answer text <p>This year, in 2017-18, the average per pupil funding amount for schools in the City of Bristol local authority, provided through the Schools Block of the Dedicated School Grant is £4,684. This is an average amount across both primary and secondary schools in the local authority area. The distribution of funding between schools (including the balance between primary and secondary schools) is a matter for local discretion. Decisions about school funding in future years will be subject to the outcome of the national funding formula consultation. In the consultation, we made available data illustrating the amount each school would have received if the proposed formula had been implemented in full in 2016-17, and a projection of schools’ allocations in the first year of transition. This data is published at <a href="https://consult.education.gov.uk/funding-policy-unit/schools-national-funding-formula2/" target="_blank">https://consult.education.gov.uk/funding-policy-unit/schools-national-funding-formula2/</a>.</p>
