consider if they wish to review the decision to treat St Mungo and Mouswald

4.2 will ensure that future strategic investment decisions are based on up to date Condition information:

note that a programme of Condition Surveys has now been instructed, which

4.3 On the basis that they wish to proceed, agree:-

that Option 1 - Do Nothing, Option 2 - Refurbish as existing and Option 5 - Closure, should not be considered further;

not to provide specific community facilities within each school, as outlined at para 11.3.2, but note that the schools will be available for use by the community under the School Lets policy and the tutorial/library/resource room will be a bookable resource for community planning partners;

that the new schools should not include an extended hall and a MUGA, as outlined at para 11.4.3;

the proposed accommodation schedules for the three schools (Appendix 1 and 2);

that in respect of Mouswald Primary School, Option 4 - New Build on Extended Site is the preferred option, at an estimated cost o f f 1.460M, excluding land purchase and potential capital receipt, on the assumption that the required land can be purchased;

that in respect of St Mungo Primary School, Option 4 - New Build on Extended Site, is the preferred option, at an estimated cost of f 1.439M, excluding land purchase and potential capital receipt, on the assumption that the required land can be purchased;

that in respect of Beattock Primary School, Option 4 - New Build on Existing Site is the preferred option, at an estimated cost of f2.052M;

that a bid for additional funding, amounting to f 3.451 M, is submitted to the Corporate Policy Committee:

that the specification for each school should include a requirement for a BREAM rating ‘very good’, in line with the 2A schools.

6. ResourcesNalue for Money Assessment 6.1 capital resources to improve the school estate.

The proposals within this report are designed to make best use of available

6.2 three new builds, excluding site purchases and potential capital receipts. The total average projected roll for these 3 schools over the next 6 years, as advised to Members in August 2008, is 108. This equates to f46k per pupil. As a comparison, the current estimated Total Outturn Cost of the three 2A schools is f 16, l l Ok and, based on the total current rolls, this equates to f28k per pupil. However, it should be noted that the price base for the three schools is 2009, compared with a 2007 price base for the 2A schools.

The recommendations in this report would cost approximately f4,951 k for

6.3 environmental performance of schools from design through to management. This method entails the environmental assessment of buildings against performance criteria set by BRE, awarding ‘credits’ based on building’s individual performance. The recommendation in this report is that the three new schools should have a BREEAM rating of “Very Good”, which is performance that reflects industry best practice. This would add to the initial capital cost but would result in not only more environmentally friendly buildings, with a reduced carbon footprint, but also reduced running costs, over the whole life of the asset.

BREEAM for Schools is a comprehensive tool for analysing and improving the

7. Risk Assessment 7.1 needs, in terms of fitness for purpose, delivery on time or on budget. To mitigate against this risk, all major school estate projects are designed having regard to ‘strategic hooks’ which are kept under review during the design stage and, in addition, flexibility is promoted within each design.

There is a risk in any project that the final product may not meet the service

In August, Members agreed to carry forward f 1.5M from the 2008/09 capital funds available and earmark this as a contribution to the costs of these three schools. If Members agree the recommendations in this report, a bid for the balance of funding, amounting to f 3,451 K, will require to be submitted to the Corporate Policy Committee. This amount does not include site acquisition costs or potential capital receipts.

8. Authorities and Legal Implications The Standards in Scotland’s Schools Act 2000 imposes a statutory duty on all Education authorities to seek continuous improvement in all aspects of education provision. This includes the school estate.

9. Consultations 9.1 the report -

The following have been consulted and are in agreement with the contents of

Executive Director - Community and Support Services Corporate Director - Combined Services Corporate Director - Planning and Environment Services Group Manager - Community Services Group Manager - Policy and Improvement Acting Director of Finance Operations Manager - Leisure and Sport Interim Operations Manager - Property Services Project Manager - Smarter Schools Group Manager Human Resources Members of the School Services Senior Management Team

9.2 have raised a concern regarding the staffing implications of the policy which has been adopted in relation to the PPP and 2A schools and recent capital refurbishments. This has resulted in the conversion of production kitchens to serveries, in appropriate situations. Unions have expressed concern at the potential job and grade implications of “de-skilling” the workforce.

10. Background 10.1 In March 2008, Members received a report which summarised the KPI data for each school. This advised that the only three schools with a Condition Rating ‘D’ were Beattock, St Mungo and Mouswald Primary Schools. As a result, it was agreed that these schools should be strategic investment priorities.

Report Education Committee 30 September 2008 4

School Mouswald St Mungo Beattock

10.2 In June, 2008, Members agreed a provisional timetable which proposed that, funding permitting, projects to rebuild or refurbish these 3 schools could be completed in time for the start of the 201 1/12 academic year.

