Director of Children’s Services will report back to the Executive in due course on the outcome of further discussions on each of the proposals.
