Element 3 Funding 2025-26

As already advised, the intention is to implement the new approach from the new academic year to allow time for planning and preparation for us to work with schools and academy trusts 

To enable this to happen, we will keep the current arrangements in place during autumn 2024 and spring 2025 will extend through to the end of the summer term, allowing the implementation of the revised model to be from the start of the academic year.   

This guidance intends to provide clarity regarding the calculation of the summer allocations, and the school level indicative allocations will be shared on the 2024/25 budget share tracker in due course.  As a high-level principle, the autumn and spring allocations combined account for 7/12ths of the year and the summer term allocations will extend by a further 5/12ths.   

See Element 3 Guidance: Summer Term 2025 .
