tabling member constituency	Slough
tabling member printed	Fiona Mactaggart
uin	215586
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2014 answer text <p>Funding to local authorities for both primary and secondary schools is calculated on the basis of pupil numbers recorded in the Schools Census in October of the previous year. This lagged funding system allows local authorities to set firm school budgets before the financial year starts, which helps schools’ financial planning. The lagged funding system means that institutions experiencing growth in-year will not ordinarily see increases in their funding until the following financial year.</p><p>Local authorities do have the freedom to top slice the dedicated schools grant to form a growth fund, which can be used to support schools and academies suffering financial difficulty due to growing pupil numbers in their area. It is for local authorities to decide whether to set up a growth fund, and which schools in their areas should benefit from this fund.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 27/11/2014 12:46:56 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws
