2. Information: National funding formula 2023 to 2024: COLLECT tables
The “COLLECT” tables for 2023 to 2024 are now available for schools and local authorities to access. This follows the publication of the 2023 to 2024 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 2023 to 2024 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 the guidance that will be published within the next few days on national funding formula tables for schools and high needs: 2023 to 2024.
If you have questions about the numbers shown, please contact the ESFA enquiry service via the on-line form.
