Welcome news was received from East Sussex County Council today that funding for children attending Northease Manor School has been secured for the next three years.
East Sussex County Council have been in negotiations over the summer with Northease Manor, alongside Brighton and Hove and West Sussex councils, in relation to their request for a significant uplift to their fees from September 2023 onwards. It is welcome news that the three local authorities have now reached agreement with the school for fees for the 2023/24, 2024/25 and 2025/26 academic years.
Maria Caulfield MP said, “ This is welcome news and ends the uncertainty for children and their families and I am grateful to East Sussex County Council for their hard work under a tight fiscal environment. The funding offer that has now been agreed will provide the school with the resources they need to sustain their provision and with financial stability for the next three academic years.”
Northease Manor provides education for young people with Special Educational Needs and has a very good reputation for supporting local children and those from outside East Sussex. It is crucial that the school is supported, and it is great news for parents
The agreement with Northease Manor will enable all parties to give assurance to children, and their families.
