2.5 Summary of Current Capital Projects

a. Building Schools for the Future:

• Garth Hill College is being rebuilt and will open in September 2010 with an additional form of entry. By rebuilding the school this will remove 22 suitability issues, £1,654,964 of condition works and £219,800 of Access works from the current list of identified need.

b. Commissioning of a new 2FE Primary School at Jennetts Park.

c. Primary Capital Strategy for Change:

• Phase One projects are underway to address capacity issues in the following schools:
Holly Spring Infant & Junior School Expansion from a PAN of 60 to a PAN of 90
Sandy Lane Primary School Creation of additional capacity of 47 places
Owlsmoor Primary School Expansion from a PAN of 70 to a PAN of 90
Meadow Vale Primary School Expansion from a PAN of 60 to a PAN of 90
Crown Wood Primary School Creation of additional capacity of 97 places

• Completion of the final wave of Childrens Centres across the Borough

• Creation of a school meals Kitchen at Cranbourne Primary School.

d. The redevelopment of Kennel Lane Special School to address sufficiency, suitability, condition and access issues.

e. Construction of a new Post 16 Centre at Edgbarrow secondary school

f. Construction of a new Youth Centre in Great Hollands.

g. The Bracknell Open Learning Centre has been subject of a major refurbishment/extension in 2009.

2.6 Schools Planned Maintenance

Funding for planned maintenance is a significant issue for schools with £14m of identified need of which £4m is priority 1 (urgent). The allocation of devolved capital funding to schools is formulaic based on pupil numbers and does not take into account the condition of buildings. This creates difficulties for smaller schools in older buildings. This AMP already includes a section on the prioritisation of schools Devolved Formula Capital and the Council will be working with schools in 2010 to agree a way forward that ensures that the urgent condition needs of schools are met.

5 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

3 Purpose

3.1 The purpose of the AMP is:

a. To provide a statement of identified need for building works for each of the Department’s sites and buildings.

b. To provide a basis for prioritisation of funding between establishments and service areas which is fair and transparent.

c. To help local building managers and service heads prioritise the allocation of devolved budgets.

d. To form part of the business case for bids for Capital funding.

e. To assist with service planning.

f. To link in with the objectives of the Council’s Corporate AMP.

g. To contribute to the delivery of high quality public services in Bracknell Forest.

h. To ensure Best Value in the use of resources.

i. To make best use of the Department’s land and buildings.

4 Scope

4.1 The AMP covers 80 Children, Young people & Learning establishments:

Table Five: Current Property List ESTABLISHMENT NUMBER Schools Primary Schools 24 Infant Schools 3 Junior Schools 3 Secondary Schools 6 Special Schools 1 Pupil Referral Unit 1 Caretakers Houses 25 Total 63

Youth Service 7 Children’s Social Care 3 Early Years 5 Adult and Community Learning 2 Total 17

Grand Total 80

4.2 The AMP does not include the Bracknell Forest Education Centre, the office bases at Seymour House or Time Square, as these are covered under the Council’s Corporate and other departmental AMPs.

6 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

4.3 The AMP considers each establishment under the following headings:

Table Six: AMP Headings HEADING CONSIDERS Sufficiency Whether there are sufficient service points of the right size in the right locations Suitability Whether existing establishments are fit for purpose Condition The Maintenance needs of existing establishments Access Accessibility by disabled people

4.4 The AMP only considers capital investment in sites and buildings, and the de minimis level for capital expenditure set by Bracknell Forest Council is £2,000. Items costing less than £2,000 are classified as revenue expenditure and do not form part of the AMP.

5 Methodology

5.1 Floor plans of establishments are maintained to reference buildings and rooms on site.

5.2 Sufficiency items are drawn from the School Places Plan and Service Plans.

5.3 Building surveys are undertaken for Condition, Suitability and Access, and works are prioritised against common criteria. A summary of building surveys is included at the end of this Section.

5.4 Need derived from government or Council objectives is also included.

5.5 The AMP is subject to consultation prior to approval by the Executive Member for Education.

5.6 Survey data is disseminated and accessible to all establishments.

6 Consultation

6.1 The consultation process includes the following stakeholders:

a. Building surveys are undertaken by arrangement with local building managers who are able to highlight site issues of concern at the time of survey.

b. Building survey data is provided to Service Heads and Headteachers as a hard copy report.

c. Survey data can also be viewed, queried, sorted and downloaded from an on line database by authorised persons in return for a modest annual subscription.

d. Net Capacity Assessments of schools are subject of agreement between the Headteacher and the Council.

e. There are termly meetings with the Diocesan authorities to ensure that the needs of VA schools are identified and considered.

