EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An initial schools asset management plan (SAMP) was produced for the period 2007 – 2011. Cabinet, at its meeting on 18 March 2008, agreed a provisional forward capital programme and agreed adoption of the SAMP for submission to WAG. There has been much progress since 2007 which is outlined in the plan. Caerphilly County Borough Council (CCBC) is committed to the promotion of school improvement ensuring higher standards of learning and achievement. CCBC acknowledges that capital improvements have a key part to play in realising this objective and that many of the County’s schools require substantial capital investment to create a suitable environment for today’s learning. It is also recognised that capital improvements together with improved maintenance and better use of premises form part of the Government’s agenda of reform and modernisation of the Country’s schools, helping to make them become a focal point of learning for the whole community. The SAMP provides the means through which likely future needs are assessed, criteria for priorities are set and informed decisions on local spending priorities are made. Spend priorities on school buildings will have regard to condition, suitability, utilisation, energy performance, DDA compliance and running costs. The SAMP will ultimately form part of the Corporate Asset Management Plan and will be updated annually. CCBC fully supports the underpinning principle of AMPs to bring longer term certainty to the maintenance and improvement of school buildings in a planned and organised manner. The Council inherited 97 primary sector schools in 1996. The present number totals 75, following a sustained period of closures, amalgamations and new school openings. This process has resulted in the removal of 1500 school places. The Council inherited 16 secondary schools in 1996. Two secondary schools have been closed (2005 and 2007) to date, amongst only a total of 8 across Wales during this same period. CCBC is using a variety of approaches to project procurement including ‘design and build’ and traditional and partnering via frameworks is also being considered. Off site and modular construction methods are considered where the programme or the constraints of the site mean these give clear advantage. External and internal design teams are utilized dependant upon workload and market conditions and collaboration with adjacent authorities in terms of sharing resources and workload is being discussed. The principles outlined in ‘Rethinking Construction’ and ‘Modernising Construction’ are all being considered and tenders are awarded on the basis of both quality and price to ensure best value is achieved. All projects meeting the requirements will be assessed against the new BREEAM Schools Standard of Design. This includes new school projects, extensions and all projects involving significant remodelling or refurbishment. Water sprinklers will be installed into all new schools. CCBC is committed to providing sustainable and energy-efficient school buildings that are consistent with the Government's strategy for sustainable development for the U.K. This includes a commitment to the principles that all building projects should wherever possible contribute to the effective protection of the environment and prudent use of natural resources. CCBC (along with 5 other LEAs) is currently working with the Assembly, Value Wales and WLGA in considering collaborative procurement developments re. school capital projects.

BH v2 8.10.09 of 41

Significant surplus places remain in both Primary and Secondary sectors. There is clear evidence that the number in the Primary sector is overstated and will be reviewed in the Autumn term 2009. The ongoing process of providing fit for purpose (size compliant) classrooms is having the effect of reducing Primary school places in any event and whilst future rationalisation in the Primary sector may be limited, it is intended to actively consider federation arrangements. It is acknowledged that surplus secondary places exist, particularly in the former Islwyn area of the Authority. The Council has been pro-active in meeting increasing demand for Welsh Medium education. Three additional Primary schools have opened since 2004 and there is now a need to address the secondary provision, with Y G Cwm Rhymni due to reach capacity by 2013. The Council has recently been successful in securing £15.39m from WAG transitional funding. These monies will secure the replacement of 3 Primary schools, significant improvements to another Primary school and the replacement of up to 14 demountable classrooms at a Secondary school.

BH v2 8.10.09 of 41

BACKGROUND

The way that a local education authority plans the provision and supply of school places and manages admission of pupils is critical to ensure that limited financial resources are spent to best effect. Section 86 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 states :- “1. A local education authority shall make arrangements for enabling the parent of a child in the

area of the authority -

(a) to express a preference as to the school at which he wishes education to be provided for his child in the exercise of the authority’s functions; and

(b) to give reasons for his preference.

2. Subject to subsections (3) and (6) and Section 87 (children excluded from two or more schools),

a local education authority and the governing body of a maintained school shall comply with any preference expressed in accordance with arrangements made under subsection (1).

