What we consulted on

Shaping the future of secondary education in Haringey

Main issues:

• At present the majority of secondary schools in Haringey have PANs that are wholly divisible by 27
• We want to adjust this number to 30, the standard number for the vast majority of secondary schools across London and England
• The Department for Education will shortly be introducing changes to school funding with the introduction of the national funding formula
• These changes will mean Haringey will lose the right to locally distribute funds between primary and secondary schools
• Funding will instead be allocated on a standard ratio based on a class size of 30 so secondary schools who retain PANs divisible by 27 will lose money
• Changing secondary school PANs to 30 will also boost capacity
• This can be done without the disturbance of building works and;
• Will ensure Haringey can continue to supply sufficient places at our sought after secondary schools
