Allocations

We have updated the 2021 to 2022 DSG funding allocations which show how much funding each local authority will receive, and how that funding has been calculated.

We have finalised the early years block part-time equivalents (PTE) pupil numbers by adding in January 2022 census data to the PTE calculations. We have also updated the PTE pupil number tool.

About the calculation

Read the technical note to understand how we calculate these allocations.

The DSG growth calculations values tables give details of the 2021 to 2022 financial year growth calculation, which forms part of the schools block in the DSG allocations.

Further information

Read the DSG conditions of grant to find out more about how the grant should be used.

You can also use the pupil number tool to see how many pupils are allocated to each local authority.
