Statement on schools funding in Denbighshire

Following a meeting to consider the latest proposals to deliver a balanced budget for 2016/17, political group leaders will be making a recommendation to the full council  in January to invest more money than planned in schools next year.

As a consequence of the better than expected revenue settlement from Welsh Government the council will provide additional funding of £853k directly to schools and will deliver the required national level of financial protection to school budgets.  

The council will also be continuing to invest in Welsh Government major capital improvement programme for schools with planned expenditure  of over £50m in the next three years.
