• Schools whose gap is greater than the Warwickshire have been invited to attend.
• If you have not booked your place yet please email [email protected] for more information and to book your place. Warwickshire County Council Education for All Bill
• No longer a requirement for all schools to become academies • However, still the Government’s intention • Implications in relation to LA statutory responsibilities for school improvement • Still an intention to remove Education Services Grant Warwickshire County Council Early Years National Funding Formula Consultation • Under the proposed consultation, Warwickshire will be funded 140th lowest out of all 150 local authorities.
• It proposes that the average provider hourly funding rate for 3-4 year olds may be £4.04. This includes funding for any supplements a child may attract e.g. deprivation
• Consequently, the base hourly rate for all early years providers will have to be less than £4.04 Warwickshire County Council Early Years National Funding Formula Consultation • DfE is proposing transitional funding for two years but LA severely limited in targeting this funding. There is no indication of what DfE will do once transitional funding ends.
• Consultation closed 22 September; still awaiting final decision
• WCC submitted a response: - copy available for secondaries - copy emailed to all Primary Headteachers Warwickshire County Council Schools that Work for Everyone
• DfE consultation on proposals to create more good school places, to do this by: - expecting independent schools to support existing or open new state schools, or offer funded places to children whose families can’t afford to pay fees - asking universities to sponsor or set up new schools in exchange for the ability to charge higher fees - allowing selective schools to expand, or new ones to open, while making sure they support non- selective schools Warwickshire County Council Schools that Work for Everyone
- allowing new faith free schools to select up to 100% of pupils based on their faith, and introducing new requirements to make sure faith schools include pupils from different backgrounds
• Consultation launched 12 September 2016 and ends 12 December 2016
