Chairman's announcement and receipt of petitions 1 - 2 5. Notices of Motion: 5.1. From County Councillor D. Batrouni That this Council notes and welcomes the Welsh government’s announcement to increase its capital grant to 65% - or 75% if the school has an additional learning needs or pupil referral unit – for the 21st century school programme. Further notes that the Mutual Investment Model’s (MIM) intervention rate has been increased to 81% if that option is chosen.

Members Questions: 6.1. From County Councillor P. Pavia to County Councillor S.

My congratulations, therefore, to everyone involved in the Initiative as it celebrates its twenty sixth anniversary.” 1 Welsh Heritage Schools Initiative WELSH HERITAGE SCHOOLS INITIATIVE dates back 26 years resulting from a meeting arranged by Lady Trotman-Dickenson and held under the auspices of the Institute of Welsh Affairs. Her committee accepted a proposal to devise a competition relating to the implementation of the history curriculum for Wales. Its objectives were to encourage young people in primary, secondary, special schools, sixth forms and colleges to take an interest in Welsh heritage, appreciate the contribution made to it by their families and communities, to help to preserve it and to contribute to it themselves. THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS The competition would not have taken place and continued without the support of sponsors. Throughout the 26 years Sir Julian Hodge (Jane Hodge Foundation) has been a major sponsor and in recent years there has been significant support from Admiral Group plc.

CONSULTATION ON ADMISSION ARRANGEMENTS AND CHANGES TO ADMISSIONS POLICY INCLUDING SCHOOL CATCHMENT AREAS MEETING: Special Cabinet DATE: 18th March 2015 DIVISION/WARDS AFFECTED: Countywide 1. PURPOSE: Monmouthshire has recently undertaken a review of its School Admissions policy and entered into a consultation on the proposed changes. The review proposes the following changes for implementation for admissions from September 2016. 1.1 The consultation process proposed an amendment to the current oversubscription criteria to be applied to school admission applications where the number of applications received for a school exceeds the number of places available. The proposals include the oversubscription criteria offering priority to children residing within the catchment area, over those children residing outside of the catchment area but with older siblings on roll at the preferred school. Details of the current and proposed oversubscription criteria are available in appendix 1. 1.2 To amend School catchment areas for Monmouthshire Secondary Schools The purpose of this report is to provide members with information on the results of the recent consultation exercise undertaken as part of the review, and in turn seek approval from members as to whether the proposed changes should be implemented. Item 4ii 2. RECOMMENDATIONS: 2.1 To agree to continue with the current oversubscription criteria for the 2016/17 Admission Round subject to the removal of prioritisation for multiple birth children under each category of the oversubscription criteria. The full criteria can be found on page 10/11 of appendix 2, 2.2 To agree to undertake a further consultation process on proposed changes to the admission policy for implementation during the 2017/18 academic year.

The data is updated annually and therefore may be subject to change in future years. Yes in either the level 2 or level 3 column indicates that the school concerned is considered as an RVC Contextual School for that level only (e.g. only where an applicant has taken qualifications at that level and at that institution). A no in either column indicates the school concerned is not considered an RVC Contextual School for that level.
