The current funding system does not support our aspiration that all children reach their full potential and succeed in adult life. Similar local areas and similar schools receive very different levels of funding, with little or no justification. Having consulted on the principles and building blocks earlier in 2016, we are now seeking views on the detail of the formula and the arrangements we propose for the transition towards the formula.

The illustrative effect of the proposed schools national funding formula (NFF) for schools in the Tynemouth constituency, in year 1 of the operation of the formula, and overall, is provided in the table below.

These figures are illustrative only and not actual allocations. The formula is subject to consultation, and the illustrative figures use pupil and school data from 2016-17 to show what would have happened to each school’s funding if the formula had been implemented in full in 2016-17. A school’s actual funding allocations for future years will reflect the latest data about a school and its pupils.