7 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

f. CYP&L Service Heads are consulted on the draft CYP&L AMP. Information is then passed to the Corporate Asset Management Group for agreement and for relevant items to be incorporated into the Corporate AMP.

g. Children, Young People & Learning DMT are consulted on the draft AMP

h. Corporate Property will advise on the technical aspect of the AMP.

i. The Head of Corporate Property is consulted to ensure the departmental AMP compliments and contributes to the Corporate AMP.

j. The AMP is reported to the Executive for approval

7 Building Surveys and Capacity Assessments

7.1 Condition Surveys are undertaken by the Council’s Building Group at a frequency determined by the type and use of the premises:

Table Seven: Frequency of Condition Surveys Type and Use of Premises Survey Frequency Comment Key Building & Essential Services Annually High risk properties Other Essential services Triannually Non-essential or key service building Quinquennially

7.2 Suitability Surveys are commissioned from consultants on a 3 yearly basis.

7.3 Access Audits are reviewed in the light of changes to the DDA and other legislation and the majority have been renewed within the last three years.

7.4 Net Capacity Assessments are used to calculate Planned Admissions Numbers of schools by analysing the sizes and uses of individual rooms within schools. They are renewed on a school by school basis on completion of significant construction works and signed off by the Headteacher.

7.5 All the above information is held as data on the CYP&L Asset Management database which is web hosted and is accessible to schools under a Service Level Agreement.

7.6 In addition the Council’s Building Group hold building survey data on Fire Risk Assessment, Prevention or Control of Legionella and Asbestos.

8 Sufficiency

8.1 Considers the number, size and location of service points across the Council in relation to demand for services.

8.2 Sufficiency is also known as Basic Need, and is the highest priority under the AMP because it impacts directly on the Council’s ability to deliver its key services. Sufficiency issues may be addressed by providing new service points (e.g. building new schools), or by relocating, expanding or reducing the size of existing service points.

8.3 Bracknell Forest is currently experiencing a period of expansion in response to rising population, which is driven in part by the proposed construction of new housing in the Borough.

8.4 In respect of Schools the Council has a statutory responsibility to secure sufficient pupil places, and the vehicle for this is the School Places Plan (SPP). The SPP provides a five

8 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

year forecast of pupil places and compares predicted school rolls (demand) against the measured capacity of school buildings from the Net Capacity Assessments. Pupil forecasts also consider population data, housing development, catchment areas/feeder schools, and entry and leaving ages. The Council makes an annual return to the DFE on surplus places.

8.5 In respect of non school services, sufficiency planning is undertaken by Service Heads as part of the preparation of their annual Service Plans.

9 Suitability

9.1 Is defined as: how well premises meet the needs of service users and staff and contribute towards the standard of the service being provided. This could also be seen as “fitness for purpose”.

9.2 The highest priorities under Suitability are those items to remedy where the service cannot be delivered and then those where the delivery of the service is inhibited.

9.3 Suitability surveys are undertaken of all premises by consultants, and where government guidelines exist (e.g. DFE design guide Building Bulletins for schools) these are used as a benchmark against which the fitness for purpose of the establishment is measured. Where there are no government guidelines, suitability is benchmarked against minimum standards set by the Service Head. Surveyors do gap analysis by comparing the existing buildings against the optimum (or minimum) standards and propose and prioritise remedial measures.

9.4 Suitability issues identified in the surveys include:

a. Size/shape of rooms: which may be too small or the wrong shape.

b. Poor Environment: for example too hot or too cold, poor ventilation, lighting or acoustics.

c. Location: where associated rooms need to be co-located, and for separation of incompatible spaces.

d. Fittings and Fixed Furniture: relates to the appropriateness and adequacy of fittings and fixed furniture.

e. ICT infrastructure: relates to the adequacy of ICT facilities, power supplies and data links.

f. Health & Safety: which includes compliance issues arising out of health & safety legislation or from risk assessments.

g. Security Issues: which relate to the particular circumstances of the establishment in its location, arising from reported incidents or risk assessments.

