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.

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).

    • 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.
