Children’s Services Committee Item No……

Report title: Developing ’s self-improving school system in the light of the White Paper ‘Educational Excellence Everywhere’

Date of meeting: 10 May 2016

Responsible Chief Michael Rosen Officer: Executive Director of Children’s Services Strategic impact

The Education and Adoption Act 2016 specifies the consequences for maintained schools1 that are judged by Ofsted to be ‘inadequate’ or designated by the Secretary of State to be ‘coasting’. It confirms the formal collaboration that will be required for such schools from the Council and from Governing Bodies.

Committee received a paper in July 2015 that identified the implications of the Act for Norfolk’s school system and the responses already being considered by the County Council’s partners, particularly Governors and Headteachers. The paper established the context within which the shared ambition for there to be ‘A Good Education for Every Norfolk Learner’ would be realised including through harnessing new developments.

Published on 17 March 2016, the White Paper ‘Educational Excellence Everywhere’ sets out the Government’s prospectus on further potential developments in the national education landscape over the course of the next six years.

Norfolk County Council’s refreshed strategy for supporting education improvement ‘A Good Education for Every Norfolk Learner’ – which should form the basis for any further development - was approved by Committee on 10 March 2015. It has been further developed in Committee Papers on 7 July 2015 and 17 November 2015. The refreshed strategy confirmed the County Council’s three areas of responsibility in relation to education namely: as champion of children and young people in promotion of high standards, provision of good learning places and ensuring a good deal for vulnerable children and young people. These three core purposes for Local Authorities are reiterated in general terms in the new White Paper. (See 2.2.4 below)

‘A Good Education for Every Norfolk Learner’ emphasises the need to ensure that all Norfolk children and young people benefit from excellent education whether in a school2 of whatever kind, a college, a training provider, alternative education, an early years setting or at home. The strategy contributes to the Council’s ambition to have ‘Excellence in Education’ and emphasises the need for all schools and education providers to have strong and sustainable leadership. The strategy recognises the need for all Governing Bodies to forge strong and enduring links across multiple institutions whether through multi academy trusts (MATs) or through federations.

1 The term ‘maintained schools’ is usually used to refer to those schools maintained by the Local Authority rather than being maintained by central government’s Education Funding Agency. ‘Maintained schools’ include voluntary controlled, voluntary aided, foundation and community schools. 2 In this paper, unless specifically stated, the term ‘school’ refers to all kinds of school whether voluntary controlled, voluntary aided, foundation, community, academy or free school.

Executive summary

This paper summarises the new White Paper alongside other recent changes in the education landscape. It highlights issues that will be relevant to ongoing efforts to provide ‘A Good Education for Every Norfolk Learner’. This includes consideration of how the approach to self-improvement ‘Norfolk Better to Best’ might enable the development of an associated multi-academy trust.

Following discussion at the Norfolk Education Challenge Board in May, further recommendations will be brought to Committee on 28 June 2016 regarding future developments of ‘A Good Education for Every Norfolk Learner’ in the context of the White Paper.

Recommendations: Members are asked to note the implications of the White Paper, to comment on these and on developments described in this paper.

1. Proposal

1.1 It is proposed that issues arising from the recent education White Paper as well as from the Education and Adoption Act are considered so that appropriate development takes place of Norfolk’s strategy to support school improvement ‘A Good Education for Every Norfolk Learner’.

1.2 Discussions take place about Norfolk’s educational landscape with Members of Norfolk Primary Headteachers’ Association, Norfolk Secondary Education Leaders, Norfolk Governors’ Network and with the Department for Education’s Regional Schools’ Commissioner. Such discussions continue routinely.

2. Evidence

2.1 The Education and Adoption Act 2016

2.1.1 The Education and Adoption Act fulfils various pledges made in the Conservative Party Manifesto. Royal Assent was granted on 16 March 2016 and many of the provisions came into force on 18 April 2016. In relation to schools, the Act introduces various measures, including provision about schools in that are causing concern, about their conversion into Academies and about intervention powers.

2.1.2 Maintained schools judged to be inadequate by Ofsted will become sponsored Academies. The Secretary of State makes an Academy order for such schools without the need for consultation and it is incumbent upon the Governing Body and Local Authority to facilitate the conversion.

2.1.3 Schools deemed to be ‘coasting’ by the Secretary of State become ‘eligible for intervention’ giving the Secretary of State discretion on whether to insist that the school accepts support from successful leaders of other schools or to issue an Academy order. Consultation would not be needed in such cases. The definition of ‘coasting’ remains to be clarified but is likely to be about schools that have not ensured sufficient progress for their pupils over three years rather than the school’s Ofsted judgement.

