Place planning and growth funding (weighted numbers)
Chris Wickens
Decision:
RESOLVED:
That Schools Forum considered and supported the proposed growth fund for inclusion in the Schools Funding Consultation.
Minutes:
CW introduced the report outlining the proposed growth fund for inclusion in the Schools Funding Consultation. The growth fund was applied in two ways – weighted numbers and the pupil growth fund. Without the growth fund it would not be possible to meet obligations to provide school places. There were 32 proposed new housing developments in Northamptonshire (17 in West Northamptonshire) which would need new primary schools.
RESOLVED:
That Schools Forum considered and supported the proposed growth fund for inclusion in the Schools Funding Consultation.