9.5 In recent years the Council has had insufficient resources to fund suitability improvements and this work is largely funded from devolved budgets supplemented by external funding where this is available.

10 Condition

10.1 Is defined as: The physical state of premises and grounds to ensure safe and continuous operation. The condition of buildings has a significant impact on the delivery of services

9 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

and where condition is allowed to deteriorate this has a negative effect, creating disruption including the potential for closures.

10.2 Building Condition Surveys are undertaken by qualified surveyors and engineers from Building Group who visit each establishment to assess its condition. They provide a cost estimate for the repair, and an assessment of its urgency (i.e. the year the work should be carried out), and identify the impact of the defect in consultation with the building user. Condition surveys consider all the buildings on site against a list of constructional elements (for example, the roof, windows and doors, mechanical services etc.).

10.3 Through its annual capital programme, the Council aims to improve the condition of all buildings through a centrally managed Planned Maintenance Programme, however this is subject to the availability of funds. The initial focus for maintenance budgets is to address the most serious Priority 1 (urgent) works identified in the Condition Surveys.

10.4 The Council has a limited budget for planned maintenance for schools which is managed by CYP&L, and in addition it is assumed that schools should also fund this work from their devolved capital budgets. The budget for non schools planned maintenance is managed by Corporate Services.

10.5 Where the Council undertakes construction projects as part of its strategic capital programmes such as Building Schools for the Future or the Primary Capital Strategy for Change, then high priority condition items will also be addressed if these fall within the scope of the project.

11 Access

11.1 Is defined as the accessibility or otherwise of sites and accommodation by disabled people.

11.2 Access Audits are undertaken for all establishments by consultants and are updated in response to any changes in disability legislation or guidance.

11.3 In respect of schools, the Council has a policy of supporting the inclusion of pupils with special needs, including physical disabilities, into mainstream education wherever possible and practical. This is a reflection of both national and local attitudes. Under the Department’s Accessibility Strategy, schools have been tasked with creating their own School Accessibility Plans drawing on the information provided in the Access Audits. These are management plans to illustrate how and when the school will address inclusion issues, including physical access.

11.4 The highest priorities under Access for are those works required in respect of individual pupils, service users, staff or building users who are registered disabled or with statements for special needs for physical access. After this, priorities should be implemented in priority order commencing with priority 1 items from the surveys.

11.5 The latest LA Accessibility Strategy for Schools (2006-2009) is currently under review.

11.6 The Council has maintained a rolling programme of access improvements to public buildings, with the annual budget for schools of £200K being managed by Children, Young People & Learning and the annual budget of £100K for non school establishments being managed by Corporate Services.

12 Site and Building Plans

12.1 Accurate site and building plans are essential to facilitate Asset Management Planning as they are the frame of reference for all of the building surveys. Establishments also use

10 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

them to plan the use of rooms and the allocation of space and for the general management of the sites and buildings.

12.2 The Council maintains CAD drawings of sites and buildings which are updated following completion of significant building works on site.

13 Asset Management Database

13.1 Site and building plans and building survey data for CYP&L establishments are maintained by CYP&L on an on-line AMP database which can be accessed by establishments on line in return for a small annual subscription. Building survey data for sufficiency, suitability, condition and access can be viewed, sorted, queried and downloaded over the internet and there is also a report writing tool.

13.2 Building data on fire safety, legionella and asbestos is maintained by Corporate Services.

14 Prioritisation – General Principles

14.1 Priorities for capital funding are derived from one of five sources:

a. For compliance with statutory legislation

b. To meet Basic Need for sufficiency

c. Building Surveys for suitability, condition and access.

d. In response to Government or external initiatives.

e. In response to Council or local initiatives.

15 Prioritisation – Compliance Issues

15.1 The Council’s Corporate Services Department holds building survey data and manages rolling programmes of Legionella, Fire Safety and Asbestos works across all of the Council’s buildings. They also provide training, advice and guidance to local building managers and responsible persons to assist them in undertaking their responsibilities. Legal compliance issues including Legionella, Fire Safety and Asbestos are the highest priority under the AMP.

11 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

16 Prioritisation – Building Surveys

16.1 Works derived from building surveys are prioritised as follows:

Table Eight: Prioritisation Matrix PRIORITY SUFFICIENCY SUITABILITY CONDITION ACCESS Basic Need A items Urgent Urgent 1 Assessed through Unable to deliver Immediate this Severe barrier or the Sufficiency & the service year or next year hazard for Organisation Plan disabled people

17 Prioritisation – Government or External Initiatives

17.1 The Council may also give priority to proposals which support Government initiatives and objectives, including:

17.2 Extended services: The creation of facilities to provide additional public services from existing establishments. Examples include health care, child care and adult learning.

