We've signed up to The HALO Code, have you? ## Director's Meeting with Chairs and Vice Chairs – 8th February 2024 ## School Budgets 2024/25 ===== PAGE 3 ===== ## Dedicated Schools Grant 2024-25 ## December 2023 DFE announce Dedicated Schools Grant for 2024-25 - 3.7% increase • Schools Block - £333m (MSAG included) - 3% increase • Central School Services Block - £2.5m – 4.9% increase • High Needs - £77.6m – 3% increase • Early Years - £45.5m – 44% increase ===== PAGE 4 ===== ## School Funding 2024-25 • Schools Budget Share are calculated using DFE's Authority Proforma Tool (APT). • APT uses October 23 census data Barnet mirrors National Formula Funding rates The schools forum agreed the budget share calculation for financial year 2024-25 on 11 January 2024 • APT was submitted to DFE on 19^{th} January. Local authority has emailed all schools their final budget shares this week. ===== PAGE 5 ===== ## Notional SEN Budget The Notional SEN budget is not a separate budget nor an additional source of funding. It is an identified amount within a maintained school's delegated budget share. This budget applies only to pupils in reception through to year 11. The budget is intended as a guide for a school's spending decisions, and is neither a target nor a constraint on a school's duty to use its 'best endeavours' to secure special provision for its pupils with SEN. The Notional SEN budget contributes towards the costs of special educational provision for pupils with high needs (most of whom will have EHCPs) and up to the high needs cost threshold set by the regulations (currently £6,000 per pupil per annum). ===== PAGE 6 ===== ## Notional SEN Budget Calculation Local authorities uses NFF pupil led factors in arriving at the notional SEN budget. There is currently no national approach to calculating notional budget for pupils with SEN through the NFF. Below are the NNF factors and percentages used by Barnet to calculate the notional SEN budget.

	Notional SEN (%)
1) Basic Entitlement (AWPU)	4.50%
2.a) Deprivation - Free School Meals	20%
2.b) Deprivation - IDACI	20%
3) English as an Additional Language (EAL)	100%
4) Mobility	100%
5) Low prior attainment	20%

===== PAGE 7 ===== ## Fair Share • Schools may experience a significant mismatch between the notional SEN budget and their actual cost of SEN support due to various reasons. Fair Share attempts to elevate some of that pressure by providing additional funding to schools going into deficit and using more than 60% of their notional send budget to meet element 2 of EHCP pupils (including out-of-borough pupils). The spend over 60% is given as a supplement. This ensures that at least 40% of the Notional SEN budget is available for pupils with SEN support. ===== PAGE 8 ===== ## Fair Share ## Funding Example

	Total		Element 2
	Mainstream		£6,000 used for pupils with EHCPs	% of SEN Notional for EHCPs	60% Threshold [d] = [b] * 60%	Additional Funding [c] - [d]
	EHCPs including OOB placements [a]	Notional SEN Budget [b]	[c] = [a] * £6,000	[c] / [b]	90,000	30,000
School A	20	150,000	120,000	80%	180,000	-
School B	25	300,000	150,000	50%	180,000	-

===== PAGE 9 ===== ### School Funding 2024-25 (Cont.) ## Early Years ## Funding is allocated to following age groups - the universal 15 hours entitlement for all 3 and 4-year-olds • the additional 15 hours entitlement for eligible working parents of 3 and 4-year-olds - the 15 hours entitlement for disadvantaged 2-year-olds - the 15 hours entitlement for eligible working parents of children from 9 months to 2 years old (new entitlement from 1 September 2024) - the 15 hours entitlement for eligible working parents of 2-year-old children (new entitlement from 1 April 2024) ## Additional funding maintained nursery school (MNS) supplementaryary funding for 3 and 4-year-olds - the disability access fund (DAF) for eligible children accessing the early years entitlements - the early years pupil premium (EYPP) for each hour an eligible child takes up any of the early years entitlements, up to a maximum of 570 hours (15 hours per week) ===== PAGE 10 ===== ### School Funding 2024-25 (Cont.)

