Issue - meetings

Following two consultations the Department for Education had announced a National Funding Formula (NFF) for schools.  This would come into effect in time when the “hard” formula was introduced.  From 1 April 2018 local authorities could choose to transition to the NFF with political approval.  A recommendation was being taken to the Cabinet that Staffordshire schools should transition to the NFF to take advantage of the per pupil protections and to ensure a smooth transition when the hard formula was implemented.

RESOLVED – That the Briefing Note be received.
