14. Why?  Things change  Feedback from you, schools, external providers;  The desire for better relationships with schools;  The size of the service v value of what we do;  The fact that we will be able to find savings ourselves;  To allow us to focus on delivery. 14

15. Check point two 15

16. In House Learning Model To deliver the County Councils lifelong learning and skills aspirations, the model will:  Deliver statutory and strategic duties  Support the Cabinets Start of Life and Economy priorities  Provide strategic leadership and engagement with stakeholders  Clarify what type of service schools, parents and pupils will receive  Facilitate partnership working  Minimise bureaucracy  Achieve savings 16

17. In House Structure Four groups of functions: Business Skills and Enterprise Aligns work with schools, colleges, training providers School Improvement Monitors performance in all settings and challenges in maintained schools Pupil Entitlement Brings together the functions of the LA relating to individual pupils Statutory and Strategic Compliance Provides Service coordination, relationship management, and specialist/ cross service and corporate functions 17

19. School Feedback We have built on the feedback previously received from stakeholder meetings and the school survey What adds value:  A strategic partnership and sharing best practise  Clarity on what type of support will be available from the LA  A joined up service and flexible approach 19

20. Clarity around the service  What changes are happening and when  Delivery of statutory duties  What can maintained schools and academies expect  What services will stop  How can things be done better?  How can the principles of commissioning be applied…? 20

21. The Approach  Acknowledgement /clarification of joint key drivers – academies and funding  Working with stakeholders to shape the service and make it sustainable  Reducing the internal barriers to better outcomes  Horses for courses – If the LA is not the best provider of a service what are the choices available to schools and what will be the role of the LA? 21

22. Things we are considering  Are we clear on our future role in all educational settings – could we write SLA’s  Is our model right  Do we have the people with the necessary skills  What is the best way to communicate with the mixed audience of schools  How can the LA influence academies and sponsors  What will we stop doing  Are we going to trade more than we do currently  If funding reduces further, how will our model adapt  What do we have to do to make ourselves relevant to the future council structure  What are the other agendas we need to be influencing/delivering 22

23. Next steps  Near the end of June: –Define how Learning relates to schools, and wider Council teams –Considered further the functions required and the ways they’ll work –Clarify how staff, schools and stakeholders will be kept informed 23

24. Next Steps  Near the end of July: –Evaluate the roles required to undertake the functions required 24
