Details

This statistical release covers:

• the income and expenditure of local-authority-maintained schools in England
• local authority spending on education services and children’s and young people’s services
• the latest position on school revenue balances

We identified an error affecting the consistent financial reporting (CFR) 2015 to 2016 figures for 31 out of the 16,774 schools covered in this release. This affects Buckinghamshire local authority only, and has a marginal effect on national figures.

We recalculated tables 3, 4, 5, 10, 11 and 12 and republished them in May 2017. The local authority 2015 to 2016 outturn figures in tables 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are not affected. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
