Warwickshire Council's Portfolio Holder Decisions/Leader Decisions meeting on 14 November 2025, chaired by Councillor Stephen Shaw, Deputy Leader of the Council, authorised the Executive Director for Resources to submit a Disapplication to the Secretary of State, requesting a transfer of 0.5% of the 2026/27 Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) from the Schools Block to the High Needs Block, amounting to approximately £2.484 million.
