Supplementary memorandum submitted by
Hertfordshire County Council
Prior to the introduction of its single formula
for early years funding, Hertfordshire had introduced a new social
deprivation funding system for pupils in nursery classes and schools
in 2008-09, based on the home IDACI scores of pupils. For the
single formula, the same methodology was then applied to all settings
across the PVI and maintained sectors:
— pupils are matched to their home neighbourhood
using their postcodes and an associated IDACI score identified;
— the sum of the scores attributed to each
child at a setting is then calculated by simply adding up the
individual IDACI scores of each child;
— the setting receives an additional amount
of approximately 30p per hour or £140 per annum per IDACI
score of 1.0; and
— if the total IDACI score for a setting
as a proportion of the total number of pupils exceeds 17%, then
the setting receives an additional amount of approximately £1.05
per hour or £500 per annum per IDACI score of 1.0 above 17%.
