Page Four, Item 6.6 – 2019-2020 Reserves: This will be covered later in the meeting. 6 DSG Budget Monitoring Report 2020-2021 6.1 Overall Position An in year overspend of £2.34m is predicted. As a result the projected figure for 2020-2021 is £6.3m overspend. The greatest areas of pressure in the budget are from the High Needs Bock and SEN with a projected overspend of £3.6m. 6.2 Schools Block 6.2.1 There is a projected overspend of £4,364k, which is due to academisation. This can fluctuate throughout the year as and when schools convert to academies. It is proposed that the underspend of £596k is used to support mainstream maintained schools that have incurred additional Covid-19 related costs not covered by government funding. 6.2.3 Growth funding: the budget was originally set at £3m however the current projection is showing an underspend of £350k. 6.3 Early Years Block 6.3.1 Most of this budget is distributed to providers. This budget is traditionally underspent as it is set according to the January census pupil numbers. January’s numbers are higher than the rest of the year. There is more uncertainty this year however due to Covid-19. The DfE has changed how the funding is allocated by putting more emphasis on the 2020 January census rather than 2021. In order to give some protection to providers Leeds has taken the decision to pay out on either actual children attending or 95% of the Autumn 2019 figures. 6.3.2 The main underspend is around 2, 3 and 4 year olds which get funding on a different basis. There is a small underspend on the early years pupil premium access fund. This is purely on projected demand and could be subject to change depending on the impact of Covid-19. Nurseries that are closed due to unavoidable Covid restrictions or on PHE advice, are eligible to claim FEEE. Nurseries who have chosen to remain closed for other reasons, are not eligible for FEEE payments. Where a member of staff is furloughed, the nursery is obliged to calculate the proportion of their salary which is not funded by FEEE income and they must use this amount when claiming from the CJRS (furlough), so there is no risk of double funding. 6.3.3 Extract from government guidance on furlough is as follows: ‘If a provider’s average monthly income is 40% from DSG and 60% from other income, the provider could claim CJRS support for up to 60% of their salary bill, depending on the amount of parent-paid income that has returned. This would be done by furloughing staff whose usual salary or combined salaries come to no greater than 60% of the provider’s total salary bill. These proportions could change in subsequent furlough applications as a result of DSG income changing. For example, if this provider subsequently receives additional DSG income from a local authority as a result of providing additional hours of childcare, such that its new DSG income would represent 55% of its total income in February, then its maximum use of the furlough scheme should, from that point, be reduced to 45% of its salary bill. ‘ 6.4 High Needs Block 6.4.1 The projected overspend for the High Needs Block is £3.6m. This also takes into account the £3m transfer from the School Services Block. 3 | P a g e Page 7 6.4.2 There are two key areas of overspend: £1.2m for out of area and residential placements and £3.3m to institutions eg special and mainstream schools.

  • Our Ref: 0980/19 I Am Sending This Request Under the Freedom Of
    Our ref: 0980/19 I am sending this request under the Freedom of Information Act on Tuesday February 12th 2019 to ask for the following information about knife possession offences broken down by age, gender and year. (I am most interested in people under 18 carrying knives). Please provide the following information: 1. The number of knife / bladed instrument possession offences for a) 2014 b) 2015 c) 2016 d) 2017 e) 2018 f) please provide a breakdown by gender. 2. For the same time period and giving the figures for each year - how many of those offenders were under 18? Please include: a) the exact age for each person under 18. b) the gender of each person under 18. c) whether the offender was caught carrying a knife or bladed object on school / educational premises? If possible, please provide the name of the school / establishment. d) A breakdown by sentence / punishment – i.e. people cautioned, reprimanded or convicted. My report is focusing on the number of women under 18 caught carrying knifes. So the gender breakdown is really important, as are the exact ages for those caught who are under 18. If including convictions is an over cost response – then omit those from your response and proceed with this amended request. Please see the attached tables which contain the requested information. West Yorkshire Police are committed to prosecuting anyone found to be possessing or using a knife or firearm. The work of our partners and community based projects is important, as is the vigilance of families who believe one of their relatives may carry weapons.

    Report author: Adele Robinson Tel: 07891 276856 Report of the Director of Children’s & Families and the Director of City Development Report to the Executive Board Date: 24 June 2020 Subject: Learning Places Design & Cost Report School Places Delivery September 2020 Are specific electoral wards affected? Yes No If yes, name(s) of ward(s): Beeston & Holbeck & Headingley & Hyde Park Has consultation been carried out? Yes No Are there implications for equality and diversity and cohesion and Yes No integration? Will the decision be open for call-in? Yes No Does the report contain confidential or exempt information? Yes No If relevant, access to information procedure rule number: Appendix number: Summary 1. Main Issues The purpose of this report is to set out the demand for the creation of new secondary school places for September 2020 and seek approval for authority to spend and to incur capital expenditure on the projects associated with meeting that demand as part of the Council’s Learning Places Programme, notably: Cockburn Academy and Leeds City Academy. Since 2009, Leeds City Council’s Learning Places Programme has created over 11,500 primary school places across the city in response to rising birth rates which increased from 7,500 per year in 2001 to a peak of 10,350 in 2012. For the academic year starting in September 2018, a total of 1,600 new primary learning places were created to meet the continued demand and in 2019 315 were delivered. Since the peak in 2012 the birth rate has been declining resulting in the requirement for fewer permanent primary places and a decrease in the number of temporary or bulge solutions.
