Park House Growth Fund Bid
The Schools’ Forum considered the application for Growth Funding from Park House School. Although Park House’s pupil numbers had increased in year 7 from 117 in September 2013 to 179 in September 2014, overall the pupil numbers were 773 in 2013 compared with 769 in 2014. The Growth Fund criterion is based on total number of pupils not individual year groups. It was noted by members that if Park House qualified, then most other schools would do so, but this was not the purpose of the growth fund which is to make up for the lag in AWPU funding (based on total pupil numbers).
DECISION: The Schools’ Forum unanimously rejected the application as it does not meet the criteria for the growth fund.
