Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to her oral statement of 17 July 2017 Official Report, column 564, what definition her Department uses for an underfunded school.

We have now published the final national funding formula. We are making significant progress towards the formula, with underfunded schools receiving gains of up to 6%, per pupil, by 2019-20.

Further details of the formulae can be found online at:
