What's new for 2022 to 2023
Summary of main changes for 2022 to 2023
Below you will find details of some of the key changes we would like to highlight:
This line has been updated to take into account the new treatment of NNDR. The new Supplementary Grant for schools should also be included in this line.
This line has been updated to include the Afghan resettlement grant.
This line has been updated to include the Senior mental health lead training grant.
This line has been updated to reflect that the school’s NNDR charge should be entered here regardless of whether it is actually paid by the school, the local authority or ESFA.
Guidance has been updated to clarify that funding from a school’s general income should be transferred only when the capital expenditure actually takes place.
We have included guidance for some data items below:
