Agenda item

Coral Miller presented the report outlining the underspend in centrally retained budgets for SBC and Cambridge Education budgets (appendices to report).

Schools Forum agreed that the 14-15 underspend of £60,010 in the Schools Block be carried forward into the Growth Fund in order to reduce the 16-17 budget top slice for growth.

Schools Forum agreed that the Early Years block underspend 2014-15 of £6,597 should remain within Early Years.

Schools Forum noted that the High Needs Block underspend will be used to fund expected growth in High Needs places and top ups in 2016-17 plus any outstanding prior commitments.

For Cambridge Education underspend it was agreed that proposals would be brought to Schools Forum at the next meeting.

It was noted that the Early Years element had already been agreed in item 4 of the agenda (above).
