We want your views on changes to the School Funding (Wales) Regulations 2010, the Education (Budget Statements) (Wales) Regulations 2002 and the Education (Outturn Statements) (Wales) Regulations 2003.
Consultation description
We are considering potential changes to several Regulations relating to school funding, school budget statements and outturn statements.
The changes are designed to:
- provide greater flexibility to allow local authorities to better support schools to manage their school budgets
- provide greater transparency, comparability and consistency in the system, to allow informed budget discussions at all levels
This consultation is gathering stakeholder views which will inform new Regulations. These will amend and merge the School Funding (Wales) Regulations 2010, the Education Budget Statements (Wales) Regulations 2002 and the Education (Outturn Statements) (Wales) Regulations 2003 into one set of Regulations.
