We’ve updated the 2024 to 2025 dedicated schools grant (DSG) funding allocations to reflect recoupment and high needs deductions for academies as at 1 March 2024. The update also reflects the increase in the number of funded weeks for both the under 2s entitlement and the under 2s early years pupil premium.