17.3 Workforce Remodelling: Alterations to the accommodation in schools to reduce the administrative burden on teachers, freeing them up to concentrate on teaching and learning. Examples include enlargement of admin offices and creation of Planning Preparation and Assessment rooms.

17.4 Post 16: Works to support the expansion or development of post 16 provisions either at individual schools or across the Council.

17.5 Sustainable Development: Works in support of environmental management objectives including energy conservation, provision of renewable energy, water management, waste and recycling, transport and travel plans.

17.6 Inspection reports: e.g. Ofsted reports which may identify the need for works to school buildings to address specific issues or to support service improvements or challenging circumstances.

12 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

17.7 Building Schools for the Future: This is a 15 year capital programme to replace or refurbish all secondary and special school buildings. Bracknell Forest is in wave 15 of 15 on the programme however we were awarded a One School Pathfinder project (£40m) to rebuild Garth Hill College which is planned to be opened in 2010. Masterplans have been prepared in respect of the remaining secondary schools which could form a single programme of work within the next 10 years to be implemented in the following priority order:

Kennel Lane School (0-19 special school) new build
The Bracknell School new build
Easthampstead Park School refurbishment & new build
Edgbarrow School refurbishment & new build
Sandhurst School refurbishment & new build
Ranelagh VA School refurbishment & new build

Forward planning for school places has also identified the requirement for a new secondary school to be built to meet demand arising from proposed new housing, and this will also form part of the BSF programme.

17.8 Primary Capital Strategy for Change (PCSfC): This is the second strategic DFE capital programme to refurbish/remodel half of all primary schools, including VA schools over the period 2009/22. DFE have announced the first wave of funding of £8.4m in 2009/11. The criteria for selecting the 50% of primary schools to be refurbished/remodelled include suitability, condition, accessibility from the AMP data plus deprivation and attainment. The highest priority under the PCSfC is the creation of sufficient pupil places and schools in the first phase of works under the PCSfC include:

Holly Spring Infant School Expansion from a PAN of 60 to a PAN of 90
Sandy Lane Primary School Creation of additional capacity of 47 places
Owlsmoor Primary School Expansion from a PAN of 70 to a PAN of 90
Meadow Vale Primary School Expansion from a PAN of 60 to a PAN of 90
Crown Wood Primary School Creation of additional capacity of 97 places

17.9 The capacity required to meet rising school rolls will be met by expanding existing schools where possible and by supporting the construction of new Primary Schools to meet new housing build, for example Jennetts Park in South Bracknell which is planned to be completed in 2011. In addition all primary schools will be brought up to the same minimum standard of provision by creating facilities such as school meals kitchens where these are not currently provided on site.

18 Prioritisation – Local or Council Initiatives

18.1 The Council’s Service Plan is the three year work programme which draws together all the actions and targets associated with the Council’s six over-arching priorities and Medium Term Objectives for 2009-11

Priority one: a town centre fit for the 21st century:
Priority two: protecting and enhancing our environment:
Priority three: promoting health and achievement:
Priority four: create a borough where people are, and feel, safe:
Priority five: value for money:
Priority six: sustain economic prosperity:

18.2 The Children and Young People’s Plan 2006 – 2009 continues to support the implementation of Every Child Matters and more recently the Children’s Plan [DCSF 2007]. The Bracknell Forest CYP Trust has agreed to roll forward the current plan, with a view to publishing a new plan on 1 April 2011 and is a key mechanism for improved integration and partnership within and across children’s services. The Children’s Trust [from 1 April 2008]

13 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

is responsible for delivering the vision in the plan which focuses on the five outcomes for children and young people
Be Healthy
Stay Safe
Enjoy and Achieve
Make a Positive Contribution
Achieve Economic Wellbeing

18.3 ICT Development Plan: This is the plan for maintaining and developing the ICT systems to support all service areas in the Department. A recent significant project is the Integrated Children’s Services IT systems to meet the Government’s requirement on sharing information about children and young people both within local authorities and with partner organisations.

