School Organisation, Commissioning and Performance

Introduction

Commissioning and Performance has responsibility for school organisation and pupil place planning that takes place within the Doncaster area, including publicity, consultations and the results of these.

The importance of School Organisation arrangements is crucial to supporting the achievement of effective outcomes for Children and Young People and that resources are focused on children and high quality education and not under-occupied buildings.

There are a number of factors operating within Doncaster that have an impact on school places. This includes school performance and pupil attainment, surplus places, changing population, pupil mobility and the development of academies.
