REPORT TO THE SCHOOLS FORUM
Retained Schools Budget and Forecast Outturn 2007-08
10 March 2008
1. Purpose of the Paper and Introduction
The purpose of the paper is to provide members with information on the
forecast outturn position of the 2007/08 Retained Schools Budget as at 31
December 2007. This is illustrated by the variance to budget position
included within the paper.
The Schools Budget is made up of the Individual Schools Budget, which is
delegated to schools via the Funding Formula and the Retained Schools
Budget. This is retained by the Authority to provide education services to
Manchester schools and pupils, partly through devolving funding to
schools and partly through central expenditure.
2. Forecast Outturn
The following table below summarises the forecast outturn, illustrated by
variance to budget, by service area. Explanations for the larger variances
are included.
