For the financial years 2011–2012 to 2012–2013, the table contains schools revenue budget data for local authority maintained schools only, excluding academies. From 2013-2014, the total schools revenue budget has been reported to the Department for Education prior to academy recoupment and does therefore include academy data.
During 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 the schools revenue budget data included the pupil premium. In 2013–2014 and 2014–2015 the pupil premium was paid as a separate grant and no longer included in this data.
