The scheme, which costs around £1.25 million annually, supports approximately 520 students attending 15 faith schools, with families contributing 20% and the council covering the rest. The public consultation runs from April 30 to June 12, 2026, to gather input on four proposed options: maintaining the current system, phasing it out by 2031, scrapping it by 2027, or increasing parental contributions. The council will make a final decision by August 3, 2026, ensuring families have time to plan for the next school admissions round.
