Report CEF22033

The report provided information on all revenue and capital balances held by Primary, Secondary and Special Maintained Schools as at 31 March 2022, and also provided a comparison to the balances held at the same time in the previous year.

In response to a question, the Director of Education confirmed that the Local Authority would seek to support any Bromley school facing financial difficulties and for maintained schools, the Local Authority had a duty of care to ensure a stable financial footing. 

The Schools’ Forum noted that since the publication of the report the Governing Body of Downe Primary School had unanimously resolved to apply for academy status with the consultation concluding in the next couple of weeks.

RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
