It comes following Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ budget on October 30.
Nottinghamshire County Council will have to find a new way to fund the academisation of schools after a Government grant was cut. The authority’s cabinet met earlier this week to discuss its finances following Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ budget on October 30.
It means they receive funds directly from central government, rather than local councils, and have more autonomy over things like curriculum. In the meeting, Cllr Sam Smith , portfolio holder for education, raised concerns because Whitehall will discontinue support of up to £25,000 to help with the process of converting to an academy
Converting to academy status means benefits for schools, such as professional development for staff, education quality assurance and trust support. Cllr Smith said: “The consequences of the government cuts are massive on council services – I think Rachel Reeves and the Education Secretary haven’t taken that into account.
