<p>This government is committed to providing a world class education system for all
children and has invested significantly in education to achieve that. Overall school
funding, including the recently announced additional pensions funding, is rising to
£60.7 billion in 2024/25, which is the highest ever level in real terms per pupil.
This means that real terms funding for schools in England has increased rather than
decreased since 2010.</p><p>Through the National Funding Formula (NFF), funding is
distributed fairly based on the needs of each school and their pupils and all schools
attract a per pupil increase in funding. Mainstream schools in the Rochdale Constituency
are attracting an extra £1 million in 2024/25 compared to 2023/24 through the schools
NFF, which is an increase of 1.9% per pupil in their pupil-led funding. This means
schools in the Rochdale Constituency will attract over £112.1 million, based on the
schools NFF. Constituency figures are based on an aggregation of school-level allocations
through the NFF, and final allocations will depend on the local authority’s funding
formula.</p>
