Button image  Terms of Reference
  • Review central expenditure to ensure that the LA has sufficient resources to carry out its functions but retains only that which is necessary so that delegation to schools is maximised
  • Develop a better and joint understanding of LA expenditure and explain this more widely with schools to avoid misinformation in the future
  • Compare Kent's expenditure with other LAs
  • Make suggestions on the delegation of funding to schools and the LA central budget
  • To advise the Schools Funding Forum on exercising its power:
    • to approve disproportionate increase in LA central budgets
    • to agree the amounts and purposes for centrally retained contingency
    • to agree to centrally pooled budgets for children’s services
    • to agree central spending on particular budget headings within the schools budget e.g. prudential borrowing, pensions, etc.
  • To advise on retained specific grants and the allocation of grants to schools where not specified by DCSF
