Impact on support staff in schools
• Pay model gives increase of 4.4% in 2014/15
– 3.3% of increase due to new structure– 1.1% due to role matching
• Small change to salary levels for some large staff groups
• Little impact of allowances (£9k per annum)
• Cost impact at maximum after 3 years, but actual impact will depend on staff turn-over in future years
• Impact differs between schools
16
Pay Protection

DSG 114

Restructuring - Music Service
October 2013
The challenge…
Milton Keynes Council has a cumulative budget gap of £45.1M by 2016/17
One of the agreed areas of saving is the music service and adult education
In total the savings amount to the withdrawal of £665K
Savings are staged: £277K in 2013/14, £288K in 2014/15 and £100K in 2015/16
Many other areas have had to take taken similar action
Milton Keynes Council remains committed to both music and adult education
Meeting the challenge…
Integration of music and adult education
Reduce management and administrative costs Make savings on facilities, supplies and services
New staffing models
Reduce the number of permanent employees – smaller core team
Greater use of self employed tutors
Greater income generation
Fees – full cost recovery Maximising external grant income Additional financial viable services and activities
Current activity
A 45 day staff consultation process started on 26 September. 115 staff have been issued with an ‘at risk letter’
Questions and comments during this period are welcome and can be shared with David Rose on [email protected]
Final business case likely to be approved in November with the slotting in and appointment processes completed by the end of December.
Notice periods will run until March with a target implementation date for the new staffing model in April.
It would be helpful for schools to consider now what they want (if anything) from the music service going forward - for example are there new or changed service offers that would be welcomed.

Admissions
1. Schools to provide us with regular updates on vacancies. A fortnightly email is being sent prompting the completion of a web form.
2. Schools to ensure they are operating in line with their own admissions arrangements, or those of Milton Keynes Council for Community and Voluntary Controlled schools.
(2.21) There is no requirement for local authorities to co-ordinate in-year applications for the offer year 2013/14 and all subsequent years, but they must provide in the composite prospectus how in-year applications can be made and will be dealt with. Local authorities must, on request, provide information to a parent about the places still available in all schools within its area, and a suitable form for parents to complete when applying for a place for their child at any school for which they are not the admission authority. Any parent can apply for a place for their child at any time to any school outside the normal admissions round.
(2.22) Own admission authority schools must, on receipt of an in-year application, notify the local authority of both the application and its outcome, to allow the local authority to keep up to date figures on the availability of places in the area. The admission authority must also inform parents of their right to appeal against the refusal of a place.
In order to enable the system to work and for us to remain compliant with the Admissions Code we need:
