The School and Early Years Finance (England) Regulations 2025

14 Places

(1) In determining budget shares for special schools, a local authority— (a) must include £10,000 for each place other than— (i) hospital education places; and (ii) places for those who are 19 years old or older, unless they are continuing to attend a particular course of secondary education which they began before they reached the age of 18; and (b) must not include funding for places for those who are 19 years old or older, unless they are continuing to attend a particular course of secondary education which they began before they reached the age of 18. (2) In determining budget shares for primary or secondary schools maintained by the local authority with places which it has reserved for children with special educational needs, a local authority must— (a) in the case of a place that was taken by a pupil on 3rd October 2024, include £6,000 per place; and (b) in all other cases except hospital education places, include £10,000 per place. (3) In determining budget shares for pupil referral units, a local authority must include £10,000 for each place other than hospital education places. (4) Paragraph (3) applies to places to be commissioned by schools or directly by a local authority. (5) For each hospital education place referred to in paragraphs (1) to (3) the local authority must include at least the equivalent amount per hospital education place which it included in the budget share of the school or pupil referral unit, as the case may be, in the previous funding period. (6) In determining budget shares under this regulation, a local authority must ensure that it funds places which may be taken by children who are not ordinarily resident in its area.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
