Primary Schools in Financial Difficulty - Bid for Funding: Parsons Down (Wendy Howells)

Minutes:

Wendy Howells introduced the report (Agenda Item 8) that summarised the bid that had been received from the Parson Down Partnership to the Primary Schools in Financial Difficulty De-delegated Fund. The amount being bid for was £32,106 to help cover the costs of redundancy.

At its meeting on the 3rd July 2018 the Heads Funding Group had agreed to recommend that the bid be approved in full. The school had a robust deficit recovery plan, including moving the school to a two form entry and a restructure of staffing. Approval of the bid would not clear the school’s deficit and it would still be required to implement the savings in their deficit recovery plan.

Jonathon Chishick proposed that the Schools’ Forum approve the bid in full and this was seconded by Chris Davis. At the vote the motion was carried.

RESOLVED that the Schools’ Forum approved the bid from The Parson Down Partnership as set out in section 2.1 of the report.
