<p>The National Funding Formula (NFF) distributes funding fairly, based on schools’
and pupils’ needs and characteristics. The NFF includes proxy factors through which
pupils with additional needs attract additional funding to their school, such as low
prior attainment, socio-economic status, and English as an Additional Language.</p><p>Hampshire
is attracting an extra £19 million for schools in 2024/25, an increase of 2.0% per
pupil (excluding growth funding) through the schools NFF compared to 2023/24, and
an increase of 13.3% per pupil compared to 2021/22. This takes total funding for 2024/25
in Hampshire to over £986 million, based on current pupil numbers. Final allocations
for 2024/25 will be announced in December 2024.</p><p>All schools will receive additional
funding, beyond that provided through the NFF, through the Teachers Pay Additional
Grant (TPAG) in the 2024/25 financial year. A typical primary school with 200 pupils
might be receiving around £20,000 through the TPAG in 2024/25, and a typical secondary
school with 900 pupils might be receiving around £100,000.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