18.4 Adult Learning Plan: This is the three year development plan for adult learning in Bracknell Forest. A significant recent project is the reconstruction/refurbishment of the Bracknell Open Learning Centre.

18.5 Early Years and Childcare Development Plan: This is the strategic plan by the Early Years and Childcare Partnership for the provision and development of services aimed at the 0-5 age group. Significant recent projects include the creation of Children’s Centres across the Council.

18.6 CYP&L Special Education Policy and provision Document: Is concerned with the special education of children and young people with special or additional needs. This is being reviewed in consultation with schools in 2010.

18.7 Curriculum Development: Works to support particular curriculum areas in schools e.g. science, technology or music where these are required to support the general curriculum or specific performance targets.

18.8 Specific Development Opportunities: For example land sale or land swap opportunities which may come up.

18.9 Section 106 Contributions: Are paid by developers to pay for the impact on the Council’s infrastructure from their development. S106 contributions must be spent on sufficiency - enhancing the capacity of service points.

18.10 School Amalgamations: Where an infant and junior school may be amalgamated to become a primary school in response to local circumstances, though none are currently planned.

18.11 Masterplans of sites and establishments to inform decisions about future development potential and in anticipation of future grant funding.

18.12 Grant Funding: Projects that may be subject of specific grant funding e.g. from the LSC, DFE or Big Lottery.

18.13 To support specific establishments in challenging circumstances, for example a school in special measures.

18.14 Kitchen refurbishments to support the school meals service and the Healthy Schools Initiative

18.15 Works to Caretakers Houses to bring them into line with “Decent Homes” standards.

14 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

19 Prioritisation – The Capital Programme

19.1 Each year the Executive of the Council approves the Council Capital Programme together with indicative budgets for the following two years. The prioritisation of need in the AMP s used to support business cases for bids for inclusion on the capital programme. Available resources however are limited and so not all bids are successful. The prioritisation process set out in the AMP is used to prioritise the list of bids.

19.2 The relative priority of bids will be determined by the CYP&L Director and Departmental Management Team (DMT), who will also decide between bids of equal priority. The outcome of this process is a list of Departmental bids that is shaped by the availability of capital funding through the Council and the opportunities that exist for external funding.

19.3 The Council seeks to supplement the Capital Programme with external funding, where this is available. In many cases funding streams are joined together to bring funding from different sources. This includes the use of Devolved Formula Capital (DFC) held by schools (see Section 2), and funding from external sources including S106 contributions from developers which are used to meet the impact of the development on the Council’s infrastructure.

19.4 The CYP&L 2010/11 Capital Programme is as follows:

20 Capital Projects

20.1 Approved capital projects are implemented through the procedures set out in the Council’s Capital Strategy. The design and construction of projects is undertaken by in-house and external construction professionals. Best Value is ensured through compliance with the Councils Corporate Procurement Manual and Contract Standing Orders.

20.2 Where establishments have devolved authority to implement their own capital projects, they do so in accordance with guidance from the Council.

20.3 VA schools have complete autonomy to implement their own capital projects, and the Diocesan Authorities provide assistance and expertise as required.

20.4 Capital projects will take into account issues such as sustainability, Whole Life Construction, low maintenance and security.

21 Sustainability

21.1 Each year, in consultation with the Energy Management Team and other experts in the Council, the CYP&L department publish a Schools Annual Environmental Management report. The report considers schools performance in the management of energy, water and waste (including recycling and waste analysis) from the previous financial year. The document highlights performance levels, priorities, and trends and makes recommendations about environmental management. This report can be viewed on the Councils website at http://boris.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/children-young-people-and- learning/scl-schools/scl-planning-and-property.htm

21.2 The CYP&L department has a representative at the Local Authority Carbon Management Project (LACMP) whose aims are to implement a corporate strategic policy that has been initiated as a response to a number of national and local aims to reduce Carbon emissions.

16 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

21.3 New buildings and extensions initiated by CYP&L are subject to Energy Briefs at an early stage of planning to ensure environmental management issues are addressed. Larger projects may also be subject to a BREEAM rating which is an externally accredited benchmark of environmental performance, for example the new Garth Hill College will have a BREEAM rating of “Very Good” when it is completed in 2011.

21.4 SALIX funding has been taken up by two schools within the Borough for projects within the school to reduce energy bills and carbon emissions.

