A representative of the Corporate Director for People submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) outlining the stage two consultation documents for schools and high needs released from the Department for Education (DfE) which was published on 14 December 2016. It was proposed that the new National Fairer Funding Formula for both schools and high needs would distribute the national envelope of funding to local authorities via application of the same national funding levels assigned for each formula factor for all pupils/schools, with the cumulative total of all factors then multiplied by the appropriate area cost adjustment (ACA) value for each Local Authority.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
