5. Strategic Review
of Funding Formula for Schools Cabinet Member: School Improvement Forward Plan Ref: 2009/022 Contact: Janet Tomlinson, Directoer for Children, Young people
& Families, (01865 815122)
This report seeks Cabinet agreement to a strategic review of the school’s funding formula. The report sets out: the reasons for the review, its intended outcomes; the principles which should underpin it; key questions to be asked; and the process to be followed.
The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to agree that a review should proceed on the basis outlined in the report
6. The Cooper School, Bicester – Sixth Form Proposals Cabinet Member: Schools Improvement Forward Plan Ref: 2009/008 Contact: Allyson Milward, Service Manager - School Organisation & Planning (01865 816447)
Report by Director for Children, Young People & Families (CA6).
At the meeting on 25 November 2008 Cabinet agreed to the publication of formal proposals to expand the age range from 11-16 years to 11-18 years and enlarge The Cooper School, Bicester. 2. The notice was published by the Authority on 26 March 2009 and expired following 4 weeks of formal consultation on 24 April 2009. The responses to the informal consultation process referred to in the proposal are available as background papers to this report.
Where no representations in relation to a proposal are received the decision is usually referred to the Cabinet Member for ‘Schools Improvement’ for a decision. However, as this proposal relates to the area represented by the current incumbent of that position it is to be put to Cabinet for decision. The proposed implementation date for the proposal is 1 September 2011.
The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to either:
(a) reject the proposals;
(b) approve the proposals;
(c) approve the proposals with a modification (e.g. the proposal implementation date); or
(d) approve the proposals subject to them meeting a specific condition.
Note: As set out under Rule 17(a) of the Scrutiny Procedure Rules, this decision is exempt from Call-In as it is deemed urgent and any delay would seriously prejudice the Council’s interests, in that the Cabinet’s role would be negated by referral to the Schools’ Adjudicator if the decision was not taken within two months of the publication of the Statutory Notice, in this case being 24 June 2009.
7. District
Sustainable Community Strategies Cabinet Member: Leader of the Council, Deputy Leader of the Council, Community Safety Forward Plan Ref: 2008/218 Contact: Paul James, Head of Partnership Working (01865 816031)
Report by Head of Partnership Working (CA7).
Each district in Oxfordshire has a local strategic partnership (LSP) and has a duty to produce a Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS).
The county council is a key partner in all five district LSPs with a Cabinet member representative from the council on each LSP.
District LSPs have been working to produce their Sustainable Community Strategy alongside the Oxfordshire Partnership's Oxfordshire 2030 strategy. Each strategy involved consultation with partners and the county council responded in detail to each consultation.
Four district LSPs have agreed their SCS and are seeking their approval from individual partner organisations; Oxford City, South Oxfordshire, Vale of White Horse, West Oxfordshire.
The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to endorse the district sustainable community strategies and commit its support to delivery of the priorities identified
