School admission appeals

Appeals data for primary and secondary schools by academic year.

**Please note**

·  There are a number of schools that hear appeals that are not recorded on Leeds City Council's admissions system. These schools do not have an agreement with the authority to handle their appeals, the attached data only shows schools that have agreed for the authority to handle their appeals.

·   From 2017/18 onwards we have indicated if the appeal was **not** granted based on infant class size legislation (not ICSL). For the vast majority of Key Stage 1 appeals the reason for refusal is that to admit the child would breach Infant Class Size Legislation, however, for some schools Infant Class Size Legislation does not apply (primarily because if a child was admitted to these schools the class would not have more than 30 children per teacher). For these schools, the argument against admission is that it would cause prejudice to the school and the children already in attendance if a further child were to be admitted. For appeals granted which state (not ICSL) the parent was able to evidence that admitting their child to the school would not cause prejudice to the school. Parents and carers can access further information on infant class size appeals on our website at [www.leeds.gov.uk](https://www.leeds.gov.uk/residents/children-families-and-carers/schools-and-learning/school-places/admissions-appeals).

Fareshare in Leeds

Before Covid-19, FareShare UK regularly distributed surplus food to third sector organisations across Leeds from their warehouses in Barnsley and Beeston.

Once lockdown measures began in the w/c 16 March, Leeds City Council opened a larger warehouse in Leeds to provide space to store more food and arrange emergency food delivery and distribution withing social distance guidelines

The Leeds Warehouse was established as a response to Covid-19 and receives food from Fareshare in Barnsley and Beeston and is an indication of the amount of food being delivered in the Council's joint and partnership response to Emergency Food Provision during the pandemic.

The total amount of food to Leeds is all the Food being delivered to Leeds by FareShare. This figure includes food to the Leeds Warehouse and food to third sector organisations such as food banks, soup kitchens, and charities.

From 15/07/20 the data was changed to being recorded on a fortnightly instead of weekly basis.

NB The large Leeds Warehouse was wound down from 1st Sept, after which point a smaller warehouse was set up to make up food parcels as part of the post lockdown emergency support service. From this date the report shows food being delivered to third sector organisations and is reported on an adhoc basis.

Fixed Penalty Notices (FPN)

This dataset shows where fixed penalty notices have been issued by Leeds City Council. It shows the amount of fine issued, how much was paid or whether it was cancelled.

Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) are served when offenders fail to comply with a notice that has been served, e.g. waste in gardens, fly-tipping, littering, dog fouling etc. Fines are either served on the spot or by post.

Column heading descriptions
---------------------------

*   FPN SERVED: Date when the FPN was first issued
*   SRRECTYPE: Code for the description (below)
*   SR TYPE DESC: Description of the Fixed Penalty Notice
*   FPN TYPE: Code which highlights the piece of legislation which the FPN relates to (see Legislation table)
*   TYPE DESC: Description of the piece of legislation that the FPN has been raised against (see Legislation table)
*   WARD: Council ward where the FPN was issued
*   PC: Postcode sector where the FPN was issued
*   FINE_DUE: The value of the FPN (see Discounts table)
*   FPN PAID: The actual value of the FPN paid (see Discounts table)
*   FPN PAID DATE: Date when the FPN was paid (see Discounts table)
*   PROSECUTION: Whether a court case has been launched as a result of non-payment
*   FPN CANCELLED: If agreed, date when the FPN was cancelled

Please note
-----------

*   Some records use the Unique Property Reference Number (UPRN) to locate the ward. In a small number of cases this can result in the wrong ward being reported. This only occurs in relation to Service Requests on streets where the street UPRN is located in a different ward. This is not the case where Service Requests are made for a specific buildings. It should be noted that the number of these cases is very small and it is felt that as there will be discrepancies across all wards, the data still provides a balanced picture.
*   Where occurrences of fly tipping occur on land, e.g. in the middle of a field, a ward code may not be available due to the way the information has been historically recorded. 

