Funding Group Recommendation for continued transition to NFF: Model 3 How we propose spending the 10.3m increase and why: AWPU to maintain the national level Primary/Secondary sector ratio of 1:1.29: We re investing 3.4m in secondary AWPU in line with the NFF. Maintaining primary AWPU at 2021/22 higher levels to avoid the need to reduce this in future (Sheffield is already higher than the NFF). Sheffield Primary AWPU 3,413, NFF 3,217 with var 196 = 8.7m. Social Deprivation - we are investing 5.2m into schools with high levels of social deprivation in line with our strategic intent and the NFF. MFG a 2% increase ensures all schools will see an increase, including small primaries with lower levels of deprivation. The remaining balance will be invested across factors to ensure we continue to track the NFF. 9
