Note .
£27 per pupil ESG top up for academies in 2014/15 not continued.
New protection for academies in 2015/16. Generally those receiving low ESG
funding rates should not see a funding reduction of greater than 1% of total
funding through the reduction in ESG. Those academies with high historical
LACSEG/ESG funding rates will see higher reductions on a tapered basis.