Other information
-----------------

*   **Discounts:** These are available to encourage people to pay promptly within 10 days. After this time the full amount is due, but all fines have to be paid within 14 days. On some fines no discount can be offered. See the Discounts table for more information.
*   **Prosecutions: **If the fines are not paid after 14 days, a reminder letter is normally sent out (which is not a statutory requirement, but a service provided by Leeds City Council). Deferred payments for people on certain benefits who may need longer to pay the fines are also offered, but proof needs to be provided first. After a reminder is sent, if the payment is not made, a case for prosecution is then prepared and the details are passed over to the council’s Legal team.

Automated dataset

My Health My School Survey

The ‘My Health, My School’ (MHMS)  annual school survey is a free pupil survey available for pupils in Years 5, 6, 7, 9 and 11 as well as for pupils attending any of our Specialist Inclusive Learning Centres (SILCs) and post-16 settings in Leeds. The survey gathers important pupil perception data and measures health behaviours contributing to school improvement by providing instant data for schools across a range of key areas including Healthy Eating, Physical Activity, PE and Sport, Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco, Sexual Health, Social, Emotional and Mental Health, Safety and Anti-bullying.

As a direct result of the Coronavirus pandemic, and subsequent school closures on 20 th March 2020, the number of survey responses for 2019-20 was significantly reduced. A total of 5,307 responses were received from 37 Primary schools, 9 Secondary schools; 1 SILC and 9 Post-16 departments as well as Leeds City College

Where there are blank sections in the data it is because those questions have not been asked to those year groups.

Brownfield land register

Leeds  City Council was selected as a pilot authority  for the Government's brownfield land register project to help lead the way in bringing forward previously developed land for new homes.

The Council worked with the Department for Communities and Local Government to help inform guidance on the operation of the brownfield registers. The registers will help house builders identify suitable sites quickly, speeding up the construction of new homes. The government has pledged to get planning permission in place on 90% of suitable brownfield sites for housing. To help achieve this goal, the government is to enable ‘permission in principle’ to be granted for housing-led development sites listed on new brownfield registers as part of the recent Housing and Planning Act 2016.

The Council will have the final say on which sites are on the register and which sites will have permission in principle. When deciding on which sites to include in the register, the Council will consider the housing growth ambitions of the Core Strategy and Site Allocations Plan. 

 As part of pilot project, the Council put together a register of suitable sites with a total capacity of over 30,000 new homes sourced from the Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). The new formal requirement is for the register  to be kept in two parts.  The Council has produced a formal Part 1 register and the accompanying map of sites is published before the annual 31 December deadline, this will be reviewed at least once a year. The map of sites is hosted  [**here**](https://leedscc.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=612532561dc547fa93e683a5fca73079) **.**

Part 2 allows the Council to select sites from Part 1 and grant Permission in Principle (PIP) for housing-led development, after undertaking necessary requirements for publicity, notification and consultation. Entry onto Part 1 of the register does not guarantee that this site will progress onto Part 2 of the register or receive planning permission. Preparatory work on Part 2 commenced in 2018 and will continue in early 2019.

The Council is welcoming comments from the public on the sites included in the register and asking landowners to put forward sites for consideration in the future register. The sites must be previously developed and able to accommodate 5 or more dwellings or be at least 0.25 hectares in size.

If you would like to submit a site to the next register that you think could be developed for housing, please send details of the location and availability of the site including an outline plan to  [brownfieldlandregister@leeds.gov.uk](mailto:brownfieldlandregister@leeds.gov.uk) .

Annual Travel to Work Survey

The Leeds City Council Annual Travel to Work Survey 2020 ran between 15th October and 15th November 2020. The survey was moved from its traditional spring timeframe as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and related lockdowns. As with previous years the survey ran via iTrace utilising the established database of businesses, organisations and schools. To reflect the substantial changes the pandemic has had on businesses across the city, the survey included questions to gauge how mode of travel has changed from Pre-Covid times to current arrangements. The survey also included a series of questions related to car parking.

The survey received 8738 responses, made up of 4653 business responses, 2935 Leeds City Council employees and 1411 from schools. The number of responses is substantially lower than previous years. A number of businesses remain closed, and although the survey was launched when a tiered system was in place, a national lockdown was announced on 31st October with all non-essential activities curtailed.
