1. Information: teachers’ pay grant allocations for September 2018 to March 2019
Today, 28 November 2018, we have re-published the teachers’ pay grant allocations for the period September 2018 to March 2019.
In the original allocations tables, published in October, a double-counting issue affected pupil numbers in reception classes. This meant that pupil numbers for some schools were too high, and the calculated per-pupil rate for primary and nursery pupils was too low. We have now rectified the error.
The revised tables show the allocations for all schools, with amended pupil numbers, rates and calculations for those affected by the correction. All schools will receive at least the amounts shown in the original publication in October. Where the recalculation has resulted in a higher allocation, schools will receive an additional payment. We have indicated in the tables how much these schools will receive.
We will make the additional payment to affected academies and local authorities (to pass on to maintained schools) in December.
2. Information: school and early years finance regulations 2018
The School and Early Years Finance (England) (No. 2) Regulations 2018 No. 1185 have been published.
3. Information: early years national funding formula (EYNFF) funding rates and guidance for 2019 to 2020
We have published the EYNFF funding rates for local authorities in England in 2019 to 2020 to fund the 3 and 4 year old entitlements.
Alongside the EYNFF hourly rates tables is a step-by-step guide, showing how each authority’s 2019 to 2020 rates are derived from their 2018 to 2019 rates.
In addition, we have published:
- a technical note that explains how we’ve calculated the 2019 to 2020 allocations
- an operational guide to support local authorities’ continued implementation of the EYNFF
- an amended disapplication proforma to include early years
