The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) allocates funding every year to open academies, including free schools, university technical colleges (UTCs), special schools and alternative provision (AP) academies.
Academies general annual grant allocation guides for the 2020 to 2021 academic year
We’ve produced a number of guides to help explain the statement. There are different guides produced for different types of academies, including those opening in-year.
Read the guide alongside your 2020 to 2021 statement to understand the funding your academy will receive, how we’ve calculated it, the funding factors we’ve applied and the sources of the data used.
