budget monitoring meetings with our 86 schools and can change between

strategy at Welsh Government & or Local Authority level). Schools have
just set their 2019-20 budgets and we are very early in the meetings cycle
to be able to provide this information. We also need to be mindful that
there are potential sensitivity issues around future budget projections at
school level.
