These allocations include an additional £780 million compared to 2019-20, and every
local authority will see a minimum increase of 8% per head for those aged 2-18 years
old.</p><p>In the autumn of 2019, the Department undertook a consultation on clarifying
the status of the Dedicated Schools Grant and we will respond to this consultation
shortly.</p>
