The government has today published the figures for increased money for schools in 2024-5 by constituency under the National Funding Formula. The local Education Authority decides the final allocations by school.

Wokingham sees an increase of 7.2%, one of the larger increases, to a total of £107 m for its schools. Wokingham can afford more than the £4655 minimum for each  primary pupil and £6050 for secondary pupils laid down by the government with money for 5% above these figures.

There will also  be extra payments to cover  additional costs of teachers pay awards on top of this grant.
