In July 2017 we announced an additional Ā£1.3 billion for schools and high needs across 2018-19 and 2019-20, in addition to the schools budget set at Spending Review 2015. This means funding per pupil for schools and high needs will be maintained in real terms for the next two years.

Alongside our substantial investment, we are committed to helping schools improve outcomes for pupils and promote social mobility by getting the best value from all of their resources. This includes providing support to schools ā€“ on issues like managing teacher workload, implementing flexible working, the recruitment of supply staff and the effective deployment of support staff ā€“ so that as much resource as possible is focused on enabling teachers to improve outcomes for pupils.
