Issues arising & FAQs
- How were the proposals for funding values developed?
Answer. The guiding principle for the values proposed minimise
turbulence and in particular extremes of turbulence in schools. The
first stage was to map funding streams to the most appropriate factor
in the new permitted formula factors.
- Were these shared with members of the Schools Forum?
Answer- Initial modelling was shared with representative headteachers
groups . The modelling analysed the reason for the turbulence
arising.
- Should the minimisation of turbulence be the objective?
Answer- many respondents questioned whether we should take the
opportunity to consider changes to how funding is distributed. We
do not know what the final National funding formula , if it does get
fully implemented, will look like . Difficult therefore to aim for an
unknown target. DfE has announced will look at outcomes after all
Authorities submit final proforma.
- What is the impact on the primary/ secondary ratio?
Particular concern about primary and secondary ratio. Hertfordshire
1:1.34 . National average 1:1.27. Some reasons would bring this
closer eg CERA delegated in secondary schools bring it to 1:1.31.
Both sectors would need to agree to balance shift.
