This report summarises the responses we have received, along with the government’s response and next steps.
We’re seeking views on proposals to reform how local authorities’ school improvement functions are funded.
This consultation was held on another website.
This consultation ran from
midday on 29 October 2021 to 11:45pm on 26 November 2021
The local authority role in school improvement has changed significantly in recent years, with the growth of school-led approaches, such as multi-academy trusts, putting school improvement in the hands of the strongest schools and school leaders.
In turn, the local authority role in school improvement in maintained schools is increasingly focused on helping their schools access the support they need from the school system.
Given these changes in respective roles and responsibilities, we believe now is the right time to revisit local authorities’ school improvement functions and how they are funded.
Added government response to consultation.
