27870157400260Schools Service00Schools Service-914400-91440000INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of these guidance notes is to assist schools in budget setting. Some of the information may need to be revised to take account of changing circumstances. From April 2016 the principal source of information on school spending will be each school’s financial system and we will no longer attempt to reconcile at individual ledger codes information held on school and Council records. All costs will be met from school bank accounts including payroll. Schools will be either invoiced directly for council services or in the case of payroll through direct debits. We will no longer need to send to schools Budget Control Reports which in any event are not as up to date as a school’s own records and no longer will be relevant. Once the schedule of advances of schools’ budget shares and grant payments is set (see above), except in very exceptional circumstances, there will be no need for additional cash advances to schools. Schools will be able to manage their cash flow accordingly.SECTION HYPERLINK \l "ref_1" PAY AWARDSUPPORT AND ADVICETHREE YEAR BUDGETING AND FORECASTING HYPERLINK \l "ref_4" INFLATION FACTORS HYPERLINK \l "ref_5" TEACHING STAFFNON - TEACHING STAFF HYPERLINK \l "ref_7" PREMISES - RUNNING EXPENSES HYPERLINK \l "ref_8" PREMISES - REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE HYPERLINK \l "ref_9" TRANSPORT HYPERLINK \l "ref_10" SUPPLIES AND SERVICES HYPERLINK \l "ref_11" CONTRACTUAL SERVICES HYPERLINK \l "ref_12" INCOME FORECASTING PAY AWARD Teachers PayDetails on schoolteachers pay and conditions for 2015/16 and 2016/17 can be found on the following websites: the 2016 pay awardFollowing the government’s acceptance of the recommendations of the STRB’s 21st - 25th reports, schools now have a very large degree of flexibility to differentiate the remuneration they offer to teachers to reflect various factors, including local recruitment and retention; roles and responsibilities; and specialist qualifications. In its report, last year the STRB reiterated its expectation that it should be for schools themselves to decide the extent to which any uplift to pay ranges and allowances within the national pay framework will apply to their teachers. It was the STRB’s view that uplifts should not be applied automatically to teachers and that any individual pay award needed to take account of performance. The STRB made very clear that it was not intended that the uplifts to the framework should translate into uniform pay increases for every teacher within every school. It is for schools to determine at the institutional level how to take account of the uplifts to pay ranges and allowances in the light of their individual school’s pay policy.There was an uplifting of the current minima and maxima for each of the national pay ranges by 1% in September 2015 this was with two exceptions, a 2% increase to the maximum of the main pay range and no increase to the maxima of the eight head teacher pay group ranges. The effects of these changes are demonstrated here. OfficersThe pay scales from 2015/16 are shown here, at the point of writing these notes it has yet to be confirmed as to whether there will be any pay awards in 2016/17. In addition please note that the schools LGPS employer contribution remains at 22% for 2016/17.SUPPORT AND ADVICEIf your school purchases services from the School Bursarial Team, their officers are able to provide advice on budget setting, and they possess an excel spread sheet to assist schools in setting and profiling budgets. You can also contact Schools Accountancy services for queries relating to budget allocations.SchoolsAccountancyServices@.uk THREE YEAR BUDGET AND FORECASTING To ensure that Schools stay within budget from 2016/17 onwards it is recommended that schools complete 3 year forecasts of spend and budgets so that early action can be taken by schools in response to possible pressures. Further guidance and training will be provide in 2016/17INFLATION FACTORSThe inflation factors used below in these Guidance Notes simply show inflation between December 2014 to December 2015, and are the most up to date measures of inflation at the time of writing these notes. They are simply a guide, but can be applied to your 2015/16 original budgets to give an estimated budget for 2016/17.

Please be aware of the following have applied since September 2014:? the end of pay increases based on length of service ? all teachers’ pay progression will be linked to performance based on annual appraisals ? the abolition of mandatory pay points within the pay scales for classroom teachers to give schools greater freedom on how much teachers are paid. They would remain in place for reference only in the main pay scale to guide career expectations for new teachers entering the profession.You will also need to make an assessment of the additional incremental costs your school will incur. The current pay scales are shown here. For the purposes of setting a budget for 2016/17 we have included projection for September 2016. This includes a 1% increase on all salary points from September 2016 with two exceptions - a 2% increase to the maximum of the main pay range and no increase to the maxima of the eight head teacher pay group ranges. These projection rates are based on the September 2015 pay award.The employer’s superannuation contributions rate for 2016/17 is 16.48% for teaching staff and 22% for non-teaching staff. From April 2016 the existing state pensions and additional state pension will be replaced by the new state pension. The introduction of the new state pension will prevent employees/employers from contracting out and thus receiving the national insurance rebate. As a result the employer NI rate for 2016/17 is 13.8% for all earnings over the secondary threshold (10.40% 2015/16 if opted into pension). For more information please follow the link below: 2015/16 the contracting out rebate between the lower earnings limit and the upper accrual point (?8,112 and ?40,040 respectively) was 3.4% of earnings between the two thresholds.Please note that Heads, Deputy Heads and Assistant Heads, are paid on a spot salary and do not receive an increment automatically.You can obtain the latest employers’ contribution rates for N.I and Superannuation by referring to your payroll provider’s reports, which identifies these on costs for each employee. You may have some members of staff who have chosen to “opt out” of the superannuation scheme, which would reduce your total employers’ contribution. A worked example of how to estimate the cost of a teacher can be found here.Spine for the leadership group in band A (Excl on-costs) – (Currently covering inner London)Spine PointSeptember 2015Projected September 2016 (+1%)?pa?paL1 45,891 46,350 L2 46,861 47,330 L3 47,853 48,332 L4 48,861 49,350 L5 49,901 50,400 L6 50,966 51,476 L7 52,145 52,666 L8 53,177 53,709 L9 54,318 54,861 L10 55,527 56,082 L11 56,776 57,344 L12 57,921 58,500 L13 59,186 59,778 L14 60,479 61,084 L15 61,798 62,416 L16 63,253 63,886 L17 64,539 65,184 L18 65,324 65,977 L18* 65,978 66,638 L19 67,432 68,106 L20 68,923 69,612 L21 69,750 70,448 L21* 70,448 71,152 L22 72,016 72,736 L23 73,613 74,349 L24 74,518 75,263 L24* 75,264 76,017 L25 76,949 77,718 L26 78,672 79,459 L27 79,642 80,438 L27* 80,439 81,243 L28 82,256 83,079 L29 84,115 84,956 L30 86,025 86,885 L31 87,101 87,972 L31* 87,973 88,853 L32 89,974 90,874 L33 92,030 92,950 L34 94,125 95,066 L35 95,330 96,283 L35* 96,284 97,247 L36 98,484 99,469 L37 100,757 101,765 L38 103,063 104,094 L39 104,353 105,397 L39* 105,397 106,451 L40 107,851 108,930 L41 110,365 111,469 L42 112,940 114,069 L43 114,437 115,581 NOTES: 1 - scale point to be used only by schools in Group 1 where it is the maximum value of the head teacher group range for the school 2-8 - scale point to be used only by schools in Groups 2 to 8 respectively where it is the maximum value of the head teacher group range for the school * - scale points to be used unless the above appliesRanges for Head Teachers in band A – (Currently covering inner London) GroupRange of Spine PointsSalary Range Sept 2015Projected Sept 2016*?pa?pa1L6 - L1850,966 – 65,32451,476 – 65,3242L8 - L2153.177 – 69,75053,709 – 69,7503L11 - L2456.776 – 74,51857,344 – 74,5184L14 - L2760.479 – 79,64261,084 - 79,6425L18 - L3165.324 – 87,10165.977 - 87,1016L21 - L3569.750 – 95,33070.448 - 95,3307L24 - L3974.518 – 104,35375.263 - 104,3538L28 - L4382.256 – 114,43783.079 - 114,437*The projection of the maximum of the main pay range for each group has not been increase as per 2015/16 treatment of the maxima.

Listed below is general information you might find useful in compiling non-teaching estimates: Annual Hours - The FTE paid hours is based on 1,820 hours (i.e. 35 hrs x 52 weeks). Term TimeFor school administrators, clerical, general assistants and laboratory technicians working term-time only (i.e. 40 weeks), the number of weeks applied in calculating their annual salary is determined by the length of service and consequent holiday entitlement as follows:Up to 5 years service 47.0 weeksAfter 5 years service 47.6 weeksAfter 10 years service 48.2 weeksThus for an employee with less than 5 years service working 20 hours per week, term-time only, The calculation would be as follows:(Basic Salary + Allowances) x 20 hours p/w x 47.0 weeks 35 hours p/w x 52 weeks For Nursery Nurses, Welfare Assistants, Senior SMSA’s and SMSA’s working term-time only (i.e. 39 weeks), the number of weeks applied in calculating their annual salary is determined by the length of service and consequent holiday entitlement as follows:Up to 5 years service 46 weeks After 5 years service 46.6 weeks and 10 years service 47.2 weeksThus for Welfare assistant with less than 5 years service, is calculated by multiplying the basic salary plus allowances by their contracted hours per week, times 52 weeks and dividing by 35 hours times 52 weeks.The calculation would be as follows: (Basic Salary + Allowances) x 32.5 hours p/w x 46 weeksADVANCE \X 164.65 35 hours p/w x 52 weeksNew Gradings for the purpose of determining whether an employee will be entitled to an increment on 1st?April, you should note the following Scale ranges:Nursery Nurses – Grade 6 - Scale Point 26 to 28Welfare Assistants, LSA & Teaching Asst – Grade 5 - Scale Point 22 to 25Caretaker – Grade 5/6 - Scale Point 22 to 28Asst.

In either case account will need to be taken of future price increases, adjustments made to reflect consumption by caretakers, and shared site usage in order to get the total estimated charge for the year.For calculations with reference to projected meter readings of previous year(s) actual(s) please complete the following table.NOTE: When two or more schools share the same site and there is only one meter, the school in which the meter is located should propose the total estimate and notify the other school(s) on site of the amounts attributable to them together with details of calculation. It is therefore necessary to make adjustment for shared sites. Please complete the following table for shared sites costs:Water RatesThis estimate can be calculated either by reference to (A) rateable value OR (B) metered charge In either case account will need to be taken of future price increases and adjustments made to reflect consumption by caretakers and shared site usage.In order to estimate the total estimate for the year using either of the methods mentioned above please fill in one of the following tables:Premises - Running Expenses – EstimateRATES are funded on the latest information provided by Business Rates Section. Where a school is re-assessed during the year no additional funding will be available from the contingency. However, the difference may be adjusted retrospectively for the previous year in the following year’s formula subject to affordability.INSURANCE Premises, Contents and Third Party – information will be provided by the Council’s Insurance Section, this information will be available in May/June 2016, Schools will be invoiced for insurance charges. If you buy insurance services from Ealing please contact: insurance@.uk. CLEANING the estimated cost of the cleaning expenditure can be ascertained either by: - Under contract – obtaining the expected charge from the contractor or By taking the current actual charge and adding the appropriate inflation rate.PREMISES - REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE - ESTIMATE Schools are responsible for the structural and day to day repair and maintenance of their premises. Therefore, Schools are advised to budget for planned and potential reactive maintenance.

These will be fixed at the start of the year and will not change. Some of the estimates for income are either yet to be determined by the Education Funding Agency (EFA) or may vary during the year due to changes in pupils attending a school. This section includes information on how schools may make their own estimates for grant income.From 2016/17 all schools funding outside of the Schools block funding (Reception to Year 11) as well as the High Needs place factor funding for places will be received by schools as grant income therefore schools will need to load budget and produce forecasts for this income including: HYPERLINK \l "ref_a" Pupil Premium Grant HYPERLINK \l "ref_b" Early Years Pupil Premium Grant HYPERLINK \l "ref_c" Early Years Single Funding Formula HYPERLINK \l "ref_d" Universal Free School Meals HYPERLINK \l "ref_e" Sports Premium Grant HYPERLINK \l "ref_f" Year 7 Catch Up Grant HYPERLINK \l "ref_g" EFA Funding – Sixth Form Funding HYPERLINK \l "ref_h" EFA Funding – Sixth Free School Meals HYPERLINK \l "ref_i" Growth Fund HYPERLINK \l "ref_j" SEN support fund HYPERLINK \l "ref_k" High Needs Top UpPupil Premium GrantFor information please refer to: fill in the following table:* The pupil premium for 2016 to 2017 will include pupils recorded in the January 2016 school census who are known to have been eligible for free school meals (FSM) since May 2010, as well as those first known to be eligible at January 2016.Schools have access to a searchable pupil premium database which you can access via secure access: allows you to enter a list of UPNs and find out if they were eligible for the pupil premium in 2015/16 and the reason for eligibility (ie whether they were eligible for the deprivation element or eligible for another reason (LAC, adopted from care, service child). For primary schools this will give a reasonably good estimate of your pupil premium but in the case of high schools the dataset may over-state the number of eligible pupils as some pupils may have been “Ever 6” for a number of years in their previous schools.As the LAC element is now ever LAC and 6 year FSM6 period would cover eligibility at any stage since reception, a child who was eligible in 2015/16 should also be eligible in 2016/17.You could use the searchable database to search your latest Y1 to Y11 pupil list and find out which children will be eligible – this will tell you both about those who were in your school in Jan 2015 and any new arrivals that came from another school.The searchable database will not include your reception children or any new arrivals from overseas since Jan 2015 so you would need to then check whether they have been flagged on SIMS as eligible for FSM in the period between joining your school and January 2016 to know which ones will attract pupil premium funding. Similarly if you know that any of the children are LAC.Early Years Pupil PremiumFrom January 2016, the DfE will use the school census and early years census to collect information on: how many eligible children in your area are taking up their entitlement to EYPP The eligibility criteria these children meetThe DfE will use this data to calculate how much funding we give each local authority in future financial years.In 2016/17 Ealing will fund all eligible early years’ providers in your area at the national rate of 53p per hour per eligible pupil. This equates to ?302.10 per child who takes up the full 570 hours in 2016/17.For more information on Early years pupil premium please refer to: Years Single Funding FormulaAll children in England and Wales are entitled to 15 hours of free nursery education per week, 38 weeks a year from the term after their third birthday until they reach statutory school age.Statutory guidance states that the formula should be constructed of either a single base rate for all providers or a number of base rates differentiated by type of provider according to unavoidable cost differences. The formula must include a deprivation supplement for three and four year olds, but is not required to do so for two year olds.* In addition to the above hourly rates there is also an additional allocation of ?120 per annum for deprivation funding. This funding is allocated based on the 25% most deprived postcodes of the children attending provision as at the previous year’s January census.**A premises allocation is also allocated, based on a standard rate of ?180 (?0.315x38 weeksx15 hours) per child. The number of eligible pupils is based on the average number of children in the Summer, Autumn and Spring counts.

