They are established by sponsors from business, faith or voluntary groups. They receive funding directly from the Department for Education. Each academy has its own admissions policy. Community schools are run by the local council. It employs the school’s staff, and runs the admission procedure. Their running costs are met from public funds which come through the local council (mainly council tax and grants from central government). They provide free education. Community schools in the same borough share an admissions policy. Department for Education (DfE) is responsible for education and children’s services. Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) An Education, Health and Care Plan (often referred to as an EHCP) is for children and young people aged up to 25 who need more support than is available through normal school based special educational needs support. EHC Plans identify education, health and social needs a child or young person has and sets out the additional support required to meet these needs. Education, Learning and Skills a group of services in Lambeth Council that brings together all services for education under one banner. Foundation schools have their running costs met from public funds which come through the local council. They provide free education. Each foundation school has it’s own admissions policy. Free Schools are all-ability state-funded schools. They are non-selective and free to attend, and not controlled by a local authority. Each free school has its own admissions policy. Local Authority (LA) The borough/ local council. Ofsted The national Offce for Standards in Education (Ofsted), is the government department responsible for inspecting schools and reporting on standards of achievement and the quality of education provided. Parents/carers refers to all carers and legal guardians. Special schools cater for children who have an Education, Health and Care Plan and whose special needs are such that they cannot be met in a mainstream school. All children attending a special school must have an Education, Health and Care Plan. Voluntary-aided schools are set up by voluntary bodies, usually churches, but have their running costs met from public funds which come through the local council. They provide free education. The voluntary-aided schools in Lambeth have very close links to their church, and are often referred to as church schools. Each voluntary-aided school has its own admissions policy. 2 SECTION 1 / PROCESS AND PROCEDURE Introduction Starting secondary school is an exciting time for your child and we know how scary and important it is for parents/ carers to make the right choice.

  • Education and Learning Strategy 2018/22
    Education and Learning Strategy 2018/22 101240 (10.18) Welcome Welcome to Lambeth’s Education and Learning Strategy 2018–22 which looks ahead to the next few years and outlines our shared ambition for our learners of all ages. It has been developed in partnership between schools, other educational establishments and the Council. We want Lambeth to continue to be at the forefront of change and improvement in education, retaining good relationships between education providers and the Council and building on our collective strengths and achievements. We have strong partnerships between schools, colleges, neighbouring authorities, families, local communities and the Council that enable us to work towards securing an autonomous and self- improving education system. This commitment to raising standards is supported by a sound infrastructure of early years provision in our childcare, nursery school and children centre provision. Our charter for education and learning encapsulates our aspirations and ways of working together (see appendix 1, page 8). The overwhelming majority of Lambeth schools have chosen to retain their close working relationship with the Council. In 2017 the Lambeth Schools Partnership was launched to sustain high quality outcomes and excellent teaching and learning across the borough. The partnership is united in its vision that schools and other education settings should build on an existing culture of collaborative working to enable all the borough’s children and young people to experience the best possible education opportunities, outcomes and life chances. This Strategy is aligned to the overall role of the Council in supporting growth, improving community resilience, enhancing place and providing support to the vulnerable.

  • Southwark Pupil Place Planning
    Item No. Classification: Date: Meeting Name: 15. Open 29 October 2019 Cabinet Report title: Pupil Place Planning Ward(s) or groups affected: All Cabinet Member: Councillor Jasmine Ali, Children, Schools and Adult Care FOREWORD - COUNCILLOR JASMINE ALI, CABINET MEMBER FOR CHILDREN, SCHOOLS AND ADULT CARE Southwark is widely seen as a great place to bring up children, with lovely schools where children attain good educational outcomes. Our recent £200m investment programme of school building and refurbishment has transformed many of our schools into educational landmarks. Each year our education team help our schools get closer and closer to our target of 100 per cent good or outstanding schools. At the time of writing we are at 93% good or outstanding; with Ofsted currently in the borough, we have high hopes for the remaining 7 per cent. Southwark Council is successfully meeting demand for primary school places, and is making excellent progress meeting demand for secondary places. We can offer a primary or secondary place to all Southwark applicants and are covered for any late applicants, who we will be able to accommodate. Up until recently, Southwark was experiencing a gradual, long-term rise in demand for primary places. Then last year we saw an overall drop in primary applications. Like many other London boroughs, we were obliged to go to the schools adjudicator to bring down pupil admission numbers. In Southwark we successfully reduced these for 12 primary schools. This means Southwark is more likely to match demand for primary places with supply correctly adjusted for this year. At the same time we are working with schools to repurpose any spare space they have as a result in their drop in pupil admissions.

Background to Item 1.1 The DfE published its Early Years National Funding Formula Guidance (EYNFF) in December 2016. The EYNFF determined the hourly rate to be paid to each setting for providing early years education. 1.2 The Lambeth Early Years Funding Formula (EYFF) has an hourly rate and two supplements: quality and deprivation. In the existing formula each child receives funding based on the Income Deprivation Affecting Child Index (IDACI) rating of the child’s home address (deprivation). 1.3 Meeting the needs of deprived children is a key part of the Government’s priority of narrowing the attainment gap between children from different socio-economic backgrounds and thus it is a mandatory requirement that there be a deprivation supplement included in the Early Years Funding Formula.
