Notes:

Education SSAs are made up of five sub-blocks—Primary, Secondary, Post-16, Under fives and Other. The national increase across all five sub-blocks sums to £1,017 million. The primary and secondary SSA figures in this table exclude funding nationally for under-fives, sixth forms and other education services provided by authorities which are unrelated to schools.
