Decision made:
That funding is allocated to mainstream schools
(both maintained and academies) on the following basis:
·
for spring and summer terms 2022 based on the total
cumulative number of H4U pupils arriving before the end of each
half term,
- for each half term of
autumn 2022 based on the number of H4U pupils in the school at some
time in that half term
- for the first half
term of spring 2023, based either on the numbers at the start, end
or at any time within, to be determined later, having regard to the
level of internal movement (of pupils between schools) within
Surrey
- for the second half
of the spring term 2023, the numbers at 28 February 2023 (DfE will
not fund Surrey for pupils arriving in Surrey after 28 February
2023, and so we cannot fund later arrivals, unless there is an
underspend at that point)
- we would reserve the
right to amend the distribution in case of obvious
anomalies
- we will fund pupils
in independent schools and FE/sixth form colleges at the same rates
(Pro rata if part time) on application
- 20% of whole grant to
be held for central costs and SEN costs at least at this stage,
(this would include specialist SEND placements). Assistant Director
for Systems and Transformation in ELLC to manage both
- any cost of Early
Intervention Fund (or other additional costs) for H4U early years
pupils, plus hourly rate costs for such pupils not on roll on Jan
2023 census date, to be met from the early years component of the
grant. Early years providers to be
invited to apply for funding for additional costs on a case by case
basis.
- Half termly funding
rates for summer and autumn terms are £855.40 for primary and
£1,138.75 for secondary. Both are 78% of 1/6 of the
respective DFE annual rates.
- Funding rates to be reviewed once data for number of pupils in
autumn term is available and again if necessary during the spring
term. If the level of new arrivals is lower than modelled, it may
be possible to increase the per pupil funding rates. Any revision
to rates to be subject to agreement between the individuals named
in the Cabinet approval
