................................................................................ 47 2 | P a g e 1.0 Executive Summary Local Authorities have a statutory duty towards the spiritual, moral, mental and physical development of the community by securing sufficient education provision to meet the needs of the population within their area. This duty encompasses provision for all primary and secondary aged pupils from to sixteen years of age; provision of post-16 places; provision of early years places from birth to the age of five; and provision of specialist education places for any child that requires a place from birth extending to the age of 25. This place planning strategy makes recommendations for adjustments in the supply of future provision based on forecasts of need. The five year forecasts include population growth that is anticipated from Newham’s housing development programme. The strategy has been developed with engagement from head teachers and governors from schools in Newham. It includes provision for Special Education Needs and Disabilities, Early Years, and Post-16 planning. By providing information to residents and stakeholders, the purpose of this strategy is to provide a platform for transparency and engagement on decision-making for future school provision. The last ten years has seen an increasing child population in Newham which has increased the demand for education provision. The Office of National Statistics mid-year population estimates have identified Newham as having the third highest 0 to 15 aged population in London. Although recent birth trends indicate that the large increases previously experienced in births have now slowed down, this has also been reflected in the birth rate in Newham. Newham’s Local Plan has identified approximately 19,000 new homes to be delivered over the next five years and beyond. This place planning strategy incorporates the latest pupil projections based on known live births, housing yields and current trends to ensure resources are prioritised accordingly to deliver the best provision for all. 1.1 Mainstream Education Newham has responded proactively to the increases in its mainstream primary aged population by providing additional primary places through the expansion of existing schools. The primary January School Census (2018) evidenced an increase of an additional 6,000 pupils being educated within Newham from January 2010 to January 2018. After a period of continuous primary school roll growth the latest pupil projections have identified: 1. The level of live births has stopped rising and has levelled out over recent years. The significant increases in the number of pupils joining reception year is not forecast to increase further and therefore primary numbers will stabilise into the future, other than in those areas where significant additional housing is planned. 2. A number of primary schools have raised concerns over an increasing number of unfilled places experienced in their schools. This is a trend that has been experienced across London due to a decrease in births. Factors such as the unaffordability of homes, the economic viability of families to remain in London and trends in migration rates have caused uncertainty. 3. Sufficient infrastructure is required to meet the need of 19,000 planned new homes in the borough. The occupation of these developments will increase the population of Newham 3 | P a g e and subsequently the demand for school provision. The potential pupil yield from residential developments impacts specifically in the pupil place planning areas of: Beckton - forecasts show a deficit of places from 2021/22; Canning Town & Custom House - a potential deficit of places from 2023/24; and Stratford - a deficit of places from 2022/23. Canning Town & Custom House primary place planning area shows the largest deficit of places arising from the pupil yield from new housing. Potential increases from pupil yield will have an impact across all school year groups. Provision has been made within the Infrastructure Delivery Plan to provide additional primary places in response to the housing developments. It is important to acknowledge that forecasts based on anticipated pupil yield are more volatile than forecasts based on known birth data and school cohort growth patterns. Many external factors impact pupil yields such as the completion date of the development; changes in housing mix or number of bedrooms; the development being occupied by existing Newham residents thereby not increasing the overall population but moving from over-crowded housing to new housing; economic and social factors, national and local policies and trends can impact

  • Headlines by Rachel Mcgowan Mobile Phone Protocol Mobile Phones Are, to Many People, an Essential Feature of Everyday Life. in L
    Issue 90 Working together to promote & celebrate achievement Friday 8th February 2019 Name & Tutor Group: Headlines by Rachel McGowan Mobile Phone Protocol Mobile phones are, to many people, an essential feature of everyday life. In light of the recent media attention about mobile phones in schools I wish to reiterate what has been Plashet School policy for over six years. I am aware that many parents want their daughter to have a phone on their journey to and from school to help ensure her safety. Within school students are safe and are able to contact home should they need to through reception. Similarly, parents/guardians can send messages to students by telephoning the school. Whilst on school site students are not allowed to use their mobile phones or have them visible at any time. This rule is in place to ensure that students concentrate entirely on their studies and, in unstructured time, they are not engaged in activities with a mobile phone that could put them or others at risk and they instead spend their break and lunchtimes talking rather than looking at a screen. If a student is seen using a mobile phone on school premises it will be confiscated and held in school for three working days. A letter will be sent home alerting parents/guardians of the confiscation. The confiscated mobile phone will be returned to the student’s parent or guardian after three days. If a parent wishes their daughter to have a mobile phone for the journey to and from school, the phone remains the responsibility of that student and the school does not accept any liability for any mobile phone lost or stolen in school whilst in the child’s possession.

  • IR35 Compliance for Head Teachers Targeted Summer School Offer
    www.newhamconnect.uk [email protected] Issue 30 7 July 2017 Keeping Newham Connected Dear Colleagues I am writing this letter ahead of the NAPH and NASH conferences taking place on Wednesday and Friday respectively. At both meetings I will have presented on the new Education and Skills Service and how it will engage with you and other stakeholders and partners in our continued efforts to improve outcomes for children and young people. I will also have updated on Best for All, which is designed to transform our approach to meeting the needs of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. We also include those who are vulnerable in a range of ways: those newly arrived from overseas (often without family); those with mental health needs and those who remain susceptible to exclusion—fixed term or permanent, on account of behaviours which are unacceptable but which often leave them with no place to go. With over eighty schools, voluntary sector partners, other Council services ready to support and the funding coming through High Needs, Schools Block and Health, we should be able to achieve the change Newham needs in order to create stability in the system and assure the best outcomes possible for our most vulnerable young people. I am also highlighting a letter for head teachers, here about high-needs funding allocations for this year only. I wrote recently to let you know that we would be saying goodbye to Officers who have worked with you over a number of years and some more recently who have made a significant contribution.