3. The duty imposed by subsection (2) does not apply:-

(a) if compliance with the preference would prejudice the provision of efficient education or the

efficient use of resources”. This key strategic function of the LEA requires determining the number, size, composition and location of its schools. This entails LEAs having to ensure that there are sufficient places to accord with parental preference, except where this would prejudice effective education and the efficient use of resources. In doing this, it needs to take account of overall changes in demographic trends, of more local variations as a result of new housing developments or estates in decline, and of changing levels of popularity for particular schools. These tasks will assume even greater importance with impending changes to admission arrangements and the need to demonstrate value for money/cost effectiveness in the efficient delivery of the service. Cabinet (subsequently ratified by Council) agreed from 2000/01 that if a school had 15% or more of out of catchment pupils then additional accommodation would not be approved. Due to bids continuing to exceed budget availability this policy has continued each financial year since. This policy arrangement has had the desired effect of limiting out of catchment pupils, thereby optimising the use of ‘in-catchment’ accommodation. This has also had the effect of ensuring acceptable bids from schools with below 15% out of catchment pupils are affordable. The effect of this has also resulted in only 23 primary admission requests being refused for the 2009/10 academic year (all out of catchment or late in catchment requests) and relate to 5 schools. This confirms local places are available for local pupils across the County Borough. The Council’s annual capital programme has been used to fund initiatives such as school security, health & safety, asset management priority works, removal of demountable classrooms. The WAG £9m school building improvement grant (SBIG) allocated for the 2005-2010 period has been used to provide 2 replacement primary schools, an infant extension to become a primary and a secondary extension. WAG announced in March 2009 a further £11.35m for the Council in relation to its transitional (2009/10 and 2010/11) funding which provides for 2 replacement primary schools, major improvement scheme at a Primary school and a secondary scheme to replace up to 14 demountable classrooms. WAG subsequently announced the 2nd tranche of transitional funding (2010/11 and 2011/12) in July 2009 and provided a further £4.04m for replacement of a primary school (subject to the Council funding 20%/£1.01m of the estimated cost which has been agreed by Cabinet).

BH v2 8.10.09 of 41

Some of these schemes were included in the school asset management plan and provisional capital programme 2008-2013, agreed by Cabinet on 18 March 2008.

Primary Council has adopted four principal criteria in considering rationalisation of primary school places, namely:-

i. Viability of the school(s) to deliver the national curriculum. ii. Viability of the school(s) to manage effectively within their delegated budgets.

iii. Extent of surplus school places/excess pupils, based both on present numbers and forecast pupil projections.

iv. Maintenance needs of school(s) and assessment of accommodation based on fit for purpose (suitability and sufficiency).

When schools are considered in the context of the above, they will often meet 2 or more criteria for review. In every instance to date the national curriculum viability [criterion(i)] has been relevant together with some or all of the remainder. As regards criteria (iii) and (iv) these need to be considered in the context of the National Assembly’s expectation that schools will be up to standard (was initially by 2010). This will require the Council to manage school places having regard to an assessment of realistic ‘fit for purpose’ accommodation needs to effectively deliver a modern curriculum. This would include class size legislation, the Foundation curriculum and Key Stage 2/3 transition arrangements. Council has, since 1996, advocated 3-11 primary schools and with a minimum size of 200 pupils, ideally to obviate the need for mixed age classes. Recent primary school proposals have a minimum of 8 classrooms (including nursery) i.e. 1 per year group, with a capacity of 210 pupils, plus 30 nursery. An analysis of primary sector school sizes, as at January 2009, are as follows :

STAGES IN DEVELOPING THE SAMP Purpose The SAMP sets out the information needed, and the criteria used, to make fair and transparent decisions about spending on school premises which will:

• Raise standards of educational attainment • Enable inclusion as far as possible of pupils with disabilities into mainstream schools • Ensure provision of safe and secure buildings • Provide sustainable and energy efficient buildings • Provide innovative design solutions which reflect, amongst other things, the future needs of ICT

based education. • Increase community use of school facilities. • Ensure efficient and effective management of new and existing capital assets. • Reflect the current and anticipated future needs of the curriculum. • Underpin the Council’s priorities for maintenance, repair and improvement of school buildings.

