2 1. Introduction/Background
1.1 The Committee has requested an annual report on school organisation and pupil places based on the annual School Capacity (SCAP) return to the Department for Education. The data in this report is based on the School Census January 2017 and May 2017, the School Capacity Return 2017 (formerly known as the Surplus Places Return) and the birth data for 2016 and previous years from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The pupil projections are the figures supplied to the Education Funding Agency as part of the School Capacity Return 2017..
1.2 Previously the Committee has been made aware of the changing landscape of education provision and considered a range of factors and issues which impact on school organisation summarised below:
Government Policy – a market led model, more autonomy for schools, and choice of different types of provision for parents.
LA Statutory Duties – to ensure sufficiency of school places and to intervene in the case of failing schools (DSG funded schools only). The LA also needs to support our most deprived communities and provide the right balance of provision to meet local needs.
Government’s vision for LAs – to provide a ‘strong strategic role as champions for parents, families and vulnerable pupils’, and to promote educational excellence by ensuring a good supply of high quality school places…’
Factors affecting Pupil Place Planning – planning for future pupil numbers the local factors influencing the availability of places are school capacity, school popularity, school viability, birth projections, local population mix, future housing yield, demographics and migration. All these factors can be uncertain. Another factor which is affecting the LA’s ability to plan places is changes in planned admission numbers at schools no longer maintained by the LA, sometimes at short notice.
Education reform – has resulted in FE colleges being able to provide 14-16 education from September 2013. Increased autonomy and variety in the schools system has reduced LA influence and control over school organisation.
School funding reform – the changes to the national funding formula will have a major impact on schools in Sefton with many schools having budgets significantly reduced. Capital funding for schools has also been reduced and this includes school maintenance as well as creating additional places.
Demographic Issues – Members will be aware of the Council’s Local Plan and the options for new housing within the Borough. The DFE will not allow
3 local authorities to factor housing developments in to their pupil projections until planning permission has been granted.
Planning Areas – Sefton’s planning areas are based on geographical and ward boundaries. Some of the planning areas were re-organised in 2017 following the closure of St Ambrose Barlow Catholic High school in August 2016. Two secondary schools in Bootle had already closed (Bootle High and St George of England High) leaving only three schools and St Wilfrid’s High had closed in the Litherland secondary planning area leaving one school which was Litherland High. As a result of the secondary school closures some of the feeder primary schools have been moved to other secondary schools so the Bootle and Litherland secondary planning areas have been amalgamated into one area to align them with Sefton’s admission areas. To correspond with this the three former Bootle and Litherland primary planning areas (Bootle North, Bootle South and Litherland) have been amalgamated to form the “Bootle & Litherland primary planning area”. There are now ten planning areas: five for primary and five for secondary as agreed with the Education Funding Agency for the SCAP return.

7 8 Structure and Characteristics of School Provision
At the beginning of the 2018/2019 academic year there were 18 (11 to 16 and 11 to 18) secondary schools including 11 academies and 1 free school, 70 primary schools, 3 infant schools, 2 junior schools including 5 academies, 5 special schools and 4 nursery schools in Sefton. 48 primary and infant schools have nursery classes. There were 10 secondary schools with sixth forms.

Academies Community Voluntary Voluntary Foundation Free Aided Controlled School Nursery 4 Primary 5 32 33 5 Secondary 11 1 5 0 1 Special 4 1 Pupil 2 Referral Unit
In addition to this the two FE colleges in Sefton now teach 14-16 curriculum.
The denominational sector is very strong in Sefton, particularly in the primary phase where community schools form 45.4% of the total, 33.3% of the schools are Catholic and 21.3% are Church of England. In the Secondary phase, five of the 18 (28%) high schools are Catholic aided schools and only one high school (5%) which is now an academy has Church of England status. Kings Leadership Academy, Hawthorne’s Free School opened on 1 September 2012. Two more primary schools are the in the process of converting to academy status.
All except two of the 18 secondary schools in Sefton are co-educational. Two academies in Southport are single sex, one for boys and one for girls.
Ten of the secondary schools have a sixth form. South Sefton College provides post- 16 education for pupils in the Bootle and Litherland areas. The college merged with Hugh Baird FE College on 1st December 2017. The remaining 11-18 schools are located in the central area of the Borough with the exception of one in Southport. In Southport the vast majority of sixth formers attend sixth-form college whilst provision is made for Catholic students at Christ the King High School. In all parts of the Borough a number of sixth formers continue their studies in one of the two further education colleges.
There are two pupil referral units which provide education for excluded pupils and those at risk of exclusion. One provides for primary pupils (KS1-KS2) and the other secondary (KS3-KS4).
9 Pre-school provision is provided through a combination of nursery schools, nursery units in primary schools, private nurseries and playgroups and Family and Wellbeing Centres etc.
TRENDS IN PUPIL NUMBERS
Each year, the Authority produces five year forecasts for primary schools and seven year forecasts for secondary schools based on information from a variety of sources. The figures for primary pupil numbers are for January whilst those for secondary are for September when numbers are at their highest.
Methodology Used for Forecasting Pupil Numbers
Each year, following the completion of the January School Census Return which provides details of pupil numbers, projections of primary and secondary pupil numbers for the following years are updated.
The projections are based upon:
• the number of births in Sefton in the relevant year;
• pupil numbers, based upon School Census in January and October;
• trends in the pattern of admissions.
Primary Pupil Numbers
Forecasts of primary pupil numbers are based upon actual and estimated birth data provided by the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Each year, the LEA receives details of the actual births and all projections are updated accordingly. This however does not allow pupil numbers to be estimated for the whole of the planning period. Forecasts for these later years are based upon birth estimates provided by ONS and trends for each area.
The birth projections provided by ONS are updated every couple of years. The most recent projections available are the 2016 based figures. The most recent figures for actual births are for 2017 which are less than the 1993 based, 2010 based and 2016 based ONS projections but slightly higher than the 1996 based projections. The complexity of the relationship is indicated by the figures in Table 2.

