The Forum requested for the administration of this service to be reviewed on an annual basis so that a decision could be made by members on whether they wished the Authority to continue with the administration. 2.0 RECOMMENDATIONS That the Forum decides on how it wishes to proceed with the administration of this scheme. That the Forum decides on the contribution rate for schools for 2019/22. 3.0 MAIN BODY OF REPORT The Forum agreed at its meeting on 28th June 2018 for the Local Authority to continue to administer Union Facility Time. The Forum agreed to a Flat rate of £3,000 administration fee per year. The admin fee covers design and management of claim forms along with guidance notes, managing and monitoring of the budget, reviewing claims for legitimacy, recording and raising debtors requests to charge all schools that have signed up to facility time, recording and raising creditor payments for claims received, review and monitor any changes to ACAS code of practice in relation to facility time and update documentation if and when Page 1 of 3 Thurrock Borough Council Agenda Item No:04 Schools Forum 27th June 2019 required and provide a reconciliation of the account to the Forum on an annual basis. As agreed at the last schools forum, it was agreed to charge all schools a nominal amount as the balance is quite healthy. A charge of 10p per pupil was agreed for the 2018/2019 academic year. This generated income of £3,255.30 from the schools that bought in. There are now a total of 53 schools in the service (as listed in appendix 1) which is currently a 100% buyback into the scheme. In the current academic year up to May 2019, eighteen claims have been received, processed and subsequently been reimbursed. The total amount claimed to date is £3,054.00 (as listed in appendix 2). After deducting the administration fee there is a current balance of £22,976.00 with summer term claims still to be received. Based on this amount of surplus, the Forum may wish to consider maintaining the level of contributions for the 2019/20 – 2020/21 and schools making no contribution in 2021/22. FINANCIAL / RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS This scheme is self-financing from the schools income and is reliant on all schools buying back into the scheme and the amount of contribution set for the following academic year. 4.0 CONTACT DETAILS OF LEAD OFFICER / AUTHOR If you have any queries or comments in advance of the Schools Forum meeting about this report, please contact ROLE: School Improvement Support Officer E-MAIL: [email protected] PHONE: 01375 652744 NAME: Sue Lamkin Page 2 of 3 Thurrock Borough Council Agenda Item No:04 Schools Forum 27th June 2019 Page 3 of 3 Thurrock Borough Council Agenda Item 04 - Appendix 1 Schools Forum 27th June 2019 Bought in School Comments Premium Yes/No 100% Buy Back Abbots Hall Primary Academy Yes -22.50 Arthur Bugler Primary Yes -41.70 Aveley Primary Yes -45.60 Beacon Hill Academy Yes -6.30 Belmont Castle Academy Yes -71.20 Benyon Primary Yes -20.80 Bonnygate Primary Yes -43.20 Bulphan Academy Yes -7.50 Chadwell St Mary Primary Yes -20.40 Corringham Primary Yes -45.70 Deneholm Primary Yes -40.80 Dilkes Academy Yes -44.40 East Tilbury Primary Yes -67.20 Gable Hall Yes -146.10 Gateway Primary Free School Yes -43.60 Giffards Primary Yes -44.20 Graham James Primary Academy Yes -44.70 Grays Convent High School Yes -58.20 Harris Academy Chafford Hundred Yes -128.20 Harris Academy Riverside Yes -12.60 Harris Primary Academy Chafford Hundred Yes -64.30 Harris Primary Academy Mayflower Yes -45.00 Hassenbrook Academy Yes -47.80 Herringham Primary Academy Yes -41.10 Holy Cross Catholic Primary Yes -25.30 Horndon-On-The-Hill Primary Yes -22.90 Kenningtons Primary Academy Yes -45.90 Lansdowne Primary Academy Yes -63.10 Little Thurrock Primary Yes -64.90 Ormiston Park Academy Yes -56.60 Orsett Primary Yes -21.00 Purfleet Primary Academy Yes -54.50 Quarry Hill Academy Yes -525.00 Shaw Primary Academy Yes -43.80 Somers Heath Primary Yes -37.60 St Clere's Yes -112.70 St Joseph's Catholic Primary Yes -24.20 St Mary's R.C.
