Birmingham City Council carries out school place planning and is responsible for providing forecasts and a strategy that supports the city's residents and schools. Ensuring sufficient schools and school places for children receiving state-funded education in Birmingham is a key city council duty. Currently school place planning forecasts are carried out at planning area level; with 40 areas for primary (Reception to Year 6) and 10 areas for secondary (Year 7 to 13). However, with a growing school estate, 87 different admission authorities and a changing school population, it has become critically important to extend our capability to include pupil forecasts for individual schools. Part A - Forecasting A robust and transparent forecasting model and methodology to provide pupil forecasts for individual schools for each year group for the next 5 years, school planning areas in accordance with SCAP requirements, and other geographical areas as required. This will be used to as part of our annual SCAP submission return in July 2020. A model that allows for scenarios to be considered with associated place planning e.g. changes in migration. An agreed format of forecasting reports to be used with all stakeholders. Part B - Pupil Yield The key outcome of this commission is to establish a robust evidence for pupil yield (Pupil Product ratio) that can be applied to forecasts and developer contribution calculations. This contract will be for a period of up to 12 months commencing April 2020.
