PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Schools: Finance (6 October 2017)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate her Department has made of how long it will take for all schools at the current rate of increase to be funded at their national funding formula levels.

Asked by:
Mike Kane (Labour)

Answer

We have now set out our final national funding formula for schools, following a consultation in which we heard from over 26,000 individual respondents and representative organisations.

We are making significant progress towards the formula, with underfunded schools receiving gains of up to 6%, per pupil, by 2019-20.

Decisions about spending after 2019-20 will be subject to the next Spending Review.
