Reasons for proposal:
In January 2018 and between 19 February and 9 April 2019, two phases
of informal consultation were carried out by Northumberland County
Council on ideas for the organisation of schools in Haydon Bridge and
Hexham School Partnerships in the west of the county. These
consultations were promulgated by a number of external factors,
including:
a) The potential closure of Haydon Bridge High School due to the
withdrawal of the Bright Tribe Trust as a sponsor.
b) A consultation carried out by the Hadrian Learning Trust in Hexham
Partnership to seek authorisation from the Regional Schools
Commissioner to change its age range.
c) The financial difficulties predicted by several schools if they are
to maintain an appropriate curriculum offer.
d) The poor physical state of many school and academy buildings and
need for significant investment in the school estate.
e) Home to school transport arrangements in light of the rural nature
of the west of the county.
Having considered feedback from consultation and the educational case
for change in relation to the Haydon Bridge and Hexham Partnerships,
the Council’s Cabinet has approved publication of this statutory
proposal to close Bellingham Middle School and Sports College to take
effect from 31 August 2019 and to extend the age ranges of Bellingham,
Kielder, Otterburn, Greenhaugh and West Woodburn First Schools to take
effect from 1 September 2019. The Council is not required to publish a
statutory proposal in relation to Wark Church of England First School
and any decision in this regard would be made in conjunction with the
outcomes of the proposals set out in this statutory proposal. The
publication of the statutory proposals has been approved on the basis
that the establishment of a primary-secondary model across the whole
of the Haydon Bridge Partnership would be in the best educational
interests of the current and future pupils in that area. The
introduction of one system of school organisation across the Haydon
Bridge Partnership would necessitate the closure of Bellingham Middle
School and Sports College, but would enable primary schools to have
larger cohorts of pupils in Years 5 and 6 and enable Haydon Bridge
High School to have larger cohorts in Years 7 and 8. No proposals for
statutory organisational changes to local authority maintained schools
in the Hexham Partnership have been proposed as a result of informal
consultation.
Effect on other schools, academies and educational institutions in the
area
Haltwhistle Community Campus is an academy trust within the Haydon
Bridge Partnership, which includes Haltwhistle First School and
Haltwhistle Middle School; should the Council approve the proposals
set out in the statutory proposal at a later date, the Council would
work with the new sponsor of Haltwhistle Community Campus to develop a
solution that would fit with the wider organisation of schools in the
Haydon Bridge Partnership. Should the new sponsor of Haltwhistle
Community Campus submit a request to the Regional Schools Commissioner
for the closure of Haltwhistle Middle School, the timeline for closure
and the transition arrangements for pupils would be the same as those
for Bellingham Middle school and Sports College set out in the
‘Displaced pupils and timeline for implementation’ section of this
proposal. Similarly, should the new sponsor of Haltwhistle Community
Campus submit a request to the RSC for the extension of the age range
of Haltwhistle First School from an age 3 to 9 academy to an age 3 to
11 academy, the timeline and transition arrangements for pupils would
be the same as those for the first schools set out in the ‘Displaced
pupils and timeline for implementation’ section of this proposal.
Project Costs and Proposed Stages for Implementation
Should this Statutory Proposal be approved for implementation, there
would be a need to carry out building works to facilitate the changes.
Building costs set out in Table 1 below are estimates and should be
treated as draft as they are subject to further detailed work and a
tender process.

Displaced Pupils and timeline for implementation
In accordance with section 15(1) of the Education and Inspections Act
2006, Northumberland County Council intends to discontinue (close) the
following school with effect from 31 August 2019:
*
Bellingham Middle School and Sports College, Redesmouth Road,
Bellingham, Hexham, Northumberland, NE48 2EN. In May 2018, there
were 108 pupils enrolled at Bellingham Middle School, a local
authority maintained community school. It is expected that a
similar number of pupils would be on roll in September 2019, who
would be displaced should the school close.
To facilitate this, it is proposed that the following model be
implemented in accordance with the following arrangements and timeline
subject to finalisation of the associated buildings programme:
First schools in the Haydon Bridge Partnership that would become
primary schools (Greenhaugh, West Woodburn, Bellingham, Kielder,
Otterburn First Schools and Wark Church of England First School)
1 September 2019
*
Pupils in Year 4 in the all of the above first schools on 31
August 2019 would be retained by their new primary schools as the
new Year 5.
