<p>Schools in Gravesham are receiving an extra £5.4 million in 2020-21 through the
national funding formula. This is equivalent to an increase of 4.6% in per pupil funding
and takes total funding for 2020-21 for schools in Gravesham to over £77.7 million.</p><p>Schools
in Gravesham will also benefit from the catch-up package to support schools to make
up for lost teaching time. This £1 billion package is on top of the £2.6 billion increase
this year in school budgets, announced last year as part of a £14 billion three-year
funding settlement.</p><p>Schools are free to choose how they spend this to support
their pupils, including on online tuition and teaching materials, and we trust head
teachers to spend their budgets in a way that achieves the best outcomes.</p><p> </p>
