East Kent Update
SIA Linda Pickles
2016 Outcomes
In 2016, the new more challenging national
curriculum was assessed, following its
introduction in 2014.
Because of the changes, figures for 2016
are not comparable to those for earlier
years.
2016 Floor Standard The floor standard is the minimum standard for pupil attainment and /
or progress that the government expects schools to meet. To be above
the floor, the school needs to meet either the attainment or all of the
progress elements.
at least 65% of pupils meet the expected standard in English
reading, English writing and mathematics;
or
the school achieves sufficient progress scores in all three subjects.
At least -5 in English reading, -5 in mathematics and -7 in English
writing.
NB: No school will be confirmed as being below the floor until
December 2016 when schools’ performance tables are published
Early Years Foundation Stage The Early Years Foundation Stage results for Kent have improved again, at 74.8%. This continues a very good
upward trend, placing Kent above the national average.

– Year 7: Thanet 1.2% Kent overall 0.0%
• Primary forecasts under estimated the number of Year R
pupils
• Secondary forecasts slightly over estimated the number
of Year 7 pupils
• Target surplus capacity between 5% and 7%
Commissioning Plan and general updates
Commissioning Plan 2017-21
• Total Primary school rolls forecast are expected to
increase from 11,322 in 2016-17 to 11,641 in 2020-21

• New housing developments are proposed for the district
– 14,000 dwellings over the Plan period up to 2031
– 950 dwellings per annum
– The forecasts do not take account of pupil product from
proposed strategic housing developments
School Commissioning
• The demand from new housing will be met through
commissioning expansion of some existing
schools where feasible and commissioning new
school provision
• New schools will be Free Schools commissioned
either through a competition route or the Free
School application route
• Information about commissioning education
provision can be found at:
– https://www.kent.gov.uk/education-and-
children/schools/education-provision
School Commissioning : Primary • There are now 32 primary schools in Thanet District across 5 planning groups,
including five infant and five junior schools, one Free School and a new primary provision at St George’s Church of England Foundation (Secondary) School which opened this academic year.
• Migration of families with young children continues, resulting in localised pressure in some year groups.
• New Primary schools will be commissioned to meet the demand from the large strategic housing developments from 2020-21 to 2022-23. KCC has requested school sites to accommodate 2FE Primary schools
• Westwood Cross • Manston Green • Birchington • Westgate • Stone Hill Park (Manston Airport)
• 0.5 expansion of St Gregory’s RCP to meet demand from adjacent development
School Commissioning : Secondary
by 2019-20 2020–21 to
2022-23)
4FE new provision Up to 4FE expansion of
new provision
• A deficit of 183 Year 7 places is predicted for entry in 2019/20 • We will commission up to 8FE of provision during the period 2019 to
2022 • This is expected to be a Free School and KCC is currently working with
the EFA and Thanet District Council to identify a suitable site for the school
• Workshops have taken place with potential sponsors to encourage Free School applications
• We will seek ways to provide additional capacity with the Secondary schools if there is a delay in establishing the new school
General updates – School Complaints
• KCC’s model complaints policy for maintained
schools has now been revised in the light of the
DfE’s 2016 guidance and is available on kelsi:
http://www.kelsi.org.uk/school-
management/complaints
• We have also added a guidance document to help
schools manage the growing issue of parents and
others raising complaints via social networking
sites
General updates – Health & Safety
• Head teachers are deemed to be the site duty holder under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and therefore have a legal duty to comply with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the Legionnaires' disease. The control of legionella bacteria in water systems – Approved code of practice and guidance. KCC has produced Policy and Procedures to help our community and VC schools to fulfil this responsibility.
• In order to help schools and ensure they are familiar with the statutory requirements and KCC’s Policy and Procedures in relation to Asbestos and Water Hygiene management, all Head Teachers of community and VC schools and their deputies are required to attend training. More detail of the training to be offered will be coming out in the autumn term and we will be writing out to schools shortly with more information. Please do not delegate this to your site managers.

