Notts schools face funding squeeze, audit flags concerns

This week in Nottinghamshire:

Schools Face Funding Squeeze as High Needs Costs Rise

The Nottingham City Council Schools Forum met to discuss critical financial challenges, including a growing deficit in the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) and the proposed schools budget for 2025-261. The forum also received an update on the Mental Health Improving Attendance Team (MIAT), which is working to support students struggling with school attendance due to mental health reasons. Link to the meeting

  • DSG Deficit: The forum was warned that the Dedicated Schools Grant is facing substantial incremental pressures, particularly within the High Needs Block (HNB). Rising costs in alternative provision and exclusions are projected to create a deficit of £0.601 million by the 2027-28 fiscal year.
  • High Needs Block Pressures: Several factors are contributing to the HNB deficit, including an increase in permanently excluded pupils requiring costly Alternative Provision (AP), a rise in requests for High-Level Needs (HLN) funding, growth in Post 16 provision requests, and greater use of Independent and Non-Maintained Special Schools (INMSS) due to a lack of places within the city.
  • Schools Budget 2025-26: The forum discussed the proposed schools budget for 2025-26, which incorporates the impact from the Dedicated Schools Grant. The government announced an additional £2.3 billion for mainstream schools and young people with high needs in the October 2024 Budget, increasing the National Funding Formula (NFF) by 2.23% per pupil on average.
  • Mental Health Support: The Mental Health Improving Attendance Team (MIAT) presented its first review, highlighting its work with 36 schools to support children struggling with attendance due to mental health reasons. The MIAT has worked with 91 cases in 19 weeks, with 58% of closed cases resulting in a return to education.

The financial pressures on the DSG, particularly the High Needs Block, could have significant implications for vulnerable students, potentially leading to reduced support services and fewer resources for those with special educational needs.

Audit Committee Flags Concerns Over Governance and Financial Controls

The Nottingham City Council Audit Committee convened to discuss critical reports on treasury management, internal audit, and external audit planning2. The committee's discussions highlighted ongoing concerns about the council's governance, risk management, and internal controls, as well as the challenges of ensuring financial stability. Link to the meeting

  • External Audit Plan: The External Audit Annual Plan 25/26, presented by Laurelin Griffiths, Auditor at Grant Thornton, identified significant risks requiring special audit consideration, including management override of controls, fraudulent revenue and expenditure transactions, and valuation of land, buildings, and pension liabilities.
  • Internal Audit Opinion: The Internal Audit Annual Report & Opinion assessed the council's framework of governance, risk management, and internal control as Limited for 2024/25. The report highlighted a significant number of issues related to a failure to apply existing controls, governance issues identified in the Annual Governance Statement, ongoing issues identified by Ofsted monitoring visits, and significant weaknesses highlighted by Grant Thornton's Value For Money Assessment.
  • Treasury Management: The Treasury Management Annual Report 2024-25 provided details of treasury management actions and performance, noting that no new long-term borrowing was undertaken during the period, the balance of external loans debt decreased by £56.48 million, and the average return on investments was 4.96%.

The Audit Committee's concerns about governance and financial controls underscore the need for continued improvement and oversight to ensure the council's financial stability and accountability.

Bridge Estate Properties Under Review

The Nottingham City Council Trusts and Charities Committee met to discuss updates and recommended actions related to properties within the Bridge Estate portfolio3. The committee reviewed a report detailing recent activities and proposed actions for individual properties, including new tenancies, leases under offer, and disposals of freehold interests. Link to the meeting

  • Property Updates: The report provided updates on several properties, including 34 Lister Gate, 38 Lister Gate, 24-30 Castle Gate, and Governor's House & Judges Retiring Rooms, High Pavement.
  • Charity Guidance: The report noted that Charity Committee guidance states that the Trust may purchase and lease property for Charity to generate income to meet its purposes, but Trustees must ensure that it is in the Charity's best interests and that they are responsible for protecting the Charity's money and assets.

The Bridge Estate properties are an important source of income for the council, and the committee's review ensures that these assets are being managed effectively.

