The decision was made following an extended period of pre-statutory and statutory consultation with a view to creating an arrangement of secondary schools in Southampton which will: • help to raise standards of achievement • improve staying on rates at 16 • retain more pupils within the city by providing good local schools which meet the needs of parents • remove surplus places which represent a poor use of resources • create the opportunity of establishing learning campuses bringing together a range of services for children and young people • prepare for investment to replace, renew and upgrade school buildings through Building Schools for the Future 2. Detailed reasons for the recommendations upon which the Cabinet had due regard were contained in Appendix 1 to the report to Cabinet(Technical appraisal of proposals for New School West and New Schools East and Linked proposals and other Matters to be considered by the decision maker in respect of the Learning Futures Secondary Education Review): The report and its appendices took into account the guidance set out in Appendix 2, the Department for Education and Skills document Establishing a New Maintained Mainstream School: A Guide for Local Authorities. 3. Cabinet’s view was that the report clearly identifies one bidder as having the strongest overall bid. After considering the report, and all other submissions, taking all relevant factors into account, especially Oasis’s submission concerning standards, curriculum and collaboration, special educational needs, community learning, extended school, needs of families and finance Cabinet concluded in favour of Oasis Community Learning. DETAILS OF ANY ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS 1. The option of not closing the existing schools, and therefore not establishing new schools was considered. This approach was advocated by a number of consultees. It could be argued that the potential disruption of major change could be avoided, and that less radical change could lead to more evolutionary changes to the current system. 2. This approach has been rejected as it would have the effect of leaving the underlying problems unaddressed which necessitated the review of secondary education in the city in the first place. It would mean that a further review would be required causing additional, prolonged uncertainty.

    New Schools in the East and west of Southampton Summary The City Council is currently deciding a competition between bidders vying to run two new secondary schools which will replace Grove Park, Millbrook, Oaklands and Woolston schools. It is a rather sad story and I would counsel against two pairs of proposals, those from the Southampton Education Trust and from the United Learning Trust. I would also suggest caution over the bids from Oasis Community Learning, although I believe they are unambiguously the best on offer. Schools Background Southampton’s secondary schools are not very good. Perhaps the best up‐to‐ date indicators are the number of 2006 school leavers who gained good (A‐C) GCSEs in Maths and English—minimal skills for twenty-first century employment—and the percentage of leavers not in education, employment or training. The data1 makes depressing reading: GCSE English & NEET 2005 Maths 2006 St Anne's Catholic School (girls) 70% 1% Regents Park Community College (girls) 56% 7% The Sholing Technology College (girls) 52% 5% England Average 48.20% Southern Area Average 7% Bitterne Park School 47% 10% Cantell Maths and Computing College 47% 14% St George Catholic School for Boys 35% 5% Woolston School Language College 34% 10% Bellemoor School (boys) 31% 8% Redbridge Community School 30% 16% Grove Park Business and Enterprise College (boys) 23% 11% Chamberlayne Park School 19% 14% Woodlands Community College 18% 19% Oaklands Community School 17% 20% Millbrook Community School 16% 21% Parental confidence in the schools also tells

The visit was the first monitoring inspection in connection with the academies initiative. Evidence Inspectors observed the academy’s work including 24 parts of lessons. A range of documentation was scrutinised and meetings were held with the Principal, other leaders, groups of students and governors. A discussion with the academy’s education adviser from the Department of Children, Schools and Families was conducted on the telephone. Context Oasis Academy Mayfield is an 11-16, mixed secondary school with 879 students on roll. Specialism in global communications is at an early stage of development. Most students are from White British backgrounds and very few speak English as an additional language. There are far more boys than girls. The number of students eligible for free school meals is broadly average. An above average number of students have learning difficulties and/or disabilities. There was considerable resistance to the closure of the two predecessor schools, Woolston School Language College and Grove Park Business and Enterprise College.

The Millbrook proposal is a bold vision predicated on the belief that it is indeed true that ECM must be central to the Learning Campus concept. This paper outlines a strategic overview of a Learning Campus and sets out to demonstrate why only the Millbrook site has the capacity to be developed in such a way as to provide wrap around care for students in their secondary years whilst also linking intol6+ provsion.

  • Itchen Ferry Village Education Pack
    ITCHEN FERRY VILLAGE EDUCATION PACK ITCHEN FERRY EDUCATION PACK TEACHERS NOTES AND CONTENTS The information contained in this pack provides a good basis for a worthwhile project based on the history of Itchen Ferry Village. This lost village, almost destroyed by enemy action and now subsumed into the suburb of Woolston, was once described as ‘the most interesting village on the banks of the Itchen’. The pack covers a wide range of topics connected with the history of Itchen Ferry Village. It is chiefly directed at Key Stage 2 students (aged 10 – 11) but can be adapted to suit other ages and abilities. There are plenty of opportunities for cross-curricular work with links to English, History, Drama, Geography, Mathematics, Science, Music, Sport and Art. The Pack is presented in ‘manageable’ chunks, each with a ‘suggested follow up’ activity to support a range of curriculum subjects. Again, these can be adapted to suit the needs of individual classes. (The section on Smugglers, for example, could include the effect of ‘Chinese whispers’, be extended to dramatisation, be limited to an acrostic poem, or a ‘Wanted’ poster of a well- known local smuggler, detailing description / characterstics / aliases / crimes etc). Clearly, all the activities may be extended to stimulate thought, debate and imagination (not necessarily in that order). For more able students, it may lead to such questions as ‘How far does Geography determine / influence History?’ (Particularly relevant in the case of Itchen Ferry Village) Follow up activities such as ‘Find out about the role of the Spitfire in World War II’, utilising a range of sources (internet, books, interviews, etc) can lead to valuable independent research and widen collaborative effort.

  • DRAFT ITEM NO:C1(A)
    DRAFT ITEM NO:C1(a) SUBJECT: SECONDARY EDUCATION REVIEW - PRE- STATUTORY CONSULTATION DECISION-MAKER: CABINET MEMBER FOR CHILDREN'S SERVICES AND LEARNING DATE OF DECISION: 5 DECEMBER 2005 REPORT VERSION No: 5 FORWARD PLAN No: CL01176 KEY DECISION? YES STATEMENT OF CONFIDENTIALITY None WARDS/COMMUNITIES AFFECTED: All wards in the city. SUMMARY The city’s secondary schools and the Council have a unique opportunity at this time to undertake a restructuring of provision in accordance with government imperatives that will leave schools well placed to enjoy the benefits of specialist status, greater collaboration, and more autonomy, ultimately delivering higher standards of achievement across the city. However, secondary schools are collectively facing a number of significant issues in the future including too many places, concerns about standards in some schools, deficiencies in buildings and sites and, in many cases, sizes of school that are too small to maintain long-term educational and financial viability. This report proposes the undertaking of pre-statutory consultation commencing in late January 2006. It recognises the intrinsic links between a successful configuration of secondary education for the City and other key developments such as those in the areas of transport, neighbourhood renewal and the achievement of social and economic well-being. The report is essentially about the review justification and process. RECOMMENDATIONS: (i) That approval be given to the undertaking of pre-statutory consultation as part of the secondary education review; (ii) That approval of the detailed proposals for pre-statutory consultation be delegated to the Executive Director of Children’s Services and Learning following consultation with the relevant Cabinet members.
