Details

The tables set out the national funding formulae (NFF) allocations for 2018 to 2019. They are mainly for schools and local authorities.

The tables also include (now out of date) illustrative allocations for 2019 to 2020 and the fully implemented NFF.

These allocations have been replaced by the NFF allocations for 2019 to 2020 which are based on up-to-date data.

‘National funding formula illustrative allocations for 2018 to 2019: supplementary guidance’ provides information about finding the allocations on COLLECT and interpreting the data.

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.

Actual high needs funding allocations for 2018 to 2019 can be found at Dedicated schools grant (DSG): 2018 to 2019.

The central school services block is funding that local authorities use to provide services for all schools.
