answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2018 answer text <p>Funding for schools is at a record high. Per pupil funding is 50% more in real-term than in 2000.</p><p>The introduction of the national funding formulae is supported by significant extra investment of £1.3 billion across 2018-19 and 2019-20, over and above the budget announced at the 2015 spending review. Core funding for schools and high needs will rise from almost £41 billion in 2017-18 to £42.4 billion this year and £43.5 billion in 2019-20. This will allow us to maintain school and high needs funding in real terms per pupil for the next two years, and figures from the Institute for Fiscal Studies show that real terms per pupil funding in 2020 will be at least 50% higher than in 2000.</p><p>The following table shows the impact of the fully implemented national funding formula for the four metropolitan boroughs in South Yorkshire. These figures are calculated as if the national funding formula had been implemented in full in 2017-18, with no transitional arrangements.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Average per pupil funding in 2017-18</p></td><td><p>Average per pupil funding under the full national funding formula</p></td><td><p>% gain</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Barnsley</p></td><td><p>£4,438</p></td><td><p>£4,839</p></td><td><p>9.0%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Doncaster</p></td><td><p>£4,515</p></td><td><p>£4,679</p></td><td><p>3.6%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Rotherham</p></td><td><p>£4,676</p></td><td><p>£4,810</p></td><td><p>2.9%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sheffield</p></td><td><p>£4,406</p></td><td><p>£4,696</p></td><td><p>6.6%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>National average</p></td><td><p>£4,499</p></td><td><p>£4,657</p></td><td><p>3.5%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>The Government recognises that many schools have worked hard to manage the impact of cost pressures on their budgets up to this point.
