Anyone know how much their school gets? How will you be affected?
Never thought that the chancellor would be helpful to us this autumn but the announcement of a new national funding formula in 2017 may save the playing fields and the drama department, for starters!
The dcs' school is in the "bottom ten area" for average funding per child, getting just over £4200 per child. Although not a parent governor I have been involved in meetings looking at how to make savings and we were really contemplating selling the playing fields as wouldn't be able to pay staff by next summer . I hope we will be able to hang on in there until 2017. There are no extras in the school, no fripperies, absolutely nothing more could have been pared down except subjects - the head of Drama thought she would lose her department next year. The Music department also worried.
Anyone in the know who thinks we could run a deficit for a year somehow until the new formula comes in?
