Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what guidance on funding his Department has issued to local education authorities (LEAs) on the passing of funding issued under the national funding formula from LEAs through to schools; and if he will make a statement.

As we introduce the national funding formula, local authorities will continue to set local formulae to determine how their Schools Block is divided between individual schools in 2018-19 and 2019-20. Guidance to local authorities, setting out compulsory and optional elements of local formulae, is available at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pre-16-schools-funding-guidance-for-2018-to-2019.
