1. Appendix: tables of figures

These tables show the data used to create the charts in the Schools block funding formulae 2021 to 2022. Each table corresponds to the figure of the same number— for example, the data in table 1 corresponds to the chart in figure 1. The values for each year show the number of local authorities who opted to use that amount/factor.
