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.

The spreadsheets on this page are not accessible because they use colour-coded cells. This means they do not meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines success criterion  1.4.1 Use of Color. We are working to fix this by December 2026. If you cannot see colour, use the links to request accessible versions.