Key priorities The key priorities which underpin our schools’ asset management strategy are to:

• provide healthy, safe and secure school environments for young people; • provide sufficient and suitable school buildings for CCBC residents wishing to access a place in

a local school for their children; • provide inspirational and adaptable school buildings which contribute to the delivery of quality

and effective education for the 21st century, the modernisation agenda and to raising standards; • provide energy efficient school buildings and aspire to the BREEAM Excellent standard

wherever possible; • make most effective use of available funding and resources, thereby securing value for money; • ensure equality of opportunity for CCBC students of all ages; • maximise funding opportunities e.g. WAG, Section 106 agreements, capital receipts.

Resources

CCBC welcomes the additional capital monies made available by the Assembly in recent years and has committed much of its own funds to enhance this building improvement programme. These resources are designed to:

• have schools in good physical shape and ensuring they are properly maintained • raise educational standards and to ensure all classrooms are fit for purpose, and designed to

deliver a modern curriculum. • produce high quality provision which will take account of the foundation phase of the curriculum

for 3 to 7 year olds. • provide suitable accommodation to maintain class sizes at or below 30. • encourage greater community use of schools. • promote better design. All new and remodelled schools will be designed to at least minimum

Building Bulletin Regulation standards and comprise water sprinklers and a BREEAM rating of at least very good.

• support plans that are ambitious and strategic. This to include consideration of efficient provision of Primary and Secondary education, to include14-19 curriculum developments.

• satisfy the increasing demand for Welsh Medium provision. The Scope of the SAMP is illustrated in Appendix 1.

BH v2 8.10.09 of 41

PROGRESS TO DATE Welsh Assembly Government Policy The National Assembly’s original expectation was that all schools will be up to standard by 2010. The Council has invested substantially to make school buildings fit for purpose (both in terms of suitability and sufficiency) specifically designed to meet ongoing service requirements. The Council, however, has advised WAG that it is not realistic to expect all schools to reach this standard until 2022, at the earliest, based on present levels of capital (CCBC and WAG) funding.

Fit for Purpose Many of the classrooms across the County Borough are not conducive to the effective delivery of the modern national curriculum. This has included lack of basic facilities e.g. water in classrooms. All newly constructed classrooms (excluding nursery) provide for a minimum 55.8m2 which is the WAG recommended minimum size and is equivalent to 1.8m2 per pupil up to 30 pupils plus 1.8m2 for a teacher. It does not follow that classrooms as presently used do not meet this fit for purpose (size) assessment as most classes are now below 30 in number. The intention would be to work in partnership with schools to address the open plan or other design problems with these classrooms. With generally falling pupil rolls within the primary sector this permits the potential for internal adaptations such as knocking 2 classrooms into 1 or 3 into 2. An analysis of the primary sector classroom sizes across the County Borough in 2007 revealed that only 323 (45.37%) were at a size of 55.8m2 or greater. A target was set to increase this number incrementally to 330 (March 2008), 360 (March 2009) and 375 (52%) by March 2010 and these were agreed by Members. Since 2007, the number of size compliant classrooms has increased by 43, although some have been redesignated for alternative uses. Presently 346 of the 702 designated classrooms (49.3%) are size compliant. Schools’ Changes 1996 – 2009 Primary CCBC inherited 97 primary sector schools in 1996. This number included 5 nursery schools. As at September 2009 there will be 75 primary sector schools. This follows a sustained period of school closures and amalgamations, as evidenced below :

ACADEMIC YEAR Total Inherited 1 April 1006 : 92 Primary Sector + 5 Nursery 97 1996/97 Academic Year : 4 Nursery School closures 93 1997/98 Academic Year : 1 Primary closure + 1 amalgamation 91 1998/99 Academic Year : No Change 91 1999/00 Academic Year : 2 amalgamations 89 2000/01 Academic Year : 2 amalgamations + 1 new (EM) Primary 88 2001/02 Academic Year : Closure 1 Nursery,1 Infants, 6 amalgamations 80 2002/03 Academic Year : No Change 80 2003/04 Academic Year : 3 closures, 1 opening 78 2004/05 Academic Year : 3 amalgamations, 1 opening 76 2005/06 Academic Year : 2 amalgamations 74 2006/07 Academic Year : No Change 74 2007/08 Academic Year : 1 closure 73 2008/09 Academic Year : 1 opening 74 2009/10 Academic Year : 1 opening 75

BH v2 8.10.09 of 41

The other main developments since 1996 may be summarised as :

• universal part-time nursery provision was established in every primary school in September 1997

• all five nursery schools inherited from the former Mid Glamorgan County Council have been closed and the pupils transferred to the local primary school to form a 3-11 primary school as part of this expansion process

• the catchment areas for all community primary schools have been reviewed following a consultation exercise with Headteachers, governors and local Members

• school capacity levels have been continually revised and agreed with Headteachers, including based on the new WAG formulae.

