Update 21 October - an additional model can be accessed here. This model shows (illustratively) the additional formula funding that would be allocated to primary schools following the DfE's proposed further increase in the minimum per pupil funding level from £3,750 to £4,000 in 2021/22. This modelling should be treated with caution - it is illustative based on the same data used to construct the main modelling attached to the consultation paper above. However, it does indicate how significant an increase to a minimum funding level of £4,000 in 2021/22 will be to a number of our primary schools.

 

 

OTHER REPORTS / HIGHLIGHTED MATTERS
