The Hounslow Council Schools Forum agreed in November 2025 to establish a new £203,000 contingency fund for the 2026-27 financial year. This financial safety net is for maintained schools in Hounslow facing significant financial difficulties, created through the de-delegation of funds.
This initiative is a key component of the Hounslow Schools Financial Sustainability Programme (HSFSP). The council is requesting the same de-delegations as in 2025-26, in addition to this new fund to support maintained schools. No further discussions or decisions are currently scheduled.
