Schools recurrent funding (formerly the Fair Funding website)
We are currently reviewing the content of this site as most of it is historic and is in the process of being archived within the school funding pages on teachernet.
For up to date information, such as current regulations, please consult the index on the School Funding site. Information about LEA and school funding for 2003-04 can be found on the Education Funding Strategy Group website.
The school funding system introduced in 1999 built upon Local Management of Schools (LMS) by increasing the level of financial delegation to schools. Its key aspects are formula funding and the delegation of financial responsibility to schools. It is used by Local Education Authorities (LEAs) to calculate the budgets of all schools maintained by them. It also sets the framework for the financial relationship that operates between schools and their LEAs.
