What is it?

The core schools budget grant (CSBG) is additional funding to help schools meet the financial costs of the 2024-25 financial year (covering the period from September 2024 to March 2025).

In particular, it's to help cover the costs of the teachers' pay award and the expected support staff pay offer (which is currently being negotiated).

The funding for mainstream schools will be incorporated into core budget allocations for 2025-26, by being rolled into the national funding formula (NFF) for 2025-26.

The CSBG for special and alternative provision (AP) schools will be combined with the teachers’ pay additional grant (TPAG) and teachers' pension employer contribution grant (TPECG) into a single allocation for 2025-26.
