National Formula Funding Review • Calculation based on either: • Individual schools based on the schools within the area and the pupils within those schools, or • local authority based solely on the pupils within the area • New Dedicated Schools Grant to be allocated in three main blocks to local authorities. These blocks will cover: • Schools • High Needs Pupils • Early Years • ….And a block for central expenditure

National Formula Funding Review • Next Steps: • Report on feedback December 2011 • good deal of consensus around some proposals, • however, the responses also reflect a variety of views over some of the key aspects of the system. • The Department is now working on developing further proposals in light of the responses.
