Report of the Secondary Place Planning Group on the Need for Extra Year 7 Admission Places Between 2015-2019 EARLY HELP and SCHOOLS REPORT OF THE SECONDARY PLACE PLANNING GROUP ON THE NEED FOR EXTRA YEAR 7 ADMISSION PLACES BETWEEN 2015-2019 November 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There is a need to consider providing additional secondary places across the Borough from September 2015 onwards. The Local Authority has set up a Stakeholder Working Group to consider this and to formulate proposals for public consultation. This Report follows the end of that consultation and puts forward proposals to meet the increased demand for extra Year 7 Secondary School places in the period to September 2019 The number of children wanting Year 7 places in the Borough’s secondary schools will rise from 2,263 this school year to an estimated 2,819 by September 2019. The level of demand varies across the Borough, and in some areas growth will continue beyond 2020. The focus of the report covers the period to September 2019. The report puts forward a number of proposals to make sure that there are enough places to meet the minimum demand as well as enough extra places to allow for parental preference and future within year movements. The view of the Working Group is that extra places can be provided by expansion on current school sites. Where applicable, the implementation of proposals is subject to the support of own admission authority schools, their Trusts and Diocesan Authorities. Secondary Place Planning Group- Final Report Nov14 v1 Page 1 REPORT OF THE SECONDARY PLACE PLANNING GROUP ON THE NEED FOR EXTRA YEAR 7 ADMISSION PLACES BETWEEN 2015-2019 INTRODUCTION and BACKGROUND 1. This report sets out details of the need for additional secondary school places in the period 2015-2019. Based on current projections additional Year 7 places will be needed in each Township in that period. The Local Authority has a statutory duty to secure sufficient school places in its area, and is the strategic commissioner for the provision of additional places that might be required. 2. In order to plan effectively to meet the expected increase in demand, in December 2013 Rochdale Local Authority set up a Stakeholder Group comprising representatives of Secondary Headteachers, College Principals, Elected Members, school governors, Primary Headteachers and Diocesan Authorities to look at the supply and demand for additional secondary school places. 3. The remit of the Group, therefore, was to look at the strategy for meeting the need for extra pupil places across the Borough over the next five years (2015 onwards), to consult on such revised proposals and report to the Executive Member Children Schools & Families on the outcomes of that consultation by Autumn 2014. The membership of the Group comprised: • Executive member for Children Schools and Families, plus 3 elected Members nominated by the respective Group Leaders; • Assistant Director- Early Help and Schools; • 4 Secondary Headteachers nominated through the Pioneer Trust; • 1 person nominated by the Manchester Diocese (Church of England); • 1 person nominated by the Salford Diocese (Roman Catholic Church); • 1 Primary Headteacher (nominated by Rochdale Association of Primary Headteachers); • Principal Hopwood Hall College; • Principal Rochdale Sixth Form College • 1 School Governor nominated through the Independent Governor Forum 4. The purpose of this report is to present final proposals for the Cabinet of Rochdale Borough Council to consider. This follows as to how many additional places ought to be provided, and where and when they should be provided. Secondary Place Planning Group- Final Report Nov14 v1 Page 2 SECONDARY SCHOOL PLACE DEMAND- BOROUGH OVERVIEW 5. The current provision of secondary places in the Borough is through 12 secondary schools. The location of these schools is shown on the map at Appendix One . The current numbers of children in these schools is shown as Appendix Two . The number of places available in each school, and the type of school is set out in Appendix Three . Details of how the Local Authority develops pupil number projections is set out at Appendix Four . The pupil number projections take account of past patterns of demand, and for secondary places goes up to September 2024. EXPECTED DEMAND FOR YEAR 7 SECONDARY PLACES 2015-2019 6. From September 2014 the number of Year 7 pupils for admission to secondary schools will begin to increase across the Borough. Overall there is enough space in the secondary sector to accommodate the growth in intakes until 2017, after then more places will need to be available. The following graph shows the overall position to 2019. School year 2013/14 2014/15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 Year 7 Places 2550 2610 2610 2610 2610 2610 2610 Expected Pupils 2263 2382 2560 2533 2614 2769 2819 Extra Places Needed Enough places overall -4 -159 -209 FUTURE DEMAND FOR PLACES 2020-2024 7. The pattern and extent of growth in demand is not evenly distributed across the townships and it is important to keep in mind the growth trend to September 2024. The following graph shows the overall long term demand which indicates that there will be high level of demand for extra places until 2024. Secondary Place Planning Group- Final Report Nov14 v1 Page 3 2013/14 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17 2019/20 2020/21 2021/22 2022/23 2023/24 2024/25 BOROUGH 2011/12 2012/13 2017/18 2018/19 Year 6 Pupils 2468 2420 2392 2447 2622 2614 2693 2847 2892 2902 2942 2963 2982 2967 Year 7 Expected Pupils 2382 2560 2533 2614 2769 2819 2828 2805 2857 2866 2839 Year 7 Places 2570 2550 2550 2610 2610 2610 2610 2610 2610 2610 2610 2610 2610 2610 Extra Places Needed enough places overall -4 -159 -209 -218 -215 -247 -256 -229 8. The above graph shows the overall net effect of movement in and out of the Borough between Year 6 and Year7. Each year this averages about 6%, so that in place planning terms the Local Authority does not expect to provide enough places for all children currently in Year 6 classes across the Borough. However, to take account of potential change to this trend, and allowance for parental preference and within year movement, the projections allow a margin of 3% for growth. Further background information on the movement of children across the borough boundary is set out in Appendix Four . SECONDARY SCHOOL PLACE DEMAND- HEYWOOD TOWNSHIP 9. There are two secondary schools in Heywood Township, both substantially re-modelled and re-built under the Building Schools for the Future Programme. Siddal Moor is a Community School with 210 Year 7 places, and a total capacity of 1050 places. Holy Family Roman Catholic/Church of England College is a joint faith Voluntary Aided School with 120 Year 7 Places, a total capacity of 600 places. EXPECTED DEMAND FOR YEAR 7 PLACES- HEYWOOD TOWNSHIP 2015-2019 10. In recent years there has been an increase in the number of children born in the Township, and this increase in numbers will move through to the secondary sector. At Secondary Place Planning Group- Final Report Nov14 v1 Page 4 primary school level additional places were provided on a short term basis at Woodland Community Primary (CP) School and Harwood Park CP School. An additional 15 Reception class places have been provided at Hopwood CP School on a long term basis. 