<p>The Department for Education is working with a small network of school sector representatives
to identify the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) related topics that schools
face. These then form the basis of communications setting out GDPR preparation support
within the context and language of the education sector.</p><p> </p><p>In July, the
former Secretary of State the right hon. Member for Putney (Justine Greening) announced
an additional £1.3 billion for schools over the next two years, so that total funding
for the core schools budget will rise from almost £41 billion this year to £43.5 billion
in 2019-20. This will mean that overall schools’ funding will be protected, in real
terms per pupil, over the next two years. The introduction of the national funding
formula, means that for the first time that total will be distributed based on the
individual needs and characteristics of every school in the country. It is for each
school to determine the use of the resources available to it, in order to raise the
attainment of all its pupils, and to meet all its statutory responsibilities.</p>
