It was reported the previous government's plans were 'too far down the line now'
Wirral Council has given an update on government plans to change all schools in Merseyside into academies. In 2022, the then-Conservative government announced plans for every school in England to be in or joining an academy trust by 2030. During an audit and risk management Wirral Council committee meeting on October 22, Cllr George Davies said he was involved with two schools that were becoming academies ahead of the previous government’s target.
” The Dedicated Schools Grant is a yearly government grant to fund schools and Mr Bennett said if things continued, the council would no longer be maintaining any schools and there would be a question for what councils do in providing education. He said: “Ultimately it is wait and see.” Papers published ahead of a Wirral schools forum meeting on October 1 regarding funding for schools going into next year said the government is expected to announce school funding soon.
