ESFA issues new guidance for estimating academy funding allocations
The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) has issued guidance to help newly formed academies estimate their funding allocations.
This guide is designed for schools converting to become academies, and schools becoming sponsored academies, between 1 September 2022 and 31 March 2023.
The ESFA has issued separate guidance for free schools, studio schools and university technical colleges.
The key points covered include:
General annual grant (GAG): mainstream academies
GAG is revenue funding and is used by academies to meet their day-to-day running costs. The main element of this funding is the pre-16 school budget share (SBS). Contact us for advice.