Notts Council: Carbon Plan Backed, Fire Budget, Mental Health Services

This week in Nottinghamshire:

Fire Authority Grapples with Budget Underspends and Capital Programme Changes

The Nottinghamshire and City of Nottingham Fire and Rescue Authority Finance and Resources Committee convened to address the 2024/25 revenue and capital outturn, internal and external audit plans, and procurement updates1. The discussions centered on managing underspends, reallocating reserves, and adjusting the capital programme, all of which have direct implications for the fire service's operational capabilities and financial stability. Link to the meeting

  • Revenue Underspend: The committee reviewed a report showing a £772k underspend (1.46%) against the £52.720m revenue budget for 2024/25. This was largely due to lower-than-budgeted employee costs, on-call pay, and premises costs.
  • Capital Programme Adjustments: The committee considered changes to the Capital Programme for 2025/26 to 2028/29, including £583k additional net slippage on the 2024/25 Capital Programme. Additions included £250k for CFRMIS2 Development Phase 2 and £36k for Electric Vehicle Recharge points at Mansfield and Highfields fire stations.
  • Internal Audit Assurance: The Internal Audit Annual Report 2024/25 provided substantial assurance concerning the arrangements in place for corporate governance, risk management, and the control environment.
  • External Audit Risks: The External Audit Plan 2024/25 identified key risks requiring special audit consideration, including management override of control, valuation of pension liability, and valuation of land and buildings.

These financial decisions directly impact the fire service's ability to invest in essential equipment, maintain infrastructure, and ensure effective service delivery to the community.

Executive Board Backs Plan to Cut Carbon in New Developments

The Nottingham City Council Executive Board adopted the Reduction of Carbon in New Development Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), a move aimed at ensuring new developments align with the city's carbon-neutral ambitions2. This decision could lead to more sustainable buildings and reduced carbon emissions, but also raises concerns about development viability. Link to the meeting

  • Planning Guidance: The Carbon SPD provides detailed guidance on reducing carbon emissions from new developments, supporting policies in the Greater Nottingham Aligned Core Strategies Local Plan Part 1, the Nottingham City Council Local Plan Part 2, and the Broxtowe Local Plan Part 2.
  • Sustainability Strategies: The SPD outlines strategies for energy efficiency, renewable energy use, and sustainable construction, aligning with the councils' climate emergency declarations and carbon reduction goals, including Nottingham's ambition to be carbon neutral by 2028.
  • Development Viability: The report acknowledged the inherent risk to development viability from additional planning requirements and restrictions, but argued that the SPD expands on existing adopted policies and provides clarity for developers and decision-makers.

Councillor Jay Hayes, Executive Member for Housing and Planning, presented the report, stating that the SPD will help ensure the Council promotes the City's carbon neutral ambitions.

This decision reflects the council's commitment to addressing climate change, but also highlights the need to balance environmental goals with economic realities.

Shared Services Committee Focuses on Financial Stability and Partnership Agreement

The East Midlands Shared Services Joint Committee addressed financial performance and governance issues, including a review of the EMSS Partnership Agreement3. These discussions have implications for the efficiency and effectiveness of shared services provided to Nottingham City Council and Leicestershire County Council. Link to the meeting

  • Financial Underspend: The committee noted an underspend of £478k for 2024/25, with reimbursements to each partner authority of £239k.
  • Partnership Agreement Review: The committee agreed to a review of the Partnership Agreement to address gaps in processes for adding, removing, or amending shared services.
  • Annual Report: The East Midlands Shared Service Annual Report for 2024/25 highlighted improvements in customer service and financial accuracy, but also noted a GDPR4 issue with the Redwood implementation.

Elaine Simpson, Head of East Midlands Shared Services (EMSS), presented the report, noting that there are gaps in the current agreement that may cause operational difficulties.

These decisions aim to improve the stability and effectiveness of shared services, which are essential for delivering efficient and cost-effective services to residents.

Nottingham to Procure New Waste Contract and Asset Management System

The Nottingham City Council Commissioning and Procurement Executive Committee convened on June 10, 2025, approving the commencement of tender processes for a new Asset Management System (AMS) and a waste reprocessing contract. These decisions will impact how the council manages its infrastructure and waste disposal. Link to the meeting

This week in Nottinghamshire:

Best Start Strategy Aims to Give Every Child the Best Chance

The Nottingham City Health and Wellbeing Board met this week and endorsed the Nottingham City Best Start Strategy 2025-20351. This strategy focuses on improving outcomes for children aged 0-5 in Nottingham City, with the overarching vision that:

Every child has the best start in life and parents-to-be, caregivers, babies, and young children have what they need to thrive. Families, communities, and services join together to make Nottingham and Nottinghamshire a great place to be born and grow up.

The strategy identifies five key priorities: reducing unfair differences, ensuring healthy beginnings, nurturing positive connections, promoting safe environments, and fostering early learning.
