School improvement monitoring and brokering grant allocations October 2022

Updated 24 October 2022

Applies to England

Introduction

The school improvement (SI) monitoring and brokering grant has been allocated to local authorities since September 2017 to allow them to continue to monitor performance of maintained schools, broker school improvement provision, and intervene as appropriate.

On 11 January 2022, we announced in our consultation response, ‘Reforming how local authority school improvement functions are funded’, that in future these functions will be funded from maintained school budgets, with the grant to be reduced by 50% in 2022 to 2023 ahead of full removal in 2023 to 2024.

This document sets out allocations to cover the final grant payment period September 2022 to March 2023.

Modelling

Please note that:

• funding is distributed to all eligible local authorities (excluding City of London and Isles of Scilly) to cover the period September 2022 to March 2023
• the minimum amount of funding a local authority can receive is £25,000, and all local authorities will receive at the least this amount in October 2022.
• the allocations are made on a per eligible school basis for those schools deemed open on 1 September 2022
  • eligible schools are schools run by local authorities, including special schools and PRUs, for pupils aged 5 to 16
  • the list used was extracted from Get Information About Schools as at September 2021
• the general labour market area cost adjustment (GLM ACA) factor is used matches the ACA used in the central school services block of the 2022 to 2023 national funding formula.

Methodology

Please note that:

• for each local authority, the number of eligible schools was multiplied by its GLM ACA rate to calculate a weighted number of schools
• each local authorities’ number of weighted eligible schools was multiplied by the weighted school funding unit of £998.28 to calculate the initial grant allocation –that is 50% of the pro-rated per school funding levels when the grant was established in October 2017
• the grant allocation for those local authorities falling below the minimum was increased to £25,000
• the grant allocations were rounded to the nearest pound to produce final figures

Note: In the ACA column, numbers are shown to 2 decimal places and calculations may not sum due to rounding
