What’s been happening this week at Schools Financial Services

Pupil premium funding allocations and conditions of grant for the financial year 2015 to 2016: Updated January 2016 – available via gov.uk site.

Pupils who are both free school meals (FSM) Ever 6, and recorded as LAC, attract the higher allocation of £1,900 only, which is paid to the local authority (LA) and managed by the authority’s virtual school head. This means that some schools will have seen a reduction in the number of Ever 6 FSM pupils compared to the allocations made in June 2015. The Key to Success website will be updated shortly with details of the pupils attracting LAC funding.

Please make sure you book via CPD Online to secure your place on the training for Budget Setting on the Budget Planning Software (BPS). The training courses will be held throughout March 2016 at various venues throughout Kent.

Don't forget to follow us on Twitter @SFS_Kent for news, updates and info. We understand many primary schools cannot access Twitter so we will still be using KELSI and ebulletins to communicate information in addition to Twitter.
