This week's noticeboard contains:

Message from Dr Sue Harrison, Executive Director of Children and Families

Dear colleagues

Welcome back! I hope you’ve enjoyed a restful half-term break. This is always a particularly busy time in our schools, and this year is no exception. With SATs now behind us and the summer exam season in full swing, we know just how much energy and dedication this period demands from everyone.

I want to extend my sincere thanks to all headteachers and school staff for your continued leadership and resilience. Your commitment is making a real difference – ensuring pupils feel supported and that schools continue to run smoothly, even under pressure.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank you for engaging so positively with both the Oracle Transition for Schools and the Equal Pay programmes. Managing these additional responsibilities during an already demanding time is no small feat, and we are incredibly grateful for your continued collaboration and professionalism.

A special thank you as well to Steve Ellis, Deputy Headteacher at Beeches Junior School, for sharing the recent findings from the Sutton Trust’s newly published "Opportunity Index".

This important report analyses six key measures of social mobility, including the proportion of children on free school meals who:

  • Achieve passes in GCSE maths and English
  • Complete a degree by age 22
  • Reach the top 20% of earners by age 28

The findings are both inspiring and a call to action. Remarkably, all of the top 20 constituencies on the index – and 42 of the top 50 – are in London, with Birmingham Perry Barr standing out as the highest-ranked area outside the capital, placing 23rd.

This is a moment to celebrate the resilience, effort, and aspirations of our young people, especially those overcoming barriers to success. Their achievements are a testament not only to their determination but also to the hard work of schools, families, and communities who support them every step of the way.

Let’s continue to champion equity in education and ensure that every child, no matter their background, has the opportunity to thrive.

I hope you enjoy a fabulous weekend. To all our colleagues celebrating Eid-ul-Adha – I wish you a joyful and peaceful celebration.

With my very best wishes

Sue

Equal Pay Programme

Equal Pay Programme Update for Schools where BCC is the Employer

EPP Staffing Update:

We are delighted to welcome Karen Balfour to the Equal Pay Programme as Schools Workstream Senior Project Lead. Karen will be supporting with the planning and delivery of our work with schools and you may well hear from her over the coming weeks!

Proposed Reshaped Pay and Grading Structure

Governing Body Meetings and Decisions

Many thanks to colleagues for your support with seeking Governing Body Approval for BCC’s proposed reshaped pay and grading structure.

If you have sent details of your FGB decision and have raised queries, we will be getting back to you this week and next week with clarifications and meeting dates.

If you have yet to meet or still need to send us the outcome of your meeting, please do update us using this Microsoft Form: Record of Governing Board Decision on BCC Reshaped Pay & Grading            

Please note:  the form initially appears to only have 5 questions but further questions will appear once you have completed the top section!

Implementation Date for Proposed BCC Reshaped Pay & Grading Structure

We are continuing to work constructively with our trade union colleagues to secure collective agreement on introducing the proposed reshaped structure. Unfortunately, this agreement has not yet happened – meaning the reshaped pay and grading structure will not be introduced on 30 May 2025. Therefore, the effective date will be revised – and we’ll let you know what the new date will be once this is known.

In the interim, please continue with FGB meetings as planned.

Pay and Grading Information for Non-Teaching Staff

We have shared a pre-recorded presentation for non-teaching staff in schools where BCC is employer. Additional information will be issued via email next week to respond to frequently asked questions raised by staff and will give individuals some more detailed information on what will happen at the point the reshaped pay and grading is implemented.

Payroll Provider Updates

We are in dialogue with payroll providers and have issued a specification that outlines in detail the changes, in order for them to be able to fulfil school instruction once we have both collective agreement and Governing Body Agreement. A copy of this specification will be sent to Headteachers separately via email.

Our aim is to do all we can to minimise workload for schools, especially given the hard work already being undertaken to make the transition to your new providers. Once we have clarity on individual payroll provider requirements we will be able to update you on next steps.

If you are approached by your payroll provider with queries or concerns, please signpost them to eppschools@birmingham.gov.uk and we will follow up directly with them.

Job Evaluation

School Meetings

As shared through Headteacher Forums, consortia and Headteacher meetings, we are now scheduling small group meetings with Heads and Business Managers / JE Leads to take place before the end of term. Headteachers will  receive an email offering a range of dates and we would be grateful for responses by 12pm Wednesday, 11 June to enable scheduling.

