31. Executive Summary
1a. Demographic
The Hall Cross pyramid is located in the central area of Doncaster and consists of 12% of the Doncaster population.
Within this pyramid 72% of the children are White British, the other 33% are made up of other nationalities, the next largest group
being any other white background’ which is Polish, Kurdish, Turkish and Czech.
In 2010 the Hall Cross pyramid had an IMD of 32.70% and was the 11th most deprived area in Doncaster, 2015 data shows that the
Hall Cross IMD has increased to 34.80% however it remains the 11th most deprived area in Doncaster. The Hall Cross pyramid is
consistently lower than the Doncaster average.
Birth rates for Hall Cross have increased in recent years.
Within Hall Cross pyramid 21% of primary pupils and 19% of secondary pupils have EAL, the most common first language other
than English locally is Urdu and then Polish in the primary schools and Polish and then Urdu in secondary.
74% of primary children in Hall Cross access school places outside of their catchment school, 1% of these were out of pyramid.
48% of secondary children access outside of their catchment school, of which 57% moved to faith schools.
There are a number of planned housing developments, totalling 2709 dwellings coming to the Hall Cross area over the next few
years.
The Hall Cross pyramid consists of a range of learning provision types from the school / academy and PVI sector offering a mix of
flexible provision.
1b. Schools
There are ten schools in Hall Cross, five of these have converted to academy status, three remain maintained schools and there
are two free schools, XP and XP East.
There is a program of capital and S106 investment in Doncaster. Within this pyramid three schools have accessed funding.
Across Doncaster there are a number of sites identified for LOCYP. One site is available in the Hall Cross pyramid.
4Within this pyramid pupil absence rates in primary schools have remained fairly static; however secondary absence rates have
been quite unstable.
Primary school sector projections for the next five years show an emerging shortfall of places in south Hall Cross with sufficient
places remaining available in north Hall Cross. Secondary data shows that Hall Cross has significant shortfalls moving forwards,
however in contrast neighbouring Outwood Danum has surplus places throughout. When looking at the two localities as a cluster
there remains a shortfall in 2021/22.
1c. Childcare and Early Years
Childcare places are based on summer term as this shows the highest occupancy throughout the year. In summer 2018 there were
vacant places in all provision types, including provisions that cover weekends and shift patterns.
Based on current birth rates and average take up over previous terms Hall Cross projections show that there is a potential for a
shortfall of childcare places for children aged between 11 to 14 years.
In this pyramid Childminder costs are lower than the Doncaster and Yorkshire and Humber averages; however Full Day-care is
higher than the Doncaster average but significantly lower than Yorkshire and Humber average. Breakfast and afterschool clubs are
higher than the Doncaster average and holiday play scheme averages are significantly higher than the Doncaster and Yorkshire and
Humber average. Doncaster as a borough remains below the Yorkshire and Humber average.
The take up of 2 year old early education funding borough wide was 80% in Autumn 2017, 75% in Spring 2018 and 80% in
Summer 2018.
The take up of the 3 and 4 year old universal provision borough wide was 92% in Autumn 2017, 98% in Spring 2018 and 98% in
Summer 2018.
The take up of the 30 hours extended entitlement borough wide was 78% in Autumn 2017, 79% in Spring 2018 and 76% in
Summer 2018.
There are no identified concerns from families in the Hall Cross area highlighting shortfalls in provision for Spring term 2018.
51d. SEND
Within this pyramid is St Wilfrid’s, a Pupil Referral Unit.
1e. Key Points
Based on current birth rates, projections for this area show that over the next five years in the primary sector there is an emerging
shortfall of places in south Hall Cross but sufficient places remaining available in north Hall Cross. However in secondary there is
an increasing shortfall of places across all year groups. There are no identified childcare concerns in the Hall Cross area.
62. The Pyramid in Context
2a. Overview
The data within this report aims to provide an overview of the Hall Cross pyramid, the available learning provision within the
pyramid and identify any pressures or shortfalls which will form part of the borough wide Learning Provision Organisation Strategy.
The first section gives an overview of the dynamics of the area and then moves onto analysis of pupil place provision.
2b. Demographics and Population
Doncaster is an ambitious borough and very few places in the UK come close to us in terms of delivering major projects over the
last 10 years. These projects are world class and have changed Doncaster considerably, with several more multi-million pound
developments already underway and in the pipeline.
Landmark developments include:
The Great Yorkshire Way Project (FARRS)
iPort
Aero Centre, Yorkshire
Project Unity (DN7)
National Rail College
Institute of Technology
PGA European Tour Development at Rossington Hall
Doncaster Corn Exchange Restoration
Bader School
DUTC
Big Picture Learning
The Urban Centre Master Plan including; City Gateway, Enterprise Market Place, Waterfront, Minster Canal Side, Civic/Business
District, Parklands, Retail Core, Innovation Quarter, Waterfront Phase 2.
72c. Pyramid Profile
The catchment area for Hall Cross Academy is children living in the central area of Doncaster which includes Hyde Park, Belle Vue,
Lakeside, Cantley and Bessacarr.
The town centre is Doncaster’s central business district, a major sub-regional shopping centre and the place of employment for
tens of thousands of people. Home to the North’s biggest traditional market, the inspiring minster, Mansion House, theatres,
museums and leisure facilities, there are significant new developments such as the transport interchange with regular train services
to London and Edinburgh, there is the Hub (Doncaster College), the Doncaster Keepmoat is home to Doncaster Rovers Football
Club, Doncaster Rugby League FC, and Doncaster Rovers Belles. Weddings, conferences, exhibitions and concerts can all be held
in this 15’000 capacity stadium. A mini stadium at the side containing a six lane running track is home to Doncaster Athletics Club
and the local American football team. At the moment Doncaster is building on previous successes and has set out a new
framework for the development of the town centre, the urban centre master plan, key projects are; City Gateway, Enterprise Market
Place, Waterfront, Minster Canal Side, Civic/Business District, Parklands, Retail Core, Innovation Quarter and phase 2 of the
Waterfront.
Hyde Park is a defined area within Doncaster’s Central area. The area extends east and includes the majority of the housing that
lies south of Carr House Road; it also includes Elmfield Park.
Bessacarr is mainly an affluent and prospering suburb with fewer children and young people and more people aged over 50
compared with the Doncaster average.
Cantley has a high population of older residents aged over 70 compared with the Doncaster average. The picturesque village of
Old Cantley is placed alongside Cantley and is classed as countryside living. Old Cantley has a smaller population with a low
proportion of children and young adults under 35.
Lakeside The Lakeside district is one of Doncaster’s flagship development areas, encompassing the recently re-developed world
famous ‘Doncaster Racecourse’, the new National College for High Speed Rail, the Dome leisure complex, the impressive
Keepmoat Stadium and the popular Lakeside Village Outlet Shopping Centre. A relatively affluent district, Lakeside provides
Doncaster with an array of stylish modern apartments and new high quality family homes in an attractive waterside setting.
82d. Ethnicity and Migration

