  • School Funding and Social Justice
    SCHOOL COVER HDS.qxp 16/10/08 11:44 Page 1 School Funding and Social Justice At the moment revenue funding for English schools is a mess; a labyrinth built out of failed policy grants, out-of-date demographics and unnecessary “stability” measures. There is absolutely no need for the system to be this complicated. In this report we have identified three ways to make the system simpler. First we should move to a consistent national funding formula, rather than having a different formula for each local authority. Secondly, arbitrary central government grants should be merged into this formula. Thirdly, the formula should have just three elements for each pupil: an age-weighted base, an area cost adjustment and a premium for those pupils from more School Funding disadvantaged backgrounds. This last element is crucial. At the moment schools serving and Social Justice deprived communities do, typically, have more money than average. But this money is allocated in an entirely haphazard way, differently for each local authority and often through short-term A Guide to the Pupil Premium grants awarded by politicians eager for positive headlines. Instituting a consistent “pupil premium” would allow schools to plan their budgets around their admissions. Over time schools with large disadvantaged populations would be able to fund programmes to boost attainment, attract the best teachers and eventually middle class parents. Schools in better off areas would have an incentive to spread their nets wider, make their Sam Freedman and Simon Horner admissions more comprehensive and boost their budgets. New school providers entering the market, whether through the academies programme, or future Conservative / Liberal Democrat plans for supply-side reform, would have an incentive to set up in deprived communities, where real choice is needed most.
