LEA funding

The roles and responsibilities of LEAs in funding schools are set out in the School Funding area of TeacherNet.
http://www.teachernet.gov.uk /management/schoolfunding/ schoolfundingrolesandresponsibilities/

The School Funding area also has some useful frequently asked questions.

The benchmarking tables of planned expenditure, based on budget statements from LEAs, replaced the old comparative tables of LEA expenditure.

For guidance for local authorities on the management of SEN expenditure see the SEN area of TeacherNet.
