Agenda item

The Cabinet considered a joint report of the Corporate Director of Children and Young People's Service and the Corporate Director of Resources which provided an overview of the forecast Dedicated Schools Grant School Block and proposed local formula for 2022/23, with the proposal that the Council continues to align the mainstream primary and secondary formula funding in 2022/23 with the National Funding Formula (NFF) (for copy of report see file of minutes).

Councillor T Henderson thanked the Corporate Director for the report. He explained how this formula would be for all maintained primary and secondary schools next year, which essentially is a continuation of this year’s formula however with one major change being to the sparsity funding. A consultation has taken place with the Schools Forum which all schools were able to feed into.

Resolved:

That the recommendations in the report be approved.
