<p>The Department is allocating an additional £400 million of capital funding to schools
in 2018–19. This funding is in addition to the £1.4 billion of condition allocations
already provided this year to those responsible for maintaining school buildings.
This will ensure that the school estate is well maintained.</p><p>As with Devolved
Formula Capital, pupil referral units, alternative-provision academies, alternative-provision
free schools, and general hospital schools will benefit from the funding, along with
maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools, academies and free schools, special
schools, non-maintained special schools and sixth-form colleges. It will also be allocated
to those specialist post-16 institutions that have eligible state-funded pupils.</p><p>In
December, the Department plans to publish a ready reckoner, which is a self-service
calculation tool that will allow schools to estimate their allocations. The final
allocations are expected to be published in the new year.</p>
