Details

The financial template is a budget planning tool for:

  • groups proposing to open a mainstream or 16 to 19 free school
  • open mainstream and 16 to 19 free schools
  • groups proposing to open a mainstream (LA presumption) school

It gives an indicative funding allocation based on the size, phase and location of the school.

If you are applying to open a mainstream or 16 to 19 free school, you should also complete the application forms.

You can also read revenue funding for mainstream and 16 to 19 free schools guides.

The Excel spreadsheets are not accessible because they have hard to read text contrast and use of colour to denote meaning. This means it does not meet WCAG success criteria 1.1.1 non-text content, 1.3.2 meaningful sequence, 1.4.3 contrast and 1.4.1 use of colour. Our teams are working to fix these by June 2021.
