Information: general annual grant allocation guide for 2025 to 2026
We have published the academy general annual grant (GAG) allocation guide for the 2025 to 2026 academic year for mainstream academies, free schools, university technical colleges and studio schools, special and alternative provision academies, and special free schools.
This guidance is for all existing academies as well as academies opening between April 2025 and March 2026.
For academies open before February 2025, we will issue 2025 to 2026 pre-16 GAG allocation statements towards the end of February 2025 and expect to finish by the end of March 2025.
As trialled last year, we will now be issuing a digital statement online at manage your education and skills funding (MYESF). To access your statement, you will need a DfE Sign-in account and add the MYESF service and the ‘view allocation statements’ sub-service to your account.
If you have not already set this up, you can refer to the instructions on the academies revenue funding page.
