Questions from County Councillors Any county
councillor may, by giving notice to the Proper Officer by 9 am two working days
before the meeting, ask a question on any matter in respect of the Cabinet
Member’s delegated powers. The number
of questions which may be asked by any councillor at any one meeting is limited
to two (or one question with notice and a supplementary question at the
meeting) and the time for questions will be limited to 30 minutes in total. As
with questions at Council, any questions which remain unanswered at the end of
this item will receive a written response. Questions
submitted prior to the agenda being despatched are shown below and will be the
subject of a response from the appropriate Cabinet Member or such other
councillor or officer as is determined by the Cabinet Member, and shall not be
the subject of further debate at this meeting. Questions received after the
despatch of the agenda, but before the deadline, will be shown on the Schedule
of Addenda circulated at the meeting, together with any written response which
is available at that time. Minutes: Councillor Mark Cherry asked the following question: “I know that Oxfordshire County Council won't run the school as it will
be an academy, but can Cabinet Member for Children, Education & Families
assure me that when it comes to recruiting staff for the school that were
possible equality and diversity is used in employing staff?” Councillor Melinda Tilley replied: “I have no control over how academies employ staff and it is not my job to tell them what to do. However, academies do have to comply with Government Legislation in relation to equality and Diversity.” |

Alteration of Age Range at Carterton Community College, to Establish Post-16 Education Forward Plan Ref: 2014/042 Contact: Diane Cameron, School Organisation Officer Tel: (01865) 816445 Report by Director for Children’s Services (CMDCEF4). This proposal is
led by the Governing Body of Carterton Community College. The proposal is to
offer Post-16 education at the College from September 2014. In order to do so,
the College's upper age limit must be altered from 16 to 19. The full Cabinet
gave its support for this proposal when approving a report following the
College's initial public consultation in March 2014. For this reason, the
report following the statutory notice period is now going to the delegated
decisions meeting for Cabinet Member for Children, Education & Families. The Cabinet Member is
RECOMMENDED to approve the extension of the age range at Carterton Community
College to include post-16 provision. Additional documents: |

Pupil Place Plan 2014/15 - 2017/18 Forward Plan Ref: 2014/006 Contact: Diane Cameron, School Organisation Officer Tel: (01865) 816445 Report by Director for Children’s Services (CMDCEF5). Although there
has been no statutory requirement to publish a School Organisation Plan since 2004,
it is considered good practice to produce a plan related to pupil place
planning to clearly set out the framework for, and approach towards, the
provision of places. The Pupil Place
Plan shows local communities, and those interested in their development, how we
expect school provision to change over the next few years. It brings together
information from a range of sources and sets out the issues the county council
will face in meeting its statutory duties for providing school places up to
2018 and beyond. The plan includes
present and predicted future pupil numbers on roll, together with information
about birth rates, school capacity, and new housing. The plan sets out proposed
changes in the number of school places available over the next year and it
suggests where other changes may be necessary in the future. The plan also sets
out our policies on school organisation and the statutory framework for making
changes such as opening, closing or enlarging schools. It is our
intention to update this plan each year to take into account data on housing,
population and school capacity. The plan is then published on the county
council's website. The Cabinet Member is asked to approve the 2014 revision of Oxfordshire's Pupil Place Plan. The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to approve the publication of the
2014 Oxfordshire Pupil Place Plan. Additional documents: |

School Specification for New Primary School for Banbury at Longford Park (Bankside) Forward Plan Ref: 2014/043 Contact: Diane Cameron, School Organisation Officer Tel: (01865) 816445 Report by Director for Children’s Services (CMDCEF6). This report
follows a public consultation run from 23 April 2014 - 15 June 2014, setting out
the proposal for a new school at Longford Park development in Banbury. The
consultation was to draw out any strong views from the local community on what
should go in to the specification for the school. The specification
will be used as a template for potential sponsors for the new school to submit
Expressions of Interest against, when this stage in the process is reached in
the autumn. The proposed new school specification has now been written and is being submitted for approval to the Cabinet Member for Children, Education & Families. The Cabinet Member is asked to note the outcomes of
the consultation on a new school for Banbury and RECOMMENDED to approve the
specification as the basis for seeking academy providers for the school. Additional documents: |
