The overage in CET arises because of the centralisation of the HR team. Note we have also included the National Insurance rise (for all schools) from April 25. The DFE have explained the 5-16 funding but not for EY & 16+. Some schools definitely won t be covered & there will be an annualised extra cost for the Central teams of 39k.

We should now be closing down spend for the year (except for contracted services & key spends) apart from LOU. Total 8,732,777 9,601,757 - 868,980 9,643,301 41,544 Note last year, as we don t have good usage of purchase orders, the lag in closing took a few months to have impact, so starting now would probably finally show benefit in June. Note we need to do this asap as the amount of cash being paid out on other expenditure in Feb & Mar had been accelerating. Either way - work needs to continue to pull these costs back & to better understand the contractual commitments.
