Education Funding

Early Years (Nursery, Pre-school and Reception) Funding

If your child is aged 3 or 4 and recieves disability living allowance (DLA), the setting they attend is eligible to recieve disability access funding, which is £615 per child per year. They should contact the local authoritiy on how to claim this.

Early Years SEND Inclusion Fund (SENDIF) is a system for sharing a budget to support children with low level needs and emerging SEND to early years settings. Find a simple guide to SENDIF here. 

Early Years Funding For Inclusion (EYFFI) is for children in early years settings who have high level SEND. Find a simple guide to EYFFI here. 

 

Primary School Funding

Schools have a notional budget of £6000 for a child with additional needs. 

Through a child's EHCP a discussion should also take place so that the local authority provide school with adequate funding on top of the £6000 to ensure all the support the child needs- this is called Funding for Inclusion (FFI).

FFI is funding for pupils of school age with SEND.  Find a simple guide to FFI here.