22 Surplus Accommodation

22.1 Surplus accommodation, buildings or sites are reviewed at a service and departmental level to identify compatible alternative uses. Where there are no compatible service or departmental uses, surplus assets are offered to the Council’s Corporate Asset Management Group. Where no compatible alternative uses can be identified, surplus assets may be earmarked for disposal where this is appropriate. Adastron House, previously an office base in CYP&L department has been identified as being surplus and is currently being sold by corporate property.

22.2 Consideration is given to whether vacant space in buildings could be used for other purposes, such as community or private sector use; or premises could be used in a different way to avoid the necessity to build more permanent accommodation or provide additional temporary accommodation. Joint or shared use of buildings can often create income generation and enhance community facilities by providing Extended Services, however compatibility of use is also a consideration, for example where the surplus accommodation is on a school site.

23 Review and Updating of the AMP

23.1 The AMP will be reviewed and updated in accordance with the principle of continuous improvement, which will be achieved as follows:

a. Timely updating of CAD plans and building surveys in response to changes in legislation, guidance or completion of significant building works on site.

b. Review of the draft updated AMP, to be undertaken by CYP&L DMT and the Corporate Asset Management Group.

c. Incorporation of government policy, best practice and relevant current initiatives through scrutiny of published policies and guidelines, networking with other Authorities, and attendance at the Regional and National Building and Development Officers Groups.

24 Performance Measures

24.1 The AMP performance measures for 2010/11 are as follows:

a. To ensure that all basic need across the Council is met in accordance with demand, and especially in respect of the provision of pupil places.

b. To have outline plans in place to address the accommodation issues at all schools where there is, or is predicted to be a significant surplus or deficit of places.

17 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

c. To ensure that net capacity assessments of individual schools are completed as soon as possible after the completion of significant alterations to their organisation or buildings that could affect their capacity.

d. To bid for Capital funding in 2011/12 in accordance with the priorities set out in this AMP and to aim to bring all establishments in each service area up to the same standard.

e. To undertake a review of planned maintenance with schools with a view to reducing/mitigating the current backlog of identified need.

25 Disputes Resolution

25.1 Headteacher or Service Head is dissatisfied with the outcome of any decision or survey or any other aspect of the service, they should notify the Head of property & Admissions in the first instance.

25.2 If agreement cannot be reached, either side should refer the matter to the Chief Officer Performance & Information, who will endeavour to resolve the issue as outlined in the previous stage of the procedure. Then if not resolved the matter would be referred to the Director of Children, Young People and Learning.

SECTION 2

SCHOOLS

1. Executive Summary

1.1. Sufficiency: New schools need to be built and existing schools need to be expanded to meet the forecast demand for pupil places. The pressure is currently most acute in North Bracknell.

1.2. Condition: There is £14.9m of Condition work in schools, of which £4.3m is priority 1, and the backlog of works is a significant issue for schools.

1.3. Suitability: There are only 5 priority 1 items for Suitability in schools, following a sustained programme of targeted suitability works in previous years.

1.4. Access: There is £10m of Access work in schools of which £2.1m is priority 1.

2.2 The AMP does not include the Bracknell Forest Education Centre, as this is covered under the Council’s Corporate and other departmental AMPs.

3 Schools: Sufficiency

3.1 Sufficiency: The trend for rising school rolls is forecast to continue in the Council's School Places Plan (SPP) for 2009-14. The following factors are driving the demand for new places:

a. Current New Housing Developments: Two major developments ‘The Parks’ (former Staff College site) and Jennett’s Park (formerly known as ‘Peacock Farm’) in South Bracknell are now well underway as is the smaller development at Wykery Copse. Despite a marked slowdown during 2008/9 due to the economic conditions and corresponding slump in the housing market, construction has continued, albeit at a slower pace, and these developments are expected to be completed over the coming years. Demand from Jennetts Park and Wykery Copse will be met by the construction of the new Jennetts Park Primary School which is expected to be opening in September 2011. Demand from the Parks development will be met by expanding Crown Wood Primary School as required in response to demand for places.

b. Proposed New Housing Developments: Government housing targets will see the construction of further new housing in the Borough over the next 10 years and this could be likely to result in the construction of around 5 new primary schools and 1 new secondary school. Possible locations for the new housing include the land to the North of Warfield/Whitegrove in the North of the Borough and the Amen Corner site in the North West. In the longer term the trend for more new housing is likely to continue resulting in further pressure to create additional new schools and to expand existing schools. There will also be likely to be changes to school designated areas as part of this.

c. Demographic trends, in combination with smaller in-fill housing developments have created demand for additional primary school places, especially in the North of the Borough. Proposals have been drawn up to consider expansion of the Meadow Vale and Holly Spring schools by one form of entry each to meet this demand. Additional secondary places are being created at Garth Hill College and Edgbarrow which are being increased by one form of entry from September 2010. Following new construction works in the school, the number of places at Ranelagh will also increase to 155 from the same date.

