Section 251 Statements and the Scheme for Financing Schools

The Scheme governs the financial relationships between the council and its maintained schools.  In addition, we use budget statements to tell schools and the public about our funding plans and outturn statements detail how much we have spent in the previous financial year. The council decides the size of the schools budget before the beginning of each financial year under section 251 of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009.
