Agenda item

Melanie Ellis introduced the report (Agenda Item 10), which informed members of a change to the final school funding formula allocations for 2023/24 as a result of the Department for Education (DfE) review.

Melanie Ellis reported that the information had already been sent to schools. When West Berkshire had submitted its data, the DfE had come back with a query on the business rate estimates and requested an uplift be applied to ensure all schools had the best estimate for the 2023/24 position. This had been run through the funding formula and schools had been advised accordingly.

RESOLVED that the Schools’ Forum noted the report.
