Table 4 - Funding Factors

The Local Authority is required to set out the detail of every formula factor.  Each school must be able to relate its own budget share back to the items set out in this part.  The Local Authority must therefore include a complete list of all factors and values in their formula and details of the funds allocated across all schools according to each factor.
