The narrative report is designed to provide an explanation of the Council’s financial position and to assist in the interpretation of the financial statements. It also contains additional information about the Council in general and the main influences on the financial statements to provide a link between the Councils activities and challenges and how these impact on its financial resources. The narrative report is structured as follows: 1. About Cheshire West and Chester 2. Strategic principles and priorities 3. Summary of Performance 4. Summary of financial performance and main issues in 2020-21 5. Summary of Significant Items 2020-21 6. Explanation of the financial statements 1. About Cheshire West and Chester Cheshire West and Chester is a unitary authority with a population of 339,800 and covers 350 square miles. The borough is located in the North West of England and includes the historic city of Chester and the industrial and market towns of Ellesmere Port, Frodsham, Helsby, Malpas, Neston, Northwich and Winsford. About a third of the population lives in rural areas. The Council is responsible for ensuring a wide range of services are provided to the residents, businesses and visitors to the Borough. These include education, safeguarding vulnerable children and adults, social care, public health, highways, leisure, culture, waste collection and disposal, planning, housing benefits, regeneration and community engagement. In addition to providing or commissioning services the Council is also responsible for the collection of local taxation in the form of Council Tax and Non-Domestic Rates on behalf of itself and local agencies such as Police and Fire authorities. The Council is a politically led organisation and has adopted a Leader and Cabinet model. It has 70 elected members representing 46 wards across the Borough. The political make-up of the Council at 31 March 2021 is shown below. 3 Draft 2020-21 Statement of Accounts Following the local elections held on 6th May 2021, two new members were appointed to the Council; one member Conservative and one member Labour. 2. Strategic Principles and Priorities Cheshire West and Chester Council is an innovative organisation that seeks to pioneer new and improved ways of delivering services. As an ambitious Council we are determined to deliver the best possible services, improve the quality of life for all residents and help to tackle disadvantage. In February 2020 Cheshire West and Chester Council approved a Council Plan for 2020-2024 called ‘Play Your Part To Thrive’. This plan is supported by the Stronger Futures Recovery and Renewal plan which was published in December 2020 and which enabled the Council to refresh its plans in light of the opportunities and challenges arising from the pandemic. The Council Plan set out the Council's vision, what it wants to achieve, and the way its staff will work. The plan originally set out six priorities, but following the Council’s declaration of a poverty emergency in October 2020 the Stronger Futures Plan added this as a seventh priority: 1. Tackling the climate emergency 2. A Fairer Future – tackling the poverty emergency 3. Growing the local economy and delivering good jobs with fair wages for our residents 4. Supporting children and young people to have the best start in life and reach their full potential 5. More adults live longer, healthier, happier lives 6. Making our neighborhood’s even better places to call home 7. Delivering a more efficient and empowering Council The Council Plan is fully joined-up with other key plans and strategies across the borough and is monitored through a performance management framework - 79 performance indicators reported regularly through an online dashboard. The plan was developed alongside a four-year budget plan to ensure that resources are in place to deliver the focus areas. Financial Scenario In common with all Local Authorities, Cheshire West and Chester needs to manage a situation where the costs and demands of services are growing but the amount of funding available is reducing. Since the Comprehensive Spending Review of 2010 Central Government funding to the Council has significantly reduced. Against this backdrop the Council needs to manage growing demand for services, inflationary pressures, a need to invest in the local economy to promote growth and a desire to continually improve services. The Spending Round 2019 provided a one year financial settlement for councils for 2020-21 only. Whilst it was hoped that the Comprehensive Spending Review in 2020 would result in a multi-year settlement, and therefore give more certainty around funding for future years, the Spending Round 2020 again provided a one year settlement for 2021-22 only. Consequently, there remains considerable uncertainty about the funding for all Councils in future years. 4 Draft 2020-21 Statement of Accounts Due to this uncertainty the Council approved a single year Budget in February 2021 for 2021-22, coupled with an indicative budget for the following three years. The Council is currently facing a funding gap of £10.5m over the period 2022-25 despite £19.1m of savings being identified for that period and £23.8m of locally generated income. The Council’s budget, due to the way Government announcements have been made, and the subsequent uncertainty on the Council’s funding, includes significant elements of temporary funding. If this temporary funding (i.e. Revenue Support Grant, Improved Better Care Fund, Winter Pressures, Social Care Grant) is not made permanent this gap could increase to around £20.5m. Bridging a gap of this scale will be challenging, even given the Council’s track record of financial management. It will necessitate further savings proposals being developed and further rigorous review of all areas of the Council’s budget, ensuring all areas of spend are linked to its key priorities and maximising the impact on them, and the Council is currently considering options to bridge this gap. The uncertainly around the longer-term impact of Covid-19 on the Council’s finances further adds to this challenge. 3. Summary of Performance The following table highlights key areas of Council performance during 2020-21. Due to the reallocation of staff resources to support the Council’s response to the Covid-19 crisis, as well as specific issues with collecting certain data during the lockdown, a number of performance indicators are not currently available to be reported. People There have been reported improvements in key healthy lifestyle indicators. The number of people reporting that they do not smoke fell from 13.8% in the previous year to 11.3%. The percentage of people reporting that they are undertaking regular exercise has also improved, from 67% to 71.1% over the same period. Data across Children’s Social Care and Early Help and Prevention is showing that demand on services is increasing. Both the rate of children in care (75.4) and the proportion of referrals within 12 months of a previous referral (23.1%) have slowly increased through the year. The percentage of young people becoming the subject of a child protection plan for the second or subsequent time has increased to 23.3% compared to 17.1% for the previous year but was beginning to reduce towards year end.

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.

  • Secondary Information for Parents Booklet 2018/19
    Secondary Education First Admission to Year 7 Information for Parents 2020/21 Apply on line at: www.warrington.gov.uk/admissions Apply on line at: www.warrington.gov.uk/admissions INTRODUCTION Families and Wellbeing New Town House Buttermarket Street Warrington Cheshire WA1 2NH Dear Parents/Carers This booklet has been produced as a guide to all admissions to secondary schools in the Borough of Warrington. There are three types of secondary school admissions which are as follows: 1. Children transferring from Year 6 to Year 7 in September 2020 (referred to as normal rounds of admission); 2. In year admissions, which are all other admissions where children move from one school to another part way through a school year; and 3. Admissions to schools with an atypical age range, such as University Technical College. The booklet provides important information on the processes associated with admissions to schools and gives details of how places are allocated (normal rounds) which should help you make an informed decision about your preferences. Please take the time to read the booklet carefully before completing an application, even if you have already decided which schools you prefer. The law gives parents/carers the right to express a preference for which school you wish your child to attend. It is very important that you understand that this is not the same as being able to choose a school. Admission to your school of first preference depends on meeting the criteria that are explained in this booklet and availability of places at the school. The booklet tells you about the schools in Warrington, how to apply for a place and what to do if we cannot meet the preferences that you express.