At the point of writing these notes the 2016/17 EFA funding letter has yet to be produced, although provisional guidance on 2016/17 rates can be found below: Funding Sixth Form – Free MealsIf your school provides free sixth form meals, please see below for further information: fill in the following table:Growth Fund and new schoolsThe regulations require new schools to be funded through the formula for forecast pupil numbers that will join a school in the September of each financial year. The proposed rules of the growth fund are:Primary Schools?60,000 per additional 30 places (pro-rated) for Reception increases agreed by the LA for the September intake (for infant and primary schools) and Year 3 (Junior Schools); andWhere building works are required and agreed by the LA costing in excess of ?2m, ?15,000 a year for two financial years, the timing of the release Gof funding will be following the approval of statutory proposals or the increase in the school’s planned admission number where statutory proposals are not required. Funding may be released earlier at the discretion of the LA. High Schools?75,000 per 30 additional places for planned expansion in places agreed by the LA, pro-rated Where building works are required and agreed by the LA costing in excess of ?2m, ?15,000 a year for two financial years, the timing of the release of funding is following the approval of statutory proposals or the increase in the school’s planned admission number where statutory proposals are not required. Funding may be released earlier at the discretion of the LA. In both sectors, in exceptional cases, for example where additional furniture, learning resources or support staff costs are required which cannot be charged to capital, a case may be made to the LA for additional revenue funding up to a maximum of ?15,000 one-off payment. Diseconomy funding for new maintained schools will be provided on the same basis as the DfE fund free schools and academies.SEN Support fundThe SEN support fund will be retained for 2016/17, as discussed at the October meeting of the Forum. It is proposed to review the fund’s rules for 2017-18. The rules are:Funding will be provided from the High Needs block to support schools with a disproportionately high proportion of children with statements of SEN. A school will be eligible for support if: the number of statements SEN on the October Schools Census is greater than 1.5% for primary schools and 2.0% for high schools of its school roll (Year R to Year 11) ORthe total cost of the first ?6,000 of each statement exceeds 21% for a primary school and 24% for a high school of its notional SEN BudgetFunding is determined by whichever option provides the highest level of support. The total funding will be capped to no more that the allocation for 2015-16. The data used to calculate allocations is that recorded by the SEN Service.For example, School X is a primary school:Option 1School X has 400 pupils and 3% have SEN statements in a year, i.e. 12 pupils. Support is calculated as follows: 400 x (3% - 1.5%) = 6 pupils x ?6,000 = ?36,000.Option 2School X has a notional SEN Budget of ?180,000 and a total ?6K of ?72,000 (12 x ?6,000) which is 40% of its notional SEN Budget. Support is calculated as follows:?180,000 x (40% - 21%) = ?34,200.School receives support of ?36,000 as option 1 provides more support than option 2.The overall SEN support fund is capped to a maximum across all schools of ?0.583m. the final fund allocation is notified in February preceding the financial yearBelow is the link for 2016/17 allocations (appendix 6): Needs Top UpTop Up Calculator Guide1Always ensure that the correct financial year is inputted into the sheet, located top left.2The total spend and FTE for the entire table are situated on the top middle of the sheet.3Use the legend to check what type of cell needs information added to it.4Some columns auto-generate results, you can see the formulas but cannot edit them. 5If a cell displays #Value, then you will need to ensure that you have input all relevant data correctly into the corresponding boxes, and that data is in the format required.6For the pro-rata sum to work, you need to have filled in the full attendance of the child/young person and a cost 7You can add any comments you like in the comments box at the end of the table.8FTE = Full Time EquivalentNOTE: For more guidance on the high needs top up please contact: senas@.uk ................
