City and County of Cardiff Dinas a Sir Caerdydd CITY AND COUNTY OF CARDIFF DINAS A SIR CAERDYDD COMMITTEE OF THE COUNCIL 6 APRIL 2000 CABINET PROPOSAL AGENDA ITEM 7 Admission Arrangements 2001/2002 Background 1. The Education (Determination of Admission Arrangements) Regulations 1999 requires the County Council to review the Schools Admissions Policy annually. All consultation had to be completed by 1 March 2000 and the policy must be determined by the Council by 15 April 2000 for implementation in September 2001. 2. The Committee of the Council of 10 February 2000 approved the County Council’s School Organisation Plan which identified the imbalance in the supply of school places in areas of Cardiff and stated the intention to address this issue by changing admission arrangements to community secondary schools. 3. The draft Schools Admissions Policy was issued for consultation on 11 January 2000 to headteachers, governing bodies, diocesan directors, neighbouring LEAs and other interested bodies. The consultation document detailed the proposal to replace the current first criterion of the transfer to secondary education arrangements (attendance at a linked primary school) with the requirement for residence within the catchment area of the secondary school. 4. The use of residence within catchment area as first priority is consistent with the admission policies of the majority of Welsh Councils. 5. The paper stated also that, as a consequence of the proposal to end primary-secondary admission linking arrangements, it had been necessary to propose amendments to the catchment areas of Llanrumney, Llanedeyrn, Radyr, Cantonian, Whitchurch and Cathays High Schools. 6. In Llanedeyrn, the changes would transfer the area covered by Bryn Celyn Primary School from the Llanrumney High School catchment area to Llanedeyrn High School C:\TEMP\cab29 - admissions.doc 31/03/00 catchment area. In 1999, 4 children transferred from this school to Llanrumney High School and 28 to Llanedeyrn High School. 7. The Danescourt estate has been included in the Radyr Comprehensive Schoool catchment area. Previously parents were given the dual option of Radyr Comprehensive or Cantonian High School. In 1999, parents of 46 pupils of Danescourt Junior School opted for Radyr Comprehensive and 1 pupil for Cantonian High School. 8. In Gabalfa, the proposed changes would transfer the area covered by Gabalfa Primary School from the Whitchurch High School catchment area to the Cathays High School catchment area. In 1999, 57 children transferred from this school to Whitchurch High School and no children transferred to Cathays High School. Issues 9. Comments were received through the consultation process from: The Headteachers/Governing Bodies of Gabalfa Primary School, Cathays High School, Whitchurch High School, Cardiff High School and St Mellons Church in Wales Controlled Primary School Parents, residents, County Councillors and Assembly Members A petition with over 1,100 signatures was received from parents/residents from the Gabalfa area. 10. The main responses were: ( i) The following objections to the removal of the primary-secondary admissions linking arrangements: Friends will be separated after years together Brothers and sisters could be placed in different schools Arrangements should be phased in over number of years (ii) The following objections to the transfer of the Gabalfa Primary School catchment area from Whitchurch High School to Cathays High School: Unsafe route from Gabalfa to Cathays High School Strong links with Whitchurch High School Sufficient spaces to continue to accommodate children at Whitchurch High Loss of local high school (Glantaf) in the late 1970s The transfer of alternative primary schools should be considered (iii) The Headteacher and Governing Body of Cathays High School have expressed their concern over the continuing fall in pupil numbers at the school. C:\TEMP\cab29 - admissions.doc 31/03/00 (iv) No objections have been received from the Headteachers/Governing Bodies of Llanrumney High, Llanedeyrn High and Bryn Celyn Primary Schools, or Radyr Comprehensive, Cantonian High and Danescourt Junior Schools where changes to the catchment areas are proposed. 11. The Schools Admissions Policy 2001/2002 (See Appendix) has been amended as a result of the consultation as follows: (i) The change to the first criterion has been retained as any delay in implementing this change in the admissions criteria could lead to the demand for additional accommodation for schools in the north of Cardiff. Parents should be made aware, however, of their right of appeal for their preferred school in accordance with the Council’s Admissions Policy. (ii) The amendments to the catchment areas of Llanrumney, Llanedeyrn, Radyr and Cantonian High School have been retained as no objections were received. (iii) The amendment to the catchment areas of Whitchurch and Cathays High Schools has been withdrawn. 12. Removing the proposal to change the catchment areas of Whitchurch High School and Cathays High School leaves the imbalance of numbers between these two schools. Other schools in the south of the city suffer from falling rolls with consequent detrimental effects on their school budgets. Furthermore the Council is preparing a draft Unitary Development Plan which will identify significant new green field and brown field housing development sites. These developments will impinge on the provision of school places over the next ten years. In the light of all these factors, there is a need to review both the provision of places and the admission arrangements and to prepare proposals which will address the issues identified. ADVICE This report has been prepared in consultation with Corporate Managers and reflects their collective advice. It contains all the information necessary to allow Members to arrive at a reasonable view, taking into account the advice contained in this section. The Corporate Manager dealing with this report is Jeff Hobden. Legal Implications The Education (Determination of Admission Arrangements) Regulations 1999 require Admission Authorities to consult and determine school admission arrangements annually. Achievability C:\TEMP\cab29 - admissions.doc 31/03/00 The implementation of the proposals will enable the Council to avoid providing additional accommodation at schools in the north of Cardiff and the consequent adverse implications on an already restricted capital budget. Consequences The proposals to amend the admission arrangements will assist in correcting the imbalance of the supply of school places in community secondary schools. The proposal not to make changes to the catchment areas of Whitchurch and Cathays High Schools leaves an unresolved problem of over and under provision of school places in these areas. BYRON DAVIES Chief Executive 9 March 2000 Background Papers Education (Determination of Admission Arrangements) Regulations 1999 School Organisation Plan 2000-2005 Welsh Office Circular 26/99- School Standards and Framework Act 1998: Guidance on the Preparation of School Organisation Plans Statutory Instrument 1671 – The Education (School Organisation Proposals (Wales) Regulations 1999 The following appendix is attached:- The Schools Admissions Policy 2001/2002 CABINET PROPOSALS 1. Committee of the Council approves the attached Schools Admissions Policy 2001/2002, so that the policy is determined by 15 April 2000 for implementation in September 2001. The amended policy: (i) removes the current first criterion of the transfer to secondary education arrangements (attendance at a linked primary school) (ii) states the new first criterion to be residence within the catchment area of the secondary school (iii) amends the catchment areas of Llanrumney, Llanedeyrn, Radyr and Cantonian High Schools C:\TEMP\cab29 - admissions.doc 31/03/00 (iv) confirms that no change will be made at this time to the catchment areas of Whitchurch and Cathays High Schools. 2. The Deputy Mayor (Schools and Lifelong Learning) prepares further proposals to address the issues identified in paragraph 12, and to bring forward a further report in due course.

