25. Planning for Primary School Place Provision

26. Primary Pupil Growth ONS population data prediction now correlates with primary school roll numbers and trends ONS - 97% of the growth 2010-30 of 6200 will occur by 2020 after which it is predicted it will level off at this higher level Salford LA – We currently predict the need to form 6700 places in 32 forms of entry by 2020There is good confirmation of our predictions from the ONS trends Need to provide surplus of 5% minimum for movement of children Need to recognise that 20% of the 6200 additional children will have additional needs = 1240 pupils Around 200 of the 1240 will merit formal assessment and from this approximately 100 could need special school provision.

28. All areas of Salford are affected 32 forms of entry extra needed in the next 8 years – currently 89 in total. This equates to 16 x 2 form entry schools but many possible solutions are available Based on recent Salford expenditure the cost of 16 new build 2FE schools would be approximately £128m however Government is seeking cheaper standardised design solutions and use of alternative buildings. 12 new planning areas have been developed correlating with ‘travel to learn’ patterns, community areas and natural and man-made barriers. An option appraisal for each will be developed with UV by September That Free Schools will influence our plans as decisions are likely to be made without reference to LA and need to work with DfE to link these into our plans to maximise use What we have learnt

29. 500 additional places were created for September 2011, 700 additional places have been created for September 2012 in 24 schools In both years this has been achieved in the majority of cases through the utilisation of existing school spaces i.e. converting non classroom space into classrooms We installed temporary classrooms on 5 schools for September 2012 and needed 1 temporary classroom in 2011 We have identified the options for the expansion of schools for September 2013 and held seminars for elected members, head teachers and chairs of governors to put forward their proposals. Working closely with neighbouring LAs is maintained to ensure cross boundary pressures are acknowledged Continuing to work closely with the dioceses and schools through the Stakeholder Steering Group to ensure good communication and wider ownership of the challenge. What have we been doing?

30. Key Challenges • w.e.f. 1st February 2012 Education Legislation affects ability to dispose of school sites and gain capital receipts • Presumption that any newly established schools will be either Academies or Free Schools • Possible late notification of a Free school application being submitted after expansion work has commenced on school sites within the same area • Independence of VA schools – Governing Bodies of each separate school need to agree to any plans and may have conditions to agreements • Identifying viable alternatives buildings and establishing new schools in addition to extending existing schools • Balancing the needs of nursery and children’s centre provision on school sites • Potential Demographic changes during the programme

31. Options for Expansion • Bring back all available classroom space in schools for school use • Extend existing schools with extensions • Re-commission disused schools including those vacated through BSF programme • Thru-schools in Secondary Buildings – until we need secondary places • Acquire adjacent buildings to schools and create Key Stage on adjoining site • Acquire other existing LA buildings for School use • Use all LA owned brownfield sites to build new schools