• pupil projections have been developed to inform Headteachers of pupil number forecasts. This has been done in conjunction with the provision of live birth data which has been supplied by the Gwent Health Authority.

• the Authority has consulted on, and implemented a number of, school closures and amalgamations.

• removal of in excess of 1500 school places. Some recent primary school builds have made provision for greater use by the community. A good example of this is the New Tredegar Regeneration Scheme, a project run on a partnership basis between the Council, the Community Partnership and the private sector. The project not only provided a replacement school (to replace 3 old and unsuitable school buildings) but includes services provided for the Police, Library Service, Healthy Living Centre and Surestart Facilities. The project also includes a major new Highway Infrastructure and incubator units for employment opportunities and represents a major boost to the regeneration of New Tredegar. Secondary CCBC inherited two different systems of secondary education provision which represent a mix of 11-16 and 11-18 schools. Within the geographic area of the Authority, there is also the Crosskeys Campus of Coleg Gwent, plus Ystrad Mynach College, both of which work closely in partnership with the Council. The main developments since 1996 may be summarised as :

• the catchment areas for all secondary schools have been reviewed following a consultation exercise with Headteachers, governors and local members.

• school capacity levels have regularly been reviewed and agreed with Headteachers, including based on the new WAG formulae.

• pupil projections have been developed from the contributory primary schools to inform Headteachers of pupil number forecasts.

• two replacement secondary schools (Lewis School and Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni) were opened in 2002. These schools were built under the Private Finance Initiative (PFI)).

• two secondary schools have been closed, namely Bedwellty (2005) and St Ilan (2007). • major extension provided at Rhymney Comprehensive as part of WAG’s School Building

Improvement Grant (£9m) Initiative. WAG has also provided some transitional capital funding in 2009/10 and 2010/11 for further works at Rhymney Comprehensive totalling £2m, which will replace all or most of the 14 demountable classrooms currently on the site.

• there has also been significant improvements to a number of other secondary schools with major projects such as curtain walling replacements, re-roofing, etc.

• removal of circa 1000 school places

BH v2 8.10.09 of 41

The Council has long recognised the need to rationalise the way that secondary education is provided within the county borough. In the period from 1996 only 8 secondary schools across Wales have been closed and CCBC is one of only 2 LAs that has closed two. Details of the extensive school changes from 1996 to date can be evidenced in the details attached as Appendix 2. Since the initial SAMP was produced in 2007, the following developments have occurred:

• Closure of St. Ilan Secondary School. • Closure of Argoed Primary School. • £9m WAG SBIG monies fully spent. • New Primary schools opened at Bryn Awel (former Lower Rhymney), Ysgol Ifor Bach, Rhiw Syr

Dafydd (junior extension) and Ysgol Penalltau. • YGG Cwm Derwen established on the former Rhiw Syr Dafydd Junior School site. • Major extension at Rhymney Comprehensive. • £15.39m of WAG funding secured to provide 3 replacement Primary schools, major adaptations

to a Primary school and replacement of up to 14 demountable classrooms at a Secondary school

• Increasing Welsh Medium demand has been met by establishing 2 additional Primary schools, replacement Ysgol Ifor Bach and increasing capacity at 2 other schools

• The fit for purpose (size compliant) target of classrooms in excess of 55.8m2, agreed by Members, has been exceeded

• WAG’s new capacity formulae have been introduced for the Primary (September 2008) and Secondary (September 2009) sectors.

• Part of a 5 Authority (with Blaenau Gwent, Monmouth, Merthyr and Rhondda-Cynon-Taff) initiative with Value Wales, WLGA and WAG to seek to achieve economies in procurement of large scale capital projects.

