Agenda item

Melanie Ellis introduced the report (Agenda Item 14), which set out the provisional Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) allocation for 2023-24. Melanie Ellis reported that the report was for information only and the allocation figures were based on the October 2021 census. This information would be updated later in December when the final allocations were received.  It was also not yet known how the extra funding announced in the Government’s Autumn Statement would be received. It might be distributed by the formula however, it was more likely it could be a grant. It was also not yet known which blocks it would support.

RESOLVED that the Schools’ Forum noted the report.
