Introduction

The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) allocates funding every year to open academies, including free schools, university technical colleges (UTCs), special schools and alternative provision (AP) academies.

Each academy receives a general annual grant allocation statement, which is uploaded to the ESFA’s Document exchange portal.

Academies general annual grant allocation guides for the 2022 to 2023 academic year

Read the guide alongside your 2022 to 2023 statement to understand the funding your academy will receive, how we’ve calculated it, the funding factors we’ve applied and the sources of the data used.

We’ve amalgamated our separate special and alternative provision guides to create one comprehensive guide to accommodate all special and alternative provision academies and free schools open within the 2022 to 2023 academic year.
