Item Action

1. Apologies and Welcome

The chairperson welcomed everyone to the meeting and apologies were noted. Cllr Russ Bowden (Leader of the Council) was welcomed to the meeting and was asked by the chair to give a brief outline of cuts to the council budgets, and the rationale for investment in projects outside the usual council investments. Questions/comments were invited and further discussion took place.

2. Latest position on High Needs & High Needs Budgets 2019/20

Paula Worthington presented her report to the forum, and after debating and discussing the paper members did not feel they were delegated to vote on the range of topics within the paper without a mandate from colleagues. It was noted that WAPH, WASCL and Governors Forum are due to meet and should discuss the proposals within the paper. The chair suggested an extraordinary Schools Forum meeting should take place with this one item on the agenda. This was agreed unanimously and a date was identified - Tuesday 23 April 2019. Cllr Jean Carter noted that she would need to send apologies for this meeting.

3. Update re: Early Years Single Funding Formula (EYSFF)

Angela Conway presented her report to the forum, providing an update of the Early Years Inclusion Fund in Warrington. It was noted that the Inclusion Panel was established in February 2018 and supports the Early Years SEND Graduated Pathway. Key points were noted:

Portage: The Portage Service is currently working with 24 families and has 12 families on the waiting list. There are two full time portage workers previously agreed at Schools Forum to fund until March 2021. An Early Years SENCO post has also been funded until March 2021 through DSG. Noted that there was agreement that the SENCO post would support schools with nurseries as well as PVIs. Reference was made to paragraph 2.2 of the report and queried what “with needs met” actually means. Noted that the portage service supports the family until accessing a nursery place, and some will go into nursery with outreach support as they will still have needs.

Inclusion Fund: It is a statutory requirement to have an Early Years Inclusion Fund and this totals £110K. The total expenditure for this financial year is £74K.

Vulnerable Two Year Olds: 40% received a free nursery place. An additional 20 nursery places are funded for children in need, FNP and those known to MARAC. During 2018/19 we only funded 8 two year olds, and going forward the budget will reduce.

Free Schools Meals: Noted that statutory entitlement to free school meals only applies to children in maintained schools, it does not apply to PVIs and the independent sector. Due to the increase in children accessing the free 30 hours early education entitlement and attending a maintained nursery class more children are qualifying for free school meals. It has been agreed schools would

Item Action

fund this and claim back from the DSG Early Years Block (to be reviewed annually).

Disability Access Funding (DAF): Warrington was awarded funding for approximately 79 children who are in receipt of Disability Living Allowance (DLA). Their nurseries would qualify to receive £615 per child per annum. The budget is underspend. Future allocations are based on historical claims and as there were low claims in 2018/19 the allocation for 2019/20 will be reduced. Noted that due to the different funding formula for nurseries Sandy Lane are not entitled to the funding. Children in the designated provision (DP) at schools could be counted in the total claims. JaneW noted that the children required to generate this money (at Sandy Lane) are not having it spent on them as it goes to the DP. LG asked if the money can be directed at those children who come into the authority. AC confirmed that it would, and it should be directed through Early Years SEND. AC noted that the proposal for the 2018/19 DAF underspend is to purchase ‘WellComm’ a Speech, Language and Communication tool, and to offer the resource and training across the sector. JaneW to provide the local authority with the numbers of children in DP who are in receipt of DLA going forward.

Funding: Reference was made to the table in the report outlining funding for the next two years.

The chairperson declared an interest in Sandy Lane Nursery.

Recommendations - Schools Forum is asked to:-

note the report NOTED

note the DAF underspend and proposal for spend NOTED

note the funding of FSM from the Early Years Block NOTED

note the extension of the Portage and Area SENCO team until March 2021 NOTED

note the allocated Inclusion Fund until March 2021 NOTED

note the allocated vulnerable 2 year old budget until March 2021 NOTED

note that this budget will only support these services up to March 2021 NOTED

note the DLA requirement for Sandy Lane Nursery NOTED

4. Minutes from the previous meeting

The minutes were accepted as a true record of the meeting and matters arising were addressed. The action for Simon Bleckly will be followed up (providing examples of fines re: GDPR). Noted that Gary Mogey did attend the meeting on 15 January 2019 and the final minutes will reflect his attendance.

