The per pupil revenue funding figures for years 1997-98 to 2005-06, for Sefton local authority are shown in the following table. Comparable figures are not available for 1993-94 to 1996-97.
The revenue per pupil figures shown in the following table is taken from the dedicated schools grant (DSG) which was introduced in April 2006. They are not comparable with those for the years 1997-98 to 2005-06 because the introduction of the DSG in 2006-07 fundamentally changed how local authorities are funded.The 1997-98 to 2005-06 figures are based on education formula spending (EPS) which formed the education part of the Local Government Finance Settlement, plus various grants. The DSG is based on planned spend. In addition, the DSG has a different coverage to EFS, which comprises a schools block and an LEA block (to cover LEA central functions) whereas DSG only covers the school block. LEA block items are still funded through DCLG's Local Government Finance Settlement but education items cannot be separately identified. Consequently, there is a break in the Department's time series as the two sets of data are not comparable.

| 1. Price Base: The real terms figures are at 2006-07 prices, based on GDP deflators as at 26 September 2007 | ||
| 2. Figures reflect relevant sub-blocks of standard spending assessment/education formula spending (EFS) settlements and exclude the pensions transfer to EFS and LSC. | ||
| 3. Total funding also includes all revenue grants in DfES Departmental Expenditure Limits relevant to pupils aged three to 19 and exclude education maintenance allowances (EMAs) and grants not allocated at LEA level. | ||
| 4. The pupil numbers used to convert m figures to per pupil are those underlying the SSA/EFS settlement calculations plus PLASC three-year-old maintained pupils and estimated three to four-year-olds funded through state support in maintained and other educational institutions where these are not included in the SSA pupil numbers. | ||

| Notes: | ||
| 1. The revenue funding per pupil figures only run to 2005-06 because we cannot provide a consistent time series beyond that year as the introduction of the dedicated schools grant (DSG) in 2006-07 fundamentally changed how local authorities are funded. The 1997-98 to 2005-06 figures are based on education formula spending (EFS) which formed the education part of the Local Government Finance Settlement, plus various grants. This was an assessment of what local authorities needed to fund education rather than what they spent. In 2006-07 funding for schools changed with the introduction of the DSG which is based largely on an authority's planned spend. | ||
| 2. In addition, DSG has a different coverage to EFS: EFS comprised a schools block and an LEA block (to cover LEA central functions) whereas DSG only covers the school block. LEA block items are still funded through DCLG's Local Government Finance Settlement but education items cannot be separately identified. This means we have a break in our time series as the two sets of data are not comparable. | ||
| 3. Some of the grant allocations have not been finalised. If these do change, the effect on the funding figures is expected to be minimal. |

The Department has maintained a central record of capital allocations to local authorities since 1996-97. Capital funding allocated to Sefton during the period 1996 to 2008, excluding that allocated as capital formula funding to the local authority and direct to schools, is set out in the following table:
The £23.1 million allocation in 2007-08 is for a one school pathfinder project.The Department does not keep records of the amount allocated to Formby, as this is determined by the local authority in accordance with priorities set out in its asset management plan.During the period 1996-97 to 2007-08 a total of £149.5 million has been allocated to Sefton, including formula funding. A further £55.5 million is planned to be allocated in the period 2008-09 to 2010-11. Local authorities and schools are able to use their formula funding either to improve existing facilities, or to construct additional facilities.
