CHANGES IN PUPIL NUMBERS FOR ACADEMIC YEAR 2003/04

In accordance with Norfolk’s Scheme for Financing Schools, I enclose the following forms, which could enable schools to claim for additional funding for the 2005/06 financial year. If your school is eligible for any of the following, please complete the relevant form(s), and return to me by Friday, 5 November 2004.

Pupil Turbulence (Appendix A)

For those schools with large numbers of pupil movements during the 2003/04 academic year. Schools will receive funding for each joiner and each leaver above 10% of the January 2004 PLASC Return.

Temporary/Seasonal Increase (Appendix B)

This factor compensates those schools for temporary increases in pupil numbers not recorded on the January 2004 PLASC Return. Schools are eligible when a pupil attends school for at least 20 consecutive days, excluding training days and half term breaks.

It should be noted that schools qualifying for more than one of these factors are only eligible for the factor that is most beneficial to them.

If you have any queries regarding this, please contact me on the above number or Martin Brock on (01603) 222432.

Yours sincerely

Karl Murphy-Barnes
