Title : SERVICE PLANS
AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS – EDUCATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS AND LIFELONG LEARNING
REPORT OF THE STRATEGIC DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY / PURPOSE :
This report summarises information
on the 2002/03 Service Plan for Educational Effectiveness and Lifelong Learning
service together with information and commentary on past performance in
2001/02.
Service Plans have been prepared
to a standard format for all major service areas within the authority. The
Plans contain a range of information including :
Following preparation of a
Corporate Plan (draft approved for consultation at Executive on July 2nd
2002), a revised Service Plan format is to be introduced for the next financial
year – this will ensure that service activities directly link to the approved
corporate goals.
The Council also collects a
diverse range of information regarding service performance through both
national and local Performance Indicators (PIs) which are published each year
in the Best Value Performance Plan (BVPP). In the 2001/02 BVPP, a “traffic
light” system has been introduced to classify PIs by the following categories :

information for the following service areas :
·
Inspection and Advice.
·
Special Educational Needs and Welfare Support Services.
·
The Education Centre.
·
The Early Years Unit.
·
Youth and Community Service.

Also attached to this report
(Annex 2), are the Performance Indicators for the Select Committees areas of
responsibility. These have been categorised into the 4 “traffic light”
groupings described earlier. A fifth category (“unclassified) has been added to

8.1 STATEMENT OF PERFORMANCE 2 : ADVICE AND
INSPECTION
NON
NUMERIC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS OR AREAS FOR
IMPROVEMENT
Please give a short explanation, with figures if possible.
|
During last 12 months |
|
Achievements: Recognition
of service impact and quality in OFSTED inspection of the LEA and subsequent
HMI survey visits, as with ICT/NgFL , where the services work was described
as outstanding. Overall standards and leadership and management improvement in schools, particularly primary phase. Continued standards improvement evident in KS1 results. Reduction of school’s causing concern and those in serious weakness or special measures. Overall below the national average and that of most statistical neighbours. Service rating, at OFSTED level 2, meets best value requirements. |
|
Areas for
Improvement: Comparative
weakness in KS3 performance as seen in school PANDA and LEA profile
indicators. Service now planning, with schools, introduction of national KS3
strategy. Major service initiative area for the next three years. Improvement
of writing performance at KS2. Conference held in January 2002 follow up work
with schools and Primary/Middle clusters in place – Ref. EDP Priorities and
activities. Improvement
of KS4 GCSE matriculation in English, mathematics and science – Ref. EDP
Priorities and activities. |
|
Over last 1 to 3 years |
|
Achievements:
Improvement
in service consistency and quality of judgement. Implementation of consistent
visit and reporting practices. Schools recognise need for challenge but feel
supported in putting matters right when weakness is identified. Ref.
individual comment letters on school files, from Headteachers and Chairs of
Governors, training evaluations, results of surveys. Comparisons from a three year trend within the LEA profile
and feedback from HMI/OFSTED in relation to schools in special measures or
serious weakness indicates that the service is having a positive impact upon
the overall improvement of the
quality of education and management and leadership across all phases. All
school action plans approved at first submission by OFSTED, all schools in
special measures cleared within an average of eighteen months, as against
OFSTED two year target. Number of schools in special measures (1) and serious
weakness (1) at 4.3% is well below the national average (10%) over a three
year period. Success
of the National Literacy and Numeracy strategy initiatives. Significant three
year improvement in KS2 standards – ref. KS2 result data. Success
of the NGfL strategy implementation. All local implementation targets met –
ref. EDP. National targets, as with pupil email access met early. DfEE
recognised in top 10% for implementation. Effective cross service
collaboration. Success
of the DfEE/OFSTED Accredited course in School Self-Evaluation. Service
approved to deliver course. December 2001 all senior managers of schools have
completed the programme. High level of approval in course evaluation
responses – ref. Education Centre analysis and monitoring and EDP priorities. Development
of service teamwork and collaboration with other services within the
Directorate to secure school improvement. Ref. cross service case
conferencing on schools, cross service data input to school categorisation
meetings. |
|
Areas for Improvement: All areas
for improvement are as set out in the EDP Priorities and activities for
2002/03. |
8.2 STATEMENT OF PERFORMANCE 2 : SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND
WELFARE SUPPORT
NON NUMERIC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS, SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS OR AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
LEA OfSTED Inspection
Following
the OfSTED inspection of the LEA in June 2000, Special Educational Needs,
Behaviour Support, Provision of Education Otherwise than at School and
attendance received the following commentary.
Strategy
The
LEA is working towards a more coherent strategy. Most of the schools visited are supportive of the LEA’s
determination to develop inclusion by creating resourced provision in
mainstream schools.
Supporting School Improvement
SEN
statements are of a satisfactory standard.
Overall the support given to schools by SEN Services is satisfactory.
Statutory Obligations and Value for Money
The
LEA has improved its practice in issuing statements within 18 weeks and is now
above the national average. The LEA was
failing to comply with Code of Practice guidance to initiate annual reviews. Efforts are being made to control SEN
expenditure through a transfer or resources to
schools. There is no systematic
monitoring to ensure the provision set out in statements is being made. Overall the provision for Special
Educational Needs is unsatisfactory.
Behaviour Support
The
quality of LEA support for behaviour is satisfactory over all and good in
primary schools. The Behaviour Support
Plan is strong on provision and provides a useful guide to schools on the range
of services available. It is weak on
monitoring and evaluation.
Provision of Education Otherwise that at
School
There is a detailed
and up to date list of children out of school because of parental choices,
exclusion or for medical reasons. At
present, provision for their pupils is too variable and there is insufficient
evaluative judgement of the quality and appropriateness of educational
provision made for their pupils.
Attendance
LEA targets are
realistic and good progress is being made towards meeting them. The work of EWO’s is generally appreciated
by schools visits. Cover for sickness
absence and failure to feedback after visits creates a less than satisfactory
service.
Children in Public Care, Child Protection and Ethnic Minority Children
The LEA makes
satisfactory provision for health and safety, child protection and pupils’
welfare. The provision for children in
Public Care is satisfactory. The
quality of support for ethnic groups and travellers is satisfactory.
