  • 2019-11 Schools Block Funding
    Agenda Item 3 Rep 786 DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL SCHOOLS FORUM 26th November 2019 Report of the Executive Director for Children’s Services School Block Funding 2020-21 1. Purpose of the Report To inform the Schools Forum of the provisional schools block settlement for 2020-21 and potential implications for Derbyshire. 2. Information and Analysis As part of the government’s Spending Round 2019, the Chancellor of the Exchequer confirmed to Parliament that funding for schools and high needs will, compared to 2019- 20, rise by £2.6 billion for 2020-21, £4.8 billion for 2021-22, and £7.1 billion for 2022-23. On 11th October 2019 the DfE released provisional DSG funding levels for 2020-21 for each LA. Final allocations will be published in December to reflect the October 2019 pupil census. This paper focusses on the schools block, papers for the other blocks are covered elsewhere on tonight’s agenda. 2.1 Schools Block increase The government have announced the mainstream National Funding Formula (NFF) multipliers for 2020-21. Details of the current and new values are shown in Appendix 1. These increased multipliers feed directly into the calculation of the 2020-21 Schools Block budgets for each LA. By way of background, the provisional LA-level Schools Block for each sector is derived as a unit rate (Primary/Secondary Unit of Funding (PUF/SUF)) multiplied by the October 2018 pupil census. The PUF/SUF values have been derived by calculating schools’ NFF budgets for 2019-20, summing the individual amounts and dividing the aggregate total by the October 2018 pupil count.

  • 09-01-2019 Schools Devolved Formula Capital 2018 to 2019
    “PUBLIC” Agenda Item No: 4 (b) DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL CABINET MEMBER FOR YOUNG PEOPLE 9 January 2019 Report of the Strategic Director for Children’s Services SCHOOLS DEVOLVED FORMULA CAPITAL 2018-19 1. Purpose of Report To inform the Cabinet Member of the Government’s Devolved Formula Capital (DFC) grant allocation for 2018-19 totalling £2,144,820. To seek approval to incorporate the 2018-19 DFC grant into the Children’s Services Capital Programme and inform schools & support centres of their DFC allocations. 2. Information and Analysis The Department for Education (DfE) has confirmed that the amount of DFC grant each school receives in 2018-19 will be calculated using the annual school census return as at January 2017 (pupil numbers on roll) and based on two elements: A fixed amount per school/support centre, and; An allocation per pupil according to the type of school. Devolved Formula Capital 2018-19 LA School VA School Per school sum £4,000.00 £4,300.00 Per primary pupil £11.25 £12.15 Per secondary pupil £16.88 £18.23 Per SEN pupil £33.75 £36.45 (VA school figures have been adjusted for Governors’ contributions and eligibility for VAT) The DfE multipliers indicated in the above table are the same as those used in 2017-18. 1 The DFC funding extends to all Derbyshire community, foundation and controlled schools and support centres. A separate allocation is made directly from the DfE for Voluntary Aided schools and from the Education Skills and Funding Agency (ESFA) for Academies. The Authority is cognisant of a need to remind schools of the constraints within which their delegated discretionary use of DFC funding is managed.

  • URN Institution Name 143129 Phoenix Academy 142905 South
    University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag All schools on this list meet the requirements for the University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag. The Institution Contextual Flag is given to all institutions whose data indicates that they perform in the bottom 40% nationally for KS5 results reported by the Department for Education each year. We use the average point school per entry and where data is not available, we use KS4 result, if available. In order to make this more reliable we look at data over a three year period to see if they are low performing for at least two out of the last three years. In cases where an Institution is flagged, but subsequently closes, the flag will be retained and the institution will continue to appear on the list. We use the Institution supplied by you in your UCAS application (the UCAS centre or Last Institution) to identify whether it has a Contextual Flag. Please note: independent schools are not included, neither do we have data from government agencies in Scotland and Northern Ireland and therefore these cannot be given a flag. Similarly, there may be schools or colleges which have recently changed name, status or have merged and this has resulted in no data being reported by the Department of Education , in these instances we will not be able to assess the Institution for a Contextual Flag.

  • High Peak Sports Awards
    Sport High Peak School & Partnership Winter 2016 High Peak Sports Awards This year saw High Peak Borough Council supporting the part- nership by allocating us time at the annual sports awards to highlight some of the great work that’s going on across the area. The 10 Gold School Game Mark Schools were invited along to the celebration evening – many schools brought along their chil- dren and they all felt extremely special to be there. In the lead up to handing each school their framed certificate on stage the audience had the opportunity to see the introductory video that demonstrated all that they’ve achieved this last year – you can view it too at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elVPKHogOjo&t=103s It was a double celebration with the second part of our section devoted to our Young Ambassadors from all the Secondary Schools across the area. We also introduced the group attending with another video which showed the journey our young leaders can take starting in primary schools as part of our Aspire2b Mini Leader Training and Change for Life Champions through to the Secondary Leadership Academy, School Sport Organising Committees and the pinnacle – Young Ambassadors. The video will be out Sue Crookes from Tintwis- on YouTube very soon. tle Primary winning Adult Volunteer of the Year. We’re very fortunate to work with amazing schools that support their young leaders. This was more than demonstrated by two of our ambassadors that spoke to the audi- ence about their experiences – well done to both Jack Bentley from Buxton Community School and Rohan O’Neill from St Philip Howard Voluntary Academy.

    Public Agenda Item No. 8(j) Derbyshire County Council CABINET 26 July 2016 Report of Strategic Director – Economy, Transport and Communities SUSTAINABLE MODES OF TRAVEL STRATEGY (HIGHWAYS, TRANSPORT AND INFRASTRUCTURE) (1) Purpose of Report To seek approval for the Council’s Sustainable Modes of Travel Strategy and to publish this strategy on the Council’s website. (2) Information and Analysis The Council has a statutory duty to produce a Sustainable Modes of Travel Strategy. On 8 September 2015, the Cabinet Member – Highways, Transport and Infrastructure approved the publication of a Statement of Intent outlining the Council’s commitment to develop and produce this Strategy by 31 August 2015 (Minute No. 120/15 refers). A copy of this Statement is attached under Appendix 1 to this report. The requirement to produce a Strategy was set out in the Department for Education’s recently re-issued home to school travel and transport guidance. The guidance requires local authorities to: • Promote the use of sustainable travel and transport, and • Make transport arrangements for all eligible children There are five key elements to the duty and these cover schools, academies and free schools for compulsory school aged children (5-16). These require the local authority to: 1. Undertake an assessment of the travel and transport needs of children, and young people within the Authority’s area. 2. Audit the sustainable travel and transport infrastructure within the Authority’s area that may be used when travelling to and from, or between schools/institutions. 3. Develop a strategy to deliver sustainable travel and transport infrastructure within the Local Authority Area, so that the travel and transport needs of children and young people are best catered for.
