2027/28 school funding formula
Kensington and Chelsea's Schools' Forum is consulting on options to align the 2027/28 school funding formula with national guidelines.
In June 2026, Kensington and Chelsea's Schools' Forum agreed to consult on three options for the 2027/28 school funding formula, as reported by story 7657. These options propose moving a further 10%, 15%, or 20% towards the national funding formula (NFF) factor values, with the 10% option being the minimum required by the Department for Education (DfE).
The forum's aim is to align the local formula, which allocates funds to schools for the academic year 2027/28, more closely with national guidelines. The Department for Education is expected to finalise the parameters for local funding formulae, which will inform the forum's subsequent decisions.