===== PAGE 11 ===== ### School Funding 2024-25 (Cont.) ## Early Years • 95% pass-thorough rate is extended to the new under 2-year-olds of working parents funding as well. local authorities are required to have a disadvantaged 2-year-old rate that is at least equal to their rate for 2-year-old children of working parents Currently, the LA is consulting with the settings on 2024-25 early years funding rates. The deadline for responding to the consultation is 9th February. • Final rates are to be announced on the week starting 19^{th} of February. ===== PAGE 12 ===== ## Licensing Deficits A school must apply for a licensed deficit if it is unable to produce a financially balanced budget. (Application forms will be emailed to schools this week) - A licensed deficit is the amount agreed by the school and the Local Authority, which the school allowed to overspend in the current financial year. Only the financial year 2024-25 deficit will be licenced. The approval is be based on the three-year recovery plan and the detailed action plan provided. • A school cannot assume that approval will be automatically given. If a request for a license deficit is declined, the local authority will contact the Head Teacher and the Governing Body to discuss the next steps. ===== PAGE 13 ===== ## Cash Advances Some schools, not all, with deficits will require a cash advance to meet their day-to-day financial commitments. • Cash advance is not additional funding; it's an advance on the school's current budget share allocation. • Schools that require a cash advance must submit a formal application. ===== PAGE 14 ===== ## Redundancies If a school is considering redundancy as the last resort in dealing with its budget deficit, the school can apply to the local authority to contribute towards the cost of redundancy. The schools must notify and discuss any proposals to restructure and reduce staffing levels with the local authority at the earliest opportunity and before any consultations. The local authority may refuse or only partially reimburse: • if a school has decided to offer more generous terms than the authority's policy • if a school acts outside the local authority's policy. - the local authority does not believe that redundancies are necessary to either set a balanced budget or meet the conditions of a licensed deficit. ===== PAGE 15 ===== ## Schools Financial Value Standard LA Maintained Schools must submit the SFVS to the LA annually LA uses the information to inform its program of Internal Audit and regularity • Schools must submit the SFVS to the LA no later than 31 March 2024 LA must submit the assurance statement to the DFE no later than 31 May 2024 ===== PAGE 16 ===== # Schools Financial Value Standard Guidance # Schools financial value standard (SFVS) and assurance statement This guidance helps schools and local authorities meet basic standards for good financial health and resource management.

===== PAGE 19 ===== ## School Budgets 2024/25 - some light Schools Forum agreed use of DSG Reserves for: New arrivals - Schools Forum agreed to use up to £1m of DSG reserves to fund new arrivals who are asylum seekers plus new arrivals from Hong Kong, Israel and Gaza, who arrive after the October Census. We've asked schools to submit their claim forms after 31 March 2024, as we've arranged to pay in two instalments for 2023/24– Post-Census Autumn / Spring term and Summer term. Use this fund for urgent support, where needed, to better identify their additional needs and the provision they require to meet those needs at the time of their admission. Make additional payments to schools who have a disproportionate number of these pupils (for schools who accommodate 5-10 pupils an additional £10,000 and a further £10,000 for every additional 10 pupils after this). Also fund a system for pupils with complex SEND without recourse to EHCNA/EHCP. ===== PAGE 20 ===== ## School Budgets 2024/25 - some light Schools Forum agreed use of DSG Reserves for: Emergency Repairs – Schools Forum agreed to use £200k to support an increasing number of LA maintained schools who are being faced with urgent repairs to their buildings which are not able to be funded by their own school budgets due to their own budgetary restraints. Paying for such repairs from the school budget would mean that their projected deficit grows leading to difficulties in achieving a balanced position at the end of three years. A proposal for funding would be considered if the following criteria were met: The school buildings are maintained by the LA The school does not have the necessary funds to meet these repair costs i.e. they are in a deficit position or these repairs would place the school into deficit The repairs are deemed essential (by the LA) and are exceptional and unforeseen The repairs are not the result of ineffective maintenance by the school The repairs are not covered by the funding the schools get directly for maintenance and repair (Devolved Capital Funding) □ It is a revenue cost and cannot be capitalised The £200,000 allocated for the year has not been used up ===== PAGE 21 ===== ## School Budgets 2024/25 - some light Schools Forum agreed de-delegated funds from DSG for: • Redundancies – The centrally held school contingency is for unforeseen circumstances when the school’s budget share was initially determined; an example of the use of contingencies would be the funding of additional NNDR (business rate) costs following a re-valuation. Financial support for schools making redundancies in order to recover a deficit is also funded from here. Schools continue to face financial challenges and are likely to depend on the support of the contingency pot. The contingency is held at £0.460m ===== PAGE 22 =====

