Haberdashers Free School Questions
What analysis has been undertaken on the impact of this free school proposal at Haberdasher's Askes in Telegraph Hill on St James Hatcham, Edmund Waller, Kender, Turnham and John Stainer local primary schools? If not, why not?
What consultation has taken place with other local primary schools, including the wider community in the area, to gather their opinions, before the council makes a public statement supporting the free school, as the Haberdasher’s literature suggests we do?
What assessment has been carried out to show whether there is sufficient and suitable outdoor play provision and indoor spaces/facilities that are appropriate to younger children at the proposed Haberdasher's site for a free primary school?
Drumbeat Questions
If the Council has a duty to avoid compulsory redundancies, (according to the Member’s Briefing on 5th January 2012), what evaluation has taken place to avoid compulsory redundancies from Meadowgate, Pendragon and CIT?
How has it been evaluated and determined that the current staff at the existing schools and CIT do not have the right skills and experience to work at Drumbeat?
Have the staff appraisals and/or development reviews of the existing staff demonstrated - since the proposal to setup a new school in the 2007 Special Educational Needs review - shown that the current staff do not have the right skills for the new Drumbeat school? If they have not, then how has it been determined that they do not have the right skills, hence the need for staff to apply for the posts in the new school?
Can parents of students at Meadowgate and Pendragon Schools be assured that their preferred placement will be honoured following the closure of the schools and that there will be sufficient appropriate staffing in place to meet their needs?
Why has the position changed for staff at the ASD Outreach Service, now known as the Communication and Interaction Team (CIT) when a report entitled Strengthening Specialist Provision Programme, dated 22 March 2011 and presented to the CYP Select Committee, in point 9.1.8 states: "The current plan is for the ASD outreach service, now known as the Communication and Interaction Team, to transfer to the new school when it opens". The same report also states in point 9.2.3 that the next steps are to "Progress plans to transfer CIT to the new ASD school once it opens".
Gun Crime Questions
On 3rd January, there was an armed robbery on the Honor Oak Estate and yet again ward councillors were not told of a gun incident and had to learn about it when out knocking on doors. Would the relevant cabinet member please explain why Telegraph Hill Ward councillors were not told and why?
