Scheme for financing schools

The Telford and Wrekin scheme for financing schools describes the financial relationship between the Council and maintained schools within the area.

The scheme is based upon government guidance but also incorporates local policies, the content of which is discussed and agreed with the local Schools Forum. It is updated each year and the current 2023 Scheme applies to the 2023 to 2024 academic year.
