Impact of new funding formula for Cambridgeshire schools
There will be winners and losers in terms of cash for Cambridgeshire schools. General concerns are…
- Impact on small schools as money is moved to targeted work
- For some schools the baseline funding is insufficient to keep the school running
- Little consideration for expected growth in population in this area
- Little consideration that costs are increasing
- Reduced capacity for partnership working