THE SCHOOL ASSETS/CAPITAL PROGRAMME

The school assets as at September 2009 are as follows:

Asset Type Age Range NumberPrimary schools 3 – 11 65 Infant schools 3 – 7 6 Junior schools 7 – 11 4 Secondary schools 11 – 16 5 Secondary schools 11 – 18 9 Special schools 3 – 18 1 The Learning Centre 11 – 16 1

Details of the Council’s school buildings are attached as Appendix 3. Condition Surveys Based on the 2009 survey data (excluding DDA) the identified costs are:

PRIMARY SECONDARY TRINITY FIELDSP1 £ 136,321.00 170,568.00 0.00 P2 £ 3,130,922.00 3,016,854.00 5,231.00 P3 £ 11,599,941.00 10,510,487.00 246,398.00 P4 £ 13,721,953.00 10,048,229.00 407,661.00 TOTAL £ 28,589,137.00 23,746,138.00 659,290.00

Details by individual school are outlined in Appendix 4. The estimated amount for DDA compliance is £15m but updated DDA surveys are programmed for the near future. Schools’ Capital Expenditure 1996 – 2009 The Council has committed substantial funds to the schools’ capital programme during this period. These funds have been supplemented by WAG monies (including annual SBIG and £9m large scheme SBIG), PFI, capital receipts, school joint funding arrangements and Section 106 planning gains. Since 1996 the investment levels on schools are as follows:

£m School Security/Health & Safety 4 Additional Accommodation Needs 7 Planned Maintenance 12 WAG (School Building Improvement Grant) 21 New/Remodelled Schools (CCBC funding) 16

Total 60

Details of the capital programme for the 2007/08 – 2010/2011 period is illustrated in Appendix 5.

Accommodation Requirements There is a need to consider every school’s accommodation needs and this is done on an annual basis each Autumn. This includes demographic changes with the objective of removing excess pupils and surplus places. A capital bid pro-forma is circulated each Autumn to schools. A separate analysis of each school is maintained on the ‘W’ drive (‘School Profile’ spreadsheet). An example of the pro-forma is attached as Appendix 6. This analysis is critical to informing future decision making and complements asset management data maintained for each school by Corporate Property Services on the ‘X’ drive. BH v2 8.10.09 of 41

SURPLUS PLACES/OVERFILLED PLACES The number of surplus places/overfilled places, based on January 2009, amount to 3585 and 49 respectively in the primary sector and 2202 and 8 in the secondary sector. Detailed school by school capacity details are attached as Appendix 7a (Primary) and 7b (Secondary). As regards schools with 25% or more surplus places and more than 30 places, the details for the last 3 years (details not available at an All Wales level for 2005) are as follows:

YEAR CCBC % OF SCHOOLS ALL WALES % OF SCHOOLSPRIMARY SECONDARY PRIMARY SECONDARY

2006 17.56 26.66 26.30 17.00 2007 22.97 21.42 27.30 22.30 2008 24.70 28.70 21.40 26.10

Based on January 2008 there are 18 primary and 3 secondary CCBC schools above this benchmark. It was evident following recent discussions with primary schools that the capacity did not reflect present usage of accommodation. As a consequence, most primary schools have been visited and for the remainder, details have been updated following discussions with headteachers. It is extremely important to draw a distinction between surplus spaces and surplus places. In the recent analysis of primary school visits and discussions, no schools had empty classrooms but there are still significant surplus places according to WAG’s capacity formula. This suggests very efficient use of space planning and would support the many improvements recently undertaken to primary school buildings. The net effect of this review is that the surplus places were substantially reduced from 3140 to 1290, a reduction of 1850 (59%). Many of the revised surplus places are a consequence of classrooms being of a fit for purpose size (to accommodate 30 pupils) whereas class sizes are considerably lower, typically averaging 25. Based on this revised analysis, there are only 5 primary schools above the 25%/30 surplus places level. These reductions were not reflected in formal reductions in admission numbers although this is anticipated in the autumn of 2009. As regards secondary, the new capacity formula has had the effect of increasing surplus places to 2202 (14.98%). A similar review to that conducted in the Primary sector is planned. In addition to the review of surplus places, there is a need to improve the quality of school buildings and enhance the teaching and learning environment. This will have a direct impact on raising standards across all schools. The Council’s capital programme and WAG funding will continue to be used to address the quality of school buildings. Many of the classrooms across the County Borough are not conducive to the effective delivery of the modern national curriculum. This has included lack of basic facilities e.g. lack of water, which have been invested in recent years.

