Schools finance

The following documents are published under Section 52 of the Schools Standards and Framework Act 1998. The form, content and publication requirements are set out by the Secretary of State under The Education (Budget Statements) (England) Regulations 2006. This means that all local authorities will be producing these statements to a common format using a proforma supplied by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES).

The Section 52 statement is the means by which the local authority informs schools, the DfES and the general public about its spending plans for the year. In addition, it provides information on the whole of the education budget (not just schools related expenditure), the formula used to determine schools' budget shares and each individual school’s allocation. The Section 52 outturn statement provides information about the local authority's actual expenditure and income for the previous year.
