Report ED12041

Members of the Forum considered a report outlining the final Dedicated Schools Grant allocation for 2012/13.  Bromley’s final allocation had been confirmed as £220,809,000, which was an increase of £346,000 on the estimated figure of £220,463,000.  As the additional funding largely related to increased pupil numbers for three and four year olds, it had been added to the Central Schools’ Budget, which included Early Years Funding and it was anticipated this funding would be used to offset any overspend in relation to the increase in pupil numbers for three and four year olds.

In considering the additional funding, Alison Regester confirmed that it was difficult to anticipate the number of pupils that would be attending early years settings, and that more pupils were now moving on to the Reception year as September starters.

RESOLVED that the final Dedicated Schools Grant allocation for 2012/13 be noted.
