To discontinue Alderman Blaxill School with effect from 31 August 2014 and to cease admissions to Year 7 from September 2012 with the school‟s current priority admission area being re-designated largely to Thomas, Lord Audley School. On a related matter, to confirm that the Published Admission Number (PAN) for Year 7 at Thomas, Lord Audley School will be 168 (six forms of entry of 28) from September 2012. This is a final decision for the governing body. Decision Areas In considering proposals for a school closure, the Decision Maker can decide to: reject the proposals; approve the proposals; approve the proposals with a modification (e.g. the school closure date); or approve the proposals subject to them meeting a specific condition The proposals are „related‟ and the decisions are compatible so both should be approved or rejected. It is recommended that the above proposals should be approved and determined. 2 Background, context, The background to the development of these proposals and and area of the the case for change are set out in the Consultation County affected. Document „Colchester Secondary Education Provision – The Colchester Secondary Education Transformation Programme – a locally developed proposal for secondary education provision in Colchester District from September 2012 until 2017‟ available as a background paper to this report. Arising from the need to address persistent and ongoing concerns about standards in some schools, the level of surplus capacity over the next few years and the implications for the viability of some of the schools, the County Council took the decision in August 2009 to discontinue three secondary schools (replacing one with an Academy) and to expand four others. This plan was supported by some £130M of expected capital investment from the Government under the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) Programme. However, the money to undertake this huge investment in the Colchester secondary schools will no longer be available through the BSF Programme and the County Council therefore had to rethink the plans to support the schools. In light of the announcement that the BSF funding would not be available to rebuild and remodel the schools that were to be expanded as had been anticipated, the decision was taken in July 2010 to defer the implementation of these plans for Colchester secondary education for one year. An exception was made in the case of the closure of Sir Charles Lucas Arts College on 31 August 2010, which went ahead, and was replaced by Colchester Academy on 1 September 2010. Given this decision to defer implementation the County Council, on behalf of the schools concerned, made an application to the Office of the Schools Adjudicator for an in- year variation to the admissions arrangements for September 2011, effectively re-introducing the arrangements that were in place for September 2010. This application was approved. An outcome of this is that Alderman Blaxill and Thomas, Lord Audley schools will admit children to Year 7 in September 2011. As the deferred plans cannot now be afforded in the current financial climate the County Council proposed that they be revoked and a new plan for secondary provision in Colchester be developed and consulted upon. The County Council agreed to work in partnership with the 3 schools to tackle the challenges that still remain through the next five to seven years when there are far too many places in the town and to plan for the longer term when more places will be needed. A new proposal for consultation was developed as a solution to the immediate short to medium term problem for secondary education in Colchester. All County Divisions in Colchester and the surrounding area are affected by the decision. Options/Proposals The case for change is based on current pupil numbers, the number of places in schools and pupil number forecasts to 2017/18. Taken together these are a cause of concern to the County Council and the secondary schools in Colchester and require a solution for the short to medium term. The solution proposed upon which the consultation was based is to discontinue Alderman Blaxill School with effect from 31 August 2014 and to cease admissions to Year 7 from September 2012 and to reduce the PAN in Year 7 at Thomas, Lord Audley School to 168 from September 2012. Pupil Numbers Table 1 below, taken from the consultation document, shows the number on roll in the Autumn Term 2010 at each school compared to its net capacity. This shows 1311 surplus places across the schools listed in the table and that the majority of these are concentrated in Alderman Blaxill School, Thomas, Lord Audley School and Colchester Academy. Across all the schools shown there over 200 spare places in each of Years 8 – 11 and over 300 spare places in Year 7. Table 4 below, again taken from the consultation document, shows the anticipated intake to Year 7 across the schools until 2017/18 as a proportion of the number of children in each age cohort living in the Colchester area registered with a GP. This proportion is factored in at 94% but has only been achieved once in the last four years with the factor being less in the other years. It shows the surplus Year 7 capacity in each year and the mitigating effects of the forecast pupil product from new housing on this. The proposal to close Alderman Blaxill School and reduce the PAN at Thomas, Lord Audley School will remove 172 Year 7 places each year and the table shows that in 2015/16 there could be a shortage of 38 Year 7 places rising to 42 Year 7 places in 2016/17. The Colchester secondary head teachers are confident that this could be managed between 4 them should the situation arise. If the conversion factor of GP registrations is less than 94% as it was in September 2010 (91%) and the pupil product from housing is less than forecast there will be sufficient Year 7 capacity each year until at least 2017. In developing the proposals for consultation there was recognition by the secondary schools and the County Council that capacity needs to be removed from the system in the short to medium term to ensure that all remaining schools continue to be financially viable and are able to maintain and improve upon their performance. The decision to determine the proposals would see Alderman Blaxill School close on 31 August 2014 and there would be no Year 7 admissions from September 2012. This will require some adjustments to the admission arrangements at the other schools for September 2012 and the need to make arrangements for pupils attending Alderman Blaxill School at the date of its proposed closure (see following sections). Admission arrangements 5 The governing bodies of the schools are responsible for determining their admission arrangements, including the priority admission areas (PAA) and PANs. In support of this proposal Thomas, Lord Audley (TLA), Philip Morant, St Helena and Thurstable Schools are consulting on the following modifications to their admission arrangements from September 2012. The PAN at TLA School will be reduced to 168 (6 forms of entry) for Year 7 from September 2012. The PAA for TLA will be expanded to include Kings Ford Junior PAA and those parts of the Montgomery Junior/St Michael‟s Primary joint PAA which are currently in the Alderman Blaxill PAA.

  • ECC Report March 2019
    ECC Report March 2019 Apprenticeships available with ACL (adult community learning) In the National Apprenticeship Week 2019, (4 to 10 March), ACL Essex urged individuals and employers to find out more about apprenticeships – the prospects they can bring individuals and the benefits to employees. An apprenticeship enables individuals to develop new skills directly aligned to their job role. They undertake training that supports their career progression. Apprenticeships are made up of ‘off-job’ learning e.g. taught sessions in a classroom, ‘on-job’ learning, in some cases a qualification e.g. Diploma in Management and if required maths and English, and they are driven by the employer. It’s not just school and college leavers that can take advantage of the hundreds of apprenticeships that are available; there is no age limit on apprenticeships. Anyone starting a new job role with their existing employer or entering a new profession can undertake an apprenticeship as part of their training and development. An apprenticeship supports individuals to gain the right skills for the job and gain certification that demonstrates they have met industry standard. Recognising the potential benefit to individuals, businesses and the economy in general, the government has invested in a nationwide advertising campaign to increase awareness of apprenticeships. And apprenticeships are being developed specifically to meet the current and future needs of business and include innovative and growing sectors such as media, digital, health and construction. For those looking to further their study there are also an increasing number of degree level apprenticeships now available, allowing individuals to undertake apprenticeships that will qualify them as teachers, solicitors, accountants and nurses – to name but a few.
