The distribution of the DSG to local authorities will continue to be set out in three spending blocks for each authority: an early years block, a schools block and a high needs block.</p><p /> <p>2. As I announced in my statement to the House on 17 July, the underlying school budget will be kept at flat cash per pupil for 2015-16 with an increase in schools block per pupil funding for the 69 least fairly funded local authorities.</p><p /> <p> </p><p /> <p> </p><p /> <p>3. To protect schools from significant budget reductions, we will continue with a Minimum Funding Guarantee that ensures no school sees more than a 1.5% per pupil reduction in 2015-16 budgets (excluding sixth form funding) compared to 2014-15 and before the Pupil Premium is added.</p><p /> <p> </p><p /> <p>4.
