Notes:
1. Total spending on schools by LEAs is not yet available. The figures provided show the funding allocated to each LEA by the Government for pupils aged 3–10 and 11–15.
2. Total funding includes funding via the relevant sub-blocks of the Education Formula Spending settlement / Standard Spending Assessment and revenue grants allocated at an LEA level. It includes the pensions transfer to EPS and the Learning and Skills Council, and is in cash terms.
3. Total funding also includes all revenue grants in DfES Departmental Expenditure Limits relevant to pupils aged 3–10 and 11–15, and exclude EMAs and grants not allocated at LEA level. For those LEAs in receipt of advance of grant under the transitional support arrangements for 2004–05, advance grant funding is included in the year of payment (2004–05). There will be a consequential reduction in DfES grant for these LEAs in future years (either 2006–07 and 2007–08 or 2008–09, depending on the terms on which the advance was given to the LEA).
4. The pupil numbers used to convert £ million figures to per pupil are those underlying the SSA/EFS settlement calculations plus PLASC 3-year-old maintained pupils and estimated 3 to 4-year-olds funded through state support in maintained and other educational institutions where these are not included in the SSA pupil numbers.
5. Rounding: Per pupil figures are rounded to the nearest £10. Total allocation figures are rounded to the nearest £10 million.
6. 2005–06 figures are provisional as some grants have not yet been finalised/validated.