10.3 In August 2008, Members agreed that the Option Appraisals for Mouswald, Beattock and St Mungo Primary Schools would be based on the following school sizes:

Beattock Primary School - 3 class bases St Mungo Primary School - 2 class bases Mouswald Primary School - 2 class bases

10.4 Members further agreed to receive a report in September outlining the options available.

11. 1 1.1 Condition Surveys 11 .I .I As a result of these three schools being identified as strategic investment priorities, based on them having a Condition rating ‘D’ in the March 2008 report, a further condition survey was instructed to update the information available. This confirmed the position in relation to Beattock Primary School but amended the condition rating for the other two schools to C. It should be noted that the Condition Survey specification does not allow for certain health and safety issues to be taken into account, as they did not relate wholly to condition.

Key Issues - Option Appraisal

11 .I .2 The March report highlighted to Members that the condition information provided was based on surveys undertaken in 2002, as part of the preparation for PPP. It further advised that, ideally, such surveys should be repeated every 5 years but this had not been possible due to a lack of available funding, In response to this concern, Members have agreed that service reserves should be earmarked to carry out a programme of condition surveys.

I 1 .I .3 Members should consider if the amended condition ratings for St Mungo and Mouswald should result in their priority being revised. The Option Appraisal exercise that follows considers each school in turn. The additional information in respect of these two schools may assist in the consideration of their continued priority. This does highlight that both these school buildings fall considerably short of the SEMP Educational Objectives, with concerns in a number of other KPI areas, and that there is still a proven need to invest in these schools

11.2 The option appraisal process followed has regard to the Scottish Executive’s Option Appraisal - Building Our Future: Scotland’s School Estate document.

11.3 Service Objectives The first consideration of the appraisal process is to define the service objectives. These are split into educational and community objectives.

Report Education Committee 30 September 2008

Main General Purpose hall, suitable for a range of community recreational activities (minimum 1 badminton court size)

11.3.1 Educational Obiectives The vision and purpose of Education in Dumfries and Galloway is to raise levels of attainment, achievement and participation through encouraging innovation and creativity, collaboration and a culture of sharing and learning. As many of the schools in this authority are generally smaller than average, we should celebrate the benefits and encourage innovation to overcome the curricular challenges.

1 75m2

The objectives are to: > Provide sufficient new or modernised accommodation suitable for the

effective delivery of A Curriculum for Excellence.

Option 1 - Do Nothing

> Provide a building that is flexible and capable of adaptation to suit either physical or curricular changes.

The SEMP aims to improve all schools to a minimum of Category B on the Condition KPI. This option would mean that the buildings would continue to fall considerable short, in relation to the educational objectives.

> In respect of the SPI for ‘Condition’, remove all Category D rated properties from the School Estate and achieve Category B, as a minimum.

11.3.2 Communitv Obiectives

1 1.3.2.1 The approved recommendations from the Community Facilities Challenge state that, where the population is below 500, the provision of the following facilities should be available within a 10 mile radius.

Base Standard

These facilities are available for each of the communities concerned as follows:

0 Mouswald (with a population of 199) - Dumfries St Mungo (Kettleholm with a population of 178) - Lockerbie Beattock (with a population of 355) - Moffat

11.3.2.2 In light of the above, it is recommended that the requirement for specific community facilities should be discounted from the options appraisal process. Nonetheless, the schools will be available for use by the community under the School Lets policy. In addition, the tutorial/library/resource room could also be a bookable resource for community partners, such as the Health Board and Social Work Services.

11.4 Project Options 11.4.1 Five project options are outlined in the table below:

Option 2 - Refurbish as Existing

Option 3 - Refurbish and Extend - Base Line Case.

Option 4 - New Build on Same/Extended/New Site Option 5 - Closure and transfer to another school.

However, this option may be considered appropriate in the light of the revised Condition Survey information for St Mungo and Mouswald

This is the ‘do minimum option’ involving upgrading of the existing accommodation to address the maintenance and repair needs, as detailed in the June 2008 Condition Surveys only, with no consideration of accommodation and adjacency requirements and the SEMP Educational Objectives. This option is not explored further since the resultant building would not meet the overall SE M P educational objectives Refurbish the existing school and extend to meet the SEMP Educational Objectives. It provides for some improvements but, due to the constraints of the existing buildings, compromises are inevitable. Complete new build, meeting the SEMP Educational Objectives standard and addressing known site concerns. Closure of the existing school and relocation to a nearby school. This may require some alterations and extension to the receiving school. The ECS Committee agreed in March 2008 that no further Small School Reviews be undertaken until the proposed legislation in relation to rural schools is in place. The Scottish Government is currently carrying out a consultation on this issue. In the light of the above, this option is not explored further.

