Additional Support Funding (ASF) is a notional Special Educational Needs (SEN) budget.
The level of funding is based on a notional level of children with SEN at all schools. It is not based on the number of children with SEN at individual schools.
Schools will spend different amounts on supporting children with SEN, depending on their individual needs. However, schools should use this funding (of up to £6,000 per child) to support children with SEN.
This is in addition to the Age Weighted Pupil Unit (AWPU) funding.
Top-up funding helps children with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan, where necessary. This funding supports the outcomes and support set out in your child’s EHC plan.
This funding will follow your child. If your child joins a school part-way through the year, the amount of funding the school will get will be based on the number of days left in the financial year, which runs from April to March.
If your child leaves a school partway through a year, the funding will move with them to their new school.
This additional funding is to help disadvantaged pupils perform better at school. Find out about pupil premium funding on GOV.UK.
