This is not new money. The real story here is that Local authorities always were given money to help deprived schools but many of them including RBK, were guilty of not allocating it appropriately so the Government took this responsibility away from Local Authorities and now funds schools for deprivation directly. This is excellent news for schools like Kings Oak where I used to be a Governor and spent many years fighting RBK for fair funding. http://tinyurl.com/9wra5gg