5. Confirmed Budgets: 2019/2020 – Schools and Early Years

Garry Bradbury presented his report to the forum, which explains how the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) for 2019/20 has been allocated to individual budgets. GB noted that the report had been written before the contribution from Early Help and it makes

Item Action

reference to a projected deficit of £1.2m, but this is now likely to be a projected deficit of £1m. It was noted that actions are being taken to try and mitigate this further.

Questions/comments were invited from the chair – none were forthcoming.

Recommendations:

It is recommended that Schools Forum note the contents of the report and the financial position on High Needs. NOTED

6. Designated Provision review

Melissa Young (MY) noted that visits with DP headteachers had been really useful in gauging aspirations and future capacity. Research has included information about children coming through the system from 2y onwards and looking at the changes in special needs. It was noted that there is a change in the demographic of our children and we are considering future needs in terms of education. Discussions with DP headteachers included querying if the designation is right for the school. Once the primary DP visits have been completed, requests will be made for visits at the secondary DPs. MY noted that we are looking at how children transition through the key stages with a clear pathway and implementation of education and training post 16.

It was noted that there will be financial implications if designations are changed, and this is an early notification of the review. Once completed the recommendations from the review will be brought back to Schools Forum. Noted that we need to make sure we have quality staff, the right schools, and children placed in the right settings.

7. AOB – no items to discuss

Item Action

1. Apologies and Welcome

The chairperson welcomed everyone to the meeting and apologies were noted.

2. Funding Bands

Paula Worthington (PW) presented the report regarding funding bands and described the current position in Warrington in comparison to other local authorities. It was noted that the current banding has increments of differing amounts with no rationale for why this approach was taken.

The options in the report were explained, and noted that we are looking towards a more accurate approach to costs and funding for specific interventions and support. This will be a more bespoke personal approach and will give flexibility to change funding up and down depending on the needs of the child at that point. This approach should most appropriately target resources to the children who need it. Any savings generated will remain in the high needs pot.

It was noted that the children in receipt of the higher band funding are not necessarily in Warrington, and work is ongoing to review all these current contracts. PW is also challenging internally with children’s social care when they arrange a social care placement with a high cost education placement or transport costs. Licensed taxi drivers are also to be challenged around their higher charges for educational transport.

New provision maps have been launched and SENCOs trained on their use. Training should continue with SENCOs to support accurate planning. It was noted that the provision maps were previously more generic, but now provide more scrutiny to match the funding.

The proposals were considered and it was agreed to remove all banding and move to a new bespoke model. This process will start with new and reviewed EHCPs. It was agreed that this model should be reviewed after six months to see how it compares to last year.

Proposals: (i) Consider the removal of Bands F&G with effect from September 2019.

AGREED (ii) Move to actual amounts for new EHCPs rather than bands, but with

consideration for schools to continue funding the first £1500 on top of schools core offer (old Band A). AGREED

(iii) Consider changing the band structure regarding F&G to move in line with other band increments. N/A

3. Change from Top Up Funding to Warrington Emergency Funding to Schools (WEFTS)

PW gave an explanation of the current system and the issues as noted in the report. It is proposed to rebrand Top Up Funding and change the rules to use as an emergency

Page 11: Warrington Schools Forum Agenda · 23/04/2019  · 4 December 2018 Item 2a - Schools Forum - 25/06/2019. Minutes – 5 March 2019 Warrington Schools Forum Draft to be confirmed June

Item Action

pot. It is focused around a change in policy of our approach to this and ensuring that children are not left vulnerable. We don’t want a postcode lottery where children lose out because of moving house (a short distance) and have to go through a process with another authority with different rules. Discussion took place, and it was noted that each case would be judged on its own merits. For this process we will still require detailed provision maps.

It was agreed to move over to the WEFTS process, and for the local authority to draw up plans for its implementation.

