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.” |

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.

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.
