The Government has now announced the grant funding to assist schools with the increase in Employers National Insurance Contributions. Further information can be found at the following links
Mainstream schools and Early Years
Special Schools and Alternative Provision
For mainstream schools a calculator has been published, however, we have discovered some errors in the calculations/data, for example when entering your URN it may bring up another school and therefore the incorrect allocation. Our advice is not to use this, however if you choose to do so please do this with caution and check that the information shown is correct.
If you have already had your budget meeting, your Accountancy Assistant will update the spreadsheet and send the revised version to you. This will have the correct funding included. At the same time the spreadsheet will be updated to include the revised Pupil Premium rates as shown below.
FSM6 Primary – £1,515 per pupil
FSM6 Secondary – £1,075 per pupil
Post-LAC – £2,630 per pupil
Service Premium – £350 per pupil