An Introduction to

# The Early Years Expansion and Wraparound Childcare ===== PAGE 44 ===== ## Future provision summary Entitlements: Eligible working parents in England will be able to access 30 hours of free childcare per week, for 38 weeks a year, from when their child is 9 months old to when they start school. Govt will also increase the hourly rate for providers. Wraparound: The government will invest £289m over two academic years, from Sept 2024, to enable schools and local authorities to set up wraparound childcare provision Market reforms, including more choice for childminders and changes to EYFS requirements, to improve flexibility for providers and support the workforce.

Changing staff: child ratios from 1:4 to 1:5 for two-year-olds in England to align with Scotland and provide greater flexibility for providers Childminder grants to attract people to childminding, with £1200 for those who register with a childminder agency and £600 for those who register with Ofsted Universal Credit reforms will pay childcare support up-front when parents move into work or increase their hours and increase the monthly re-imbursement caps ===== PAGE 45 ===== ## The Timeline of Change The Government are extending childcare to support more parents returning to work after their parental leave ends. By September 2025, working parents of all children over the age of nine months will be entitled to 30 hours of childcare. So that schools, nurseries and childminders can prepare to deliver such a major expansion, it will be rolled out in phases: From April 2024, working parents of 2-year-olds will be able to access 15 hours childcare. From September 2024, 15 hours childcare will be extended to all working families with children the term after 9 months From September 2025, working parents of children under the age of 5 will be entitled to 30 hours childcare per week. ===== PAGE 46 ===== ## Supply of Early Years Places in Barnet We asked providers how many places they are currently offering to 0-4 year olds and how many places they have available for each age group. The table below shows the responses from 259 providers offering funded childcare:

	Places Offered			Places Available
	For 0–2-year-olds	For 2-year-olds	For 3–4-year-olds	For 0–2-year-olds	For 2-year-olds	For 3–4-year-olds
Childminder	203	196	177	66	57	68
PVI	727	1158	1745	193	324	482
Schools	32	265	1791	0	44	372
Grand total	968	1627	3722	260	427	923

Please note. These figures represent the minimum number of places offered/available as not all providers completed our survey ===== PAGE 47 ===== ## Early Years Hourly Rate Consultation The changes to the hourly rates were presented to schools Forum on the 11th January 2024. Changes were agreed in principal but we are currently obtaining the views of Barnet's Early Years Providers. The proposed hourly rates are:

Entitlement	Proposed hourly rate
3 and 4 year-old working	£6.23
2 year old working	£9.21
2 year old disadvantaged	£9.59
9 month to 2 year old working	£12.54

## National Wraparound Programme ===== PAGE 50 ===== ## Wraparound programme overview

The government is investing £289 million to support the expansion of wraparound childcare for primary school-aged pupils.

The government's ambition is for all parents of primary school children who need it to be able to access childcare in their local area from 8am – 6pm. This will help to ensure that parents have enough childcare to work full time, more hours and with flexible hours.

This funding will support local authorities to work with primary schools and private, voluntary and independent providers including childminders to introduce or expand childcare provision between 8am and 6pm and enable them to test flexible ways of providing childcare and gather evidence of what works.

Parents of primary school aged children will still be expected to pay to access this provision, as this programme aims to increase the availability of childcare, rather than subsidise childcare, but support with costs will be available to eligible parents through Universal Credit childcare and Tax Free Childcare.

