EDUCATION, SPORT AND CULTURE 2009 BUSINESS PLAN

FOREWORD BY MINISTER FOR EDUCATION SPORT AND CULTURE

Whilst we can be justifiably proud of our achievements in Education, Sport and Culture, it is important that we do not be come complacent.

Our schools are remarkably successful. The majority of our young people achieve excellent standards at GCSE and A Level. For a small but significant few, however, success is more elusive. Our aspiration is to help all students, regardless of their ability, to realise their full potential by providing good standards of education, training or apprenticeship schemes.

We aim to give our children the best possible start. Our primary schools must make certain that pupils progressing to secondary education have the fundamental skills to access the curriculum. At secondary level, we need to rethink aspects of the curriculum so that young people have the option to engage in meaningful vocational and occupational experiences that motivate them to achieve success.

At the beginning of 2008, the Skills Executive brought together the Ministers of Social Security, Economic Development and Education, Sport and Culture in a formal partnership. The Executive is advised by ‘Skills Jersey’, a board appointed to give employer representatives a voice in developing a coherent vision for the development of skills. This initiative has the potential to transform the way we approach skills development in Jersey.

Young people are our greatest resource and investment in them is investment in the future of the Island. The Youth Service has an important role to play. Emphasis will be placed on developing a more inclusive Youth Forum aimed at giving all young people a voice. To this end, our Department will build on good practices already in place and address the perceived lack of joint working between schools, the Youth Action Team (YAT) and the Children’s Service.

Our Library Service is strong and we must continue to support and develop it. Sport is in good shape with a network of clubs, associations, facilities and coaches that support development at grassroots level. Physical activity is an important element in a child’s development and our aim is to ensure that all pupils recognise the benefits of a healthy and active lifestyle.

The impact of culture on our everyday lives cannot be underestimated. Developing in our community, a greater sense of pride and a broader appreciation of our history and heritage at a time when resources are limited, is a real challenge. We need to work with partners such as Economic Development to promote our rich cultural heritage and explore ways of achieving this cost-effectively.

Education, Sport and Culture is about empowering people with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to develop themselves and to make a positive contribution to society. In my first year as Minister, I am committed to taking forward this progressive agenda for the States of Jersey.

Deputy James Reed

FOREWORD FROM DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION, SPORT AND CULTURE

In 2008, we set out to explore ways of working more effectively across the three major strands of our business. This is demonstrated in the structure of the 2009 Business Plan which emphasises the role of individual sections in achieving our high-level service objectives.

A successful implementation of the early years strategy will be a fundamental cornerstone of our broader strategy to improve key outcomes for children and young people. Over the coming year we will need to develop a strong partnership between public and private providers that is underpinned by a shared understanding of what constitutes high quality provision. It will also be necessary to secure agreement about the arrangements that will need to be developed to monitor and evaluate standards.

In schools, there will be a stronger focus on developing the fundamental skills of literacy and numeracy so that all our primary pupils can make a successful transition to secondary school and bring with them the skills to fully access the secondary curriculum.

In striving to achieve excellence in 2011, the Youth Service will begin to implement the recommendations of the external inspection conducted in 2008. It will also need to work effectively with the Department’s Education Support Team and other key partners to implement the recommendations of the Williamson Report.

A key objective of the Skills Executive is to continue the development of vocational education particularly for those pupils who, as they move towards the conclusion of their secondary education, begin to show signs of disaffection. The new funding formula for Highlands to be implemented at the beginning of the year should pave the way for the further extension of practical and occupational experiences designed to engage these young people and develop their skills and attitudes.

New arrangements for improving governance and accountability will be introduced at the beginning of the year. These will include the introduction of professional partners for clusters of schools and a more systematic approach to school evaluation.

Social inclusion features strongly in the 2009 plan. Initiatives will be implemented in sport, youth work, adult education and across schools to ensure that minority and hard­to-reach groups have opportunities to engage positively in our community.

In addition to these key objectives, we will continue to explore ways of working more effectively and efficiently within our department and with other departments to achieve the broader aims and aspirations of the States of Jersey.

Financial Summary 2009 2011

The Department has initiated a process of consultation with major stakeholders in order to identify key opportunities and challenges for the future. This will form the foundation for a strategic vision for Education, Sport and Culture over the next ten years and will provide the basis for long term financial planning. Key challenges include planning for the effective management of forecast changes to pupil numbers without impacting on the quality of provision and developing a Skills Strategy for the Island in partnership with other States Departments. An essential component in meeting these challenges will be to develop a revised method of funding for primary, secondary and tertiary provision which would take account of surplus school places if they materialised and the recognition that further education cannot, due to a different curriculum and priorities, be funded on the same basis. This will ensure that the current high standards of educational provision can be maintained.

Resource Allocation

The Council of Ministers has approved the allocation of funds required for the introduction of a banded funding methodology for Mont a l'Abbe School based on level of need, which will ensure that the Department can respond to the increasingly complex needs of children and young people in education. Responsibility for the administrative arrangements relating to the Aquasplash Leisure Pool was transferred to the Department in 2004 ­additional funding reflects the revenue implications of management arrangements established prior to that date.

Page 25

EDUCATION, SPORT AND CULTURE 2009 BUSINESS PLAN

The budget has been reduced in respect of the following:­ savings based on predicted pupil numbers at Highlands College; the number of students in higher education. The Student Finance budget had been supplemented by £1 million which the Council of Ministers proposed be transferred from Vocational Education and an additional Resource Allocation of £300,000 in 2008, whilst the impact of the new Student Grant funding proposals was being phased in. The majority of assumptions in respect of these areas are beyond the control of the Department, and the savings identified above will only be realised if demographic projections are correct. Resource allocations in 2010 and 2011 relate to the transfer of funds to Overseas Aid.

Efficiency Savings 2009 2011 The Department will achieve efficiency savings in 2009 amounting to £72,000 from a reorganisation of administrative and front of house support. Funds have been transferred to the corporate Procurement function which it is anticipated will lead to the identification of further Departmental savings in the future. The Comptroller and Auditor General has identified "... a number of potential reductions which involve re-consideration of the services provided by the States [and] such reductions would be likely to lead to considerable changes in the level and in some cases the type of service which the States should provide."
