Following consultation with Schools Forum, please find attached a document containing the 2026/27 Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) budget shares for the year from April 2026 to March 2027. The document is in the order of your 4-digit Department for Education number. A covering letter providing some background information is also provided.
All of Northumberland’s 157 mainstream schools are subject to the same funding formula and are included but academies are reminded that their figures are illustrative only. They are funded on an academic year (September to August) basis and the Department for Education is responsible for the issue of their budget shares via their Annual Funding Letter.
Any queries should in the first instance be discussed with your Accountant or Finance Manager.
Further information is also available at Northumberland’s School Forum website here.
Northumberland Schools Forum is currently seeking additional representatives. Please contact Bruce Parvin if you are interested in this or for any queries in relation to the funding formula.
