Allowable local formula factors • Basic entitlement per pupil (currently AWPU) • Funding for additional educational needs (eg deprivation, SEN,EAL) • Rates • Exceptional site factors (eg split site, PFI and rent) • Lump sum for schools
Deprivation - options • Free school meals (FSM) • Ever FSM • Benefits data • Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI)

Funding Formula working group The purpose of the group will be to recommend changes to the East Sussex Funding Formula from what we have now to what will be permitted under the new regulations
Review stages 1 Identify factors in the existing formula which can no longer be used and propose reallocation methodology (exc SEN) 2 Identify funding which is currently devolved to schools and recommend how it can be delegated 3 Review SEN funding in line with new legislation 4 Identify any funding which should no longer be delegated to schools
