Funding pressures
• Pay rises and general inflation - unfunded• Teachers pensions - employer contribution rose
2.38% from September 2015 - unfunded• NI - employer contributions increased by 3.4%
between £5568 and £40040 - unfunded• For academies: reduction of Education Support
Grant (ESG) from £140 to £87 per pupil – (down to zero by 2020)
• Apprenticeships levy – April 2017

Reality check!
• Between 1998 - 2009 school funding increased by approx. 5% each year
• Between 2010 - 2015 school funding increased by approx. 0.6%
• IFS “ school funding per pupil is likely to fall by about 8% in real terms between 2015 - 2020 “

National Funding Formula (NFF)• The government will introduce the first ever national funding
formula for schools, high needs and early years……….
• ………..There will be a transitional phase to help smooth the implementation of the new schools formula. ..
£500 million additional core funding to speed up the transition to NFF for those who will gain

Schools national funding formula
• School funding will be delivered by a national funding formula from 2017/18. Local authorities will distribute funding for the first two years. It will be directly allocated to schools from 2019-20
• 11 of the 14 factors currently used in local formulae, plus a new factor to address in-year pupil growth. The proposal is that this ‘gets funding straight to schools’, is transparent and will remove local variation
• 2nd consultation (imminent) – schools must engage

Schools in financial difficulties
Major issues identified include :-
• Contact ratio too low (target 0.78)• High average teacher costs• High leadership costs• Running uneconomic groups (mainly but not only post-16)• Support staff deployment/Teachers doing support staff jobs• Not strategically planning their finances (doing things on a
year by year basis)• Using reserves (where they have them) badly• Not making difficult decisions • Not making decisions early enough
![Page 13: the leading voice for education · •CPD-accessible and relevant ... •For academies: reduction of Education Support Grant (ESG)from £140 to £87 per pupil –(down to zero by](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060214/5f0575bb7e708231d4131238/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Other lessons learntExplore option for greater efficiencies
• Benchmarking• Energy costs – 2nd highest cost after staffing• Procurement processes and tendering• Economies of scale – MATs and federations• Shared services/shared contracts
Necessary – but playing at the margins?
DfE view is that schools are not good at efficiency savings

We can’t continue to perpetuate the past
• Which means a step change in management thinking is required – understanding the financial reality
• Sometimes called:-

Action required….
• Review staffing structure – again? (difficult decisions)• Curriculum options – teach mixed year groups? • Collaborative purchasing/benchmarking• Sensible purchasing - buying resources at Aldi prices
(not Waitrose)• Ensure a common language within SLT – spread
understanding of financial targets • Explore options for serious income generation
