West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) is in the bottom quartile nationally in terms of funding per pupil received
West Northamptonshire's higher needs education services are becoming "increasingly difficult" to manage, according to the council. The provisional funding for the sector in 2024-25 is set to increase by £2.1m for the area.
Paul Wheeler, member of the Schools Forum, said at the meeting on on Wednesday, October 18: "It’s a very depressing picture. The amount of money we will get next year for higher needs may or may not cover the deficit that we have for this year, and then of course costs will go up. The increases we get just simply won’t cover the inflationary pressures."
Additional places within the Educational Psychology team are being commissioned on a fixed-term basis to provide the EHCP assessments needed to improve performance. Addressing the backlog will lead to an increase in placements and a further rise in the costs of the service.