2.1.4 Schools that are ‘good’ and ‘outstanding’ that seek to become Academies would need to consult on such a proposal. Such schools are likely to seek the ability to sponsor other schools and so create Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs).

2.1.5 The Secretary of State as well as the Local Authority is now empowered to issue Warning Notices in certain circumstances to maintained schools. Provision is made for how the Local Authority and the Secretary of State should interact in such cases.

2.1.6 The Department of Education’s Regional Schools Commissioners acts on behalf of the Secretary of State in many of the matters identified in the Act.

2.2 The White Paper ‘Educational Excellence Everywhere’, March 2016

2.2.1 There are seven key areas of policy proposals. In summary these are:

2.2.2 ‘Great Teachers’: reform of the National College for Teaching and Leadership to improve recruitment incentives and attract new teachers; reduce recruitment costs through a teacher vacancy website; increase rigour of initial teacher training and replace ‘Qualified Teacher Status’ with accreditation based on classroom effectiveness; establish an independent College of Teaching to promote research and improved practice.

2.2.3 ‘Great leaders’: new National Professional Qualifications for each level of school leadership; ‘improvement period’ during which schools will not be inspected to allow new leaders to embed improvements; database of those involved in governance and a move to fully skills-based governance.

2.2.4 ‘A school led system with every school an academy’: schools to start the process of becoming an academy – mostly within a multi academy trust – so that by 2022 all schools are maintained directly by the Government and not by the Local Authority; local authorities will be responsible for place planning, supporting vulnerable learners and acting as champion for children and families; 500 new free schools nationally alongside LAs' own new school commissioning responsibilities; LAs will ‘take a lead in crisis management and emergency planning'; a new online Parent Portal will provide parents with information about the school system; a more co-ordinated school admissions system will be developed for local authorities to implement.

2.2.5 ‘Helping schools go from good to great’: Supporting school improvement to be undertaken by strong schools and system leaders as part of an approach to ‘supported autonomy’; 300 more teaching schools and 800 more National Leaders of Education designated where they are most needed; new intensive focus on the most challenging areas through ‘Achieving Excellence Areas’.

2.2.6 ‘World leading curriculum’: No new curriculum or assessment proposal to enable consolidation and stability; funding for 25% of secondary schools to extend their school day; reform of alternative provision (AP) so that mainstream schools are accountable for pupils in AP and for commissioning high quality provision; strategy for improved careers provision for young people; continued Local Authority duty to promote educational outcomes for Looked After Children.

2.2.7 ‘Accountability’: Embed existing reforms to primary, secondary and 16-19 accountability and new accountability for MATs; Ofsted inspection to focus on under-performance.

2.2.8 ‘Right resources in the right hands’: National Funding Formula will pass funding directly to schools by 2017 and high needs funding to local authorities; pupil premium will continue.

2.2.9 There has been extensive public discussion about some aspects of the White Paper, particularly concerning future governance arrangements for schools. The link to a House of Commons Briefing Paper which contains a range of comments appears in the Section 5 of this paper.

2.3 Devolution Deal

2.3.1 The proposed Devolution Deal for East Anglia outlines a number of proposed education and training developments, which would be led by the Combined Authority. Some of these build on existing collaboration with the Regional Schools Commissioner as outlined in previous Committee Reports in July and November 2015. Subject to political agreement, a more detailed proposal on the implications of these developments will be outlined in a future committee report

2.4 The Norfolk school system, Summer 2016

2.4.1 Whilst leadership, management and improvement of schools are the responsibility of governors and their Headteacher, the Local Authority maintains an oversight of Norfolk schools of all types and provides the appropriate support and challenge to ensure that our children and young people receive the ‘good’ education to which they are entitled. Working together, there have been notable improvements in the Norfolk ‘system’ with over 85% of schools now deemed by Ofsted to be at least ‘good’ compared to 59% in 2012. And more than 26,000 children are educated in schools that are at least ‘good’ compared to 2012. Indeed, Norfolk’s progress has been positively commented upon including by Sir Michael Wilshaw, Ofsted’s Chief Inspector, in his speech on 15 June 2015, and by Andrew Cook, Regional Director of Ofsted, in an article published on 2 December 2015.

2.4.2 The White Paper proposes that the Local Authority’s role in intervening in schools will cease as schools become academies. As champion of children and families, however, it will be necessary for the Local Authority to maintain its view of and relationship with each education provider and to call for improvement and intervention, as appropriate.

2.4.3 For Members’ reference, appendices to this report give a snapshot of current numbers and types of state funded schools in Norfolk, the range of collaborative arrangements currently in place, the groups currently sponsoring academies and the relative performance of different types of school in Norfolk. These appendices are updated from previous Committee Reports.

