Make Small council-maintained schools exempt from the Apprenticeship Levy.
The Apprenticeship Levy, being introduced in April, will see all businesses including schools with a wage bill over £3 million a year contributing 0.5 per cent of that wage bill to fund new apprenticeships.
Small schools are being treated unfairly and this needs to be reviewed!
Small schools with a smaller wage bill that are maintained by the LA will also be expected to pay the Levy and will need to account for this in their separate small school budgets.
Academies and faith schools are exempt from this - small schools are being treated unfairly, and their already struggling budgets are surely taking the hit!