20 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

d. Neighbouring authorities. Bracknell Forest schools have shared designated areas with Wokingham and the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead. The designated area for Charters Secondary School (located in RBWM) currently includes an area in the North of Bracknell Forest. The impact of rising rolls in these Authorities could impact on demand for places in Bracknell Forest, and cross-border developments are regularly monitored.

e. As a result of the Education and Skills Act 2008 the compulsory learning age has been raised to 18 from 2013. Pupils in Years 7 and 8 in September 2009 will be obliged by law to stay in education until the age of 17, and those pupils in Year 6 in September 2009 and all years thereafter will be required to stay in education until the age of 18. This is anticipated to create additional demand for Post 16 places.

3.2 The following table summarises the Short Term Strategy to create 178 new pupil places in the intake years of schools to meet demand for pupil places:

GRAND TOTAL 757 825 935

3.3 Additional capacity is also being created at Sandy Lane and Crown Wood to bring their accommodation into line with their admission numbers.

3.4 In the medium to long term, sites for new schools are being identified through the Site Allocations project. Proposals are being considered for up to 5 new primary schools and one new Secondary school to meet demand from new housing development and background demographics.

4 Schools: Suitability

4.1 There are only 5 priority 1 items for Suitability in schools, following a sustained programme of targeted suitability works in previous years. The number of remaining priority 2 items which impair the delivery of the curriculum is still significant at 288. Of these, the most significant items are undersized or wrongly shaped classrooms, and shortfalls in the number of specialist teaching areas. Kennel Lane, the PRU and Owlsmoor Primary school have the greatest number of suitability items.

21 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

4.2 The strategy is to address as many suitability works as possible, subject to the availability of funding. Projects for 2010/11 include the Kennel Lane redevelopment which will address suitability issues.

4.3 The following is a summary of Suitability Issues identified at all Schools.

5 Schools: Condition

5.1 There is £14.9m of Condition work in schools, of which £4.3m is priority 1. Of these the priorities are health & safety works and works which would cause significant disruption or school closure such as roof replacements, boiler replacements etc. The schools with the highest priority 1 need are Garth Hill College and Great Hollands Primary School.

5.2 The backlog of Condition works is a significant issue for schools and the Council will be undertaking a review during 2010/11 with a view to agreeing a way forward with schools to address the backlog, including funding for planned maintenance.

5.3 As part of this strategy for tackling Condition, schools are advised to make Priority 1 condition items their highest priority for DFC funding after Health and Safety and Compliance works. Where schools are unable to pay for their Priority 1 condition items, the Council has limited funding to assist schools in meeting their planned maintenance commitments.

6.1 There is £10m of Access work in schools of which £2.1m is priority 1. The schools with the highest priority 1 need are Sandhurst secondary and St. Michaels (Easthampstead) Primary School.

6.2 The strategy is to implement a rolling programme of access works to schools identified from the Access Audits completed in 2009. The highest priority will be given to works required in respect of individual pupils, service users, staff or building users who are registered disabled or with statements for special needs for physical access. After this, priorities should be implemented in priority order commencing with priority 1 items from the surveys.

7 VA Schools

7.1 Responsibility for work to VA school premises is shared between the school’s governing body and the local authority (LA). The LA is liable for playing fields (including sports pitches and hard surfaced games areas) and for buildings on those fields and related to their use. All other buildings issues at VA schools are the responsibility of the Governing Body.

7.2 Funding Programmes for VA Schools include:

a. DFE Basic Need and Targeted Capital Funding (TCF) grant, which VA schools have previously been able to bid for. This is currently under review by the DFE.

b. DFE LA Co-ordinated VA Programme (LCVAP) grant, which is calculated by formula and administered by LAs. There are no limits on the size of a project that can be supported by LCVAP, nor any restrictions on the type of capital project, as long as the capital work is the governing body’s liability.

c. DFE Devolved Formula Capital (DFC) which is paid directly to VA schools in the same way as for maintained schools. VA Schools do not need to seek approval to carry out capital work to the school premises.

