Petitions and Public Address OPERATIONAL ITEMS 7. CAPITAL PROGRAMME UPDATE The Chief Education Officer, County Treasurer and Director of Environmental Services report as follows:- This report provides details of the outcome of Oxfordshire's NDS(4) bid and sets out the further schemes being brought forward into the Capital Programme to utilise these additional resources. The report also contains a revised and updated version of the Preparation Pool that has been to the Strategy & Resources Committee. On 11 April 2000 details were received from the Department for Education & Employment on the outcome of Oxfordshire's NDS(4) bid. The total value of Oxfordshire's allocation is £6,795,970. This funding is phased over the next two financial years. This represents 53% of the Authority's total NDS(4) bid and provides resources for 9 of the 28 schemes bid for. This compares with an allocation for the NDS(3) bid of £2,896,000 (24% of the total). The schemes approved were the top six schemes which will replace the last 3 aluminium buildings in the County and the top three Horsa buildings. In addition to this a separate list of condemned temporary buildings was submitted and three of the top four schemes have been approved. The schemes are highlighted EM7 in Annex 1 and an indication is given where these schemes will now be brought into the Capital Programme. The Preparation Pool has been revised and updated to include all the schemes where some feasibility assessment has been carried out. The Preparation Pool was submitted to the Strategy & Resources Committee but has now been revised to take account of the NDS(4) approved projects. Page 1 EM7 Annex 2 lists the current Preparation Pool. The replacement of Sandhills Primary School is included in the Capital Programme with a start after 2000/01. An outline project submission has been approved but there has not yet been a detailed project appraisal. The City Council refused planning consent for the housing development on part of the site which would provide the funds for the scheme. The Secretary of State then granted consent on appeal but the City Council has challenged that decision in the High Court. That will at least delay the scheme, possibly by up to two years. If the challenge is successful the scheme could not proceed. Even if it is not it is possible that land values will have fallen and building costs increased during the period of delay in which case the feasibility of the project will be reassessed. In the meantime some further preparatory work can be undertaken without committing substantial costs and it will be necessary to continue maintaining the existing buildings. The Sub-Committee are recommended to approve the additions to the firm programme of the schemes listed in Annex 1 subject where necessary to the approval of project appraisals. 8. PROJECT APPRAISALS Outline Project Submissions and Detailed Project Appraisals prepared by the relevant Chief Officers (EM8):- Outline Project Submissions ED488 - Gosford Hill, Kidlington; ED487 - Banbury School – Wykeham Hall; ED482/1 - Bicester Community College. Detailed Project Appraisals ED425/2 - Langtree School, Woodcote; ED471/2 - Oxford School. The Sub-Committee are RECOMMENDED to approve the above Outline Project Submissions and Detailed Project Appraisals. 9. EDUCATION DEPARTMENT POLICY ON COMMUNITY SAFETY Report by Chief Education Officer (EM9). The Crime and Disorder Act (1998) made the involvement of the Education Service in the arena of crime reduction a statutory responsibility. It thus formally acknowledges the important link between educational achievement and the prevention of youth crime. Educational difficulties, including truancy, exclusion and low attainment have long been recognised as contributing to the onset of youth crime. This is made clear in the Audit Commission's 1996 report "Misspent youth: Young People and Crime" which was an important precursor of the Crime & Disorder Act 1998. School improvement and individual achievement can be more successfully developed in crime-free, secure communities. Such communities grow from the active involvement of properly developed and socialised members of society. Recent developments in Citizenship education set out schools' curriculum responsibilities in this regard. However, the duty of the Local Education Authority is Page 2 broader than that and it has seemed helpful and important to set out briefly the policy of the Education Department. The report commends a draft policy to members for approval. The Sub-Committee are recommended to: (a) note and endorse the policy; and (b) encourage officers involved in implementing the policy to ensure that the Education Department plays an appropriate part in the field of Community Safety. 10. SCHOOL STUDENT COUNCILS IN OXFORDSHIRE Report by the Chief Education Officer (EM10). The report describes how School Student Councils in Oxfordshire have been supported through a series of collaborative conferences over the last 18 months. The role that School Student Councils can play in supporting the new citizenship curriculum, in giving voice to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and increasing the participation of young people is explored. The Sub-Committee are asked to comment on the further development of School Student Councils, to request that officers advise school Governing Bodies of the advantages of inviting students (via School Student Councils) to observe their meetings and to bring forward a further report on developing a Children's Parliament for Oxfordshire. 11. PROPOSED INCREASES IN EDUCATION DEPARTMENT ESTABLISHMENT The Chief Education Officer reports as follows:- The Education Department increasingly needs to appoint staff to the central establishment at short notice, often on a temporary basis, because of successful bids for external funding such as Department for Education & Employment Standards Fund grants. In addition, the ability to help schools under special measures or with serious weaknesses may require additional posts funded via the Schools Requiring Additional Support (SRAS) budget. Set out below are increases in establishment which arise from these pressures, and which need Committee approval as they will not be funded from within the departmental budget.

Looking back through it you can see that some things have changed completely. FA Bartlett, writing in the 1911 magazine, describes how when he was at school in the 1860s lessons began at 6.40 am in the Spring and Summer terms. Boys worked until 8 when they all went home for breakfast, returning at 9.45. They went home again for lunch at 12 noon and afternoon lessons resumed at 2.15. Barlett doesn’t say what time lessons finished for the day but one suspects that it wasn’t early. Some things haven’t changed however. Exactly one hundred years ago a writer in the Abingdonian lamented that “the decay of manners does not allow us twentieth century decadents to write a decent letter (like our grandparents) set out with style and circumstance – a scribbled note perhaps, better a wire or ‘phone.” Substitute the words email and text message and it could be a twenty-first century lament. The production of the magazine is now thoroughly twenty-first century, so much so that all last term one of the two sub-editors worked remotely because he had another commitment on Wednesday afternoons and the design consultant, Simon Greenland OA 1996, is working from Australia.
