Agenda item

Lisa Potts introduced the report (Agenda Item 10), which provided information on payments made to schools from the Growth Fund budget in 2024/25. Lisa Potts explained that growth funding was allocated by the Department for Education (DfE) and could either be distributed through the school formula, as previously agreed, or from a separate Growth Fund. She highlighted that the table in section 5.4 of the report showed the forecast of the Growth Fund at the end of the next financial year. Lisa Potts mentioned that for the current year, there had only been one application from Trinity School as set out in section five of the report.

RESOLVED that the Schools’ Forum noted the report.
