School Funding
Arrangements 2020-21
|
|
|
Schools Forum
considered and agreed the specific funding arrangements from April
2020 as detailed within the report which was presented by Gwyneth
Evans.
Regarding the split site, Mark Rogers had a
concern as less money is coming into Shropshire due to the two
schools’ decision to amalgamate and then other Shropshire
schools are subsidising them.
Phil Wilson advised that the schools concerned
had moved to amalgamation due to an Ofsted judgement for one of the
schools which required them to academise via the sponsorship

Needs Block after fully funding individual schools in line with the
NFF.
Schools Forum agreed to reduce the MFG as
necessary, and within allowable limits, to ensure
affordability. Following this, if also
required to reduce the AWPU factor on a consistent basis across all
Shropshire schools,

presented the paper. He advised that

Schools Forum
considered the consultation responses received from Shropshire
maintained mainstream schools, attached to and summarised within
the report, and made decisions on de-delegation and top-slicing for
centrally retained services for 2020-21.
Maintained primary school
representatives (three) unanimously
decided to de-delegate funding from maintained primary school
budgets for a pupil growth contingency (when growth is 15% or more)

Michael Revell asked about reconsideration of moving
back to 10%. Gwyneth Evans advised that his school’s issues
