Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she plans to publish the results of the consultation on a national funding formula for schools which closed in April 2016.

We published our response to the first stage of our consultation on a national funding formula for schools in December 2016. The response to this consultation can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/schools-national-funding-formula.

We also recently concluded the second stage of our consultation. We are considering the more than 25,000 responses we received to this consultation and will publish our response in due course. The second stage of the consultation can be found at https://consult.education.gov.uk/funding-policy-unit/schools-national-funding-formula2/.
