This report from UK think tank the Education Policy Institute analyses the impact of potential funding policy decisions on individual schools and areas of the country.
This report is the first to use EPI’s new school funding model, which replicates the Department for Education’s own national funding formula (NFF) and allows us to analyse the impact of potential funding policy decisions on individual schools and areas of the country.
The analysis reveals the significant impact that projected falls in pupil numbers could have on school funding across England, showing the challenges that these demographic changes will present to the financial health of schools.
