  1. Salford Building Schools for the Future Programme – Phase 2 proposals

  2. The BSF Vision • Transforming teaching, learning and the curriculum • Providing state of the art ICT in schools • Providing a broader curriculum for 14-19 year olds • Increasing Inclusion • Special Educational Needs (SEN) & Disabilities • Improving attendance and behaviour • Extended schools and community provision • Community use • A greater range of services to children e.g. health, counselling, advice etc

  3. Local Education Partnership Transformational Learning Partnership - Laing O’Rourke - RM (Education) - Hochtief Responsible for - • Construction of the new schools • 25 years of maintenance and facilities • ICT Managed Service across all high schools

  4. The decision of the Schools Adjudicator posed a number of major issues for the programme. • An additional school means that funding available to all other schools in the programme would be reduced • The ambition of providing a newly built high school for every young person in the city could not be achieved. • The loss of the anticipated capital receipt from the St George’s site and the loss of other capital receipts due to the need to refurbish some schools on their existing sites. • There would be 249 extra pupil places in the school estate then was anticipated. • Funding across the entire programme has been reduced by £10 to 12 million due to the fact that we now have to use new construction indices

  5. Principles of the Review • The review has focused on achieving the best possible value for money from the available funding • Ensuring that we have the right size schools in the right areas of the City. • Examined all possible options for a reduction in pupil places from other schools in the City. • Adopted a principle that no school would be rebuilt at less than 900 places (incorporating a mix of 3 to 16, 11 to 16, and 11 to 18 establishments, across both the Community and RC sectors). • to maximise value for money • to avoid placing pressure on the budgets of small schools in a PFI environment.

  6. Oasis Academy MediaCityUK Following discussion with DCSF, Oasis and PFS • Oasis Academy MediacityUK be rebuilt for 900 pupils (11 to 16) with a 250 place post-16 provision, on the Salford Quays site. • Given the likelihood of Oasis Academy drawing pupils from across the City-Region, we are working with Oasis Trust and PfS to reduce overall pupil numbers allocated to Salford.

  7. The  Swinton and Moorside High Schools

  8. The  Swinton and Moorside High Schools A count was made of the pupils within this Core Area, who attend the nearest 3 community high schools (The Swinton, Moorside and Wentworth). The total number of pupils living within this area (leaving aside pupils attending Roman Catholic schools) is 1350.

  9. The  Swinton and Moorside High Schools Proposal: • To recommence the competition process to close both schools and to create a 1350 place (11 to 16) new PFI school on the current Moorside playing fields to include a LRU. • To increase the site to include the current Moorside School site for sports facilities. • In addition, provision for a new 2FE 420 place primary school would be incorporated into the building.

  10. Wentworth High School

  11. Wentworth High School A count was made of all pupils within a one and two mile radius of the school • Whilst only 364 of Wentworth’s current 742 pupils live within one mile of the current school, 694 pupils live within 2 miles of the school. • Given that by 2014/15 Wentworth is projected to have 703 students, it would appear that 750 is the minimum size required for this school.

  12. Wentworth High School Proposal: To rebuild elements of Wentworth high school to complement the parts of the school which have already been rebuilt, for a minimum of 750 pupils to include a Learning Recovery Unit and provision for children on the autistic spectrum. Subject to a manageable funding arrangement

  13. St Patrick’s RC High School Proposal: That St Patrick’s RC High School be rebuilt for 900 pupils as an 11 to 16 PFI school. • Unproblematic site • High performing school • We need to proceed with at least 2 PFI schemes as soon as possible.

  14. Roman Catholic Schools The schools, in partnership with the Diocese and other schools, will be invited to submit alternative proposals, including the possibility of closures and amalgamation, which would make new buildings a viable possibility. If no agreement can be reached…….

  15. St Ambrose Barlow RC High School Option 1 - To rebuild St Ambrose Barlow Roman Catholic High School for 750 pupils (11 to 16) with a 250 place post 16 provision (dependent on the approval of funding). Option 2 – Failing agreement on the funding for the post 16 provision, the school, in partnership with the Diocese and other schools, will be invited to submit alternative proposals, including the possibility of closures and amalgamation, which would make a new building a viable possibility. Option 3 – Failing agreement on option 2, St Ambrose Barlow be refurbished on its current site for 750 pupils.

  16. All Hallows RC High School Option 1 - The school, in partnership with the Diocese and other schools, be invited to submit alternative proposals, including the possibility of closures and amalgamation, which would make a new building a viable possibility. Option 2 - Retain and refurbish/enhance All Hallows RC High School on its existing site for 600 pupils.

  17. St George’s RC High School Option 1 - The school, in partnership with the Diocese and other schools, be invited to submit alternative proposals, including the possibility of closures and amalgamation, which would make a new building a viable possibility. Option 2 - Retain, refurbish or enhance St George’s at is existing capacity of 549 places (11 to 16 provision) on its existing site.

  18. Non New-build Projects At this present time, it is not clear what work will be undertaken to the non new build projects. An appraisal process will be undertaken with the schools and other stakeholders to determine a robust approach. Using the existing framework of information including: • The Asset Management Plan • School Development Plan • School Strategy for Change • Educational Design Brief To identify the priorities and issues to develop investment opportunities.

  19. Non New-build Projects • Generally, enhancements are new build elements which offer genuine transformation. • Refurbishment implies a more general improvement or upgrading with little substantial change to the structure or organisation of the school.

  20. Non New-build Projects It is not the intention to invest significantly in facilities which do not have a long term future or add significantly to transformation in educational delivery. However, the aim of the investment in the refurbishment / enhancement schemes will be to: • Maximise long term benefit to Students • Underpin curriculum needs • Support transformation

  21. Pupil Numbers Partnership for Schools have considered these plans and indicated their approval to the following: a. That, in view of the above circumstances, having explored a wide range of options, PfS is agreeable to the proposed level of surplus places.  b. That, given the likelihood of Oasis Academy drawing pupils from across the City-Region, approximately 300 of these places will be taken up by other authorities within the Greater Manchester area.  DCSF and PfS are working with the Council and Oasis Community Learning to take this forward.

  22. Pupil Numbers • Projections for 2016/17 show surplus capacity projected to fall to 7.9% (with clawback). • In time, Salford will seek to resolve any capacity issues in the Little Hulton/Walkden area by brokering further joint working between the three schools in that area to maximise efficiencies in operations.
