Flexi schooling and school funding

1 reply

Hello,
I have a technical question and it would be great if anyone has the answer (or could also point me to the relevant legislation).
If the children join in reception and the school agrees to flexi school three days a week (with two days off with me) will the school still get full funding.
I ask because on the primary education board it has been suggested that a part time student will only get part time funding - but I thought there was a funding difference between part time and flexi-schooled.
Thanks!

Government guidance suggests that it's up to the local authority to decide whether or not to give full funding. Flexischooling is not particularly common, but I am aware of one LA which has explicit policy of giving full funding while another LA has policy of pro rata partial funding.
