Issue - meetings

To approve as a correct record the minutes of the meeting of 18 January 2018.

Arising from the minutes, the following points were discussed:

• Page 6 – It was confirmed that the funding policy for new schools would be brought to the Schools Forum at a future meeting. The performance data requested would be presented at the June meeting.
• Page 7 – it was requested whether the wording of “Vast majority” of responses supported the proposals made to changes to early years funding, could be replaced with the actual percentage in agreement.

(Action: Paul Clark to provide figures. Now confirmed as at least 67%)

• Page 8 – It was questioned whether future successful appeals to Binfield Learning Village (BLV) would affect funding. It was confirmed that BLV would not receive additional funding from BFC for places over 120 pupils. It was noted that the appeals process could cause turbulence and disruption to other local schools.
• Appeals information as well as admissions data to date was requested to be included in the school places report that would be presented in June.
