1. Information: growth and falling rolls calculator tool 2024 to 2025
The growth and falling rolls calculator tool for 2024 to 2025 has been emailed to all local authority finance officers and Directors of Finance this week.
This workbook allows local authorities to input their own estimated pupil numbers for 2023, to calculate an estimate of the growth and falling rolls funding they can expect to receive under the methodology for 2024 to 2025.
Actual 2024 to 2025 growth and falling rolls funding allocations will be confirmed in December and based on the difference between October 2022 and October 2023 census data.
If you have any questions about the tool please contact: schoolsNFF.DATAQUERIES@education.gov.uk
2. Information: national funding formula 2024 to 2025: COLLECT tables
The “COLLECT” tables for 2024 to 2025 are now available for schools and local authorities to access. This follows the publication of the 2024 to 2025 national funding formula for schools and high needs and the pre-16 local authority guidance in July.
The tables allow schools and local authorities to see the detail of how their NFF notional allocations for 2024 to 2025 have been calculated.
Schools and local authorities can access the tables by signing in to DfE sign-in and selecting “COLLECT”. If you are unable to see your COLLECT reports, please consult national funding formula notional allocations: supplementary guidance.
If you have questions about the numbers shown, please contact the ESFA enquiry service through the online form.