11. The pie chart below shows the Heywood Year 6 pupil destinations for school year 2013- 2014. It shows the proportion of pupils progressing to the township’s secondary schools, and those choosing to attend schools outside the Township and the Borough. This trend is looked at each year and is the basis for projecting future demand for places. 12. Overall there are enough secondary places in the township to 2018. However, from 2017 there may not be a sufficient margin to allow for parental preference, growth and within- year movement, and so the provision of additional Year 7 places needs to be considered for the period 2017-2019, as shown by the following graph: Secondary Place Planning Group- Final Report Nov14 v1 Page 5 School year 2013/14 2014/15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 Year 7 Places 330 330 330 330 330 330 330 Expected Pupils 277 277 303 306 323 324 339 Extra Places Needed Enough places overall 7 6 -9 FUTURE DEMAND FOR PLACES IN HEYWOOD TOWNSHIP 2020-2024 13. The expected demand for Year 7 places between 2020 and 2024 in Heywood is shown below. There will be a need to monitor changes in demand to ensure there are sufficient places overall, with a margin for flexibility. 2013/14 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17 2019/20 2020/21 2021/22 2022/23 2023/24 2024/25 2011/12 2012/13 2017/18 2018/19 Year 6 Pupils 354 361 304 302 330 334 353 354 370 354 338 371 356 351 Year 7 Expected Pupils 315 307 277 277 303 306 323 324 339 323 310 340 325 321 Year 7 Places 330 330 330 330 330 330 330 330 330 330 330 330 330 330 Extra Places Needed enough places overall 7 6 -9 7 20 -10 5 9 SUMMARY AND PROPOSALS TO MEET THE ADDITIONAL DEMAND IN HEYWOOD TOWNSHIP 14. Whilst there are just enough places up to 2018, there may not be enough places to allow for parental preference, within-year growth or demand changes. Both Holy Family RC/CE College and Siddal Moor Sports College have indicated a willingness to accommodate more pupils. The proposal for consultation was that up to an extra 30 Year 7 places (One Form of Entry) are to be considered in the township, from 2017 onwards, to be provided at either Holy Family or Siddal Moor.

    Report to Cabinet Date of Meeting 29th September 2020 Portfolio Cabinet Member for Children's Services Report Author Fay Davies Public/Private Document Public Appendix 1 - Private Secondary School Places 2021 and 2022 Executive Summary 1.1 Rochdale Council is awaiting delivery of two new mainstream Secondary schools that are being delivered by the Department for Education, DfE, through the Free school programme. The DfE will not guarantee when the schools will open until planning consent for the schools is guaranteed and until a date for practical completion is set. 1.2 Until that date the council must work to meet its statutory obligation to offer every child living in the borough a place in Secondary school. 1.3 The Schools Organisation and Development Team are working closely with the DfE to deliver the new schools as soon as possible but must also plan for the scenario where any new school places are delayed. This report details these plans. Recommendation 2.1 That Cabinet approve the release of funds from Basic Need capital funding to deliver additional places at Wardle Academy for 2021 and 2022 as detailed in appendix 1. 2.2 That Cabinet recognise that the delivery of our much needed Secondary schools through the central government Free school programme leaves the council dependent on timings and decisions by central government with regards to the delivery of those schools, and consequently puts at risk delivery of its statutory duty to offer a school place to every child living in the borough. 2.3 That Cabinet approve the release of funds from Basic Need capital funding to meet the need to deliver 120 additional places for September 2021 in existing borough Secondary schools, as detailed in appendix 1.

The referral 1. Under section 88H(2) of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 (the Act) an objection has been referred to the adjudicator by a parent (the objector) about the admission arrangements (the arrangements) for the community secondary schools in Rochdale for September 2020. The objection is that the priority given to children on the basis of the proximity of their homes to the nearest school is unfair to some pupils. 2. The parties to this objection are the objector and Rochdale Borough Council (the local authority). Jurisdiction 3. These arrangements were determined under section 88C of the Act on 25 February 2019 by the local authority, which is the admission authority for the schools. The objector submitted her objection to these determined arrangements on 2 May 2019. I am satisfied the objection has been properly referred to me in accordance with section 88H of the Act and it is within my jurisdiction. 4. Regulation 22 of The School Admissions (Admission Arrangements and Co- ordination of Admission Arrangements) (England) Regulations 2012 says “For the purposes of section 88H(5)(d), where the adjudicator has determined an objection to the admission arrangements of a school or Academy, no objection may be referred to the adjudicator raising the same or substantially the same issues in relation to those admission arrangements within 2 years of the decision by the adjudicator.” Determination REF3486 made by the adjudicator in December 2018 considered similar issues to those in this objection.
