CONTENTS Executive Summary 1. Options and Consequences 2. Prospects for improvement at John Beddoes 3. Budget 4. Head Teacher Recruitment 5. PCC role in monitoring 6. The pace of change 7. The decision making process 8. The Challenges 9. Option 3 – The real Alternative APPENDICES Appendix A: The consultation document Appendix B: Timeline to a Decision Appendix C: Powys County Council and Estyn Appendix D: Letter from the Minister to Powys County Council, 7th January, 2013 Appendix E: Lead and Emerging Practitioner Schools Appendix F: Transformation in Newtown Appendix G: John Beddoes School Song Executive Summary ‘Some matters never change: learners in Powys live in strong communities and successful schools need to be supported by those communities.’ Cllr M. Alexander ( School & Governor News - Spring 2013) • The Lead and Emerging Practitioner Scheme is working as intended at John Beddoes School and is providing clear evidence of improvement, ahead of schedule, because it has the full support of staff, pupils, parents and the wider community which is essential for an effective school. • Powys County Council’s Option 2, “ To close John Beddoes School, retain pre-16 Secondary School provision on the current John Beddoes site as part of an enlarged Newtown High School”, does not command the vital community support on which a sustainable future depends. Educational provision on a site consisting of a collection of classrooms managed from a remote location will not suffice.

All maintained settings will be using the new curriculum by 1 September 2022. They envisage that schools would have some flexibility in determining how and when they begin first teaching of the new curriculum. WG expect some schools to be ready to start this transition soon after the new curriculum is made available, others will want to take a little longer. Working with practitioners WG committed to reflect on what this means for learners who are part way through a course of study leading to a qualification. Estyn’s guidance handbook for the inspection of secondary schools published in September 2017 contains the following reporting requirements for the inspector of 3.2, The breadth, balance and appropriateness of the curriculum:- ‘Inspectors should approach innovation and flexibility of approach in a positive way when schools have tried to be creative and imaginative in taking forward well-considered curricular initiatives for the benefit of pupils. In the light of current national developments, inspectors may find that schools are part of the pioneer school programme.