ADMISSIONS TO NURSERY SCHOOLS AND CLASSES The County Council is the Admissions Authority for all maintained Community Nursery Schools and Classes. Children normally take up a part-time place at a nursery school or class in the September following their third birthday. It is normal for parents to approach the Headteacher of their preferred nursery school or class. On behalf of the Chief Schools Officer headteachers will accept pupils who must be three years old up to the approved capacity in accordance with the following priorities: 1. Children living locally who will be four years of age during the school year. 2. Other children who will be four years of age during the school year. 3. Children with exceptional medical or social need. 4. Other three year old children in accordance with chronological age (oldest children admitted first).

It examines factors influencing the social composition of schools. A total of 23 LEAs completed interviews about their secondary school admissions arrangements The four case study LEAs have significantly different market scenarios. Results show that recent national education policy has not been evenly implemented across LEAs. A combination of organizational, structural, and demographic factors have muted much of the potential impact of school reforms on school admissions. Normative patterns of school use have not been substantially affected by the market reforms or the administrative actions of LEAs. LEAs remain important arenas within which school choice operates because they define kinds of choice available to parents in their administrative boundaries.

  • Appendix 2 Projected Availability of and Demand for Primary and Secondary School Places Projection and Forecasting Methodology C
    Appendix 2 Projected availability of and demand for primary and secondary school places Projection and forecasting methodology Cardiff employs a robust projection methodology for planning school places which takes account of NHS GP registration data and school census data submitted by and verified by all Cardiff schools. As projections can only take account of historic and current information the Council also identifies trends within projections, and analyses school preference data and other contextual information to produce forecasts on a city wide basis and in each locality. Data analysis allows projections to be prepared based on localised patterns at primary school catchment area level, by secondary school catchment and on a city-wide basis. Each of these provide differing contextual information to inform the forecasting on the number of places that may be needed to meet the requirements of each area and of Cardiff as a whole. The geographical units that are most suitable to analyse the recent and future demand for primary school places in each area are primary school catchment areas. A wider range of geographical information including aggregated primary school catchment areas, secondary school catchment areas, city-wide information and outflow to other admissions authorities informs planning for meeting the demand for secondary school places. School catchment areas in Cardiff are not coterminous with ward boundaries and often serve all or part of several ward areas. The geographical unit that is most suitable to analyse the demand for English-medium secondary school places serving Adamsdown and Splott is the Willows High School catchment area. Separate to forecasts for existing housing in Cardiff, projections are prepared for new housing planned on large scale housing developments, including the strategic Greenfield and Brownfield housing sites identified in the Local Development Plan.
