    Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea School Organisation and Investment Strategy 2016 Introduction The number of pupils on roll in state-funded schools in Kensington & Chelsea at the start of the 2015/16 academic year (both resident and non-resident) is as follows: 1 193 at 4 Nursery schools 7,282 at 26 Primary schools (6,800 plus 482 nursery) 4,822 at 6 Secondary schools (4,090 plus 732 in 6th forms) In addition: 50 at Latimer Alternative Provision Academy 96 at Chelsea Community Hospital School The population of the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea dropped from 169,494 to 155,594 in 2013 but has now risen to 158,741 in 2015. Nevertheless it is one of the most densely populated areas in Europe. The population turnover is estimated at 20% per year. Two wards are among the 10% most deprived in England and our schools have more than twice the national rate of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. The school population includes a rich diversity of cultures. Many new pupils are likely to be refugees, asylum seekers or from a transient population. Over 50% of the Borough’s school-aged population is of ethnic origin and nearly half identify English as a second language. According to the latest GLA projections the primary school population is expected to be significantly lower than was forecast in 2015 and by 2026 it will be nearly 1,000 lower. By contrast the projected number at secondary level is higher. By 2021 that number will be nearly 500 higher before leveling off by 2026.

It builds on the reports considered by Leadership Team on 13 November 2019 and 15 January 2020. It sets out the latest position on the revenue budget proposals for 2020/21 before Full Council set the Council Tax and Budget for 2020/21 at the meeting on 4 March 2020. 1.2 This report concerns the General Fund budget and Capital Programme. The Housing Revenue Account (HRA) is “ring-fenced” from the general fund. The proposed budget for the HRA is therefore considered by a separate report. 1.3 In July 2019, the Council published its Medium-Term Financial Strategy which set out the financial position for the next three years. At that time, it was identified that based on current assumptions, expected spending plans over the next three years exceeded income levels by around £40m. All Local Authorities have a statutory requirement to set a balanced budget and since this date, work has been underway to close the £20m budget gap for 2020/21.

Your request has been dealt with under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. Our response to your request is as follows: 1. Please provide the precise number and list of locations/names of primary and secondary schools in London where air pollution breaches legal limit, according to your most recent data (I believe the same metric has been used across the years, of annual mean limit of 40ug/m3 NO2, but please clarify). If you are able to provide more recent data without breaching the s12 time limit please do. If not, please provide underlying data from May 2018 (see below). Please provide as a spreadsheet with school name, pollution level, and any location information such as borough. This data is available on the London datastore. The most recent available data is from the London Atmospheric Emission Inventory (LAEI) 2016 and was published in April 2019. The data used for the 2018 report is LAEI 2013. Please find attached a list and a summary of all Educational Establishments in London and NO2 levels based on both the LAEI 2013 update and LAEI 2016. The list has been taken from the register of educational establishments in England and Wales, maintained by the Department for Education, and provides information on establishments providing compulsory, higher and further education. It was downloaded on 21/03/2019, just before the release of the LAEI 2016. The attached spreadsheet has recently been published as part of the LAEI 2016 stats on Datastore here.
