Primary Education: Barnsley East

Answer

Allocations are calculated by Local Authority area, not by constituency. Maintained school allocations are calculated for a financial year that runs from April to March, while academies are funded on a financial year that matches the academic year. The figures provided show the total for the financial year across primary and secondary schools.

The revenue funding figures shown below are for 2013 to 2022. Before 2013/14, funding allocated by the Department through the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) was allocated to Local Authorities as a single amount that was intended to fund school budget shares (including academies), local authority central services for schools, additional support for high needs pupils, and provision for early years education.

In 2013/14 the DSG was divided into funding blocks for a schools block, central services schools block, high needs block and early years block. The schools block is allocated based on the number of pupils in schools within each Local Authority. The amounts allocated by Barnsley Metropolitan Council from their schools block to primary and secondary schools and academies for each year since 2013/14 to 2021/22 are shown in the following table:

Financial year	Schools classed as primary schools (£)	Schools classed as secondary schools (£)	Total (£)
