Applies to England
Documents
Details
The Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) closed on 31 March 2025. All activity has moved to the Department for Education (DfE). You should continue to follow this guidance.
This guidance is for:
- local authorities
- school leaders
- school teachers
- governing bodies and their representatives
It relates to local authority maintained schools, academies (including free schools) and non-maintained special schools (NMSS) in England.
Methodology
This document sets out the methodology for the teachers’ pay additional grant (TPAG) 2024 to 2025. This includes guidance on how we will allocate funding in 2024 to 2025 for both mainstream schools and special schools and alternative provision (AP) schools.
Conditions of grant
This document sets out the terms and conditions that local authorities, academies and NMSS must follow.
Allocations
We have published school level allocations showing the funding allocated for 2024 to 2025 for mainstream and special schools. We have also published allocations for new and growing schools as at February 2025.
Payments
Local authorities and academies will receive their payments for 2024 to 2025 in 2 tranches. Payments will be made in May 2024 for local authorities, and June 2024 for academies, to cover April 2024 to August 2024; and in October 2024 for local authorities, and November 2024 for academies, to cover September 2024 to March 2025.
More information on payments can be found in the methodology document.
Academies will receive an additional payment of the TPAG (to cover April to August 2025) in May 2025.
