<p>The department allocates school funding to local authorities through the dedicated
schools grant, on the basis of pupil numbers in the preceding autumn census. That
some children are home educated does not, therefore, lead to unallocated funding.
The department does not have current plans to fund exam centres for children who are
home educated, but all funding is kept under careful review. Local authorities do
have some flexibility to support children and young people who are home educated.</p><p>
