Cessation of Dol y Moch Remissions Budget Contributions from the Council Report of the Executive Director, People Minutes: The Cabinet Member considered a report of the Executive Director, People that sought approval to the cessation of Dol y Moch Remissions Budget Contributions from the City Council. The 1996 Education Act set out the law on charging for school activities. This applied to schools maintained by local authorities in England and academies (including free schools, studio schools and UTCs). All schools were required to have charging and remissions policies, which complied with the guidance and were approved by Governors. In relation to residential trips, parents who were in receipt of certain benefits (as set out in the DFE Guidance: Charging for School Activities, November 2013) were exempt from paying the board and lodging costs. For many years the Council had subsidised schools to enable more deprived or vulnerable pupils to participate in activities at the Dol y Moch residential centre through the remissions budget. The City Council did not fund any other remissions for other activities. With the advent of pupil premium, schools now had access to funding to support vulnerable pupils, therefore it was proposed to cease this funding with effect from April 2015.
RESOLVED that the Cabinet Member (Education) approves the cessation of the Dol y Moch remissions funding from the City Council from April 2015. |
