School Funding Consultation PDF 384 KB Carole Smith – Resources and Digital Minutes: The Forum received the DfE consultation on the move to a hard national funding formula (NFF) for mainstream schools and the LA’s draft response.
School Forum was asked for its views on submitting the draft response on behalf of the Forum.
There were differing views from particular sectors and specifically it was felt that more feedback should be included in terms of deprivation inequalities.
It was therefore suggested that schools be asked to respond individually and that Cllr Haley, Domenic Volpe and Sarah Diggle would come up with a response regarding equality to be circulated to schools with the consultation.
RESOLVED - That Schools Forum ask all schools to respond individually to the consultation. |
