The Chair of Council has agreed that this item will be exempt from Scrutiny call-in.

 

The Cabinet Member is RECOMMENDED to

 

a)    Approve the final funding formula for 2025/26 for submission to DfE

 

This follows consultation with the Schools Forum which agreed that OCC will continue to fund schools at the National Funding Formula level. Any surplus funding as a result of the application of the APT will be used to support mainstream schools in their approaches to inclusion.
