Dear Ms Wigzell

We refer to your Freedom of Information Request in respect of School
funding in Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council.

The Authority’s response is as follows:

1. The funding allocated to each Primary, Secondary, Through and Special
School for the financial years 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20,
broken down by each individual formula element.
2. The school funding formula for your local authority (i.e. the detailed
explanation/analysis of the formula).

ANSWER:

In respect of questions, 1 and 2 above, this information is available to
you on the Stats Wales website. Therefore we are applying the exemption
set out under Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, namely
the information is accessible by other means.

Accordingly, in accordance with Section 17 of the Freedom of Information
Act 2000 ("the Act") this email acts as a Refusal Notice.

Special School for the financial year 2018-19, together with the projected
