This table does not include capital funding, which is not available by local areas prior to 2011-12. The Department’s total capital budget for education nationally from 2011-12 to 2016-17 was over £29 billion.

Hertfordshire local authority directly received over £340 million of core capital allocations from the Department between financial years 2011-12 to 2016-17. These figures do not include funding to academies, sixth-form colleges and multi academy trusts within the area.
