The policies and strategies set out in this report have been agreed by Derbyshire’s Pensions and Investments Committee and aim to support the delivery of the Fund’s objectives. Derbyshire Pension Board has continued to contribute to the development of policies and strategies during 2019/20 in its role of assisting the Council with the governance and administration of the Pension Fund. The final stages of 2019-20 were dominated by the Covid-19 pandemic. At the end of January, the World Health Organisation declared that coronavirus was a global health emergency. By the end of March, the scale of the global crisis had become clearer and in large parts of the world social distancing and lockdown had become part of daily life. In the UK, administrative staff delivering essential public services such as the payment of benefits, were classified as key workers. Guidance issued by the Pensions Regulator advised pensions funds to concentrate on: paying members’ benefits; retirement processing; bereavement services; and any processes needed to ensure benefits are accurate. Supported by the Council’s ICT department, the Pension Fund Team adapted swiftly and efficiently to working at home and the critical activities of the Fund continued to be carried out, supporting the delivery of key services. A small number of people continued to work at County Hall in a Covid- secure environment, in order to keep the Fund’s Pensions Helpline open and to deal with other tasks that could not be dealt with remotely. The efforts of all the members of the Team, and of the Fund’s employers and suppliers during this period has ensured that services to members have been maintained during this challenging period. The Fund’s objective is to deliver secure, accurate and efficient administration of the LGPS, ensuring that sufficient assets are available to meet benefit payments for the Fund’s members both now and in the future. Assets are accumulated in the Pension Fund through a combination of contributions from employees and employers within the scheme and from investment returns. At the end of March 2020, the value of the Fund’s assets had fallen to just over £4.6bn (2018-19, £4.9bn). Supportive monetary policy helped to deliver positive investment returns in the first three quarters of 2019-20 despite concerns about lower economic growth, the fall-out from the US-China Trade War, the uncertainty surrounding Brexit and increasing political concerns in the run up to the US Presidential Election. Global equity indices achieved all-time highs in February 2020 before the spread of the coronavirus hit markets sharply in the final quarter of the financial year, resulting in a negative investment return of 4.7% for the year ended 31 March 2020 (2018-19, 5.6%). The benefits of diversification were well demonstrated in 2019-20, with the UK equity market losing around 19% in value, whilst losses in major overseas equities markets ranged from 2%-13% in sterling terms and government bonds delivered positive returns. Subsequent to the period-end, equity and credit markets have recovered strongly. The Fund outperformed its benchmark by 0.7% in 2019-20. During the year, when a further 43 new employers were onboarded, the Pension Fund Team successfully used Altair, the new pension administration system implemented in the first quarter of 2019, and started to work on the rollout of the associated i-Connect system, which will enable 5 employers to automate the submission of their data. The Fund is committed to continually improving the services offered to its members and 2020-21 will see the launch of a Member Self-Service solution designed to allow members to access their real-time pension details on-line. An actuarial valuation of the Fund’s assets and liabilities as at 31 March 2019 was undertaken during the financial year and reported that the Pension Fund’s funding ratio had increased from 87% at 31 March 2016 to 97% at 31 March 2019, primarily reflecting strong investment returns over the preceding three years. The funding level is the ratio of assets to liabilities at the valuation date, providing a high-level snapshot of the funding position at a particular date. As part of the valuation process, the Fund’s Actuary reviewed funding plans and set contribution rates for the Pension Fund’s participating employers for the period from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2023. The Fund continues to work closely with its partners in the LGPS Central Pool, the LGPS pension funds of Cheshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire and West Midlands, overseeing the development and delivery of LGPS Central Limited (LGPSC), the company established to manage investments on behalf of the participating pension funds. In February 2020, the Fund transitioned its legacy UK Corporate Bond portfolio into an LGPSC Global Investment Grade Bond pooled

