Education budget statement
Section 251 budget statement (formerly Section 52 budget statement)
Children’s Services must, by law, prepare a budget statement before the beginning of each financial year for that year.
This statement has tables that show how much money schools will get—this includes money schools get directly and money that is kept to help all schools.
Please note: we know these files might not be suitable for users of assistive technology.
These files come from the Department for Education. We have updated them, but if you use assistive technology, please contact us, and we will try our best to help. We will tell you what to do next.
