Budget Preparation 31: 2021/22 Budget Preparation – De-Delegation


De-Delegation is agreed annually by schools through the consultation process. De-delegation rates are calculated annually, as budgets are impacted by the academisation of schools and any surplus or shortfall of funding in the budgets identified. The 2021-22 rates, detailed below, has seen a change in the de-delegation rates due to surplus funding being available in budgets covered by the de-delegation and budget demand.

For budgeting purposes please note that the rates may revert to the 2020/21 rates of de-delegation in 2022/23 and following years, however this is an unknown. In setting budgets beyond 2021/22, using the 2020/21 rate of de-delegation is the preferred and most prudent option to use.
