1. Latest information on coronavirus (COVID-19)
The Department for Education has published guidance about COVID-19 in educational settings for staff, parents and carers, pupils and students on GOV.UK.
Please check GOV.UK regularly for updates.
2. Information: high needs import/export data
We have published the institution level data used to calculate the 2020 to 2021 import/export adjustment. Use this information to review the calculation of the total net adjustment to your local authority’s dedicated schools grant.
You can notify us if the census or individual learner record data used in the import/export adjustment was incorrect at the time returns were submitted.
View the data on Information Exchange in the ‘Other Submissions’ folder under the 2020 to 2021 academic year.
3. Information: special free school funding adjustments
We have published a breakdown of the 2020 to 2021 funding adjustments we will make to the dedicated schools grant to reflect the inclusion of place funding for special free schools.
The data is available in the Information Exchange ‘Other Submissions’ folder under the 2020 to 2021 academic year.
Read ‘Special free school adjustments: a guide for local authorities’ for information on how the adjustments have been calculated.
4. Information: updated schools forum guidance
We have updated the published schools forum operational and good practice guide, to reflect that schools forums can meet remotely until 31 March 2021 due to coronavirus (COVID-19).
