PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Schools: Finance (17 July 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether the pupil premium allocated to a school will be included in the calculation her Department makes to ensure no school will see a cut in funding as a consequence of the national funding formula.

Asked by:
Mike Kane (Labour)

The pupil premium remains a separate grant to the national funding formula (NFF). Illustrative NFF allocations do not therefore include pupil premium funding. The pupil premium totals nearly £2.5 billion in 2017-18 and will continue to be protected at current rates alongside the NFF, to support the children who need it.
