Details

Report and supporting data showing schools’ spending trends per pupil and in total on:

• teachers
• education staff
• exam fees
• education consultancy
• supply staff

The report explains how we compiled a single time series of school spending data from August 2002 to July 2017.

We calculated spending on a per pupil basis. From 2012 onward, we combined the separate spending returns for local-authority-maintained schools and academies, which have some differences.
