About the calculation of DSG
Read the technical note to understand how we calculate these allocations.
The DSG growth calculations values tables give details of the 2022 to 2023 financial year growth calculation, which forms part of the schools block in the DSG allocations.
Additional high needs allocations
In December 2021 we provided details on the additional high needs funding allocations of the DSG for 2022 to 2023, following the autumn spending review announcement of extra funding for schools and high needs. These allocations are now included in the DSG high needs block allocations shown in the DSG published allocations 2022 to 2023, above.
This extra funding recognises the additional costs that local authorities and schools will face in the coming year, which were not foreseen when the original high needs block allocations were calculated, including the Health and Social Care Levy, that will be applied initially through increased national insurance contributions from employers.
The additional funding also takes into account that colleges and other providers offering extra hours of study to students with high needs may require extra high needs top-up funding to support those students.
