Cheshire West and Chester Schools Forum consultation with schools and academies on funding arrangements for 2025-26 financial year
In consideration of funding arrangements for schools for the new financial year, Schools Forum representatives will be required to approve a number of items at the January Schools Forum meeting.
To inform those decisions, Schools Forum are seeking views on those decisions from schools and academies in the borough.
These decisions are:
A. To confirm the continuation of the current year transfer of 0.5% of Schools Block funding to support the continuing pressures on high needs budgets.
B. To confirm de-delegation arrangements for primary and secondary maintained schools only
C. To confirm de-delegation from all maintained schools for school improvement activities
Further information on these decisions is set out in the sections below.
Schools Forum will consider the views of schools and academies submitted through this smart survey.
Please respond by Tuesday 7th January 2025