Priorities for Secondary Governors
Ofsted focus:
• Most able; disadvantaged; able disadvantaged
• Effectiveness of 16-19 programmes, including destinations and independent advice and guidance
• Website compliance – especially SEND policy; Pupil Premium impact statement; adherence to 2010 Equalities Act
• Inspectors will consider governors’ development and how they improve their performance
Ofsted updates
Ofsted : Changes for 2016/7
The website must now show:
• pupil premium strategy (including rationale and
evaluation) and the PE and sport premium
• the statutory sharing with parents of curriculum
information (so the lead inspector can start to assess the
breadth and balance of the school’s curriculum and
whether it is likely to promote preparation for and an
appreciation of life in modern Britain),
• the special educational needs (SEN) information report,
• the presence and suitability of the safeguarding
guidance, and information about the promotion of
equality of opportunity and other information for parents
Ofsted : Changes for 2016/7
• In the initial phone call, inspectors will now request confirmation of the governance structure of the academy with reference, particularly for multi-academy trusts, to the range of functions delegated to local governing bodies or other committees. This should match the scheme of delegation.
• The handbook now says as many governors as possible should meet inspectors and attend feedback. Meetings with governors: “Inspectors will always seek to meet those responsible for governance during the inspection. This will usually include maintained school governors or academy trustees and sponsors (including sponsor representatives, where they exist). Where there is a trust board and LGB, both will be interviewed.
• The views of staff and pupils will now be gathered on line. This should be completed by 11.00 am on the first (or only) inspection day
• Schools causing concern: “Maintained schools and pupil referral units that are judged to be causing concern will be subject to an academy order. The Secretary of State has a duty to make an academy order for all maintained schools and PRUs judged to have serious weaknesses and for those that require special measures.
Ofsted: Changes for 2016/7
• Early years will no longer be reported separately if there are less than 5 pupils in the cohort
• Key change to the overall effectiveness of governors wording:
“The effectiveness of governors in discharging
their core statutory functions and how committed
they are to their own development as governors in
order to improve their performance.”
• This raises the importance of the role of lead governor for training.
• Governors’ responsibilities for the pupil premium includes the year 7 catch-up funding (Paragraph 148)
Ofsted : Changes for 2016/7
• References to “gaps” between disadvantaged and other pupils in the school are all changed to refer to “differences” between disadvantaged and other pupils nationally
• The reflects the fact that national data this year will no longer identify in-school gaps but the differences in performance between disadvantaged pupils in the school and pupils nationally with similar starting points.
• In English, inspectors will now: “Consider the impact of the teaching of literacy on outcomes across the curriculum”
• In Maths, inspectors will now: ‘Consider the impact of pupils’ mathematical knowledge, understanding and skills on outcomes across the curriculum”
• Inspectors will hear able and low attainers read.
Ofsted : Changes for 2016/7
• The outcomes judgement will now be made on
achievement across the curriculum
• The references to in school gaps for SEND are
removed as judgements are now against national
• Inspectors will consider progress of all
disadvantaged groups with an emphasis on the
most able.
• The term expected progress is removed
These are big changes!
Edubase – National Database of Governors
• Under section 538 of the Education Act 1996, maintained school governing
bodies will be under a duty to provide the information required on Edubase from
September 2016, and keep it up to date as those involved in governance
change. DfE do not hold information on maintained school governors and so
cannot pre-populate these fields. The fields are already live for governing bodies
that wish to populate them in advance of the duty coming into force in
September. DfE will update the Governance handbook on the constitution of
maintained schools governing bodies to reflect this new requirement
• This governance data that is not publically available will be encrypted within the
system and access will be restricted to a small number of users who need it to
fulfil their official responsibilities. The email address of the chair of the board will
be made available to regional schools commissioner offices on request where
they need direct contact with the chair. Subject to successful pilots, DfE will also
use the email address to send to chairs information about the issues that
national performance data suggests the board needs to address with its senior
leadership team.
Edubase Information to be collected:
• For all maintained school governors, and academy trustees, members and local governors, the
data DfE will collect in Edubase and make publicly available is:
• full name (including title)
• appointing body (eg board, foundation, parents etc)
• date of appointment
• date term of office ends / ended if in last year
• for maintained schools whether they are the chair of governors or a member of the governing
body, and for academies whether they are a trust member, a trustee, the chair of trustees, or a
local governor on a local governing body
• In addition, for all these individuals DfE will collect within Edubase, but not publish, a range of
information to help us to identify specific individuals:
• postcode
• date of birth
• previous names
• nationality
• direct email address for chair
• When collecting information from governors and trustees please make them aware that you will
be sharing this information with DfE, and also explain the reasons why the information is being
collected and the purpose to which it will be used. This can be added to a Governing Body
Code of Conduct.
