In 2021-22, as in previous years, the local authority will continue to set a local schools funding formula, in consultation with its schools, under what is known as a ‘soft’ National Funding Formula (NFF). The government are expected to, later this year, put forward plans to move to a ‘hard’ NFF in the future, which will determine school funding allocations directly, rather than a local funding formula.
As we move through the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the local authority acknowledges the need to make the consultation and information events via a virtual setting to allow people to attend whilst remaining within your bubbles. We encourage you to share your views with us by booking onto these events and responding to the consultation.
The virtual meetings are to take place :
| Date | Time |
|---|---|
| Monday 5th October 2020 | 9.30am – 12.30pm |
| Wednesday 7th October 2020 | 9.30am – 12.30pm |
| Wednesday 7th October 2020 | 1.30pm – 4.30pm |
Online bookings can be made via Online Booking Form.
Please Note: As these events are being held using Teams we will require an email address for each attendee to ensure that an invite goes out for the events.
Booking closes 15.30 on 30th September 2020.
