Details
These tables are mainly for schools and local authorities. They cover the national funding formulae (NFF) allocations for 2025 to 2026.
‘NFF summary tables’ sets out the combined effect of all the formulae at local authority level.
‘Impact of the schools NFF’ sets out notional school-level allocations for 2025 to 2026. Local authorities will continue to set a local formula to distribute funding to schools in their area. This means schools’ actual funding may be different to the amounts shown in these tables.
‘Impact of the high needs NFF’ sets out local authority provisional high needs allocations for 2025 to 2026. It also shows how we have calculated the allocations.
‘Impact of the central school services block NFF’ sets out local authority provisional central school services allocations for 2025 to 2026. It also shows how we have calculated the allocations.
The technical notes explain how we have calculated the local authority and school level allocations under the formulae.
An update to the COLLECT system will be published shortly. This will allow schools and local authorities to view the detailed calculations behind their notional schools block allocations.
