School block funding

I am asking this question of every local education authority in England.

1) Is the council planning to move a percentage of its school’s block funding to its high needs block for 2026-2027

2) If so what percentage of funding and how much is this?

3) Has the school’s forum approved this plan?

4) Did the council move a percentage of its schools block funding to its high needs block for 2025-2026.

5) And if so what percentage of funding and how much was this?

1. Yes.

2. 0.50%. £3,233,849.

3. Yes - meeting 27/11/2025.

4. Yes.

5. 0.45%. £2,811,663.
