Funding 33: Schools Funding Consultation 2019-20

Posted on 7 September 2018 by education.finance

Dear Colleagues,

2019/20 School Funding Consultation

Education in Devon continues to face many challenges and we know that school budgets vary across schools and over time. Devon has never been funded at the level it deserves and remains well below the national average for funding per pupil.

2019-20 is the second year since the introduction of the National Funding Formula (NFF) “soft” formula arrangements. The LA, in conjunction with Headteacher and Governor representatives, is consulting with all schools, academies and free schools on the proposed local formula. This will take place from 1st to 12th October 2018.

Consultation events are being held across Devon. We encourage you to share your views with us by coming along to these events and responding to the consultation.

Each school may send a maximum of two delegates, which can be the Headteacher, Chair of Governors or School Business Manager.

To book please use the online booking form

We look forward to engaging with schools during the forthcoming consultation period.

Yours sincerely,
Dawn Stabb
Head of Education & Learning
