  4. Education Bill • The Education Bill seeks to implement proposals set out in the White Paper “The Importance of Teaching” • Currently in House of Lord Committee. Subject to Royal Assent the new Act will be in force January/February • Extensive changes across the law relating to education, all swept up into one Bill • Amendments to current legislation will re-define the relationship between central government, LAs and schools

  5. Education Bill • Ends the duty for schools to co-operate with LAs in making arrangements to improve children’s wellbeing: schools to decide for themselves • Enables the Secretary of State to issue directed revisions to LA schemes for financing schools • Introduces a presumption that when local authorities set up new schools they will be Academies • Increases the Secretary of State’s ability to make land available for free schools

  6. Education Bill • Gives the Secretary of State power to close schools which are eligible for intervention, rather than only those in special measures • Gives the Secretary of State power to direct an LA to issue a warning to a school on grounds of performance or safety concerns • Ends the requirement for LAs to appoint a SIP in each school

  7. Education Bill • Changes to the Ofsted Inspections Framework for schools so • that inspectors will report on: • The achievement of pupils at the school • The quality of teaching in the school • The quality of leadership in and management of the school • The behaviour and safety of pupils at the school

  8. Education Bill • Requires schools to secure independent and impartial careers guidance for pupils from the age of 14 • Repeals the duty on local authorities, schools and governing bodies to secure access to the diploma entitlement for 16 to 18 year olds and pupils in KS4. • Extends the power of staff to search pupils without their consent

  9. Education Bill • Allows nursery schools to charge for early years provision that is not funded by the LA • Stops parents complaining about schools to the local commissioner • Review panels can recommend that a school reconsiders an exclusion, but it does not have the power to reinstate a pupil

  10. Education Bill • Legislates for the abolition of: • General Teaching Council for England (GTCE) • Training and Development Agency (TDA) • Support Staff Negotiating Body (SSNB) • Qualifications Curriculum Development Agency (QCDA) • Young People’s Learning Agency for England (YPLA)

  13. School Funding Update 21 September 2011

  14. Where Are We? • Largest budget deficit in peacetime • Spend £44bn on interest on the national debt • Spend more on interest than on primary education • Eliminate deficit by 2014

  15. How? • Reduce expenditure/increase income • So: • Increase in VAT • Reduced spending on all Government departments except Education and Health • But: • Health efficiency savings required £20bn

  16. National Education • To rise by 0.1% a year but efficiency needed of £1bn • Redistribution HE and FE down • Schools have seen a flat year but DFC down by 77% and Pupil Premium introduced • Primary in Wythenshawe gains £110,000 • loses £35,000 • Primary in Chorlton gains £16,000 • loses £35,000 • Capital available

  17. Manchester Effect • GMP 20% cuts £134M = 3,000 posts • GM Fire 20% £23M = 340 posts • MCC this year £109M then £61M 25% = 2,000 posts • Effect is similar in ‘like’ authorities but not as bad elsewhere • Manchester is 5th most deprived LA with 3rd largest reduction

  18. Manchester School • National Funding Formula • Pupil Premium • Early Years funding change Sept 2012 • Average Primary School is a £1.5m turnover business with 75% spent on permanent staff

  19. Early Years • Manchester funded FT provision • Can only fund PT provision September 2012 • Charge if client group exists and can pay • Reduce costs by reduced staffing

  20. Pupil Premium • £625M in 2011/12 and will rise to £2.5bn by 2014 • Will double next year but who will pay? • The factor may change!!! • FSM entitlement to ‘ever’ entitlement • Don’t forget to TAG IT!! • Logic is same for Surrey as it is for Manchester

  21. Consultation • Closing date is 11 October • 2nd of 3 Consultations • Government says • ‘too complicated’ • ‘not transparent’ • ‘too many factors’ • ‘too many anomalies’ • ‘two similar schools massive £ differences’

  22. Principles • Funding away from area to the child (see PP) • A deprived child is the same in Leamington Spa as Newcastle, has the same needs and earns the same resource based on FSM • No factor is sacrosanct even infant class size • Easier for parents and Governors to understand • Logical, clear and uniform over boundaries

  23. Manchester • Area of deprivation • Well funded with MCC as an education priority gives us today’s relatively high DSG • Schools Forum works and is valued • Formula has responded to concerns of Manchester schools and stakeholders

  24. What could have been Consultation One National Formula National Formula Implement April 2012 Two Consultations Consultation Two Little Change 2012 Some local discretion Implement April 2013 or even later Three Consultations
