RESOLVED;

2.1to agree that the Universal Free School Meal allowance for pupils in Year’s 3-6 be funded at the rates as set out by the Greater London Authority, at a cost of £3.00 per pupil covering 190 days with a take up of 90%.

2.2to agree that whilst this marks a slight change in funding from the previous year, budget constraints set out the parameters for this alteration, and no other methodology would be suitable.

to note:

2.3that Croydon Council have petitioned the Greater London Authority that future funding allocations should be sought covering spring census data for years 2-5, rather than years 3-6 as is currently the case, to more closely reflect the number of children per year where this funding is targeted.
