Although the Schools Block is ring-fenced in 2020-21, it is
possible to transfer up to 0.5% of Schools Block funding out with
the agreement of the Schools Forum. Transfers of more than 0.5% of
the Schools Block require the local authority to make a
Disapplication Request to the Secretary of State as does the
position where the Schools Forum has turned down a proposal from
the authority to move funding out of the Schools Block, but the
authority wishes to proceed with the transfer. Disapplication
requests need to be submitted by 28 November 2019.
