The available information on expenditure in maintained primary and secondary schools in York local authority is shown in the table below. Local authority maintained schools receive their funding from their local authority, who control how this is apportioned. To provide data for further years would incur disproportionate cost.

1. The detailed definition of every income and expenditure category is available on the Department's website at the following link: http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/adminandfinance/financialmanagement/consistentreporting/b00205260/consistent-financial-reporting-online-guide

2. School expenditure data is provided by local authority maintained schools only. It does not contain data on academies. Therefore the income and expenditure figures are affected by the numbers of schools converting to academy status. In particular this affects the figures for secondary schools and makes year on year comparisons difficult.

3. Cash terms figures as reported by schools.

4. Per pupil figures are based on pupils and income and expenditure in schools that were open for the full financial year.

5. Total expenditure is the sum of the following four categories; teaching staff, education support staff, other employee costs and running expenses (E01 to E32 excluding code E30).

6. Income generated by schools (rather than the funding received through central Government and local authorities) covers CFR codes I07 to I13 plus I17 which includes, for example, income generated from facilities, services, catering, parental contributions towards school visits and donations. It also includes receipts from insurance claims.