2.5 Respective responsibilities in relation to schools of different types

2.5.1 It may also be helpful to note current responsibilities in relation to schools of different types. This appears as Appendix Four to this report. As and when elements in the White Paper are enacted, with proposed changes to governance, some aspects of this table will change.

2.5.2 The table demonstrates the complexity of the pattern of state funded schooling, but each type of school provides a different balance of how local autonomy is able to be exercised in the best interests of educational excellence. For example, schools of all kinds must make best use of available land for educational purposes. Voluntary schools are required to exercise their trustee duties in respect of all land held by them. The Local Authority will always be prepared to challenge the stewardship of premises by community schools and by Academy trusts who exercise leasehold control of NCC land and premises.

2.6 Strong local leadership and services for schools

2.6.1 Much has been learnt across Norfolk schools about self-evaluation and self- improvement in the last two years. This is driving better standards for learners and renewed confidence for education leaders. Much external stimulus has been brought to Norfolk and yet there is wide-spread talent locally.

2.6.2 Headteacher and Governor associations seek to ensure that all schools can be part of strong and collaborative leadership arrangements. The task is for sufficient numbers of Norfolk’s strong schools to provide the necessary local support for weaker schools, increasingly as part of multi-academy trusts. The Local Authority will find ways to support the formation and test the efficacy of all such collaborative arrangements.

2.6.3 A successful approach to self-improvement is the approach known as ‘Norfolk Better to Best’. The scheme is largely funded by Norfolk schools and coordinated by the Local Authority. 230 Norfolk schools are participants in the scheme, including maintained schools and academies alike. As a result of the scheme and its predecessor ‘Norfolk to Good and Great’, 88% of participating schools have secured a ‘good’ inspection judgement. Early discussions are underway to consider how the approach to self-improvement embodied in ‘Norfolk Better to Best’ might enable the creation of an associated multi academy trust.

2.6.4 Educator Solutions is a trading enterprise wholly owned by Norfolk County Council. It incorporates most of the essential services traded with schools and other education providers. In addition to business functions such as support for HR and finance, it also incorporates the advice and support for teaching, learning, leadership and governance that schools purchase from Norfolk County Council. Given that Educator Solutions is one of a range of providers in an increasingly vibrant market place, at the appropriate time Norfolk County Council may wish to consider the best future operating model for this service provider.

2.7 Recommendations

2.7.1 Members are asked to note the implications of the White Paper, to comment on these and on developments described in this paper.

3. Financial Implications

3.1 Existing Norfolk County Council budgets including through the Children’s Services re-structure will enable the ongoing development of the education services that underpin the support and challenge implicit in ‘A Good Education for Every Norfolk Learner’. Much of the activity that was pump-primed through the investment of £1.5M is now sustained through funding by schools and other trading. Funding for intervention and challenge work that cannot be funded by schools will continue to be available - albeit on a modest basis - using existing budgets.

3.2 The Education Support Grant that makes up part of the Council’s income from the Government will cease as part of proposed changes to national funding arrangements. The amount of funding received currently also reduces as schools convert to academy status.

3.3 Some of this reduction in funding will be offset by income generation from schools, MATs, federations and government agencies for services provided. This will need to continue in order that core education services to benefit all Norfolk learners are sustained.

3.4 As the changes proposed in the White Paper crystallise through future legislation and national policy, a further analysis will be required. The LA will need to keep under review (a) the services it provides as part of a market place alongside (b) the core services it must afford in order to fulfil statutory and related functions.

3.5 The Government wishes to ensure that land transfers to academy trusts do not hold up conversion. It envisages education land being transferred automatically to the Secretary of State, who will then be in a position to lease land to sponsors.

3.6 Fees for non-statutory responsibilities such as the legal and property costs of conversion are currently passed on to the converting school and can be set against the Government grant provided for such purposes. With greater definition of change to the LA’s statutory duties, it will be important to ensure that any new costs that fall to the LA are fully funded.

4. Issues, risks and innovation

4.1 Ongoing evaluation of our approach to supporting and challenging school improvement is vital given the continuing need for rapid improvement of educational standards in Norfolk. Improved attainment and Ofsted outcomes together with the judgement that the LA’s own arrangements are ‘effective’ must be built upon. Continuity, consolidation and thorough evaluation mitigate against any potential lack of pace and rigour.

4.2 Young people have been involved in considering the best ways for the LA to support and challenge schools, colleges and other providers though the work of the 11-19 Education and Training Strategy Group as well as through the Youth Parliament.
