We allocate funding for new school places to local authorities three years in advance, in order to balance the need for robust forecasts with the need to ensure certainty for local authorities over their future funding allocations. We have committed to spending £7 billion on school places up to 2021, which along with our investment in the free schools programme we expect to deliver 600,000 new places. This is in addition to the £5 billion allocated by the Coalition Government between 2011 and 2015.