Birth data is adjusted to relate to school years (i.e. September to the following August) rather than calendar years and these figures are provided in Table 3.

Where estimated, the Sefton totals are subdivided by area on the basis of the percentage of the total number of births which occurred in that area averaged over the last three years and adjusted as necessary to take account of trends; details are provided in Table 4. The area births, expressed as a percentage of Sefton births vary from year to year and this in turn affects the projected number of pupils admitted to reception classes in any year.
Table 4: Area Births as a Percentage of Sefton Births in 2017
Area % of Sefton Births
Bootle 26.72 Litherland 11.71 Crosby 15.48 Formby 4.32 Maghull & Aintree 10.73 Southport 31.04 SEFTON 100.00
12 Overall reception pupil numbers are then determined by establishing the relationship between the number of pupils who actually entered reception classes in the last three years and the number of births in the appropriate preceding years and then applying the three-year average to the births data.
For Sefton as a whole, this results in a slight increase in the number of pupils for whom primary school places must be provided. This increase in numbers varies slightly from year to year and is not evenly distributed across the different areas of the Borough as Table 5 shows.
Table 5: Relationship between Births and Intake into Reception Classes, 2017

Several factors contribute to this increase in pupil numbers. The shape of the Borough of Sefton and the extent to which a number of Sefton schools are located close to centres of population in neighbouring LEAs have resulted in a situation whereby a number of extra-district pupils are able to gain admission to Sefton schools on distance criteria. This is illustrated in Table 5a below. Since January 2013 both the numbers of primary pupils residing in other authorities attending schools in Sefton and those residing in Sefton attending schools in other local authorities have increased.

In addition, there is a marked south-north population movement within Sefton and the movement of families impacts upon the demand for school places in both the origin and destination areas. In the southern part of the Borough pupil turnover levels are very high. In some primary schools less than half of the pupils who entered as reception pupils are still on roll in Year 6. An increasing number of pupils are being admitted to Sefton schools from abroad, in particular from Eastern Europe, and these numbers can have a considerable effect on pupil projections.
The projected total number of primary pupils is calculated for each year by moving forward the numbers in the existing primary year groups and incorporating the projected number of reception pupils to be admitted in that year.
Secondary Pupil Numbers
Forecasts of secondary pupil numbers are calculated in a similar way to primary pupil numbers but are based upon the Year 6 cohort and the relationship between this and the intake into secondary schools.
At Authority level, the number of pupils admitted to Year 7 classes in secondary schools in September each year is slightly higher than the Year 6 cohort that left the primary sector at the end of the preceding term. However, at area level the pattern is one of contrasts, with some areas gaining large numbers of pupils whilst others lose significant numbers. Details for the cohort that transferred to the secondary phase in September 2016 are provided in Table 6.
Cross border movement of secondary pupils is illustrated in Table 5b below. Since January 2013 the numbers of secondary pupils residing in other authorities attending schools in Sefton have decreased while the numbers of pupils residing in Sefton and attending schools in other authorities have increased.

The projected total number of secondary pupils is calculated for each year by moving forward the numbers in the existing secondary year groups and incorporating the projected numbers of Year 7 pupils and post 16 pupils. However, as surplus places increase in some schools whilst other more popular schools remain full, adjustments are made to pupil projections to more accurately reflect these emerging trends.
Pupil yield from housing developments with planning permission have been included in the projections where Sefton’s Planning Department have obtained information about proposed phasing from developers. There are a number of large developments included in Sefton’s Local Plan which do not have planning permission so they have not been included in the current projections as directed by the Education Funding Agency but we will continue to monitor the progress on these sites.

