North Lincolnshire Local Offer Funding

Education Funding

Statutory education is funded by central government. The budget is given to Local Authorities who determine how it is delegated to schools and settings.

All educational institutions have a budget to provide a quality teaching and learning environment and their performance is judged by Ofsted.

The School Funding Reform of 2013 changed the way in which schools, settings and providers were funded for pupils with additional and special educational needs. These new arrangements have been introduced from April 2013 for maintained schools and in August 2013 for further education (FE) institutions / Academies.