All newly constructed classrooms provide for a minimum 55.8m2, which is the equivalent of 1.8m2 per pupil up to 30 pupils, plus 1 teacher. This is in line with the capacity calculation assessment and is also the Assembly’s expectation as regards new classroom buildings in recent years. Cabinet agreed targets in 2007 to see increase in size compliant classrooms and this target is continually monitored. Addressing the demand for pupil places has been usually met by the provision of demountable classrooms. Due to financial constraints, many demountable classrooms exist across the Council and Members have received an analysis of these. Many of the more modern demountable classrooms are of a high standard and meet the ‘fit for purpose’ criteria. They are often, also, sought after within the schools in preference to the internal classrooms. BH v2 8.10.09 of 41

Property Services have reviewed the condition of the demountable classrooms and most are in a reasonably good condition. Many of the worst condition classrooms have either been demolished (eg Ty Sign Primary, Cefn Fforest Primary) or replaced in recent years (eg Lewis Pengam and Y G Cwm Rhymni) or are scheduled to be taken out of use (e.g. Rhymney Comprehensive). A review of temporary classroom accommodation will be undertaken annually and removed, where possible.

SCOPE OF THE SAMP

The SAMP covers all school buildings that are the responsibility of the Education & Leisure Directorate. These include 75 primary sector schools, 14 secondary schools, Trinity Fields Special School and Resource Centre and The Learning Centre.

Premises Information Accurate and up-to-date premises information is essential to enable successful development of the SAMP. Apart from underpinning the capital and repair programmes, the information will help inform strategies for improving the use and performance of existing assets and maximising value for money.

Condition The condition of school buildings has an impact on school standards. ESTYN has evidenced that children work better in safe, warm and dry buildings that provide a stimulating and attractive environment. Poor condition buildings can lead to a loss of school days due to school closures, injuries to staff and health problems for pupils. Condition surveys have been carried out in 1997, 2003 and most recently 2009. The data is used when considering priorities for capital funding of projects. The estimated costs of works to bring all schools up to standard (including DDA works) presently amounts to £70m. Condition survey information identifies work required to maintain school buildings in a serviceable state of repair or to rectify any breaches in legislation. Elements are assigned a grade and a priority, using the following recommended grades: Grade A - Good. Performing as intended and operating efficiently. Grade B - Satisfactory. Performing as intended but exhibiting minor deterioration. Grade C - Poor. Exhibiting major defects and/or not operating as intended. Grade D - Bad. Life expired and/or serious risk of imminent failure. The following priority grades are recommended in the context of a five year planning period: Priority 1 Urgent work that will prevent immediate closure of premises and/or address an

immediate high risk to the health and safety of occupants and/or remedy a serious breach of legislation.

Priority 2 Essential work required within two years that will prevent serious deterioration of the fabric or services and/or address a medium risk to the health and safety of occupants and/or remedy a less serious breach of legislation.

Priority 3 Desirable work required within three to five years that will prevent deterioration of the fabric or services and/or address a low risk to the health and safety of occupants and/or remedy a minor breach of legislation.

Priority 4 Long term work required outside the five year planning period that will prevent deterioration of the fabric or services.

Sufficiency Local Authorities have a statutory duty (Section 86 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998) to comply with parental preference in the supply of school places other than if compliance with the preference would prejudice the provision of efficient education or the efficient use of resources. Authorities must also ensure there are no key stage 1 classes of more than 30 pupils.

Suitability This includes sustainability requirements e.g. BREEAM standards, energy efficiencies, reductions in carbon dioxide emissions and provision of water sprinklers. The Local Authority has statutory duties to increase the accessibility of schools for disabled pupils, staff and parents over time. Health, Safety And Security Effective school security is important to ensure the safety of young people in schools’ care and the confidence of parents. It is also important in order to protect school building from criminal or other damage. CCBC will also have regard to the diverse needs of individual pupils, including disabled access. A DDA audit has been undertaken at every school and has been made available to them. Schools have produced school accessibility plans, and will have set priorities to undertake identified works. Inclusion Services are developing DDA accessible schools on a geographical area basis as a first priority. BH v2 8.10.09 of 41
