Building Schools for the Future
Success will enable:
• social and cultural change;

town;

• tackle deprivation;
• enhance economic prosperity.
HOW?
• shared facilities;
• inclusive schools with joint strategies
between schools to support the most
vulnerable;
• better support for families;
• support the work of multiple agencies
working together.
NB. New build is only an enabler.

SCOPE
Key Areas
What difference BSF makes……..
• How will the Authority ensure choice, diversity and
access for all parents and students?
• How will the Authority ensure robust challenge to
include strategies for early intervention for
underperforming schools?
• How will the Authority deliver personalised learning to
ensure every student is fully stretched and can
access a broad curriculum that best suits their needs
and talents?
• How will the Authority ensure the effective delivery of
the 14 – 19 entitlement in partnership with LSC and
FE providers?
Key Areas
What difference BSF makes……..
• To what extent is the Authority ensuring effective
integration of education and other services through
Every Child Matters?
• How does the Authority plan to champion the needs
of all students, including those with SEN?
• What change management strategies – for both the
Authority and schools - are in place to achieve the
local BSF vision?

Strategy for Change Part 2 – Autumn 2007
–
–
–
–
Develop the formation of the proposed Trust and its
membership and also identify how it will challenge
and support the component schools and drive
regeneration.
Demonstrate that the Pupil Placement and Planning
Policy meets the anticipated increase in housing in
the area.
Develop a transport strategy that will meet the needs
of the more flexible use of sites proposed in the SfC
Part 1.
Develop models of governance that will enable
acceleration of Federations in this wave of BSF
investment.
Strategy for Change Part 2 – Autumn 2007
–
–
Recognise and demonstrate how the improvements in
provision will lead to improved outcomes for identified
children such as those attending PRUs and those
gifted and talented.
In order to complete the activities required up to OBC
stage, ensure that the LA can demonstrate that it has
in place robust project governance and project
management arrangements which ensure that the
workstreams are aligned to the BSF project plan .
Strategy for Change Part 2 – Autumn 2007
–
–
–
–
–
Demonstrate how ICT will be used to:
- Support and enable curriculum development and
personalised learning;
- Support school leadership and management;
- Improve workforce reform.
Ensure that included are KPIs and milestones against
which progress in the BSF project can be measured.
Develop clearer communications strategy to ensure
stakeholder engagement
SfC part 2 has a required length of between 25 and
30 pages.
It has a completion date of 28th September 2007.
What next for rest of Authority?
• 2008 is an opportunity to re-prioritise and
may now be based on readiness to deliver.
• Hearts and minds.
• Never been about condition – but date used
for Asset Management Plan.
• How ready are you?
Requirements
for Waves 7 - 15
Scheme must be;
• coherent with the authority’s earlier project and
complement the authority-wide drive for transformation
• of a capital value of from £80 to £100 million to ensure a
sensible flow of work for the LEP
• for geographically coherent groups of schools
Criterion 1 Social and Educational Need
Fundamental priorities for 2003 and 2006.
Social Need
• Nationally most of the areas of high deprivation and poor
standards have been included in the programme already
and it could also be agreed that deprivation should
become a supporting priority for Somerset rather than a
key priority.
• The measure proposed by the DSCF is the Tax Credit
Indicator
Criterion 1 Social and Educational Need
Fundamental priorities for 2003 and 2006.
Education Need
This is still key to the governments agenda and should be a
priority. Where there is a need to raise standards this will
require schools to be considering;
• Their standards
• 14 – 19 curriculum delivery
• Inclusion and special schools
• Alternative provision
• Joint working and co-location
• Workforce reform
• Extended Schools
Criterion 1 Social and Educational Need
Fundamental priorities for 2003 and 2006.
For schools to score highly in this area we would measure;
• 5 A to C GCSE’s including Maths and English
• Their links with neighbouring schools
• The needs of the wider community
• Experience of joint working
• Ability to deliver the 14 – 19 curriculum
• Extended Schools
Criterion 2 Buildings
(Suitability and Condition)
BSF funding provides for Building Bulletin 98 for
mainstream schools and Building Bulletin 77 for
special schools
•
The Asset Management Plan considers three elements
of the buildings;
•
Suitability
•
Condition
•
Sufficiency
Criterion 2 Buildings
(Suitability and Condition)
As an authority we propose that;
• accommodation is only replaced to BB 98 or BB 77 floor
area even if schools currently benefit from more floor
area
• buildings that have been surveyed as structurally
challenged will be the priority for new build
• sites where the overall management/suitability is
compromised by the current arrangement will be
considered for new build.
• the rest of the estate will be considered as remodelling
and refurbishment.
Criterion 2 Buildings
(Suitability and Condition)
Condition of buildings –
• Where a building is structurally challenged and required
to meet BB 98 and BB77 it will be a high priority for new
build
• Where a building is older than 1996 (start of funding for
new build modernisation programme), required to meet
BB98 or BB77, but not structurally challenged the
allocation will be based on remodelling
• Where a building has been constructed since 1996 and
the building is required to meet BB98 or BB77 then the
allocation will be based on refurbishment.
Criterion 3 contributing to local and regional
regeneration,
including opportunities for co-location of other public services
We will look for opportunities to bring together services linking funding
streams in order to take advantage or wider gains. Services to be
considered will include;
• leisure
• childcare/extended schools
• health and social care
• adult training
• library
• police
• local service team/area offices
• youth
Criterion 4 School reorganisation
BSF funding will facilitate school reorganisation plans and
therefore as these are developed and approved they will
be a priority for funding to ensure they are delivered
Criterion 5 Sustainable communities, new housing and
population growth
• the Regional Spatial Strategy has identified areas of
growth in Wellington, Taunton, Bridgwater (M5 corridor),
and Yeovil. Pupil numbers in some other areas are
reducing. The provision of our schools need to support
the delivery of the curriculum whilst supporting that
community
• BSF funding will be used to facilitate the appropriate size
schools for the communities to be served.
Requirement A
To be coherent with the authority’s earlier
project and complement the authoritywide drive for transformation
This will be demonstrated in Criterion 1
Educational Need
Requirement B
To be of a capital value of from £80 to
£100 million. There is some flexibility
around this range, to ensure a sensible
flow of work for the LEP
We propose packages of work to be around
£100m. The Somerset LEP will be signed in
February 2010 and therefore we support a work
pattern of a future 6 packages starting in 2010
Requirement C
To be for geographically coherent groups
of schools
To enable town wide cultural change it is
important that groups of schools are
supported within the same package
Suggested Priorities for Somerset BSF Schools
Principle : Funding will be based on BB98 and BB77 allocations
Priorities:
1 Condition of School Building
Criteria 2
2
Educational need with suitability of school building
Criteria 1b and 2
3
Local and regional regeneration
Criteria 3
4
School organisation and sufficiency
Criteria 4 and 2
5
Social need
Criteria 1a
6
Sustainable community with sufficiency
Criteria 5 and 2
Developed into 6 packages each of approximately £100m in geographically coherent groups.
Somerset has already demonstrated not only readiness to deliver but also competent delivery of the project
so far.
What is a LEP?
What does the LEP do?
 “Local delivery vehicle for optimal deployment of strategic capital
investment”
 Exclusive right to develop proposals for and deliver BSF schools
 Integrates ICT with design and build for optimal education
outcomes
 Undertakes maintenance and other premises services to some or
all schools
