Our links with our local community and schools in particular are central to the Estates' ethos, so it was a pleasure to welcome almost 200 children to Dalditch Farm, one of our farms near Budleigh Salterton, this May for the 25th Kingfisher Award Scheme. The scheme was established in 1992 with the first field day held at one of our farms in East Devon. Since then we have been proud to support the initiative, which gives children the opportunity to experience for themselves the vital link between wildlife, conservation and farming. Over the past 25 years, around 12,000 children have benefited from the scheme which culminates with a picnic and presentation event which this year was held at Bicton Arena.

  • Schools Funding in Devon 2019-20
    Children’s Scrutiny Committee 10 June 2019 CS/19/17 Schools Funding in Devon 2019-20 Report from the Head of Education and Learning Background Devon has a total of 367 schools a significant proportion of which are rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. The schools vary in size, from primary schools with fewer than 20 pupils to one of the largest secondary schools in the country. Schools also vary in governance with, at the time of writing, approximately 55% of schools maintained by the local authority. At a national level, schools with 210 pupils or less are considered small. However, Devon has 34 very small schools (fewer than 50 pupils) and 238 with a rural school designation serving our extensive rural areas. The smallest school in Devon has 21 students on roll, as at Autumn 2018. For community and environmental reasons, the county council supports the principle of local schools for local children. There are currently 201 maintained schools and 166 academy or free schools, many of which are in good partnerships who work together as part of local learning communities, federations or multi-academy trusts. SCHOOLS FUNDING AND THE NATIONAL FUNDING FORMULA National Funding The DfE introduced an additional £900 million to school funding in 2019/20. This was the second year of the £1.3 billion committed to school funding as part of the move towards a fairer National Funding Formula. However, when considered on a per pupil basis, between 2017/18 and 2019/20 school funding nationally has been frozen at a level about 4% below the high point seen in 2015/16.