Proposal: (i) The local authority ceases Top Up Funding and moves to a system where

schools can apply for short term funding for a specific reason and usually whilst an EHC needs assessment is in process. (Warrington Emergency Funding to Schools-WEFTS). AGREED

4. High Needs Medical Funding

PW presented this report with a proposal to remove High Needs Medical Funding from Warrington schools. It was noted that there are many requests through Panel for children with complex medical needs, and it is clear that the medical needs should not be funded by education. Further discussions are ongoing between the local authority and Bridgewater CCG around who should be funding these medical interventions in Warrington schools.

It was noted that the proposals in the report (as noted below) will be put on hold until the outcomes of these discussions are known.

(i) The removal of HNMF with effect from September 2019. With Health services funding support where appropriate. ON HOLD

(ii) A review of all funding in place and a change to actual amounts rather than bands/historic hourly funding. ON HOLD

(iii) Greater financial contribution from health services to support complex medical needs in schools. Still under amended HNMF arrangements. Jointly commissioned where appropriate. ON HOLD

5. New Horizons Primary Provision

PW presented the report to the forum, and the following points were noted:

Proposal to remove New Horizons primary provision and use the funding at a reduced rate to make a cost saving and better meet the needs of Warrington children. New Horizons agree the current primary offer isn’t appropriate.

PW to meet with Karen Thomson and Tim Long to look at a broader alternative provision offer in Warrington. It is useful to bring a proposal forward that talks more clearly about what an offer looks like. Wider provision discussions and planning is needed.

Item Action

SRW reported that Karen Thomson is in conversation with the ESFA around their processes that don’t support the local authority in its ability to claw back. This is an issue not unique to Warrington, but across the country. Noted that finances for places are committed until 2020.

It was noted that any change can only be implemented from September 2020, but there is nothing to say we cannot look at a different model in between that period.

There are ongoing negotiations with New Horizons to safeguard places for primary children that meets their needs.

Some primaries have said they would not use the current offer and we need to design something to meet the children’s needs.

It was noted that there will be an offer in place for September 2019.

All proposals have been put on hold pending further discussions.

(i) To cease the base funding of primary places at New Horizons. ON HOLD (ii) To explore further future proposals for Warrington Primary Alternative

Provision to the benefit of Warrington children. ON HOLD (iii) To request New Horizons report to Schools Forum regarding their

justification for Top Up costs and their current offer. ON HOLD

6. Cognition & Learning Designated Provision

Melissa Young (MY) presented the report to the forum which was considering a proposal to remove the Cognition and Learning Designated Provision. Visits have taken place to designated provisions focusing initially on primaries and with conversations with secondaries. A lot of funding has been put into the designated provisions and we wanted to see how they were making the best use of the money, and to give an opportunity to show their strengths in the system.

The visits highlighted that the funding in designated provisions doesn’t just benefit the children placed there, it impacts on the staff and other children within the settings. Very vulnerable children made progress in many different ways, not just academically. Beyond schools preparing these children for life in terms of independence, it showed real benefits of having Cognition and Learning Designated Provisions. It was pleasing to see the fluid links with peer groups and all staff involved, not just DP staff, transferring some of the practice in staff training into mainstream. It was clear that the wider cohort benefited and there are real merits to stay with this system.

Recommendation: (i) Designated Provisions remain in place, but we look carefully at grouping

needs to match expertise within system e.g. those children with additional SEMH or ASD needs within the cognition and learning cohort. AGREED

(ii) Review the children currently in the designated provisions to ensure they are appropriately placed and that needs are appropriately scaled against mainstream pupils. AGREED

Item Action

7. Ending of Education Funded Tracheostomy Contract

There are currently two children in our schools accessing this support. The funding for their tracheostomy support has been negotiated with Health, and from September 2019 they will be picking up the costs. We are currently in the process of transferring the contracts.

