NEED FOR PLACESCreating Additional PlacesCabinet should consider whether there is a need for expansion and take intoaccount not only the existence of spare capacity in neighbouring schools butalso the quality and popularity with parents of the schools in which sparecapacity exists. Where the school has a religious character of follows aparticular philosophy should be satisfied that there is satisfactory evidence ofsufficient demand for places at the expanded school to be sustainable.Births data from the ONS show that there were 5,548 births in Ealing in theschool year 2008/9. As this figure was similar to the 2007/8 school year(5,578) there was some indication that births increases might have begun tolevel off.This does not however now seem to be the case, as early indications fromONS are that for the school year 2009/10 there were at least 5,741 births inthe borough, a further significant increase. Births in the borough are now1,350 higher than they were at the start of the decade (4,391 in 2001/02).The need for additional school places has been frequently documented inreports to both Cabinet and the Education and Childen's Services StandingScrutiny Panel in the last couple of years, the most recent report to Cabinetwas on 21 December 2010 and it details the need for additional primaryschool, high school, 6 th form and SEN places in the borough.St Gregory’s falls within the Ealing quadrant, where births rose 24.1% from1350 in 2003/04 to 1,675 in 2009/10. For the North and South Ealing areascombined the projected increase in reception classes required is in a rangebetween 12FE and 14FE by 2014.In terms of demand for Catholic places, there has been a 35% increase inbaptisms in Ealing between 2004 and 2009 (from 585 in 2004 to 790 in 2009).This supports the expansion of St Gregory’s Catholic Primary and also theplans that the Diocese of Westminster are developing for a new 2FE CatholicPrimary School in West Acton.The proposal to expand St Gregory’s Primary School would help meet theprojected demand for places in the Ealing Quadrant.Expansion of Successful and Popular SchoolsThe presumption is in favour of the expansion of successful and popularschools. It is for the Decision Maker to decide whether a school is successfuland popular taking into all the following indicators:Schools performanceSt Gregory’s Primary School was awarded a grade of “satisfactory” for its lastOfsted inspection in October 2007. Its 2009 contextual value added (CVA)score was 101.6, which put it in the top 5% of schools nationally for contextualvalue added. In the 2010 Key Stage 2 tests 90% of pupils10
attained both English and Maths at Level 4+.Number of applications for placesThe school has historically been very popular but demand for places hasincreased significantly in the past few years. In the admissions round for2009 for St Gregory’s there were 104 on time applications for 60 places. 101of these applicants were from Catholic families. For September 2010 therewere 138 on time Catholic applicants.For admissions to reception in September 2010, 84 out of the 90 new pupilsat St Gregory’s live within statutory walking distance (2 miles) of the schoolbeyond which the council is required to provide free transport.Compliance with the School Admissions CodeThe Council confirms that the admission arrangements of St Gregory’s fullymeet the provisions of the School Admissions Code.Travel and Accessibility for AllIn considering statutory proposals, Members should satisfy themselves thataccessibility planning has been properly taken into account. Facilities are tobe accessible to all those concerned by being located close to all those whouse them and the proposed changes should not adversely impact ondisadvantaged groups.Members should bear in mind that proposals should not have the effect ofunreasonably extending journey times or increasing transport costs, or resultin too many children being prevented from travelling sustainably dueto unsuitable routes. Proposals should also be considered on the basis of howthey will support and contribute to the LA’s duty to promote the use ofsustainable travel and transport to school.By expanding schools in areas of increased demand for school places (aspreviously explained) the Council aims to locate primary school places closeto those that will use them and the proposals should not adversely impact ondisadvantaged groups and should continue to encourage the use ofsustainable travel and transport to school. (See also the ‘views of interestedparties’ section)FUNDING AND LANDCapitalMembers should be satisfied that any land, premises, or capital required toimplement the proposals will be available. The proposal is to be implementedon existing sites. Capital is being provided through the Council’s approvedPrimary Capital Programme.The Council will continue to bid for capital funding from the Department forEducation for future years of the capital programme.11
