1. Information: school improvement monitoring and brokering grant

We can confirm that in October 2019 we will allocate £30 million to local authorities for the school improvement monitoring and brokering grant for the period September 2019 to March 2020.

We will confirm funding beyond March 2020 in due course.

2. Information: 16 to 19 funding regulations guidance

We have published the 16 to 19 funding regulations guidance for academic year 2019 to 2020 on GOV.UK. We have made some small changes this year and to help you, we have listed these in the front of the guide.

If you have any queries please contact us using our online enquiry form.

3. Information: check if there’s a school business professional network near you

Being part of a school business professional (SBP) network can benefit all levels of staff. Networks offer the chance to share experience and best practice by creating an on-call community to resolve problems quickly. They can also save time and get better value for money through buying together.

If you lead or are you part of a network not currently on the SBP network directory, you can add your network by using the SBP network directory registration form.

If you would like more information or cannot find a network in your area, please contact DfE’s schools commercial team via email at schools.commercial@education.gov.uk.