PW noted that this links with the High Needs medical funding discussions taking place. It is not an easy conversation, but it is the responsibility of Health to provide for the health needs of these children. It is an offer Health should deliver and they should recruit staff specifically skilled to deliver against the contract, and there is a moral argument about them picking up their responsibilities. There are some concerns within the local authority around cancelling the contract. Noted that ongoing discussions with Health will continue.

8. SALT Contract

PW apologised that a report was not available for the forum, and gave an overview of the situation with the SALT contract. Bridgewater CCG are currently commissioned to deliver against the SALT contract, but this is not meeting our needs and Bridgewater CCG have been issued with a six month notice to cease the contract. It was noted that over the past four years the contract has rolled over without monitoring or review and without performance data.

It was noted that SALT needs to be joined up with different language programmes from early years onwards. SALT colleagues consistently attend Panel and paperwork feeding into the EHCP process has improved.

There are a couple of options to consider: going out to market test for an alternative provider (this is a better financial option and could take 3-6 months), or the local authority could passport the money to schools for them to commission SALT directly themselves. There are no immediate financial savings to be made at the moment, and work is ongoing for reshaping the offer in the future. The local authority have created a specialist SEND commissioning post for a greater understanding of what is needed on an ongoing basis within the system and when going out to market.

REPORT Report to: Schools Forum Item: 5

Date: 25th June 2019 For: Information

Title: School Balances 2018/19

Author: Garry Bradbury Presenter: Garry Bradbury

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 The purpose of this report is to notify Schools Forum of the final individual balances for Warrington maintained schools as at end 2018/19, and compare the overall picture with the corresponding situation in the previous year.

1.2 At the equivalent meeting last year, Schools Forum resolved to set aside the formal balance challenge, in doing so removing the potentiality for any of the calculated ‘excess’ balance to be clawed back. Nevertheless, the triggers in Warrington’s challenge process derived from the recommended Audit Commission balance maxima, so balances recorded in excess of these will be highlighted in this report. The schools affected may still wish, independently, to investigate the circumstances surrounding the accumulation of a hitherto challengeable surplus.

2 SCHOOL BALANCES

2.1 The aggregate of school balances for Warrington maintained schools at the end of the previous financial year was £5,590,860 (an average retention level of 6%). This compares to the corresponding aggregate balance reported at the end of 2017/18 of £4,932,969 (an increase of £657,891). However, this reported figure included the balances of five Local Authority primary schools which converted to Academy status during the last financial year. Therefore, for a more accurate comparison, their balances should be removed from the 2017/18 figure, meaning that the in-year variance is an increase of £976,743.

The overall movements per sector are highlighted below:

Sector 2017/18 (adj) £m 2018/19 £m Movement Primary/Nursery £3.419m £4.164m +£0.745m Secondary £0.354m £0.574m +£0.220m Special & AP £0.841m £0.854m +£0.013m TOTAL £4.614m £5.591m +£0.977m

2.2 As can be seen, balances in all sectors have increased, but proportionately, the greatest change is in the maintained secondary sector (an in-year increase of 62%). In the (much larger) primary phase, the sector aggregate is up by 22%.

Individual school balances are detailed in Appendix 1.

2.3 In terms of discretionary enquiry, 18 primary schools, one secondary, and two special schools recorded balances in excess of the Audit Commission recommendation. These are highlighted with shading in the Appendix.

2.4 All maintained primary and special schools currently buy into the LA Finance Advisory service, so for these schools we have greater analytical detail. The £5.017m of balances in these sectors have been generated as below:

Balance on Main School budgets £4.625 m (6.7%) Balance on Pupil Premium £0.192 m (4.4%) Balance on PE/Sports grant £0.201 m (18.8%)

Current uncommitted balances for 2019/20 stand at £1.931 m (3% of funding, 38% of balances)

RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 Schools Forum is asked to note the level of maintained school balances recorded at the end of 2018/19.

3.2 Schools Forum members representing WAPH and WASCL are asked to consider whether to recommend that schools evaluate internally their closing 2018/19 balances.

