Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes

Purpose:
Following a period of clarification while drafting the final agreements, it has been identified that the funding agreed needs to be amended.
Decision:
Approve an amendment to the funding agreed in recommendation C in the report presented to Cabinet on 15 July 2025
Reasons for the decision:
To enable the school to convert to academy status on 1 October 2025 the council is required to have completed all agreements by the end of August 2025 to enable these to be signed sufficiently in advance of the conversion and in line with Department for Education (DfE) deadlines.
Alternative options considered:
The funding agreement needs to be amended so that academisation can take place as planned. Any other option would mean that the academisation is delayed leading to further additional costs and uncertainty.