143a. Locality of Provision
To help to visualise the local provision the map below shows the geographical location of each provision from both the School /
Academy and PVI Sector. The exception is that childminders are not plotted. Although they work to the same Ofsted standards as
all childcare provision they operate from their home address and therefore are summarised within the key. The pyramid is 5.7
square miles in size.
153b. Academy Conversions
There has been a drive in recent years for schools to convert to academy status. Academies are independent, state-funded
schools, which receive their funding directly from central government, rather than through the local authority.
In Doncaster 54% of schools have converted to academies. This includes all of our secondary schools.
In Hall Cross pyramid 5 schools are converted to academies and 2 are free schools. The remaining maintained schools are
Hawthorn Primary School, Lakeside Primary School and St Peters Catholic Primary School.

4a. Housing Growth and S106 Contributions
The annual SCAP return to the DfE requires each local authority to aggregate birth and housing growth data into pupil yields and
pupil projections alongside actual pupil numbers. The birth and housing data can, for interested parties, be shown separately. The
following represents this combined data for the Hall Cross area from the 2017 SCAP return.
The housing element projects the number of additional children from the proposed developments using this formula:
4 to 10 year old children (Year groups R to 6) = 21 children (3 per year group) per 100 planned dwellings
11 to 16 year old children (Year groups 7 to 11) = 15 children (3 per year group) per 100 planned dwellings

264b. Locality of Development Sites
The map below shows the locality of the potential development sites within the pyramid with 90 plus dwellings.
275. Schools Capacity (SCAP)
Below are the projected school places which were submitted in the 2018 SCAP survey. Primary Places are projected for 5 years
including the current year due to the children starting school at 5 years, and secondary places are projected beyond this point due to
the age of the children. The row titled CAP shows the capacity within each year group. Where cells are highlighted red, this is due to
the projected capacity exceeding the actual places available. The Hall Cross pyramid is geographically disjointed with some
provision incapable of supporting other areas, for clarity of data we have split the below information into North and South Hall Cross.
The data is based on the Autumn 2017 census.

375i. Childcare Projections
This table below measures the birth rates of children to anticipate the future projected need for childcare places within this pyramid.
This data shows the anticipated projected place requirements for the spring and summer 2018 terms. This information is displayed
using a red, amber, green (RAG rating)
Green depicts sufficient available places
Amber depicts the potential for a shortfall of places if demand increases
Red shows an identified need where supply does not meet local demand.

Hall Cross projections show that there is a potential for a shortfall of places for children aged between 11 to 14 years. This supports
the outcome of the gap analysis where more flexibility in provision is required around childcare provision after 6pm and on
weekends. We will continue to monitor this over the coming terms. On a borough wide basis early indications of birth vs previous
occupancy rates show that there are a sufficient number of places available for all ages in Spring 2018.

A new special school for communication and interaction special educational needs is to be established in Doncaster.
The school will primarily be for children and young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, specifically high functioning ASD and
Asperger’s. This cohort may also have social, emotional and mental health needs and specific learning difficulties.
Working with the Department for Education, the new school is envisaged to be on the Hungerhill Enterprise Park site. This school
would have places for 100 children and young people, 80 of which would be filled by the council, with the remaining 20 offered to
neighbouring authorities.
The school will be closely associated with another secondary school to enable pupils to access a mainstream curriculum where this
is appropriate. The development will take place as part of the programme creating 1,600 new special free school places across
England, made up of a total of 19 new schools.
415l. Childcare Costs
The average costs are indicated across the different Ofsted registered childcare types in the table below. As the opening times for
day nurseries and childminders can vary, the weekly costs are based on average opening hours of 8am to 6pm. Breakfast and
after-school are grouped within ‘out of school’ costs in line with the Yorkshire and Humber format to allow an easy comparison. This
table shows the average costs of childcare for this pyramid in comparison to borough wide and Yorkshire and Humber averages.

466d. Future Plans
We anticipate an increase in take up over the coming terms. As part of our sufficiency strategy we have applied a methodology to
predict future place needs. The following table shows the pyramid demand by term with potential maximum vs. minimum take up
and any potential shortfall of places. This data is based on the combined need for places for both 30 hours and universal
entitlement.
This information is displayed using a red, amber, green (RAG rating)
Green depicts sufficient available places
Amber depicts the potential for a shortfall of places if demand increases
Red shows an identified need where supply does not meet local demand.
