Funding for children with special education needs in mainstream school
How are schools funded?   Back to First Page   How is the School Specific Allocation worked out?

How does the Local Authority know how much extra money to put into schools for pupils with special educational needs?

 

 Going to school
The money each school gets for children with SEN is divided into three parts:
1. Basic School Allocation - this helps pay towards the cost of a Special Education Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) and other SEN expenditure such as training.
2. School Specific Allocation - this money pays for children at Early Years Action and School Action, Early Years Action Plus and School Action Plus and a contribution towards children who have statements and need individual or small group support.
3. Pupil Specific Allocation - the local authority helps the school to fund the statements of children who need a high level of support.
