A representative of the Borough Treasurer submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) which provided Schools Forum Members with details of the latest information released by the Department for Education (DfE) regarding all Local Authority schools local formula funding models which had been implemented for 2017/18

The following comments were made/issues raised:

·         Members of the Forum were advised that unfortunately it was not possible to update the DfE document with details of the Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council local funding formula detail until a separate document was received from the DfE.  In the meantime, any members who wished to compare Stockport Council’s formula data to the DfE document would be required to refer to the Local Authority Schools Formula data which was provided in the January 2017 report to members.

RESOLVED – (i) That the report be noted.

(ii)  Updated information was to be provided as soon as possible, subject to receipt of the required document from the DfE.
