Details
These tables are mainly for schools and local authorities. They cover the schools and central school services national funding formulae (NFF) allocations for 2026 to 2027.
The ‘NFF summary table’ sets out the combined effect of the schools and central school services formulae at local authority level.
The ‘Impact of the schools NFF’ sets out notional school-level allocations for 2026 to 2027. But as local authorities continue to distribute funding to schools in their area, schools’ actual funding may be different to the amounts shown in these tables.
The ‘Impact of the central school services block NFF’ sets out local authority provisional central school services allocations for 2026 to 2027 and how we calculated them.
The technical notes explain how we calculated the local authority and school level allocations under the formulae.
Information on high needs funding allocations will be added to this page at a later date.