SEFTON’S PLANNING AREAS
Sefton’s planning areas are based on geographical and ward boundaries. Some of the planning areas were re-organised in 2017 following the closure of St Ambrose Barlow Catholic High school in August 2016. Two secondary schools in Bootle had already closed (Bootle High and St George of England High) leaving only three schools and St Wilfrid’s High had closed in the Litherland secondary planning area leaving one school which was Litherland High. As a result of the secondary school closures some of the feeder primary schools have been moved to other secondary schools so the Bootle and Litherland secondary planning areas have been amalgamated into one area to align them with Sefton’s admission areas. To correspond with this the three former Bootle and Litherland primary planning areas (Bootle North, Bootle South and Litherland) have been amalgamated to form the “Bootle & Litherland primary planning area”. There are now ten planning areas: five for primary and five for secondary as agreed with the Education Funding Agency for the SCAP 2017 return.

Pupil Projections by Planning Area
The following pupil projections were submitted to the Education Funding Agency as part of the SCAP 2018 return.
The Total Planned Admission Number (PAN) is calculated using the planned admission number for each year group in each school. This may vary from year group to year group depending on changes made in previous years. Future changes to PANs are included where these are known in advance. Some of the secondary academy schools in Sefton have started to cap or reduce their intake numbers in Year 8 to 11 as they are unable to admit further pupils after the entry year due to their internal school organisational arrangements. This makes planning future places very difficult as the situation may change on a yearly basis. Sixth Form numbers are not included in the secondary figures as there are no planned admission numbers for Years 12 and 13. The graphs compare the total number of pupils with the total number of places but do not show where there may be a need for additional places or too many places in a particular year group.

Births in the area continued to rise until 2014/15 when they dropped but rose again the following year. Pupil projections indicate that pupil numbers will continue to rise. Pupil places have risen year by year since September 2015 due to the additional places added in the Catholic sector but this will stabilise by 2021/22.

Births in this area have been reducing since 2007/08 and intakes into Reception have reduced overall since 2015. These trends are causing the pupil projections to start to reduce over the next five years even though additional pupil yield has been included for proposed housing developments with planning permission in the area.

Birth rates have remained stable for this area which is also subject to pupil migration from other local authority areas. Intakes to Reception have also increased overall since 2015. The total PAN is reducing year by year as two of the schools have reduced their PAN. One school has reduced by 5 places from 2014/15 onwards and the other by 1 FE (30 places) from 2017/18 onwards and this change is working through the year groups. Additional pupil yield has also been included to allow for housing developments with planning permission in the area.

Birth rates for this area have been reducing since 2009/10 and overall intakes into Reception have also reduced since 2015. This trend has resulted in a reduction in the pupil projections towards the end of the five year period. Additional pupil yield has been included in the projections to allow for housing developments with planning permission in the area. Pupil places continue to rise due to additional places being added in central Southport from 2016/17 onwards. This should stabilise by 2022/23.

Pupil projections continue to rise based on the pupil numbers in the primary sector in this area and have exceeded the total PAN in some years. This is also partly due to intake numbers being capped by the two academies in the area which makes planning school places very difficult. The situation in Crosby will be kept under review

Places Pupils
Pupil places are continuing to grow until 2021/22 due to changes in the school admission numbers while pupil projections are declining based on the current numbers of pupils in the primary sector in Formby. However, as the schools in this area are popular it is likely that places would be filled by pupils from outside the area. Additional pupil yield has been included in the projections to allow for housing developments with planning permission the area.

32 EMPTY PLACES & SURPLUS PLACES
Explanatory Note
The following tables provide details of the numbers of empty places and surplus places by school and area. Surplus Places are taken from the DFE School Capacity Survey (SCAP) formerly known as the Surplus Places Return. This return uses May pupil numbers from the School Census return.
In the primary sector, the number of places is determined by multiplying each school’s admission number by the number of year groups in the school. Where the number has changed in a particular year the original admission number still applies to the existing year groups until they have worked their way out of the school. The new number applies to all new pupils admitted after that date.
In the secondary sector, the number of places is also determined from the admission number.
The Net Capacity is a measure of the number of places available at maintained schools based upon the teaching accommodation. For academies the capacity is based on the figure shown in their funding agreement.
The number of empty places is the difference between the number of pupils on roll and the number of school places. This can also give an indication of potential overcrowding.
The measurement of surplus places is based upon the Net Capacity which is determined by the sizes of individual teaching areas. If a school’s Net Capacity exceeds the number of pupils on roll, the numerical difference is the number of surplus places. No adjustment is made to figures to take account of those schools where the number of pupils on roll exceeds the Net Capacity. For individual sectors and areas, therefore, the number of surplus places is not the actual difference between the number of pupils on roll and Net Capacity.
