<p>Local authorities continue to be responsible for distributing funding to schools
in their local area in 2019-20. School allocations for 2019-20 are yet to be confirmed
by local authorities. They will be published in due course.</p><p>The table attached
shows notional allocations through the national funding formula (NFF) for schools
in Walsall North in 2019-20, and compares these to the 2017-18 baselines. The notional
NFF figures are based on 2018-19 pupil data.</p><p>Total funding per pupil, which
includes both pupil-led and school-led funding, may decrease when the number of pupils
increases because school-led funding, which does not vary with pupil numbers, is divided
by a greater number of pupils. The attached table shows both changes in total funding
per pupil and changes in pupil-led funding per pupil.</p><p> </p>
