</p><p>From 2013-14, per pupil funding figures are based on the DSG schools block
only. Schools receive funding on top of this through the pupil premium, primary PE
and sport premium, Year 7 Catch Up premium and the grant to support universal infant
free school meals (from 2014-2015). In 2017-18, the balance between the schools and
high needs block was re-set, with some £250 million being transferred from the schools
block to the high needs block, to better reflect the actual spending decisions that
local authorities had been taking. This accounts for the apparent reduction in the
School Block Unit of Funding in that year. Before 2018-19, schools block funding was
not allocated separately for primary and secondary phases.</p><p> </p><p>The government