    POLICY FOR ADMISSION TO BROOKLANDS PRIMARY SCHOOL The standard admission number for September 2016 will be 60. Your child may start Brooklands Primary School at any time between the ages of 3 and 11 and there are different arrangements depending upon the age of your child. Nursery Starters Parents should come to the school office where their details will be taken and parents will be notified by letter when a place becomes available at the appropriate time. Mainstream – Key Stage 1 An application form is sent from Derbyshire County Council to be completed by parents and returned to D.C.C. who will inform school as to the allocation of places. If you move into the area during the school year an application form can be collected from the school office, completed and returned. You will then be informed if your application is successful. Key Stage 2 If your child already attends Brooklands Primary School there will be no need to apply for admission to Key Stage 2. If you move into the area during the school year you will need to follow the same procedure as for Key Stage 1 as all admissions are handled centrally by Derbyshire County Council. Parents of Year 2 children at other infant schools should normally apply for admission by February of the year in which they want to start Key stage 2. Our normal catchment area extends from the school to the station, Fields Farm Estate and to the Green in the town centre. It is the governments ruling that classes at Key Stage 1 will not exceed 30.

  • 2019-11 Schools Block Funding
    Agenda Item 3 Rep 786 DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL SCHOOLS FORUM 26th November 2019 Report of the Executive Director for Children’s Services School Block Funding 2020-21 1. Purpose of the Report To inform the Schools Forum of the provisional schools block settlement for 2020-21 and potential implications for Derbyshire. 2. Information and Analysis As part of the government’s Spending Round 2019, the Chancellor of the Exchequer confirmed to Parliament that funding for schools and high needs will, compared to 2019- 20, rise by £2.6 billion for 2020-21, £4.8 billion for 2021-22, and £7.1 billion for 2022-23. On 11th October 2019 the DfE released provisional DSG funding levels for 2020-21 for each LA. Final allocations will be published in December to reflect the October 2019 pupil census. This paper focusses on the schools block, papers for the other blocks are covered elsewhere on tonight’s agenda. 2.1 Schools Block increase The government have announced the mainstream National Funding Formula (NFF) multipliers for 2020-21. Details of the current and new values are shown in Appendix 1. These increased multipliers feed directly into the calculation of the 2020-21 Schools Block budgets for each LA. By way of background, the provisional LA-level Schools Block for each sector is derived as a unit rate (Primary/Secondary Unit of Funding (PUF/SUF)) multiplied by the October 2018 pupil census. The PUF/SUF values have been derived by calculating schools’ NFF budgets for 2019-20, summing the individual amounts and dividing the aggregate total by the October 2018 pupil count.

  • 2020-01-20 Support for Mainstream Schools with Significant Numbers Of
    Rep 785 DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL Agenda Item 7 SCHOOLS FORUM 20th January 2020 Report of the Executive Director for Children’s Services Support for mainstream schools with significant numbers of children with additional educational needs (AEN). 1. Purpose of the Report To ask the Schools Forum to consider once more the financial arrangements for supporting mainstream schools with significant numbers of children with additional educational needs and to make recommendations to Council. 2. Information and Analysis As the arrangements in this paper apply equally to mainstream schools and academies, references to schools should be taken to include academies as well unless otherwise stated. At the July 2019 meeting of the Council an amended Motion was unanimously agreed which sought to ensure that every Derbyshire SEND (Special Educational Needs & Disability) pupil gets the education they are entitled to by: i. Continuing to pressure the government for more funding to be invested in education, especially SEND; and ii. Urgently reviewing the discretionary contingency fund, in consultation with the Schools Forum, so that those schools which feel penalised because they have more SEND Children can be given more financial support; and iii. To bring a report outlining progress on reviewing the discretionary contingency fund and with the government to a future Full Council meeting within the next six months. The 2020-21 settlement provided an additional £9.8m (14%) increase in funding for Derbyshire, thus meeting objective (i) of the Motion above. The remainder of this report focusses on item (ii), the discretionary contingency fund arrangements. 2.1 Background to the Motion Under the national funding framework mainstream primary and secondary schools are expected to fund the first £6,000 of additional costs for any child with additional educational needs.
