The tables below set out funding statistics for Welwyn Hatfield constituency, Hertfordshire and England in each of the last five years. The Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) funding cycle is on a financial year basis, rather than an academic one, so this is what has been provided in this answer.

For Hertfordshire and England, the figures represent the funding provided through the schools block of the DSG. The figures in table one include premises funding but exclude falling rolls and growth funding (funding for local authorities to support schools with significant increases or decreases in pupil numbers).

The DSG is allocated at local authority level and, as such, the equivalent figures are not available for Welwyn Hatfield constituency. The constituency level data for Welwyn Hatfield is instead calculated based on the notional schools national funding formula (NFF) allocations for all mainstream schools in the constituency. The figures in table two are not comparable to those in table one because DSG funding cannot be broken down to constituency level, so the context of the funding figures are not the same.

The tables below provide average per-pupil funding for the last five years, 2020/21 to 2024/25:

Table one

* Additional grants, such as the School Supplementary Grant (SSG) and the Mainstream Schools Additional Grant (MSAG) are included in these figures once they have been incorporated into the DSG.

Table two

* The allocations that schools within a constituency actually receive are determined by the local funding formula in their area. Additional grants, such as the SSG and the MSAG are included in these figures once they have been incorporated into the DSG.

Deepening our defence relationships with European allies continues to be a priority.

Since July 2024 we have signed several new agreements to deepen cooperation, including the UK-Germany Trinity House Agreement and the UK-Estonia roadmap. During 2025 we will also reinvigorate the UK-France Lancaster House Agreement.

Our NATO first approach will complement this work. Investing in our collective defence and security is crucial to further improving our defence relationship with Europe as a whole.
