London loses in proposed schools funding formula

The Government are consulting on a new funding formula for schools. It will determine school budgets on a consistent basis nationally. The largest proportion of funding (72.5%) will be based on the number of pupils in a school. However, the new formula also recognises deprivation, low prior attainment of the pupils, pupils with English as an additional language, mobility, sparsity of population as well as some fixed running costs and adjustments for regional variation in costs. There is no new money attached to the proposals. The new formula distributes the same level of money in a different way creating winners…

As part of our work on the GLA annual education report for 2015, we reviewed the underpinning data to understand the causes.

However, with the wonders of modern technology we are now able to depict long, (and potentially rather dry) documents using Word Clouds. So, we decided to take a look at the 2011 Education Act to pull out some key messages. Once we had removed the legalese (such as the 746 uses of the word subsection, and 313 uses of the word substitute) the picture above is what we found… So, what does this tell us? Well, firstly we can see…
