Notes:

1. Capital allocations includes capital grant and supported borrowing allocations.

2. Figures are rounded to the nearest £100,000.

3. Funding in 2015-16 is still subject to project progress and is therefore subject to change. The funding figures provided for 2015/16 only include formulaic programmes and payments to date. Further funding is yet to be released for capital programmes dependent upon project progress and this has not been reflected in the figures.

The main revenue funding allocations from this department to local authorities are made up of the dedicated schools grant (DSG), pupil premium, and education services grant (ESG).

Details of these allocations to all local authorities for financial years 2011 to 2016 (from 2013 only for ESG), including those in the West Midlands, can be found at the links below:
