<p>The table below sets out the funding allocated to South Gloucestershire to fund
schools in the years requested. It also sets out the high needs funding given to the
local authority, which is for pupils with complex special educational needs and disabilities.
Some of this funding goes to mainstream schools to help them meet the needs of these
pupils.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Schools
block allocation </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>High needs allocation</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18[1]</p></td><td><p>£151.15
million</p></td><td><p>£29.66 million</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19[1]</p></td><td><p>£151.19
million</p></td><td><p>£31.04 million</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019-20 (illustrative)[2]</p></td><td><p>£154.76
million</p></td><td><p>£31.33 million</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>In addition
to the funding allocated through the national funding formula, schools will receive
funding from specific grants - for example, through the pupil premium, or the PE and
sports premium.</p><p>Local authorities remain responsible for setting school budgets
at a local level, and individual schools may see their funding change due to changing
pupil numbers or characteristics, or changes in how the local authority distributes
funding.</p><p> </p><p>[1] Figures are from the Schools Block of the Dedicated Schools
Grant (DSG) for 2017-18 and 2018-19. In addition, the national funding formula (NFF)
came into force in April 2018 for the 2018-19 financial year, so South Gloucestershire’s
2017-18 allocation was not calculated using the national funding formula.</p><p>[2]
Figures are from the NFF allocations published in July 2018 for 2019-20. DSG figures
for 2019-20 as these are not yet published. 2019-20 NFF figures are illustrative because
they will be updated to reflect the latest pupil numbers when the 2019-20 DSG allocations
are confirmed.</p><p> </p>