The above table establishes that the project options that are considered further are limited to

Option 1 - Do Nothing for St Mungo and Mouswald, due the new Condition Survey information Option 3 - Refurbish and Extend Option 4 - New Build on Same/Extended/New Site

11.4.2 An initial meeting has been held with the Head Teachers of all three schools to discuss the requirements for a new school, which would meet the SEMP Educational Objectives. Appendices 1 and 2 provides a comparison between the current and proposed accommodation, as summarised below -

11.4.3 The above proposed areas do not include provision for a larger hall, as recommended by Sports Scotland for schools, and the provision of a MUGA at each location. The larger hall would provide sufficient space for two courts and a MUGA would ensure that pupils can enjoy year round sports facilities outdoors. The additional estimated cost of adding the required 75m2 to the hall is f 112K and a MUGA would be f 180k per school. In view of the proximity of each of these schools to alternative provision, both larger halls and MUGA’s, this report recommends that the specifications should not include these additional aspects.

11 5.1.2 Mouswald Primary School was built in 1866 on a site area of 0.4 Hectares. Subsequent alterations and extensions to the building were undertaken during the 1970’s and 1980’s. Externally the school site consists of tarmacadam surfaces to the playground and car parking area and a grassed sports field to the rear. The existing access route consists of a narrow right of way across neighbouring land.

11 5.1.3 Although the current site is sufficient, it is not level and therefore presents a number of practical issues. The proposed size of the new school is 265m2 larger than the existing building - i.e. 191 m2 to 456m2

11 5.2 Option 1 - Do Nothing This option should be considered in this case in view of the revised grading given in the recent Condition Survey.

11 5.3 Option 3 - Refurbish and Extend 0 This would involve a complete refurbishment of the existing school and an

extension to meet the SEMP Educational Objectives, as detailed in the proposed accommodation schedules (Appendix 1).

0 It should be noted that this is a compromise solution as indicated in para 11.4.1. The construction method of the existing building is solid sandstone with lathe and plaster and this, together with the current layout and the age of the building, means that it does not lend itself to being easily extended. The estimated cost of this option is f 1,487K as detailed in Appendix 3

Educational objectives still compromised in older part of school, in particular . Whole life costs more expensive than new build option . Very Good BREAM rating would not be achieved due to remaining poor insulation in the external walls.

11 5 .4 Option 4 - New build on extended site This would involve building a new school on the same or an extended site and the potential for disposal or demolition of the existing school. No alternative sites have been identified and planning restrictions prohibit ribbon development. The possibility of relocating the school to a new site within Mouswald village or another greenfield site on the main road were considered as part of “informal discussions” with the Planning Officer for this area but were considered to be difficult to justify. Works within the same or an extended site were considered acceptable in timescale, cost and planning terms. The local land owner has agreed that initial site investigations can be carried out with a view to potential purchase. The expectation is that these investigations will confirm that this area is suitable for building. The total outturn cost (excluding land acquisition and possible capital receipt) for a new build at this school is f 1,460k.

11.6.1.2 St Mungo Primary School was originally built as a church circa 1800 using traditional building methods and materials. The building was converted to a school in the 1870’s. Toilet wings were added in the 1970’s. The building is a Category C(S) listed building. The school site has an area of 0.38 Hectare and extends back from the 8723 Public Road. It consists of vehicular access and parking areas at the front (access to an adjoining private house is via this area). Beyond this sits the school building, centrally located between two hard surfaced play areas. This includes a substantial open shelter and the remains of the original outdoor toilets are located to the rear of the school. In addition, a detached building contains the school’s central heating fuel storage tanks. Behind the school there is a grassed playing field, which is in leasehold.

11.6.1.3 The current site is sufficient but it is not level and presents a number of practical issues. The existing school is Grade C(S) listed building -this limits the potential for physical alteration. The following planning factors require to be taken into consideration:

11.6.4 Option 4 - New build on extended or new site If Members wish to consider this option there are 2 alternative locations for a new school.

There is currently a lease agreement in place with Castlemilk Estate for part of a field at the rear of the school, at present being used as the school playing field. If additional land could be made available and a clear title secured, the new school could be situated here. There are some site access issues that remain to be resolved. A site has been identified near the village hall and tennis courts. These facilities are at present used by the school but distance restricts use. This ground is also owned by the Castlemilk Estate. However, initial desktop investigations indicate that this site may be in the local flood plain. Investigations are ongoing. In light of the above, the option to build a new school on an extended site is the preferred option. The estimated total outturn figure for this option is f 1,439k

11.7.2.3 The current site is sufficient for the proposed accommodation and it does not present any particular difficulties in relation to access or ground conditions. However, the main elements of the building fabric and services infrastructure are in poor condition. The roposed size of the new school is 31 % larger than the existing building - i.e. 532m increasing to 698m2. ;p.

11.7.3 Option 3 - Refurbish and Extend This would involve a complete refurbishment of the existing school and an extension to meet the SEMP Educational Objectives, as detailed in the accommodation schedules (Appendix 2). Due to the aforementioned fundamental fabric and infrastructure condition issues, this option is not feasible. It is therefore not given further consideration.
