1. Funding for Schools 2012-13 Onward SBSOnline 2012-13 Pupil Premium Upcoming training events

2. Funding for Schools 2012-13 onward The need for change DFE consultation process Results being assessed Number of key areas are being reviewed No firm decisions as yet to National Funding Formula or when it will be implemented

3. Funding for Schools 2012-13 onward The National Funding Formula should be: Clear Transparent Comparable within local areas With Schools and Academies funded on the same basis With a degree of local flexibility

4. Funding for Schools 2012-13 onward Considerations so far: Within the National Formula, the Schools block could be made up of: Basic criteria ( pupil numbers etc) + Deprivation ( e.g. Free school meals) + Small schools factor (possible flat rate but not much support as it is felt too simplistic) + EAL (possibly for 2-3 years to follow pupil) x Area cost adjustment ( possibly based on teachers salaries)

5. Funding for Schools 2012-13 onward Timing of implementation: It was felt that the consultation process should not be rushed Decisions need to be taken with regard to Floor / Ceiling dampening and the level of change that schools can manage ( There will be winners and losers) Possible introduction in 2013-14, otherwise likely to be delayed until 2015-16