Parents should expect to see an expansion in the availability of wraparound care from September 2024, with every parent who needs it able to access term-time wraparound childcare by September 2026. ===== PAGE 51 ===== ## Delivery models: provision does not just have to happen in schools, but schools do have a role to signpost parents to local provision

## School-based provision, delivered by school Delivered by school staff on school site, open to all children in that school.

## Private provider-run provision, on or off school site Operated and delivered by staff employed by private provider. If on school site, they may pay school to operate wraparound provision on their premises and advertise via school channels. Could operate on other sites too.

## Community model Local authority co-ordinates a community-focused cluster / hub model, with children from multiple schools on one site. Not necessarily linked to any one school. Run by private provider, community organisation or any other appropriate body.

## Childminders Provision delivered by childminders, signposted to parents by local authority and schools. Could be a group of CMs working together on a single/community site.

## Other EY providers Existing EY providers may take older children (i.e. of school-age) during wraparound hours. For example, a play group operating on a school site may run the provision, or a local nursery. ===== PAGE 52 ===== # Creating places and the hours that parents need for wraparound childcare Funding is available for providers to create additional places and ensure existing places are available for the hours that are required, to:

## Expand expanding the number of places where provision exists but not meeting demand. expanding the time that provision is available (if not already from 8am to 6pm) where financial support is needed to do this (unless evidence to suggest right hours are different for that locality).

## Create creating new provision and places where these don't currently exist (these should be offered 8-6 unless evidence to suggest right hours are different for that locality)

Test new approaches, where traditional models of wraparound may not support sustainable provision to identify what works in their local area and identify the level of risk. ===== PAGE 53 ===== ## Use of funding The programme funding aims to remove key barriers to setting up new provision or expanding current provision. By providing funding upfront ('pump prime funding') we aim to remove/minimise the financial risk that is often a barrier to setting up or expanding provision. The programme funding is tapered over 5 terms. This reflects the expectation that as take-up of provision increases, and therefore income from parental payments increases, the level of grant funding needed to contribute to running costs to ensure sustainability reduces. Programme funding can be used to cover costs including:

Staffing

Training, including specialist training for staff to ensure they feel equipped to support children with additional needs

Transport costs such as minibus hire (not purchase, although capital funding could be used for this)

Resources Running costs whilst demand builds, to remove any financial risk to providers of offering additional places before demand is guaranteed Capital funding (provided separately) can be used so providers can ensure that inclusive provision is set up from the beginning, by using it to establish inclusive spaces and buy inclusive equipment and resources. Further details are available in the Wraparound Programme Handbook ===== PAGE 54 ===== ## Current SUPPLY of wraparound provision in Barnet Out analysis found that... • 39% of Barnet schools currently provide full wraparound care (8am-6pm) • 53% currently provide some wraparound care Of the schools that offer ‘some wraparound’ care, over half provide care from 8am to 5:30pm or later. • 8% currently provide no wraparound care. These findings show that there is currently a good level of wraparound provision in Barnet. To ensure we can continue to support all working families we would like to work together and extend what's available. ===== PAGE 55 ===== ## Current DEMAND of wraparound provision in Barnet (Parent Survey Findings)

===== PAGE 56 ===== ## How to get involved? There are a number of steps involved in setting up new or expanding existing wraparound childcare provision, including registering with Ofsted or a childminder agency, which your local authority can support with. As set out in the programme handbook, all childcare providers who want to take part in the programme, regardless of whether they are schools, private or voluntary organisations, or childminders, should: • Work collaboratively with local authorities. • Respond to data collection requests from local authorities promptly. Adhere to statutory guidance, including to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. • Ensure their provision is inclusive and has considered the needs of all children, including those with SEND and additional needs. • Where appropriate, promote availability of government childcare subsidies to parents, including Tax-Free childcare and Universal Credit childcare element. For more details inc guidance and resources see Childcare Choices Where in receipt of funding for the programme comply with funding and assurance requirements as set out in the funding agreement with their local authority. • Deliver provision that aligns with the quality principles, including the requirement for all private, voluntary and independent (PVI) providers to be Ofsted registered, or in the case of childminders, to be registered with Ofsted or a childminder agency.
