  • Secondary School Place Review Paper
    Secondary School Place review (October 2020) Background As part of the Council’s continual review of the supply of and demand for school places, it has become necessary to undertake a review of English medium secondary school places. The Council is experiencing large year 6 catchment area cohorts that are progressing through to secondary sector over the next four years, this will put pressure on the demand for secondary school places in the Vale and particularly for the Barry area. Living within a schools catchment area is a high priority for entry to secondary education after the removal of the feeder school system in September 2020. The large cohorts are expected to decline from 2024/25 onwards. Year 6 cohorts for Denominational and Welsh medium schools will meet future demand are not reflected in this review of secondary education together with Stanwell which currently operates a feeder school system for entry to secondary education. In order to manage the future demand for secondary school places at the year 7 intake, the Council has reviewed the effectiveness of catchment areas and admission arrangements in order to manage demand in the short term. Catchment Areas A school catchment area is a geographically defined area of addresses drawn up to ensure that all schools in an area receive a fair share of pupils in which children are eligible to attend a local school and are used; • To give parents an indication of their local school. • To help schools identify with the communities they serve. • To prioritise admissions to school when there are more applications than places available.

Letter Reference A reminder that all general letters to parents contain a reference number so that you can ensure that you have received all information. This letter 1/2017-18 is therefore the first of the academic year 2017 - 2018. If you find that you are missing any letters please telephone Reception for a spare copy. We use an IT system which allows us to send SMS text and email reminders to parents. The school recognises that for the majority of parents, receiving SMS text messages is a convenient, flexible and efficient way of receiving information. This functionality enables parents to receive reminders about parents' evenings, school events, attendance information as well as other important messages from your child's Director of Pupil Progress. We need to ensure we hold up-to-date contact phone numbers and email addresses for parents. A reminder that home/school communication is primarily via e-mail and the school website.

Schools are placed into one of five bands based on performance at KS4. Band 1 schools are those whose data show good overall performance and progress, band 5 schools are those where performance and progress are weak relative to other schools. 1.2 The secondary model uses four groups of data: i level 2 threshold including English/Welsh and mathematics ii capped points score iii attendance iv English/Welsh and mathematics average points scores. 1.3 Within each data group, relative performance is measured to take account of a selection of: i actual performance ii progress over time and, iii performance relative to context and cohort. 1.4 Each of the data groups is given a score, these scores are then combined for all four data groups to give each school a total score. These scores are then assigned to bands as follows: Band Score Range 1 11.0 to 17.6 2 17.6 to 24.2 3 24.2 to 30.8 4 30.8 to 37.4 5 37.4 to 44.0 1 2.0 SECONDARY
