Answer
The Central School Services Block (CSSB) funds Local Authorities to carry out central education services on behalf of all pupils in maintained schools and academies. The CSSB funding comprises two distinct parts: funding for ongoing responsibilities and funding for historic commitments. In the 2023/24 financial year, Stockport received a total of £2,019,683 in CSSB funding through the Dedicated Schools Grant and its provisional CSSB allocation for 2024/25 through the National Funding Formula is £1,971,361. Final allocations for 2024/25 will be published as usual in December within the Dedicated Schools Grant.
