answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2019 answer text <p>Local authorities are legally required to provide schools with sufficient funds to enable schools to meet the additional cost of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities, up to £6,000. Local authorities must set a notional SEN budget for every school in their area as part of their local schools formula, funded from the overall schools budget, although this funding is not ring-fenced and it remains the responsibility of each school to manage its overall budget, and ensure that the needs of all its pupils are being met.</p><p>When the costs of additional support required for a pupil with SEN exceed £6,000, the local authority should also allocate additional top-up funding to cover the excess costs. This funding comes from the local authority’s high needs budget. On 17 December 2018, we announced an addition of £250 million in high needs funding across the current financial year and the next, on top of the additional funding we had already promised. As a result, Nottinghamshire will receive an additional £1.7 million of this funding in each year, bringing their high needs funding total to £66.5 million in 2019-20.</p><p>The figures for the last three years are illustrated below.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Schools Funding Amount</p></td><td><p>High Needs Funding Amount</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>£447.8 million</p></td><td><p>£57.3 million</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>£459.4 million</p></td><td><p>£59.8 million</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>£469.1 million</p></td><td><p>£64.0 million</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 22/01/2019 15:41:05 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2019 answer text <p>Local authorities are legally required to provide schools with sufficient funds to enable them to meet the additional cost of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities, by up to £6,000, in their base budgets.</p><p>When the costs of additional support required for a pupil with SEN exceed £6,000, the local authority should also allocate additional top-up funding to cover the excess costs. This funding comes from the local authority’s high needs budget. Whilst many pupils who are in receipt of this top-up funding do have an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan, it is not a requirement for them to have one; nor is there a requirement that every pupil with an EHC plan should receive top-up funding. The allocation of this top-up funding is a matter between the local authority and the school, and the department does not collect information on when schools are allocated funding by local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 22/01/2019 12:56:28 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
