National Funding Formula What they’ve done: - Averaged out the LA formula - Transferred funding into additional needs - Put in major protections for the ‘losers’ - Added a ‘floor’ level of funding per pupil following consultation - Change to transfers re exclusions What they’ve not done: - Produced a formula based on anything - Redistributed much funding Impact in Central Bedfordshire: - modest gain for schools overall but still below the average funding level - A small primary age funding gain - A small secondary age funding Central Bedfordshire Council www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk
Overall per pupil funding by LA – highest, lowest, average, and CB 2018/19 Highest Lowest Average Central Bedfordshire Primary £5,893 £3,548 £4,058 £3,805 Secondary £7,840 £4,704 £5,229 £4,980 IFS – 45% of schools will be ‘overfunded’ on the NFF in 2019/20 The CBC primary unit of funding is six per cent lower than the average; and the secondary five per cent. While the primary unit of funding is seven per cent more that the lowest level of funding, and secondary six per cent, the respective percentages against the highest funded council areas are minus 35 and 36 per cent Central Bedfordshire Council www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk
Where is Central Bedfordshire in terms of pupil outcomes? Permanent exclusions – we were 106 th (bottom third quartile) in primary, 53 rd (second quartile) in secondary in 2016/17. EYFS: 73.2 per cent achieve good levels of development, 6 th out of 11 SNs and 46 th nationally (second quartile – consistent improvement over previous years) KS 1: 79 per cent of pupils reached the expected standard in reading; 73 per cent in writing and 79 per cent in maths – overall top quartile performance, but with wider gaps than nationally. KS 2 pupils reaching expected standards in reading, writing and maths, on national average of 62%, an increase of four percentage points compared with 2017, but 3 points below the SN average, and two points below national KS 4: attainment 8 was at 45 points in 2018, the same as 2017, when CB schools were 10 th out of 11 SNs and 123 rd out of 151 English LAs Central Bedfordshire Council www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk
