Schools Funding Arrangements 2027-28
In 2027-28, as in previous years, the local authority will continue to set a local schools’ funding formula, in consultation with its schools, under what is known as a ‘soft’ National Funding Formula (NFF).
The consultation will run from 5 October 2026 to 18 October 2026. Consultation responses are requested to be submitted no later than 11:45 pm on 18 October 2026.
