The Department for Education has published national funding
formula tables showing provisional allocations for the schools,
high needs and central school services blocks from 2019 to 2020
onwards.
The tables are mainly for schools and local authorities. They
cover the updated national funding formulae (NFF) allocations for 2019 to
2020 and the fully implemented NFF.
The NFF summary table sets out
the combined effect of all the formulae at local authority level.
‘Impact of the schools NFF’ sets out notional
school-level allocations for 2019 to 2020, and illustrative
school-level allocations under a fully-implemented national
funding formula. Local authorities will continue to set a local
formula to distribute funding to schools in their area. This
means schools’ actual funding may be different to the amounts
shown in these tables.
‘Impact of the high needs NFF’ sets out local authority
provisional high needs allocations for 2019 to 2020, and
illustrative high needs allocations under a fully-implemented
national funding formula. It also shows how we have calculated
the allocations.
High needs funding is funding for children and young people with
special educational needs or disabilities who need extra support
at school, college or alternative provision settings.
‘Impact of the central school services block NFF’ sets out local authority
provisional central school services allocations for 2019 to 2020,
and illustrative allocations under a fully-implemented national
funding formula. It also shows how we have calculated the
allocations.
The central school services block is funding that local
authorities use to provide services for all schools.
