65 of Lincolnshire’s 334 schools and academies received less in 2022/23
Residents in a Lincolnshire town have called for schools to receive a minimum of £500,000 in Government funding in a bid to save smaller establishments and encourage more to open up.In 22/23, 65 of Lincolnshire’s 334 schools and academies received less than £500,000 – nearly 20%.“This minimum amount would almost cover the fixed costs for small schools such as electric and heating etc. Then they would still get the per pupil amount on top.
At the time Lincolnshire County Council said there were falling pupil numbers and the site was financially unsustainable. Martin Smith, assistant director for education at Lincolnshire County Council, admitted that rural schools “typically” received less than their urban counterparts, and said the authority continued to make representations to central government.
Under the funding criteria, for 2023/24, a primary school can receive up to £56,300, whilst a secondary school can receive up to £81,900.