1 September 2020
*
Pupils in Year 5 in these primary schools on 31 August 2020 would
be retained as the new Year 6.
1 September 2021
*
Pupils in Year 6 in the these primary schools on 31 August 2021
would transfer as the new Year 7 to Haydon Bridge High School and
would join other Year 7 pupils moving from the existing primary
schools in the Haydon Bridge Partnership, or to another school
providing education in those year groups according to parental
preference.
Haydon Bridge High School
1 September 2019
*
Students on roll in Year 6 in existing primary schools in the
Haydon Bridge Partnership on 31 August 2019 would transfer into
Year 7 at Haydon Bridge High School as usual.
*
Students on roll in Years 6 and 7 at Bellingham Middle School and
Sports College on 31 August 2019 would transfer to Haydon Bridge
High School and join the Year 7 and 8 cohorts or to another school
providing education in those year groups according to parental
preference.
1 September 2020
*
Students on roll in Year 6 in Bellingham Primary on 31 August 2020
would transfer to Haydon Bridge High School as part of the Year 7
cohort.
*
Haydon Bridge High School would reduce the number of intakes into
the school to one only at Year 7 and for each subsequent year. The
Planned Admission Number into the school would be reduced to 120.
Requests for admission into year groups other than Year 7 at the
school would be treated as in-year admissions.
1 September 2021
*
Pupils in Year 6 in the new primary schools in the Haydon Bridge
Partnership on 31 August 2021 would transfer as the new Year 7 to
Haydon Bridge High School and would join other Year 7 pupils
moving from the existing primary schools in the Haydon Bridge
Partnership.
*
However, parents would be able to apply for a place at any other
appropriate school according to parental preference, subject to a
place being available.
Impact on the Community
There would be an impact on the community as a result of this proposal
as educational provision in Years 7 and 8 would be removed from
Bellingham village. However, educational places in Years 7 and 8 for
pupils in these years groups would be provided at Haydon Bridge High
School from September 2019. However, the villages of Kielder,
Greenhaugh, West Woodburn, Otterburn and Wark would retain their
primary age children for an additional two years in Years 5 and 6.
As it is proposed that Bellingham First School would continue within
building it currently shares with the middle school, there would be no
loss of provision to the village in relation to buildings.
Furthermore, it is proposed that the early years provider on the site
of the Bellingham schools would be able to relocate within the main
building, thereby providing an opportunity to enhance provision.
Balance of denominational provision
There would be no impact on the balance of denominational provision
within the Haydon Bridge Partnership as Bellingham Middle School and
Sports College does not have a religious character.
Rural Primary Schools
Bellingham Middle School and Sports College is a middle school, deemed
secondary therefore in the opinion of Northumberland County Council
does not fall within the categorisation of a rural primary school as
set out in Section 15 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006.
Furthermore, the school is not listed on the DfE’s List of Designated
Rural Primary Schools 2017.
Bellingham, Otterburn, Kielder, Greenhaugh, West Woodburn First
Schools and Wark Church of England First School are listed on the
DfE’s List of Designated Rural Primary Schools 2017. However, as the
proposal is for these schools to extend their age range, this policy
area would not be impacted.
Maintained nursery schools
The nursery provision currently provided at the first schools proposed
to extend their age ranges as a result of this statutory proposal
would not be affected by its implementation.
Provision for 16-19 year olds
N/A - There is no provision for students aged 16 to 19 in Bellingham
Middle School.
Special educational provision
Provision for pupils with SEN is already provided at the schools that
are the subject of this Statutory Proposal.
*
There are currently 3 pupils with an Educational Health Care Plan
on roll at Bellingham Middle School and Sports College. Should
this statutory proposal be approved for implementation, the
families of pupils with an EHCP on roll at Bellingham Middle
School who would be displaced by its closure would be consulted
about any specific potential impacts on their child and it would
be ensured that appropriate individual arrangements were made
where this is necessary to avoid potential adverse impacts,
including any reasonable adjustments.
*
There are currently 2 pupils with an Educational Health Care Plan
enrolled at Bellingham First School.