25 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

8 Schools: Devolved Formula Capital (DFC)

8.1 The following information sets out the arrangements for the use of DFC funding that have been discussed with schools with a view to agreeing a common approach to priorities of funding for all schools, and highlighting the necessity for schools to be using their DFC for the maintenance of school buildings. The currently limited response to the consultation process for this discussion has indicated that schools are “concerned about the lack of funding for planned maintenance” and that they “would argue that spending should be targeted on those areas where we can achieve the maximum impact on the quality of teaching and learning in the school”.

Does the school have to use its DFC for urgent / priority works?

8.2 DFE on their website state: “It is reasonable for the local authority to expect a school to contribute DFC to projects. This should be agreed locally and set out in the Asset Management Plan”.

Basis of Allocation

8.3 DFC budgets are allocate to each school via the LA under a formula based on pupil numbers.

The Purpose of DFC

8.4 The purpose of DFC as stated by DFE is to “provide each school with its own capital money to address its own priorities”.

Prioritisation of DFC

8.5 Under local management rules it is for schools to decide how to prioritise this expenditure within the specific priorities set out by DCSF, which are: “New buildings and other facilities, including ICT, or capital repairs/refurbishment in accordance with priorities set by each school and in line with the local Asset Management Plan”.

8.6 In deciding how to prioritise this funding it is essential that schools do not neglect their buildings, but consider all their longer term premises and infrastructure needs, and the longer term benefits of improving them. Schools must deciding how to prioritise this funding in accordance with the guidance given in the AMP which includes proper consideration of the prioritised need under Condition, Suitability and Access.

8.7 DFC is given for capital investment in buildings and ICT equipment. The government’s expectations for ICT are set out in Fulfilling the Potential: Transforming teaching and learning through ICT in Schools. DFC cannot be spent on other equipment unless this is incidental to, and at the margins of, a larger building project – for example, a project to provide new classrooms which requires directly associated fixtures and equipment. Expenditure on such equipment must not be a major part of the expenditure funded from DFC.

8.8 DFC may be used to fund small capital projects; to pay for more substantial capital projects through accumulation over periods of up to three years, or as a contribution to a larger capital project where other funding comes from another source, such as the LA.

26 Bracknell Forest Council CYP&L AMP 2010-13

8.9 In considering priorities, it is important to strike the right balance between what is essential and what is desirable. In prioritising the use of DFC, schools should allocate funding to projects which meet the eligibility criteria in the following order:

a. Urgent works to address compliance issues, such as Health and Safety or works required to fulfil the schools obligations under legislation such as the Disability Discrimination Act.

b. Condition works, and schools should implement all Priority 1 works from their condition surveys plus as many Priority 2 items as possible.

c. Upkeep of ICT by purchasing/renewing hardware and equipment. Consistent with the guidance “Learning Teaching and managing using ICT” which can be viewed on the DFE website at: http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/wholeschool/ictis/

d. Lower priorities will be for each school to decide, but can include:

o Suitability works from the Suitability surveys that link to raising educational standards through the School’s own Development Plan.

o Accessibility works from the Access Audits that link to targets in the School Accessibility Plan.

o Supporting the school workforce programme – and in particular projects that address the implications of the National Agreement Raising Standards and Tackling Workload.

o Supporting the development of a broader, more flexible curriculum for 14-19 year- olds.

o Making school fully inclusive, including measures to improve behaviour and projects for improved facilities for children with SEN

o Improvements to security, safety, protecting both people and property

o Improvements supporting better delivery of the curriculum, including specialist teaching areas such as science and technology, and interactive white boards

o Support for pupils with behavioural problems

o Staff accommodation for a larger and wider range of support staff, or improving accommodation to help teachers make the most effective use of time spent on key activities like planning, preparation and assessment; or providing innovative and flexible spaces for teaching and learning needs.

o The development of community use of facilities (Extended Services) and integrating education and other local authority services within the school. This can include investment in such areas as nurseries, childcare facilities, healthcare and lifelong learning facilities

o Improvements to social, play and recreational areas where these address curriculum or behavioural needs.

o DFC funding can be used for improvements to school grounds as well as school buildings, with the exception of VA schools where it cannot be used for improvements to school playing fields.