Eid Mubarak

Eid-ul-Adha will begin on Friday, 6 June, which falls during the exam period.

We recognise that this is a time of great religious significance for many pupils and staff. While we extend our warmest wishes to all those celebrating, we would like to remind schools that full attendance for exams remains mandatory, as exam boards do not offer alternative arrangements for religious holidays.

Important Information from Public Health Regarding Measles

What is measles?

Measles cases have been increasing across Birmingham. Measles is a very infectious disease that spreads easily and can lead to serious health complications, particularly for vulnerable individuals, including those who are immunocompromised or pregnant. Outbreaks can happen when not enough people have been immunised. 

To protect your education setting and community from measles, please share this flyer with children and parents so that they know how to stay safe from measles: How to protect yourself and your family from measles flyer

Also, with large gatherings approaching, including upcoming Eid celebrations, please remind parents and children to speak to their GP if they experience any symptoms, as measles spreads easily in group settings. If they do attend a large gathering, please remind them to stay vigilant for symptoms, as most people experience symptoms 10-12 days after contact with the virus.

What are the symptoms of measles?

Measles usually starts with cold-like symptoms. The first symptoms of measles include:

  • a high temperature
  • a runny or blocked nose
  • sneezing
  • a cough
  • red, sore, watery eyes

A rash usually appears a few days after the cold-like symptoms. The rash starts on the face and behind the ears before spreading to the rest of the body. Some people may also get small spots in their mouth, particularly inside the cheeks and on the back of the lips. To learn more about symptoms, visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/measles/.

What should you do if you or someone in your education setting has suspected measles? 

If a pupil develops symptoms in your education setting, urgently ask their parents to contact their GP. Parents must contact the surgery by telephone before visiting and tell the reception staff that they think that their child may have measles. They cannot attend the surgery unless they are asked to. The doctor will make special arrangements to see the child so that if they have measles, they won’t pass it on to others.

If you suspect that someone in your education setting has measles, please contact your UKHSA Health Protection team (HPT). The HPT will do a risk assessment and determine what actions are needed. You can find your UKHSA HPT by visiting https://www.gov.uk/health-protection-team.  

How can you protect yourself and others from measles?

The MMR immunisation is the best way to protect yourself and others against measles because it is:

  • effective 
  • safe
  • free of charge

2 doses of the MMR immunisation are needed to give the best protection against measles. The first dose of the MMR immunisation is normally given soon after the first birthday, and a second dose before starting school, but you can catch-up with missed MMR doses at any age.

Research has shown there is no link between the MMR immunisation and autism.

The MMR immunisation is safe for all faiths and cultures. A pork-free version is available for those who avoid pork products. This immunisation is available at every GP practice, and it is free.

Further information on the MMR immunisation can be found on the NHS website: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/mmr-vaccine/.

Changes to the referral process for provision from James Brindley for children absent through long-term or acute medical and health needs 

In March, we updated schools via the Noticeboard about the introduction of a multi-agency Education Access for Medical Need panel, as outlined in our Section 19 policy. This panel supports a new referral process for schools and health professionals requesting alternative provision for children with acute or long-term medical conditions where the school is currently unable to provide suitable education. 

At that time, we advised that schools could continue to submit new referrals to James Brindley while the local authority panel reviewed all young people with existing open referrals. 

From this week, James Brindley will no longer accept direct referrals. All new referrals must now be submitted via the council's website, in line with our Section 19 policy. However, referrals to James Brindley Dovedale will continue as normal through the SENAR consultation process. 

When submitting a referral, schools will be expected to provide: 

  • Medical evidence
  • The individual pupil’s school medical plan 
  • Attendance information 
  • Evidence of a graduated response 
  • Where applicable, evidence of adaptations made to meet the needs of pupils with SEND 

If the panel determines that provision is required, appropriate support – such as interim tutoring – will be agreed and arranged in partnership with the school. Please note that the panel may conclude that the local authority does not have a duty to provide provision. In such cases, the school will receive guidance on further actions required. 

