Annex B: Impact Assessment
The University of Birmingham School admissions policy sets out four nodes across Birmingham from which year 7 pupils will be drawn. This impact assessment is looks at each node individually. The nodes are:
The University of Birmingham School site (B29 6QW) 50.0% of admissions (up to 75 year 7 pupils) Hall Green Rail Station (B28 8AA) 16.7% of admissions (up to 25 year 7 pupils) Small Heath Station (B10 0DP) 16.7% of admissions (up to 25 year 7 pupils) Jewellery Quarter Station (B18 6LE) 16.7% of admissions (up to 25 year 7 pupils)
We have looked at secondary schools within a 2 mile radius of each admission node. Schools positioned within a two mile radius of more than one node may well feel a greater impact than those within a two mile radius of one node. However it should be considered that the number of pupils drawn from each node is relatively small. Where a school falls within multiple nodes, it has been included in each separate node assessment but is highlighted in the distance from node column.
We have concluded that the school may have a moderate impact on 17 schools and a high impact on 2 schools. The two schools on which we think the University of Birmingham School will have a high impact are:
Harbourne Academy: Although on the outer edge of the relevant admission node for the new school, this school has a surplus of places, results which are well below average and has recently been judged as requiring improvement by Ofsted.
Mosely School: This school falls close to two admissions nodes for the new school, has a surplus of places, results which are well below average and has recently been judged as requiring improvement by Ofsted.
The University of Birmingham School will potentially provide high quality pupils places to the community and this factor, together with the projected rise in basic need outweighs the temporary impact on these two schools.
Sixth form admission is based on meeting academic requirements and is not subject to admissions nodes. This impact assessment therefore considers sixth form colleges within a 5 mile radius of the University of Birmingham School site. We have concluded that the school may have a minimal impact on 4 colleges and a moderate impact on 2 colleges.
