Regional Challenge - Do the Maths!

• In 2011/12, London had just under 1.1 million children in its education system. This figure is set to grow year on year to approximately 1.25 million by 2016/17. Pupil numbers are grower at a faster rate in London than anywhere else in the country.

• Schools need to be expanded and new schools need to be built to respond to this ever increasing demand for a school place. Although the pressure is currently at its strongest within primary schools, this pressure will, undoubtedly, feed through into secondary school provision over time.

• Based upon current projections, London boroughs are facing a shortage of 118,000 primary and secondary school places up until 2016/17.

Mapping your service against Ofsted Criteria

The 2012 Ofsted Inspection Framework states “Inspectors are required to report on the quality of education provided in the school and must, in particular, cover the following four areas:

1. the achievement of pupils at the school2. the quality of teaching in the school 3. the quality of leadership in and management of the school4. the behaviour and safety of pupils at the school.

In reporting, inspectors must also consider:the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils at the school the extent to which the education provided by the school meets the needs of the range of pupils at the school, and in particular the needs of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs.”

The Pupil Premium will be worth £2.5bn by 2014-15, it was £600 per pupil and will go up to £900 from 2013/2014. Pupil Premium is

attached to all pupils that are currently eligible for free school meals (FSM) or have been in the last six years. The pupil premium is given directly to schools without any ring fencing. Schools are required to

evidence how pupil premium has been allocated to support the attainment of disadvantaged pupils, and this will form part of the

Ofsted Inspection for a school.

‘We will also require schools to publish online how they have used the premium. This will ensure that parents and others are made fully aware of the progress and attainment of

pupils covered by the premium and concentrate schools’ minds on using it appropriately’DfE Schools Funding Settlement 2011