The council continues to commission places at James Brindley Academy to provide education for children with medical needs, where referrals meet the criteria. Inpatient referrals will continue to be managed directly with the NHS and James Brindley Academy (JBA). However, current referral rates and demand exceed the number of available places. Work is underway to review the sufficiency of provision for the current and upcoming academic years, as part of a broader review of Alternative Provision sufficiency. 

We continue to meet weekly with James Brindley to review all young people with open referrals and those on the waitlist. If you have recently submitted a referral directly to James Brindley, you do not need to resubmit it via the council’s website. We are able to collect these referrals directly from the academy. James Brindley is currently contacting schools and families to offer places for young people on this year’s waitlist, with a view to September starts. 

We are also working with a number of school leaders who volunteered via the School’s Noticeboard in the autumn term to join a working group. This group is helping to shape our Alternative Provision strategy, including sufficiency, governance, data, and workforce development. 

In the coming months, we will be recruiting a new Alternative Provision team. We also plan to host a series of webinars to introduce the team and share updates on the new processes. Thank you to all schools that completed the AP survey in March and April – your responses are playing a key role in shaping this work. 

For any queries or further information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Lisa Smith at lisa.smith@birmingham.gov.uk  

Thank you for your continued support.  

Launch of the Early Years Ordinarily Available Guidance Document (OAG)

Consultation: Hallmoor School

Change to Pupil Admission Number (PAN)

The Board of Trustees of Forward Education Trust (FET) proposes to make a permanent increase in the PAN (Pupil Admission Number) for Hallmoor School to 290 from 1 September 2025. It is proposed to designate 56 places for post-16 (sixth form) within the overall number.

This proposal regularises what has been in place in the current academic year, following recent rises in pupil admissions.

Hallmoor is a well-established school in Birmingham. It is for pupils with an EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) who have a diagnosis of SpLD (specific learning difficulty), SLCN (speech, language and communication), ASD (autism spectrum disorder), PD (physical disability), MLD (moderate learning difficulty) and SLD (severe learning difficulty).

Hallmoor is an all-through school for children aged 4-19, in Key Stages 1 to 5 and fall into National Curriculum Year Groups Reception to 13.

FET proposes that this is effective from 1 September 2025, subject to consultation and confirmation from the Secretary of State for Education. Hallmoor was inspected by Ofsted in December 2023 and was rated a “good” school. 

This proposal has been discussed with Birmingham City Council, and it will positively contribute to access to special school places in the borough.

The consultation opened on 29 May 2025 and will close on 20 June 2025. More information can be found here: https://hallmoor.fet.ac/consultation/

Stormbreak – Mentally Healthy Movement Training for Primary Schools

FAO: Headteachers/SENCos from primary schools

‘Stormbreaks’ are short, psychologically informed movement-based activities combined with guided conversation, that have been developed by experts in education, children’s mental health and those with lived experience. These activities help children to become happier and healthier humans. Through stormbreaks children learn how to recognise, respond to and regulate their emotions, making a difference to their lives by improving outcomes related to resilience, self-care, relationships, self-worth, hope and optimism.

Stormbreak are currently recruiting primary schools from Birmingham to join their Surge training between September and December 2025. Register your interest in the training by Thursday 19th June 2025 by completing this form: Birmingham: Stormbreak Surge Expression of Interest.

Bursaries Available to Train Peer Mediators in Primary Schools

Peacemakers is a small West Midlands based educational charity dedicated to sharing skills and strategies to grow peace in schools and communities.  We have nearly 40 years’ experience equipping pupils and the adults who work with them with the skills, knowledge and attitudes to build peace.  

We’re offering training with significant bursaries to help schools set up a Peer Mediation Plus scheme in Autumn 2025/Spring 2026. Peer mediation is conflict resolution for young people by young people.

  • We offer a workshop for the year group(s) mediators will be selected from, exploring what mediation is.
  • Then 3 full days of training for up to 24 children selected to become mediators. They are trained to mediate disputes that happen in the playground. This means staff spend less time responding to problems that arise and creates a more peaceful school environment. The trained mediators develop skills for life, which ripple through the school.
  • This scheme also includes training for lunchtime and classroom staff about mediation and conflict resolution, in order to ensure maximum success of your scheme.

For more details visit https://peacemakers.org.uk/primary-schools/ or contact Libbs Packer at Libbs@peacemakers.org.uk
