This paper will look at the proposed changes to services for schools.

To receive the report of the sub group, this will be in two parts:-

A – Banding Review

B – High Needs Budget for 2017/18

To receive the report of the sub group.

To consider the current budget monitoring position.

The Department for Education confirmed their intention to remove the Education Services Grant (ESG) and to move some of the funding for statutory services to the Dedicated Schools Budget.  This paper looks at this and level of budget needed to manage those statutory services.

To agree the principles on which the Dedicated Schools Budget will be allocated.  This will allow the precise calculations to be made when the funding settlement is known in December.  These will be presented to the 17 January Forum for confirmation.
