1. Figures are derived from local education authorities' returns of their net institutional expenditure to the Department of the Environment and of their pupil numbers to the Department for Education. The expenditure figures are provisional and are subject to final checking by the Department of Environment and the Department for Education.
2. Net institutional expenditure covers the direct costs in schools of salaries and wages, premises and certain supplies and services. It does not include the costs of school meals, home to school transport, LEA central administration, and financing costs of capital expenditure. The figure also includes unspent balances held by schools at the year end under local management of schools schemes.