*
There is currently one child with an Educational Health Care Plan
enrolled at Kielder Community First School.
*
There are currently no children with an Educational Health Care
Plan enrolled at Greenhaugh First School.
*
There are currently no children with an Educational Health Care
Plan enrolled at Otterburn First School.
*
There are currently no children with an Educational Health Care
Plan enrolled at West Woodburn First School.
*
There is currently one child with an Educational Health Care Plan
enrolled at Wark Church of England First School.
Continuity for current and future pupils with SEN at the above first
schools would be achieved as a result of the implementation of this
proposal, as pupils would stay longer in their primary schools and
would transfer to the next school phase only once at the end of Year
6, and would stay longer at Haydon Bridge High School.
Travel
*
Transport for all pupils affected by the proposed reorganisation
should it be approved would be arranged in accordance with the
Council’s Home to School Transport Policy.
*
Pupils transferring from Year 4 to Year 5 in September 2019 would
remain in their first schools as the schools reorganise to primary
status. It is envisaged that many pupils in Years 5 and 6 in the
new primary schools would have shorter journeys to schools as they
would be educated for an additional two years in the primary
schools within their local communities.
*
The journeys of pupils in Bellingham Middle School and Sports
College transferring from Year 5 to Year 6 at Bellingham Primary
School (as it would be) would not be impacted as they would remain
in their current location.
*
Some pupils transferring from Years 6 and 7 into Years 7 and 8 at
Haydon Bridge High School in September 2019 and in Years 7 and 8
thereafter would have an extended journey length dependent on
where they reside. Pupils residing more than 3 miles from Haydon
Bridge High School, or where there is no safe walking route to
that school, or who are from low income backgrounds may be
eligible to free Home to School Transport.
*
The longest journey currently undertaken by a secondary age pupil
living in the Haydon Bridge Partnership greater catchment to and
from Haydon Bridge High School is 80 minutes each way, while the
Department for Education’s School Travel and Transport guidance
suggests that students of secondary age (11 upwards), should
travel no more than 75 minutes each way to and from school.
Therefore, it is envisaged that as a result of the implementation
of this proposal, most secondary age students who live in the
Haydon Bridge Partnership greater catchment and who would travel
to and from Haydon Bridge High School would have journeys within
the 75 minutes suggested in the DfE guidance.
*
In any event, transport for displaced pupils would be arranged in
line with the County Council’s Home to School Transport Policy.
*
There would be no anticipated significant increase in car use as a
result of these proposals.
Consultation
All of the applicable statutory requirements to consult on this
proposal in accordance with Section (15(1) of the Education and
Inspections Act 2006 were complied with during the two-phased informal
(pre-publication) consultation period that took place during the
following dates:
*
15 January to 2 February 2018
*
19 February to 9 April 2018
Consultees recommended in the relevant statutory guidance were
consulted via a Consultation Document that was made widely available
on the Council’s website. Consultees included parents, staff, pupils,
Governors of the impacted schools in the Haydon Bridge and Hexham
Partnerships, local parish councils, the Church of England and Roman
Catholic dioceses, early-years providers, the local MP, staff
representatives (unions), neighbouring local authorities and relevant
neighbouring schools in other Northumberland Partnerships or local
authorities. Two public consultation events were also held in Haydon
Bridge (26 February 2018) and Hexham (17 March 2018) which were very
well attended. Individual meetings with staff and the Governing Bodies
of schools that were proposed for closure were undertaken in both
partnerships during Phase 2 of the informal consultation period.
The meetings organised during the two consultation events allowed
consultees attending to the opportunity to make known their views on
the proposals and to suggest alternatives, which were noted and
considered within the analysis of feedback. During the two
consultation exercises, it was made clear that the outcome of the
process would not be determined by the equivalent to a simple
referendum but would involve a detailed analysis of evidence put
forward. A total of 3,023 responses were received from consultees
during the informal consultation process, including additional
information such as business plans and alternative proposals
Details of the persons and parties consulted, the notes of the
Governing Body and staff consultation meetings, and all views and
responses received are summarised in the Executive Director of
Children’s Services Report to Cabinet 8 May 2018, which is available
on the Council’s website at
http://committee.northumberland.gov.uk/Meeting.aspx?MeetID=7797.
