Haringey Council adopted a new school funding model for 2026-27, aligning with the National Funding Formula.
Haringey Council adopted a new school funding model for the 2026-27 academic year in January 2026, aligning its approach with the Department for Education's National Funding Formula. This decision, approved by Councillor Zena Brabazon, Cabinet Member for Children, Schools & Families, set a 0% Minimum Funding Guarantee for all schools in the borough.
While the overall Dedicated Schools Grant allocation for Haringey increased due to additional grants, the core funding per pupil will not see an uplift for the 2026-27 academic year. This is a direct result of the 0% Minimum Funding Guarantee, which was set within the allowable range of -0.5% to 0%.