REPORT Report to: Schools Forum Item: 6

Date: 25th June 2019 For: Information

Title: Dedicated Schools Grant Outturn Position 2018/19

Author: Garry Bradbury Presenter: Garry Bradbury

INTRODUCTION

1.1 The purpose of this report is to notify Schools Forum of the confirmed outturn position for the retained Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) budgets for 2018/19. This includes whole-school activities and central education functions, but excludes individual school balances, which are reported on separately (Item 5 on this evening’s Agenda).

1.2 The accounts for financial year 2018/19 were closed in mid-April, but have not yet been officially ratified by the LA’s external auditors. Families & Wellbeing Directorate has reported an overspend on DSG of £193,743. This represents, in percentage terms, a deficit balance of 0.18% after accounting for Academy recoupment. However, because Schools Block DSG is 100% committed, with the surpluses and deficits being retained by the schools, the reported overspend is, in practical terms, generated against the other three blocks (Early Years, High Needs and Central Services, totalling £32.248m), where it represents an overspend of 0.6%.

1.3 This final overspend is much reduced from the predicted closing position discussed at previous Schools Forum meetings ; overall spending remains much as projected, but substantial additional resource was identified to improve the balance. This is a combination of external funding – the late addition of extra funding nationally for High Needs (£469K in both 2018/19 and 2019/20) and locally identified resource – transferring £130,000 of uncommitted Early Help funding, and commitment of remaining directorate balances of £173K. By their nature, these local additions are not replicable in future years.

1.4 A deficit position means that there is no funding to be recirculated generally to schools. The deficit is ‘first call’ as a spending pressure for 2019/20, to add to

the budgeted starting deficit of £1.16m (discussed at the last Schools Forum). Members will recall that the Local Authority agreed one-off funding to eliminate last year’s deficit of £1.267m, but no such funding exists to do likewise with this year’s shortfall.

DEDICATED SCHOOLS GRANT BALANCES

2.1 DSG is reporting a net overspend of £0.194 million in 2018/19. This overall position is an aggregate of a number of individual variances. The table below shows those individual balances with appropriate observations:

2.3 Primary representatives on Schools Forum have already agreed that the underspends on dedelegated contingencies (£222,573 pupil number growth, £122,437 additional classes) should be rolled into 2019/20, in lieu of a further dedelegation in this financial year. The DSG deficit accounts for this. The overall balance on other dedelegated services - licences, maternity - was a net overspend of £17,093, so there is no unused balance to return to schools. The 2018/19 underspend on the union facilities agreement was agreed in advance to be carried into the new financial year, to avoid a potential overspend ahead of the reevaluation of the arrangement.

RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 Schools Forum is asked to note the 2018/19 outturn position for DSG, and that this overspend will be aggregated with the 2019/20 projected deficit of £1,160,046.

3.2 Maintained school representatives are asked to note that no additional balances are due to be returned in respect of dedelegated services.

Title: f40 proposals for National Funding Formula

Author: Garry Bradbury Presenter: Garry Bradbury

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Warrington BC is a long-standing member of the f40 group of Local Authorities with historically low levels of education funding. 42 English LAs, responsible for almost 3 million pupils, are represented on this group. Engaging with the issue of funding reform, and with the desire to see greater equity and equality in funding levels across the country, f40 produced costed proposals of a recommended model for a National Funding Formula (NFF) as long ago as March 2016. Unlike the eventual NFF adopted by the Department for Education, which still largely perpetuates the funding inequalities as a consequence of high levels of protection, and a general philosophy of cleaving to averages of current funding, the f40 model was a bottom-up calculation of the estimated actual running costs of schools.

1.2 In April 2019, work was done by f40 to update the values of formula factors to appropriate 2018/19 levels, with estimates for 2019/20. Appendix 1 illustrates the actual NFF funding calculation for Warrington schools, compared with the consequence of applying the recommended formula model. This report explains the current f40 misgivings with NFF (reservations which the LA broadly supports), and discusses how the recommendation could potentially address these shortcomings.

2 f40 View of current NFF

2.1 The group has consistently suggested that the current implementation of NFF is unsatisfactory according to half a dozen general principles:

i.

ii.

iii.

