  16. Headroom: Overall resource dependent upon agreed priorities for new investment Schools Forum agreed to share any headroom pro-rata to overall budgets (Prim 47%, Sec 47%, Spec 6%) Distribution to individual schools using needs-led formulae Greater number of schools receive a share each year, so average sum per school reduces Any headroom built into next year’s budget permanently DSG Budget2007/08 #5

  17. DSG Budget2007/08 #6 • SSG increase by Chancellor: • Prim £6.6M to £7.9M +18.7% (£12k + £114/pupil) • Sec £5.0M to £5.7M +14.5% (£12k + £121/pupil) • Spec £0.4M to £0.5M + 9.5% (£29k + £114 / pupil) • Threshold Grant probable (3-year?) phasing of • “snapshot”  formulaic w.e.f. 2008/09

  18. Impact on Schools’ Budgets • MFGs  funding stability • Govt. priorities  targeted funding • Full NLF delay  locks in inequities • Falling pupils (Prim.)  adds pressures • Local priorities  agreed by Schools’ Forum • - NLF distribution • - New investment in 07/08 • “Headroom”  relieves pressure (some schools) • Balances  “haves” and “have nots”

  19. Impact on Local Authority Budgets • Keep Council Tax low  many cash limited budgets • Significant cost pressures (inflation,Transport “super inflation”, LG Super) • Limited growth (but targeted to priorities) • Efficiency savings / budget cuts • Minimal –ve impact upon services wherever possible

  20. Overall funding levels  end to ‘generous’ funding era CSR 2008 (2008/09 - 2010/11) in 2007  predictability Ministerial commitment to “to listen” to ff4gs campaign and discuss national funding  More funding for Glos? Who knows? Resource allocations to LAs? potential turbulence MFG continuation?  definitely but likely decrease Pupil numbers  shrinking DSG (in real terms) Funding Outlook 2008/09 (National) ?

  21. Continuation of low Council Tax rises  limited budgets! Efficiencies ever more difficult to achieve  service cuts? Increased demands/commitments Increased expectations? Further review 2008/09 of Primary/Secondary Schools’ NLF (WFR, TLRs, ICT, 14-19 threshold) Special Schools’ NLF draft model out for consultation (implement in part wef 2008/09) Funding Outlook (Local)

  22. DfES expectations  VfM and FMSiS compliance FMSiS - Secondary schools expected to comply Mar 07 - Prim/Spec compliance between Mar 08 & Mar 10 Governor’s Budget Plans - used to identify schools “causing concern”, potential staffing reductions (impact on pensions) - sound financial planning (claw-back of balances) - timely return necessary  schools’ co-operation essential Schools’ Financial Management

  23. Consultation – Next Steps • Information sharing meeting  10 Jan • Schools’ Forum sub-group  12 Jan • Schools’ Forum  16 Jan • CYP Scrutiny  17 Jan • Budget consultation responses (by)  19 Jan • Final budget to Cabinet  7 Feb • Formal Council budget-setting  21 Feb • Schools’ Forum (“last-minute issues”)  6 Mar • Then final budgets issued to schools
