The Government have made no specific assessment of the effect of migration from A8 countries on education spending per capita in each Government Office region. School funding is based on overall pupil projections, using ONS population projections, which take account of migration and birth rate. School funding for individual local authorities is allocated on actual pupil numbers based on the January school census.
The Department for Children, Schools and Families has recently announced an additional exceptional circumstances grant to local authorities with significant extra pressures on their schools budgets from new arrivals, between January and the start of the school-year. This will be on a case by case basis when there is a significant increase in pupil numbers in a local authority; or where the proportion of EAL pupils significantly increases in a local authority.