Protection of better-funded schools leaves the gap between the lowest and highest-funded too great, and is a constraint on the true and desired effect of NFF Schools and Local Authorities at the lower funding levels are still capped, meaning that LAs are not in practice able to fund schools using the NFF. The application of Minimum per pupil Funding Levels is unfair, meaning that

3.2

schools with medium levels of deprivation are being funded at the same levels as schools with little deprivation. MppFL is unnecessary if the NFF is properly funded and applied.

iv. Proper consideration should be given to aligning sparsity funding and the additional costs of essential rural schools (this is an issue for many f40 members, if less so ourselves).

v. Clarity is needed about what exactly NFF is trying to achieve. There is no consensus of what the government expects from schools, compared to social care, mental healthcare, and SEND generally.

vi. NFF lacks consideration for fairly funding the cost of inclusiveness in schools, such that settings with excellent High Needs provision are not disadvantaged by the cost of significant numbers of £6K thresholds; this is an important factor in the emerging high needs funding ‘crisis’.

Rather, f40 argues, NFF should be predicated on a clear rationale for distributing the national schools’ budget to local authorities; a distribution geared to improving educational standards across the country rather than perpetuating an inequitable distribution based on average funding values. Key to this is use of a pupil-level core entitlement as the main building block, enabling a school to have access to similar resource levels for a child’s basic classroom costs (share of a teacher and teaching assistant, but reflecting different needs/costs at the various Key Stages.

This would be augmented by factors reflecting pupil-level needs beyond the core entitlement (deprivation, high-incidence SEN, small school factors). Alongside this, a clarity around DfE expectations about what needs (and therefore outcomes) each of these seeks to address

f40 proposal: the specifics

f40 is a firm advocate of local discretion, and much prefers the ‘soft’ formula approach of a core formula generating a local authority level total, with subsequent discretion on how the total is allocated within the area. Obviously this is in opposition to the DfE’s intended direction of travel, and may be the argument the group is least likely to win.

Schools Block to be distributed between local authorities on six formula factors:

• Basic entitlement • Deprivation (based on Ever 6 FSM data ONLY) • Low prior attainment • English as Additional Language (EAL) • Lump Sum • Sparsity

With an area cost, regional adjustment on pupil-led formula factors (not all factors as at present), and a fund to account for exceptional pupil number growth.

3.3 There is no specific funding in the model for premises-related factors, as these are local issues with a spectrum of conditions that a national formula cannot hope to address. DfE has wrestled with the conundrum of how to fund premises other than at historic levels, and seems still no nearer a solution, so the f40 proposal sidesteps this, instead preferring to fund LAs ‘adequately’ within the main body of the formula.

3.4 At a local level, f40 believes that LAs and their Schools Forums should retain the freedom to:

• Add additional factors (eg split sites, leases) • Shift funding between DSG Blocks • Agree dedelegations from LA maintained schools

3.5 Other than that, the fundamental underpinning of the f40’s formula proposal is that it attempts to correct the basic weakness of the NFF – inadequate provision in many LA’s calculated allocations to enable schools to satisfactorily fund their basic operational running costs, even before addressing the needs of vulnerable pupils properly.

3.6 Appendix 2 shows the evolution of the proposal over time. Initially using 2014/15 economic data, it has been incrementally updated to reflect nationally published teacher pay scales, aggregate LA pay scales for specific job roles (eg Teaching Assistants), and Retail Price Index (RPI) for non-staffing commitments.

3.7 Nationally, the aggregated calculation for all English LAs suggests an addition to funding of £2,300 million is required. The effect on Warrington Schools Block funding for 2019/20 would have been an increase of around £14.4m (10.9%). See Appendix 1.

RECOMMENDATIONS

4.1 Schools Forum is asked to note the theoretical basis of the f40 proposal, and the potential impact on Warrington schools.

4.2 Schools Forum members are asked to consider whether the proposals are consistent with funding principles previously discussed in Forum and in the formula working groups, and what, if any, steps can or should be taken to express support for implementation.
