<p>The Government wants to make sure that all pupils, regardless of where they live
or their background, receive a good education that enables them to fulfil their potential.
We have made significant progress as there are now 1.8 million more pupils in schools
that are rated as good or outstanding than there were in 2010.</p><p> </p><p>We want
to ensure every school has the resources it needs to deliver an excellent education
for every pupil. That is why the core schools budget has been protected in real terms
since 2010 and is set to rise from £41 billion in 2017-18 to over £42 billion in 2019-20
with increasing pupil numbers.</p><p> </p><p>We know that the way in which schools
use their money is also an important factor in delivering the best outcomes for pupils.
We will, therefore, continue to provide support to help them use their funding in
cost effective ways. The Government has produced tools, information and guidance to
support improved financial health and efficiency in schools, which can be found at:

details on the Government’s plans will be available in due course.</p>
