This guide explains how to estimate a new academy’s revenue funding, known as the general annual grant (GAG). It links to online data and has examples for each of the main elements of the GAG.

For academies opening as free schools, studio schools and UTCs, we have produced separate templates to calculate indicative allocations:

• free schools, including special and AP free schools
• UTCs
• studio schools
