Key Notes to School Development Grant
Guaranteed Devolved allocation ‘Total (a)’ Schools receive as a minimum their 2009/10 per pupil cash value multiplied by their 2010/11 forecasted pupil numbers which are FTE unadjusted. The 2009/10 per pupil cash value is based on the “Total Individual School Guaranteed Allocation (a)” for 2009/10 divided by the January 2009 PLASC pupil numbers. The basis of the allocation from headroom was agreed by Schools Forum and is as detailed in the local changes to Schools Funding for 2008-2011 of the Fair Funding Consultation Document. The Indices of Multiple Deprivation allocates funding to Schools whose pupils live within the top 5% most deprived areas, please note the number of pupils is based on a three year average 2008 to 2010. Additional allocations above the guarantee ‘Total (b)’ are where schools receive funding for the following reason: With the exception of AST’s, Inclusion in Extended School Clusters and G&T Summer Schools funding is allocated by agreement from a Network, Cluster or Consortium of Schools. Funding is either allocated to a lead/banker school in the network/ cluster/consortium to manage on behalf of the schools in that network/ cluster/consortium or based on an instruction from the network/ cluster/consortium allocated to individual schools within the network/ cluster/consortium per their agreed basis. Advanced Skills Teachers (AST’s) funding reflects the latest position as notified by the School Improvement Advisor – John Hopkins. Amendments to AST’s will be reflected during the year as they are notified and agreed. Other School Development Grant allocations (c) are where schools receive funding for, one or more, of the following reasons: Specialist Schools – Confirmation of actual revenue funding for 2010/11 as notified to individual schools by the Department for Education (DfE). Where newly designated specialist schools have been notified of a capital allocation by the DfE (£100,000) please contact Phil Horgan in CYP&F Finance (tel. 303-2788) to access this funding. Post LIG Deprivation funding is based on the 2009/10 per pupil allocation multiplied by the January 2010 PLASC pupil numbers. Post LIG Transitional funding is now allocated on the basis agreed by Schools Forum in September 2008 and as recommended by Secondary Forum. Schools are free to spend the School Development Grant on any purpose to support improvement in teaching and learning, leading to higher standards of attainment throughout the school.

Devolved Capital (2.1) The allocation under this grant is 60% of an individual schools “in year” 2010-11 formula grant, as notified by Partnership for Schools (PfS). In 2009-10 as part of Government’s fiscal stimulus policy an additional 40% was brought forward (accelerated) from 2010-11 grant and added to the Devolved Formula Capital allocations for 2009-10. All schools allocations in 2010-11 reflect this adjustment, plus any carry forward balance of a school from 09/10 (notified within the Schools Outturn Statement documents produced under section 251 of the Apprenticeships, Skill, Children and Learning Act 2009 issued in June 2010). Completed PPP 1 and PPP 2 schools are classified as modernised and will therefore only receive 50% of the “higher” un-modernised rate. Newly built and co-located schools completed in 2009-10 are classed as modernised in 2010-11 and receive 50% of the “higher” un-modernised DFC rate designated by PfS Schools who become Academies during the 2010-11 financial year, will be funded (pro-rata of the total allocation) by the Local Authority until the opening date of the academy only, at the “higher” un-modernised rate. If you have a query in respect of your formulaic funding please contact Steve Barlow Children, Young People & Families Finance. Tel 303 6653 or via e-mail Steve.Barlow@birmingham.gov.uk. Harnessing Technology (2.8) Funding from this grant is to help to begin preparing schools for the uplift in real costs which will need to be charged by Link2ICT for services should HTG end in March 2011. There will be an increase in Link2ICT charges for 2010/11 as some costs are moved to the school subscription from HTG; hence schools should be using the increased funding to cover these charges. Please note that following the Government’s decision to reduce this grant by 50%, the amount devolved to your school will only be 50% of the allocation notified to you in April 2010.
