To receive and consider the 2020/21 Contingency update report.

Katherine Vernon presented the 2020/21 Contingency Update report and stated that there had been no activity this year, with no allocation made.

Katherine Vernon stated that this fund would be carried forward to the next year and that schools would not have to contribute to the fund in the next financial year.

Katherine Vernon stated that the head count for Early Years had just been received for this term so it would now be possible to say how much of the provider fund had been used, this would be reported at the July meeting.

Ian Morgan asked what was the potential recoupment figure for this year.  Katherine Vernon stated that whatever hours were used for this year would be paid for.  It was anticipated that the hours had gone down so there may be a large recoupment.

The Chairman pointed out that it had been agreed that the Contingencies report would always include Early Years.  He also suggested including the Growth Fund contingency for regular review during the year.

RESOLVED That:

1)     The report be noted; and

2)     Future contingency reports would include information about Early Years and Growth Fund
