Purpose

The purpose of the report was to seek approval for the
Council to undertake the Free School Meal and Pupil Premium initiative on a
longer-term basis.

Decision

ORDERED that Executive:

 

1.   
Approve the proposed amendment to the
report.

2.   
Approve the continuation of the Free
School Meals auto enrolment programme for Schools who ‘opt in’. A 10% fee will
be applied for any new pupil premium identified. The fee was intended to cover
the Councils costs in administering the auto enrolment business process. The
Council would write to Schools each year seeking approval from the School to
participate in the auto enrolment initiative.
