Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the answer of 22 April 2026 to question 908740 on Service Pupil Premium, how additional funding via the mobility factor in the schools national funding formula is allocated.

To better support the educational needs of mobile pupils, the mobility factor in the schools national funding formula allocates additional funding to support schools with high levels of pupil mobility.

Schools where more than 6% of pupils joined at a non-typical date through the school year in the last three years attract funding through the factor. Reception pupils whose first recorded census was in the summer and pupils from years 1-11 whose first recorded census was in the spring or summer are deemed to have joined on non-typical dates.
