Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many schools are in receipt of top-up funding in order to reach their minimum funding level.

For those schools with the lowest level of funding, the national funding formula will provide local authorities with minimum per pupil funding levels of £3,500 for all primary schools and £4,800 for all secondary schools by 2019-20. In 2016-19, the minimum levels will be £3,300 for primaries schools and £4,600 for secondary schools. 2,069 schools nationally will attract this additional funding under the national funding formulae.
